Could you add me to the list?

I think that's the best argument for why the tech industry won't let that happen. All of the big tech stocks are getting a boost from this massive grift.

Worst case scenario one of the tech giants buys them. Then they pare back the expenses and hide it in their balance sheet, and keep everyone thinking AGI is just around the corner.

The most complex moral dilemma we get in games these days are just dialogue trees where you decide whether to be nice or an asshole.

Most games that give you that option don't even have any consequences for those choices, either. It'll be like:

"Will you kill this person?"

"I will not"

"Oops, they died anyway"

Awesome post!

I just did this, filed a claim and quickly got an email that they're sending $31. Plus I'm filing several for my deceased father. I also had several family members who have unclaimed property.

On that pages there's an RSS feed link, I think that will work in any other podcast app

That one with Trump kissing the flag is really funny to me

Do you really think they would follow those orders? I don't, and I don't think Trump thinks that, or he already would have made that order.

I think Trump hoped January 6th to be that sort of event, but it failed miserably. It failed because the only people willing to do anything about it were the chuds that showed up to his rally. They lacked any kind of shared political theory or goals. Some were there to have fun, some were there because they believed in Qanon, some wanted a christofacist dictatorship, and some thought they could fix the "voting irregularities" and go back to being a representative democracy. All those same impediments exist today for any kind of dismantling driven by citizens.

It could still happen if Trump suddenly got institutional backing for such a thing, like from the military, courts and big business, but it seems super unlikely. The bourgeoisie gets everything they need from both parties, why send America into economic chaos to keep one dipshit in charge?
