Well, he’s clearly not talking about small people like say, me or you compared to Trump or Musk. And let me be clear, he is probably wrong about that as well. If Trump is anti-google that is likely nothing more than a negotiating position.
It’s probably just a language thing. When he says small people he means sub-mega corporations. Actual humans probably pass beneath his notice.
True, the clue is the samurai sword.
Any European really, Sean Connery might be dead but his memory lives on.
Dealing with Microsoft’s bullshit has always been one of the most pursuasive arguments for Linux.
Or at least develop chronic backpain.
Fixed penalties just become the cost of doing business. Like actors, we need to start asking for percentage of gross.
What even is an assassination? It is entirely likely that this is based in a personal grievance. The guy did wrong by a lot of people. Might even have been a tyrannicide.
Shootings must be rare in NYC given how much attention this one is getting.
I think a lot of the appeal is that it does just drop you right in at the deep end and doesn’t set out much of the bigger picture stuff right there at the front. It’s not going to be to everyone’s liking.
It’s got a lot in common with hardboiled stories, except that where your classic hardboiled detective is moving through a world we are somewhat familiar with, Case is moving through somewhere rather more exotic. You might get some benefit from reading Burning Chrome and Johnny Mnemonic which are short stories then coming back.
There is probably something to be said for just visualising rather than trying to understand.
He died so you can sin. Would be a waste of a good blood sacrifice to live a pure life if your god is just handing out grace.
In some version of the myth they actually put an exit back to the living world up there. Sisyphus in life tried to cheat death (even succeeded for a bit) which is part of why he wound up in Tartarus. He could stop pushing the rock any time he wanted, but it would mean giving up on escape.
More expected than impressive. They didn’t invent warped moral frameworks but they do buy from the market leader. The accusations aren’t to convince people to leave the other team, it’s to allow people to justify taking those actions themselves. Stochastic vote manipulation of you will.
Which just goes to show his lack of presidential authority. - magas (I expect.)
Cut to a billionaire pushing orphans into the orphan crusher.
I’m doing my part.
Cut to individual in black block throwing a Molotov cocktail.
I’m doing my part.
I’m also depressed though.
The thing about serial killing is that it requires you to leave the house and meet new people, and frankly, that sounds like a lot of hassle I don’t need.
Hey, it’s got a handrail, it’s fine.
Don’t even need to wait that long if you listen to some of the high weirdness folk.
I sometimes suspect that the push for decimalisation was in part to avoid having to teach computers the old system.
