  • Like. I get it. China is absolutely an authoritarian state. But it also isn’t coming apart at the fucking seams, really seems to have its shit together, and offers a very good quality of life if you make enough money, from what I’ve heard.

    It isn’t a glittering wonderland or anything but you’re not going to be deported for no fucking reason if you’re an expert in your field (unless you get on the wrong side of the government).

    The USA is coming apart at the seams. It isn’t just authoritarianism, it’s ineptitude and implosion. They’re totally different situations.







  • At one point I had ounces of dried mushrooms with desiccant in jars in my freezers that sat there for a year. I don’t like taking mushrooms anymore so they just sat there until I started a new job and just gave them away to pretty much the whole sales team.

    One day a new hire came up to em and was like: are you the guy that’s giving away feee mushrooms? I was like: sure man, how much you want?

    They cleaned me out in like a month ahahahha.



  • Realistically if a foreign threat actor wanted to infiltrate virtually everyone’s devices and one day just ruin fucking everyone’s pcs and phones, unless they were caught there is fuck all that would be done about you.

    Any civilian with could walk into a police station with hard evidence of this happening and then be laughed out at best, or at worst detained for psychiatric investigation because the police are fucking idiots.

    They could contact intelligence services who would dismiss it out of hand as some kind of psychotic delusion.

    Infrastructure may be a simpler target to hit relatively speaking but the utter lack of knowledge most people have to defend themselves against cyberattacks, the opaque, business/government-facing nature of the cybersecurity industry, and the profound ignorance that most people have regarding how their devices work and what exactly is at stake, is, imo, a major fucking problem waiting to happen.










  • I play Epstein’s island and tap that and three swamps to create four child tokens which I sacrifice to Donald Trump: child rapist giving it +4+0 and unblockable by white creatures until end of turn, and then I tap one blue mana to use Donald Trump: Child rapist’s ability above the law, which gives Donald Trump: child rapist flying until end of turn, and if an opponent takes fame from Donald Trump: Child Rapist, create one child token for each damage caused by Donald Trump: child rapist. I swing for four. You take four damage. Pass the turn.
