It's weird that they would name it like thunderbird

They do want to do it, they just need to be able to justify it logicially.

What is the point of letting in immigrants if they won't have jobs.

okay, so the lack of robots/supply increases garbage collector wages, which broadly results in wealth distribution vs robots.

It's more of a DEI/Jobs program

If it's a crime to jog on railroad tracks, and the avalibility of rail makes it so that everything you need is only accessible by rail, I conclude that rail prevents you from jogging.

I think fuentes' theory holds merit: It's that in running for re-election trump was trying to avoid prison, so he was desparately looking for approval from many disparate and conflicting interest groups (some anti-war, some anti-immigration, some pro-immigration) one of which was pro-zionist. So not so much the epstien files but more just impending criminal charges in general (The epstien conspiracy voters were actually one of the interest groups trump wooed).

I also read an article here that suggested trump's bombing of iran during peace talks at the same time as israeli attacks established that if israel attacked then USA would also be a valid combatant (which wasn't the case previously). So this bombing of iran's nuclear facilities earlier was sort of a trap that made it so that israel could rope us into any conflict at any later time- which they did this time, they threatened to strike iran with or without us.

Lastly, I imagine that success in decapitating the venezuelan regime gave trump and his cabinet confidence in going to war.

This whole war seems good for israel but in the long term it doesn't really pan out in the long term for them either. It is sort of the cart leading the horse. There is a theory proposed by prof. Jiang (PredictiveHistory) that this war was catalyzed by a certain apocolyptic eschatology of jews/christians in a couple high places. Whether the Netanyahu or Trump adminstration is captured by this chohort or just pursing short term goals is hard to say, but this is the only explanation I can find for who benefits long-term from this action.

No because a phone, despite being made from the same parts as a computer is actually a completely different thing.

You can't just run programs on your phone. You have to run apps, which require approved by the government and the company that made the phone, which tacks on additional fees as well. The phone also has constant cellular/GPS/wifi/bt-mesh location tracking, and it can never be completely turned off by the user without destroying the phone because even the batteries are glued in.

It's basicially the perfect slave device for your average goy. And everyone will need one to to access your bank account, recieve insecure SMS authentication, talk to other NPCs, and generally participate in the neo-economy.

If you don't think this is right, you are literally going to empty the bank account of my dumb ass grandma who can't stop installing malware, and in every way is better served by a flip phone from the early 2000's.

The point of a social network, or blogging or whatever is that it's for others. Furthermore, I think people have the right to free speech and should have the ability to reasonably address the public square (for example, with a blog, or a forum or something).

What I'm saying in the previous comment is that regulations requiring "Age checks, encryption backdoors and other bad/annoying stuff" also apply to small hosts and can be abused like DMCA (unless you are hosting on tor/i2p with good opsec).

It's this notion that any regulation is good because it's done on a "big bad public company" that is at the heart of what I disagree with. At what point do you become a "big bad company"? Does anna's archive count? they accept donations. It just doesn't seem like a fleshed-out worldview.

Anyone will be able to lob legal complaints against your self-hosted mastodon instance if they don't like you, which will bring cops to your door like milkshake brings boys to the yard.

There are the openstreetmap mapping apps (OSMand, organic maps)

the capitalist complex is strongly intertwined with reality and power.

You have the choice to stick your head in the sand for a while and try to ignore it, but eventually your sand castle will get bulldozed by a group of people that don't.

Android auto works for me. For music I just use newpipe and an mp3 player.
