Ok I'll admit it, I'm only learning Russian so I can better pirate games and other software. Digital scarcity isn't real
Yup, there's a reason my /tg days are far behind me. It was an ok place to find obscure rulebook pdfs but God damn is it infested with the worst bigots
Or they would be using their security clearance to 
It's all performative, if they actually gave a shit they wouldn't be facilitating it by working AT THE FUCKING WHITE HOUSE
Okay as a colourblind person what the fuck is "blurple"!? Isn't purple with blue added just a different shade of purple!? Or indigo (whatever the fuck that is)? Anything beyond red orange yellow green blue purple (fuck indigo/violet) is made up
Their method actually does make sense, you just have to remember they aren't cops to solve (boring) crimes like petty theft. Why get it done as efficiently as possible when you can milk it for hours of overtime? 12 hours of footage means 6+ hours of overtime even watching it at x2 speed, and it's the kind of thing you can basically have going on in the background. Cops being willfully ignorant for their own benefit makes sense to me
Google is declared "too big to fail" and get a multi-million dollar bailout
I'm only half joking when I credit caffeine and cannabis for helping me dodge covid all this time (that I know of, I might've had an asymptomatic case but every time I've gotten tested it's been negative). Of course masking and living like a hermit even before covid kicked off definitely helps, but I'll take the excuse to indulge in my favourite vices
Fun facts, back in the day people would often move their entire camps to the site of a moose kill rather than trying to transport the body any distance, it was easier to pack up and move everyone than drag a moose through the forest and brush
Yea, probably some drek about how he forgot to include human nature in his calculations. No comrade Sheldon for us I guess
Wait, so canonically Sheldon is a communist? 
But wait, there's more! There's also been a push to open it up to "mature minors" who make other decisions related to their medical care. There's reasons I've been calling this a modern take on the Aktion T4 program. It's only a matter of time before they start the open "involuntarily euthanasia" (murder) of the mentally ill, physically disabled, homeless, and any other "undesirables". All under the guise of humanitarian compassion.
Al Jazeera, Telasur, and CBC for the most part, though no where is perfect and all have their blindspots/weaker areas. Plus a bunch of assorted other sources on a lesser basis (BBC, guardian, independent, fox if I want a peek into 
brain) and hexbear news megas of course
Oh it gets worse, they've tried to open it up to those suffering from mental illness/depression and I believe they're planning on re-introducing it in 2024.
As someone who struggles with depression, this is terrifying. Just the thought of seeking out help from a medical professional and their response being "have you considered killing yourself?" really discourages me from having an open, honest conversation with my healthcare provider.
Oh that's easy, just hit alt f4 while you have the instance open! Hope this helps!
There's no such thing as consentual work under capitalism, let alone consentual sex work. You can't consent to something if it's under duress, and capitalism comes with the inherent threat of starvation, homelessness, and all the hardships that come from not having the means to pay for food, housing, healthcare, etc.
This does not mean it shouldn't be decriminalized (for the actual sex workers, pimps/pimping should obviously be illegal, and I think johns should probably see some penalties) since making it illegal to practice sex work just makes it all thw more dangerous for those who are forced to do such work.
In the future under socialism I don't see it being nearly as widespread as it is now. I just have a hard time seeing many people making the decision to undertake such work if they aren't under the stress of having to purchase food, make rent, pay for healthcare/schooling/childcare/etc
You forget that paper is from the mid-80s. I don't understand why people think they just stopped replacing birds. The authors of that paper based it all on declassified documents that were almost 30 years old even then! If anything the government just got better at hiding what they were doing, mark my words in another couple decades it'll come out that it's not only the pigeons and starlings that have been replaced but also robins, seagulls, and a variety songbirds!
This is clearly just a limited hangout so they can say "look at how crude our taxidermy robots are! This totally proves birds are real!"
The government wants you to believe they aren't capable of creating the omnipresent surveillance network that are so-called "birds". We've been under this surveillance since the early 60s when the government avian extermination program was in full swing. Why else do you think they were so gung-ho about DDT? It helped provide smokescreen for the avian replacement system experiment. Wake up, Birds Aren't Real
