Did you just use an interrobang organically in a sentence? That’s a first.
The endgame is extermination, always has been.
What kind(s) of cheese?
Can you imagine how heavy one of those would be at full scale?
No it’s not, it halves the number of wrongs.
IDK why people are downvoting you, that’s essentially how it works. Everything is super interconnected now, but it wasn’t always that way and the constitution hasn’t been updated to reflect it.
He made a bet that he could win and instead he lost. He’s not a moron, he’s just too eager and played his hand early. Never underestimate a fascist.
Holy shit you’re insufferable
English can be difficult for western Europeans because it is the mutant child of both Germanic and Latin based languages that picks and chooses which words and rules to use at random.
Nothing
Connect is a mobile app for Lemmy. That is quite a nice stick.
I have you tagged on Connect as “ask about the stick”, and so now I must ask, about the stick?
Oh there is absolutely poverty. I’m specifically referencing what the commenter above me was discussing, which is a trend on social media of finding a bad area of town, taking pictures from 40 different angles, and presenting it as though American cities are nothing but miles upon miles of tent encampments and despair. I will admit I have only ever lived in the rust belt, so it may very well be like that in other places, but in general you see one or two small areas of extreme poverty mixed with working class, a few rough-ish neighborhoods adjacent to those, and the rest is pretty quiet, if not always the most affluent. By your description, it sounds like Chinese law enforcement keeps closer tabs on people through mass surveillance rather than active patrolling. Personally I’d rather have more crime and fewer government CCTVs, but to each their own.
Propaganda. Every city has one or two neighborhoods (usually full of working class minorities) where police dump the homeless and addicts from everywhere else. Each of those areas has one or two particularly bad streets that look like shit and make for great fear mongering.
There’s an important distinction to be made between rednecks and hillbillies. The south would like you toe believe that anything non-urban is redneck, this is not so.
It Can’t Happen Here by Sinclair Lewis
Read it this summer and it instantly became a keeper.
Fair enough, if you end up going that way anyhow, it might be worth taking route 7 along the river. It’s minimal Ohio and a very pretty drive.
Right. That food needs to be produced in a physical location, made from ingredients produced and stored in physical locations. Anything you buy needs to be stored somewhere at least temporarily, and unless you plan on having deliveries made by people in their personal vehicles, the trucks that transport said goods need to be stored and maintained in physical locations too. I think you may be overestimating the number of businesses that are purely digital.
