  • it’s not a corporation. in order to have a corporation you must first have cooperation.

    we’re slowly turning into a plutocratic republic.

    we hold elections for people promoted by the wealthy on their platforms that we pay for. our choices haven’t been our choices since at least the 1990s.

    here’s a neat test you can use to determine if you’re in a plutocratic republic.

    how many Democratic candidates are running for POTUS?

    now, how many Republican candidates are running for POTUS?

    !if you said one of each, believe it or not, you’re in a plutocratic republic!

    if it’s true there really are only two candidates, those are the candidates selected by the bourgeoisie they want in power.

    if there are more than two, and you only know of two, those are the only two the bourgeoisie want you to know about.!<



  • you take it out of context. white as in “pumpkin spice latte”.

    that psychopath was the definition of “angry racist white dude with a gun”.

    on top of it all, the crime was racially motivated because he showed up to a BLM protest with an assault gun.

    if he had been there to support the protest, he would have come unarmed. but he didn’t, did he? he went there to murder innocent civilians.

    In another text, Rittenhouse sent: “I wish they would come into my house,” adding, “I will fucking murder them.”

    in summary, he is a white racist irredeemable piece of shit that deserves life in prison where he can be a nice prison wife, because even the Nazis in prison would make him their weak ass bitch.







  • the government does, and what they do with it is harshly regulated.

    the TSA is part of DHS but operates outside of DHS and can do whatever it wants with your information if you give it freely. it’s one of the reasons how that facial recognition apparatus works. it was developed by a contractor to USDOD and delivered to DHS for the TSA to use on the public.

    DHS cannot investigate the general public without probable cause, TSA can. so what information they gleam from the general public is then shared with DHS, DOD, and sold back to the contractor as a part of the delivered contract. what they do with it afterwards is entirely up to them.

    both accepting and rejecting the scan is harmful to your privacy. by accepting you are now indexed in a database and that information can be used in multiple government sanctioned investigations. by rejecting it, you are flagged as a concern and your profile is then processed through and algorithm to identify your threat level.

    the TSA are doing more than just looking at your passport when you reject. they’re waiting on that threat level response to identify if you should be taken for further questioning.





  • I didn’t need help when I went to college. these lazy kids just need to get a paper route for the summer to pay for a semester or two. it couldn’t cost more than a couple hundred bucks for books and classes”

    what you did over your 25 year long career is irrelevant to what current people are going through. the rest of this is a rant on “boomer” mentality. I’m an xer myself, just sick of people perpetuating the broken ideals of the most spoiled generation.

    !

    I’ve been in IT just as long but in the last 10 years I have been asked to learn the following under threat of becoming “irrelevant”; cloud computing, big data analysis, cryptographic signing and tracking of data, machine learning, and the most recent artificial intelligence.

    how the fuck are we supposed to keep up with this and maintain our family/home and maintain friendships and maintain our sanity all while juggling the roles and responsibilities weighing us down at work.

    in 2021 I worked over 3200 hours in the year. that’s double 8s almost every single day. part of that time was training time I was forced to comply with to make sure “the company remains competitive.” it also doesn’t include the 16 hours of training over the weekends that I couldn’t claim because, “if you can’t perform the responsibilities given to you within office hours provided then perhaps you should work from the office under supervision.” I think we all know what that meant. want to know what I did with all that training? I’ll let you know as soon as I use it.

    point is, the world got fucked up, and greedy pieces of shit at the top make the smaller greedy pieces of shit greed harder, and so forth. when will it be enough? when can we stop working on frivolous bullshit that’s going to be dropped and abandoned when “the next big thing” shows up? when can we start building shit that matters so much that we can’t just abandon it?

    so, what’s this got to do with YT? if I could have watched 200 hours of training videos for free online instead of taking multiple courses, homework, tests, etc; I could spent more time with my kids, or hobbies, or doing whatever the fuck I want. instead, I was stuck doing busywork for some other assholes bonus.
