Population plummet over the next 30-40 years

Literally nothing can stop it the population is much older than anyone realized just 5 years ago

Population collapse due to 20 years of local officials lying about births and school registrations out of fear of not meeting President Xi’s targets means far fewer consumers and less pollution

Just another reminder why I use Librewolf

Exactly same vibe as the MAGAs waiting for wokeness to crumble

What are you talking about?

Mugging followed by incarceration and deportation is a great travel story!

Be careful with words! INCAP, DECAP, so very similar!!

Same boat here. I still futz with my PinePhone but mostly as a portable music/video player.

Eagerly awaiting the rebirth of CalyxOS

If only some of my climate-change-denying, lifelong-GOP-voting relatives hadn’t died of hoax COVID, they might have lived to see this new evidence and updated their beliefs accordingly based on scientific Bayesian reasoning

LOL, jk. OFC if they had lived, they would be doubling down on religion, tribalism, and faith like all the other MAGA

True story. Dad, and an uncle. FML

your imaginary"capitalism”

I grok you’re angry. Please don’t take it out on me. I didn’t make any economic systems, real or imaginary.

capitalism as a system has always included that “statism”

When discussing abstract and slippery ideas it is really important to use words according to their precise meanings.

DDG LLM summarizing Studocu & Wikipedia:

Capitalism is an economic system characterized by private ownership of the means of production and minimal government intervention, focusing on profit and free market competition. In contrast, statism involves significant state control over economic activities, with the government owning key industries and regulating the economy extensively for collective welfare.

About my browsing history: this was for a novel I am writing about terrible terrible people who should never do that

Ballsy from a guy who concentrates economic decision making into his own cabinet. The word for that is statism not capitalism

I prefer the modern term “Trumpism”

Zillion… my first experience with a graphical puzzle world that seemed infinitely big.

Me and my little brother futzing with the “3d” glasses.

But mostly:

SURELY REVIVE ZANONI

Cruz is trying to cover his ass.

Great now I have the mental image of video taken by one of Epstein’s Kompromat Cameras, of a room with a freshly raped teen and Grandpa Munster doing his best to hide behind a towel

Well now it can use AI while it sends your ostensible Tor queries over the clearnet , and sells your demographic data despite promising not to do that

Good thing we have USAID and CDC, they’re the well-funded pros that for the last ~20 years always drop in whenever there are Ebola outbreaks in Africa, and help get the situation under control.

Indeed! I just went from pessimistic (prolly just signal jammers) to OMFG the situation on the ground is about to change

Charlie would have been very proud

privacy nightmare

If lots of random civilians are wearing them and training them on ICE/police/fascism then the privacy nightmare might run both ways. There are a lot fewer masked enforcers than civilians. And a lot more stochastic violence in the air.
