If anyone needs to be monitored, it’s all of these fucking techno-feudalist freaks.

If you know what feudalism is, and want it back so bad that you’re willing to bankroll it to the tune of billions of dollars, then you need to be monitored. At the very least. A real, functioning democracy would take those types of threats to its existence seriously.

Instead we (e.g. any alleged form of government safe guard meant to protect us from devolving back into such barbaric forms of society like feudalism) just sit back and say “huh, I wonder if they’ll be able to completely destroy our government this time. Oh well, guess we’ll find out”. Or even worse, now that these psychopaths control the levers of government in the US, they are actually aiding it. They think they want feudalism back because they’re just temporarily embarrassed feudal lords.

Edit:

These people literally want to make us back into serfs. And we’ll answer to a fucking LLM. That will be the only interface between us and the Lords. You know that Amazon chatbot? That’s your boss now… Err no that’s not right. The word “boss,” is not sufficient to describe the relationship. That chat bot owns you now. Well, the person who owns the server it’s running on owns you, but why would they ever choose to interact with dirty serfs when AI can do it? If it’s important, they’ll relay it to them. They won’t even be aware of your medical complaints, let alone need to hear them, let alone need to address the working conditions that created them.

This shit is not a joke and it is very much not funny. It’s genuinely insane that we are allowing this to happen.

Because $$

I hope that one day you have the clarity of mind (and capacity for critical thought) to look back at comments like this and cringe.

It’s literally where the word comes from for fuck sake. It’s not boilerplate if you’re having your indeterministic black box spit it out.

so perfect

Really? “Perfect?”

Honest question: why does everyone seem so impressed with this?

It has to be some sort of money laundering scheme

That argument is on the same level as “seatbelts in cars are bad because they restrict my movement”,

I don’t know enough about Javascript to speak about the actual argument itself, but unless at some point it became a life or death situation and people started dying because they didn’t use Typescript, then I’m going to say the argument likely is not on the same level.

Either way, fuck this dude

Wow, that’ll really show them!

I’ll never understand the blind worship these dudes get.

Millions of people come out to protests and it’s “not enough”, and everyone has a criticism. “Why bother if you’re just going to schedule it for a few hours of a Saturday and then go home?”, “you Americans never actually do anything beyond performance.” Etc.

Meanwhile, two multimillionaire Libertarian douchebags make the lamest most toothless fucking “statement”, and everyone here trips over themselves to jerk them off and give them some kind of credit.

Like Jesus Christ people, they haven’t actually done a single fucking thing.

It’s not even good satire. Like let’s break it down for a moment (I know, that’s how you ruin jokes, but I don’t think we need to worry much with this one): how does changing their name to add “America” to it do anything to mock, berate, etc. Trump?

I’m sorry but, “hahaha look, we can add the word ‘America’ to the title like you! Isn’t that funny?” just doesn’t cut it for me satire-wise. To a narcissist like Trump, this is basically a compliment.

And it’s kind of crazy to see so many otherwise intelligent -seeming people line up to suck them off over this.

Go read A Modest Proposal and lament at how far our satire skills have fallen.

These are two men with obscene amounts of money, and we’re praising them for this?

Talk about low standards.

agentic

How about no

My UE BOOM died a couple of years back. Loved that thing. Maybe I’ll get another one…

Yeah absolutely… We’ve gone so long without having to worry about sooooo much water-borne shit, that people don’t even realize.

Can’t wait for the mainstream return of dysentery and cholera

Is Nancy not entitled to the sweat of her brow??

Yeah how the fuck am I supposed to get 8 full hours of Rimworld without someone here to cook me chicken tenders?

The weekend which, by the way, is another concept that labor unions had to fight and died for.

Look, I’m not going to defend this bullshit decision, but humans survived millennia without regulated, clean, drinking water. Yes, some of the lucky ones had life, liberty, and maybe even some property.

They were drinking low % beer because it was safer. For literally thousands of years.

It was an absolute nightmare, and anyone with a working understanding of history knows exactly why we need regulated, clean, drinking water.

But unfortunately, here we are. A legislature that has abdicated it’s responsibility in prostrate to a mad king. With a Supreme Court with at least four justices, off the top of my head, that will have no issue poisoning our drinking water. And two more who could go either way.

Life, liberty, or property. No pursuit of happiness to be found.

You don’t need to be Arab to write an Islamic poem…

Not sure why I have to be the person in this thread to explain basic civics to everyone, but “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” is from the Declaration of Independence, it is not in the US Constitution.

The Declaration is not law, it was just a declaration. You can’t cite it like this, that’s not how it works.

Just wait until climate change has us fighting literal wars over it in a decade or two.

Yeah this is total bullshit and all, but The Declaration of Independence is not a legally binding document. It’s irrelevant to the situation, unfortunately. You can’t walk into a court and cite the Declaration of Independence as law or precedent.

I mean, I guess you could, but no judge would take you seriously because that’s not how jurisprudence works in the US.
