In a world where everyone else in an NPC, everything lines up to prevent me from getting the nice thing I want within a short time of saving, yet again.

Y’all I don’t think this is the good place, and it sure ain’t earth

Department of Government Efficiency is the name of the department that ends up involved in creating Soylent green or some crazy human organ harvesting thing.

This sets off all sorts of red flags that bother the shit out of me. Like I’ll take boring dystopia over human slaughterhouses TYVM

You haven’t seen Tenet? Boi, lemme introduce you to one of my favorite movies of all time.

People can crap on it all they want but when you rewind it to check what you already saw happen again your brain gonna be like “oh holy shit I need to see that AGAIN!”

Sorry. I really like Tenet.

Yeah my management was all gungho about exploiting AI to do all sorts of stuff.

Like read. Not generative AI crap, but read. They came to us and said quite literally: “how can we use something like ChatGPT and make it read.”

I don’t know who or how they convinced them to use something that wasn’t generative AI, but it did convince me that managers think someone being convincing and confident is correct all the time.

We don’t! That’s the best part about having a country full of idgafologists and sociopaths.

The answer is Guns, and more guns.

But people seem to not understand how fucking outgunned the population is versus the military.

I always hear a different story. One side says the soldier/airman/sailor/(are Marines just grunts?) is supposed to carry out all lawful orders by their superior, and the other is to protect the constitution.

National Guard and Coast Guard aside (which are technically state militaries, but Congress has recently given the President to authority to Federalize them without the governor consenting), it seems to me that one of the things a service member should have learned was that the military cannot operate domestically.

Now, I’ve met some smart officers, and some really dumb officers, and a lot of… People who survived enlistment and they all swear up and down that the reality comes to what happens when a gun is pressed against your head. Do you die for your country (as is your job) or do you commit treason risking that punishment in the future.

I like to imagine there’s a super top secret elite of the elite who are basically selected because at some point faced with that question and they take the bullet and become involved with an organization like Tenet.

OH OH OH OH IVE SEEN THIS ONE!!!

NEXT THEY’RE GONNA REVEAL VAULT PROGRAMS!!!

Yeah that ain’t a home, that’s a breeding facility.

Fucking weird. Like straight out of Game of Thrones where that one dude was in one house with all the girls and sacrificed the boys

Yeeesh

Would it though? I mean like the sex doll thing is still taboo, something about enabling predation or something (which doesn’t make a whole lot of sense considering they are basically rubber manikins and we don’t label manikin displays as slave labor in stores… But maybe we should?)

Idk. It would at least keep the horny at bay, at least those that could afford it.

Physiologically it means that abstinence produces stress.

So yes, there are physiological differences, even if they arent measurable on the short term but instead of the long term.

Oh I’m really good at the listening part.

I don’t like the talking part. That’s the part I’m not good at. Or likely will ever be, which is ok. It’s scary.

be polite

oh thank god!

Learn how to communicate

4B doesn’t sound like a bad idea to me

Asexuality doesn’t have the desire for sex.

This is abstinence for those that would like to have sex but don’t feel safe.

You know what just dawned on me

These guys essentially want sex dolls that can do chores. Sex dolls are way cheaper to take care of and they’ll learn to do chores themselves hiding it from everyone else lol

No, they won’t. But then the men affected will complain to other single men, and those of us that agree with 4B can say “yeah, it sucks, but how many guys have you stood up to and said ‘knock it off’”.

I guarantee the number is small.

I say good for them. Go for it. Dating is too stressful for me anyway.

But I’m also a 30+ progressive with a son and ex so I also recognize that there are bigger fish to fry than getting laid.

That almost sounds like you are blaming LBJ. Nixon was the one who caused the 1970 economic disaster that led to everything after. He ended the gold Standard and gave unfettered power to banks. Inflation was the goal as inflation directly benefitted real estate. The owner class became obscenely rich quickly, and it never stopped.

Oh I haven’t played that in a while. Looks like a bunch of updates

That I didn’t know. Does that mean that the benefit from it just comes from drinking the insane amount of water it recommends?

We’re all simply traitors for being on this site.

We’re traitors for having Signal installed.

We’re traitors for voting against him.

We’re traitors for deleting twitter, and Facebook.

We’re traitors for being a registered Democrat.

We’re traitors for supporting the rights of LGBTQ and minoties.

We’re traitors because we dissent.

If the above is what constitutes a traitor, I’d rather die a traitor than participate in any support of the harm they will do.

I’d rather not die of course.
