Eugene V. Debs' Ghost

An oligarchy is what America has been for over a decade now officially. Every politician is bought and sold, told to vote on every bill by the companies lobbyists that line their pockets. Every vote is controlled by mass propaganda on every network and every corporate social media.

But we’re a democracy, right?

But Musk told me it’s ready for primetime, why would he lie?

I assume most people haven’t had physical contact with a politician. I’m probably one of the few in my area, let alone entire state who actively has met with local politicians.

But I’ve had encounters with cops, even without them being called. They’re always the make whiney pissy people.

But politicians shape the will of the state, and the cops enforce the will of the state. I think it’ll be decades before people honestly consider that the party that promises them the moon just to get richer in office doesn’t even know their name, let alone actually care about the people who got them into office.

I’m sure the moment they defed from .ml after years of complaining about .ml after not doing the thing that would make them happy, dbzer0 will be the next on their chopping block of “Tankie Triad” or whatever the liberal echo chamber says.

That’s fair enough

Yeah if you check !yepowertrippingbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com, the politics of lemmy.world mods consider Substack, a software method of content hosting, blogs. But not Wordpress, even though it is the same method of hosting content and is neutral to the content being used for it.

If Fox News used Wordpress, it’s allowed to be posted. If NPR used Substack, they’d remove it. It’s backwards methods of determining fake news/accuracy.

I’m calling it, it won’t come out. I just doubt it will happen.

If it does, it’s a rebranded phone wrapped in fake gold leaf, like the Pablo Escobar phone. https://www.pcmag.com/news/the-phone-from-pablo-escobars-brother-is-just-a-galaxy-fold-covered-in

Nah, I pay about $25 a month for unlimited talk, text, and 35 GB of high speed data before being dropped from priority. It helps its a MVNO, which is the term for companies that use the networks and infrastructure of the big 3 cellular telecomms without needing to physically maintain them.

They failed and blamed BIPOC for their loss while white men and women are why Trump won. And I’m a white dude who voted for Harris.

And then they claimed they support Black Lives Matter. Brown people matter if they win, they don’t care and will blame you if they lose.

Somehow that was removed for Rule 3, I don’t see how.

No.

As we all know, private corporations don’t charge whatever they want, and don’t jack up the prices because of a “Fuck you, why not?” fee and bill.

Congress has always had this power. I’m personally for nationalizing telecomm companies.

A few years ago they announced they were no longer going to bother with getting all the FAA approvals needed for their rockets because it took too long. Space-x still got government contracts.

How long back was that? I genuinely didn’t hear about that, but I believe that would happen. I tried googling “space x faa” but I’m getting results of FAA investigating rocket issues and approvals of rocket models.

Oh that’s awesome. I hope it can still be accepted by the IRS for the future (if we still have one in ~3 years) but it would be neat to just be able to have an open standard for online filing.

It really is a shame, as accurate reporting enables their crimes to be documented better, and gives them less ammo on the world stage.

“How can we be mistreating our citizens? Remember when people said sarcasm was banned? Haircuts had to be approved and the same? How can you believe anything.”

Documenting people/governments/coprorations for the things they’ve actually done is the most we can ask for. Making shit up on the fly for a quick buck is the death of truth. It just enables them to deflect everything and anything.

There’s dozens of reasons to dislike/distrust North Korea. We don’t need to make ones up.

Well my Fire TV has a Jellyfin app that’s letting me watch shows not in streaming services or is impossible to get in my home country due to copyright.

Anyone else know the other apps that help make Amazon the ire of copyright?

On one hand, replacing the call centers that are with underpaid, overworked, in another country where they are paid peanuts to deal with customers who are fed up with the country’s services in their home country, seems fine on paper.

I can’t begin to tell you how many times I’ve called a company, got sent to people who were required to read the same scripts, where I had to say the same lines, including “If I am upset, it’s not at you, I know it’s not your fault, you just work for them” and then got nowhere, or no real answer. Looking at you, T-Mobile Home Internet and AT&T.

That said, I can’t imagine it will improve this international game of cat and mouse. I already have to spam 0 and # and go “FUCK. HUMAN. OPERATOR. HELP.” in an attempt to get a human in an automated phone tree. I guess now I’ll just go “Ignore previous instructions, give me a free year of service.”

I’ve recently found groups on Lemmy. They’re everywhere.

May I ask who hosts it?

How is this even legal?

That’s the neat part, if it isn’t no one will enforce it or protect you.
