And StarLink!

Lol after “WTF” my brain also immediately jumps there when encountering unfamiliar acronyms with a huge letter F. XD

Ah, thank you for clarifying that! I had a guess it was somewhere in that neighborhood but I hadn’t seen it in use before. Now I know.

Sorry I’ve never heard of IOF before. Is that another faction now? I’m guessing it’s not my first instinctual guess “Internet of Fascists” lol.

Finding one that would want to take us at this point seems like the bigger challenge. :(

I particularly laughed at “They’ll be paying lots of taxes.”

One can be both! Oh wait…I’ve just been informed the tanks are on hella backorder. :)

I’m right there with you. I try to grab important or favorite videos while I can to stash on my server for future enjoyment, and I run extensions that block the recommendation feed, ad block, as well as anti-clickbalt (shows random thumbnail from middle of video) when I do use it.

That algorithm is POWERFUL. Blocking the front page and “more like this” or whatever feeds has cut down on my rabbit hole stumbling almost entirely. (I’ll occasionally disable it to find new stuff)

I notice so much of it anymore is just content farming, stuff that exists only in the context of the content business, generating views and courting sponsors. Even though it can be entertaining still, it feels empty.

Genuine human expression is increasingly hard to find on that platform. I mostly use it for those ultra long music playlists and art and game dev stuff. Gotta be careful there too though! So many people are just wannabe gurus selling unattainable saccharine pipe dream lifestyles instead of actually doing the work.

I also donate a fair bit to a creative focused PeerTube instance for my short videos.

This sounds neat! Any recommendations? :)

Man the Sentinelese are gonna be pissed when they learn about this.

…pointed out that it would take many years of consistent tariffs to generate that kind of interest and investment…

That’s the scary thing. Citrus-Hitler assumes he’s gonna have himself and his policies in place for “many years of consistent tariffs.”

I mean you could fuck other Americans

This is officially American policy at this point.

At this point I’m quickly getting to the “…rebellion becomes duty” phase on this issue. Everything is getting so unreasonable.

I’m also just worried about getting served because I forgot to turn on an obfuscation service or something lol…

But what if their primary purpose is…

🏉 FEWTBHAWWWLLL!!! 🏈

… education might just be an accidental side effect…

Rome fiddled while Tesla burned. :)

Thank god, ol’ smarty Musky built a tunnel with no safety features for all those Teslas.

You. Could. Not. Pay me…To get into that stupid friggin’ tunnel. How on earth did that thing actually get built?!

The flooding potential is bad enough, but otherwise, it’s not a matter of “if” people are gonna die horribly of fire or toxic inhalation in a confined concrete space with no escape, it’s absolutely “when.”

He along with others discovered the cure for fascism.

One such cure makes an exceptionally satisfying “PING!” after every 8th dose administered.

I’m guessing they mean catching dealerships setting their own vehicles ablaze to claim insurance money.

I don’t see that happening really though, sadly in my locale, these stupid jellybean caskets are selling and there’s more clogging up the roads by the day.

…but investigators are exploring multiple causes, including arson.

I think it’s quite telling that they’re likely considering the strong possibility that these wonderous marvels of cost-cutting may have just spontaneously lit themselves ablaze without help, at rest, in a parking lot.

For a majority of other vehicles, that’d be an absurd conclusion. But Teslas contain a baffling amount of greed-motivated engineering and numerous fire incidents. It isn’t talked about enough and I see more of these things by the day. There has to be some kind of “reputation management” going on.

Either way, ::: spoiler remember kids! If you see someone setting an unoccupied swastikar ablaze… No you didn’t. :::
