It’s just a mask at this point. As soon as all the public services are privatized, along with military, and elections can be bought, what is a government at that point? Where is the distinction if they’re all paid off by the same people? At this point it’s become a sport for the ultra-wealthy to just buy countries like a sports team. Trump is even wheeling and dealing to buy other countries, this is how shallow the meaning of nation has become. America: sponsored by Musk and Thiel.

Americans absolutely did not vote for this! You call an election where one man can pay out a quarter billion - legally - a fair election? Do you think 90% of Russians vote for Putin too? We’re cooked and getting more cooked. Point and laugh and act like this isn’t bad news for the world.
You act like it’s an America problem and not a billionaire problem. Where do you live that you think the same billionaires don’t own you too?
We need to transcend nations before we all die and a handful of oligarchs have power forever.
I just hope everyone is learning how easily your country can be owned and controlled by outside interest - if your country is filled with uneducated, incurious, and indoctrinated citizens. We have no one to blame but ourselves as we ask The Kremlin to take the wheel.
Bach feels like he composed music for the person playing the instrument, as much as for the people listening to it.
It has a lot going for it.
If there was more contrast on the face (so it’s less flat) and thicker eyelids (less white of the eyes as well or maybe they’re too uniformly white), I’d wager the face would “pop out” more.
It’s coming along nicely!
If you know how to sail the high seas and emulate things, Halo coop is easily my fave.
I was wondering… like, ok asshole, you go back 2,400 years ago and see what you can make besides a mess in your pants.
I bet Elon can buy this election for just 10-20 million.
Eventually that backfires hard. There are ways to measure the effectiveness of ads and bots don’t buy shit. The number one ad on reddit is “buy some ads, people love seeing and clicking on reddit ads!”
Reddit ads are terrible, no one clicks them, they all use clickbait post titles, and there’s more each day.
There was a smart way to monetize reddit, their choices make it clear what kind of people are making decisions at reddit.
This isn’t true, the duck is just much closer…
True, I forgot that I bought that myself. My mind went to XBox emulation because I’ve been messing around with it. It’d be interesting to hear a comparison between what runs smoother: Halo 1-4 emulated or through the MCC.
