Poe’s law strikes again!

Uhh, yes they did. There are trees that have evolved to take advantage of the aftermath of wildfires.

I can bring my own gun!?! Everyone else makes me leave it at home!

Apple was so successful in avoiding taxes in Europe that it is estimated that it paid in some years a tax of just 0.005% on its European profits.

And that is why stealing from a corporation is not a crime. They have deprived you, personally, of benefits and services that your government can not afford because of tax dodging. They are killing you, personally, by privatizing your health care, by opposing electrification, by using single use plastics for nearly all packaging. They are keeping you, personally, poor by suppressing wages, raising prices, and outsourcing labour to markets where slavery is not only tolerated but the norm.

You can not injure a corporation, you can not hurt it’s feelings. Pirate, lie, steal, cheat, get every penny you can from the 1% and use it to help the other 99.

Carney is looking less and less like the genius economy understander I was told he was and more and more like a bog standard orthodox Friedmanite. politician

More ISPs, there is one independent ISP left in Ontario and they are getting murdered by Bell/Rogers.

My employer’s stock price is 400% of what it was when I was hired, my wage has gone up 20% in the same period.

I can not wait for this house of cards to collapse. I have enough food, water, and locally stored media to barter my way though the first hump and get rescued by the Europeans.

What was wrong with bicycles?

Lazy people, shitty parents.

Nobody hoovers up more data than the US.

The US can’t even unlock an iPhone without calling in 3rd parties. EVERY Chinese made device collects data, and every Chinese business gives full access to the Chinese government. The US government does collect data but it’s no where near the scale of the Chinese.

Remember when Elon remotely unlocked that cybertruck recently and accessed the cameras?

He unlocked a device made by a company he owns, running software they designed on a network they operate. All that shows is that Tesla’s vehicles are not properly secured and remote access can be abused by Tesla employees.

Correlation attacks, China is king of hoovering up data.

Overly dramatic example: you are in the armed forces, you have a TikTok account, you post a bunch of shit that shows you are in the armed forces. You get deployed for some covert fuckabout and are told to leave your phone at home. You turn off your phone, pick up 3 of your buddies in your Chinese EV and drive to the base/airport/sea port. Dozens of people do this and by seeing the pattern China knows that a bunch of armed forces are being told to quietly deploy.

A less dramatic example might be figuring out where politicians are by knowing where their employees are.
