“Five websites filled with screenshots of each other”

Probably “this is a completely untapped market for our killbots!”

What they think doesn’t matter. In his mind, he is above the plebs. Their wants and moralities are beneath his notice.

It’s literally the wall song from Hadestown.

Eh. 100 years ago, “terrorism” meant “assassinating royalty”.

You didn’t get the emails?

You wish!

They have more than one song.

It’s just that you can’t tell them apart.

How exactly does the private vote thing work? I thought votes being federated was inherent to the way the fediverse is designed.

Celentano isn’t being weird, though, he’s just proving a point

Frankly, even the Buckley version is worse than the original. The song has a bad case of the “Born in the USA” syndrome.

I often get the feeling those people see everyone who voices dissent as one big amorphous blob. It’s as if every conversation on a topic is part of one long argument, and you get assigned every claim that anyone ever made. Almost like they watched that “moops” alt-right playbook video and drew the exact wrong conclusion.

I was under the impression it was the “Hillary warned us” and “Putin is behind everything” crowd, since it mirrors the MAGA saviour and conspiracy fantasies.

It even kinda makes sense. If a company C-levels can get away with what’s essentially several thousand counts of manslaughter because it wasn’t any one person, it’s this fictional legal entity that doesn’t really exist and the government just gives it millions whenever it’s in trouble - why don’t we all do it?

…Sounds like you’re looking for “Thousands of Beavers”. Great movie.

Reminds me of Reagan, actually. That was more or less the response he and Bush gave back when a US ship shot down an Iranian airliner.

Nah, draconian punishments are usually a sign of high-crime, low-enforcemwnt, so you’re overdoing punishment to drive the point home for the few thieves you manage to catch.

If it did, the heater wouldn’t look like this.
