Powerful people committing horrific human-rights violations just to satisfy their own ego?

Damn, that’s never happened in the history of anything. /s

There is this classic:

“I am the righteous hand of god, and I am the devil that you forgot.” - Poor Man’s Poison

The history channel’s take, as well as others, that ancient civilizations could not have accomplished what they accomplished on their own, and therefore it’s aliens is peak Right-wing cope.

“Obviously those backwards non-white civilizations couldn’t have accomplished this on their own, because of their skin color. So therefore, the obvious solution is that they accomplished it because a hyper-intelligent space-fairing civilization took notice of their existence and arbitrarily decided to help them. This makes much more sense.” - Thought process of the utterly deranged.

Genuinely the only reason this smooth brain take is so popular is because its been echoed in media as an admittedly fun story-telling mechanism. But that’s all it is, a story. To put this on the history channel and claim it’s history is just one of the reasons why the History Channel has had their reputation sink in the past 20 years.

Yeah, the OIL joke is 20 years old.

We have so much more you can make fun of.

Yet Youtube allows for AI-Generated pseudo-science videos to flood their platform.

“But… my followers!”

Just don’t vote for Biden! When he loses, he’ll see the error of his ways in supporting a genocide. Then next electio- oh… oh…

The past few months to a year or so we’ve seen a total restructure of the internet. Reddit, Twitter, Facebook and YouTube have been actively scaring away their user bases.

It’s resulting in a split and divided internet. Like the days of old. Fediverse ActivityPub integration is the only thing that can undo that and revive these all-in-one style communications platforms.

I’m curious to see if it will be better or worse.

There was a hand wave. 👋

That joke was hilarious and you all liked it.

Can’t relate.

You know what would help?

Buying my Jpeg-err, NFTs.

Here’s an NFT of Trump riding a dragon and punching satan, it’s only $200 million dollars~

It’ll go to the moon, I pinky promise.

Good to know there’s still enough sane people left to make an effort like this.

Do di doodle do

Debian is more stable.

Alternatively, we could take money away cars and put it towards public transit infrastructure

“Right next to the Microsoft building?”

“Oh that’s not Microsoft, that’s-… big hard”

Not again.

Just when I was hoping to see some fan games start popping up, we’re gonna get Spyro 4: It’s about Slime or whatever. And they’ll probably lock it behind their stupid blizzard launcher and it will be console exclusive before it makes it to pc etc. etc.

I’m done. I loved Spyro, but it’s time to let a dead franchise rest in peace.
