Almost across the board, new technology is used to spread two things: religious dogma and porn.

And the farmer's almanac, but mostly the Bible and porn.

Not just their business practices, but also just the oculus purchase.

I already had an oculus. I was told (via press release) that I wouldn't have any issues with not having a Facebook account...only for them to turn around a little while later and require a Facebook login.

This describes what I want - being able to have relatively blank walls/spaces that light up and fill up with content when you're wearing the headset.

I mean, okay. But it doesn't change the fact that it's true.

Maybe it won't work nationally, but when locals get tired enough of illegal policing that doesn't work, the refund argument might work locally.

This seems to mean they blame the government for lack of "security" before the attack, which could mean they just want more apartheid.

And "must resign after the war" is way different than "must resign." Any leader, but especially an authoritarian, would read this and say "Guess I should never end the war, then."

  1. you were the whip, so this should be both unsurprising and also something you could deal with, and 2) you aren't owed votes. If you aren't offering anyone what they want, their job is technically to get stuff for their constituents. No goodies, no support. You don't get in just because.

The research doesn't indicate this. Everyone is prone to echo chambers, but left leaning folks tend to have more diversified news sources, which is the balance to negate echo chambers.

I wonder what the monkey's paw will do to him if he does manage to pull this out.

The first book I read about this was Killing the Black Body, which detailed how slave bodies were handled (physically and by society) and then how that progressed into the eugenics movement that is still alive and well today.

From there it was just noticing it in the news whenever it comes up. Which is why I was hinging my statements on the frequency. I haven't done any analysis, it just hits the news often enough that I'm disgusted.

Thanks to Thallamanond and Nathaniel for providing specific sources.
