If you can afford it, there is always the vaccines from other countries. It’s fucked up that it’s come to this and there’s even more of a price tag on health.

Surely this will decrease food prices /s

So then don’t carry flour and rice, go with pemmican or something similar, high protein, high caloric, high density food.

A brick of pemmican is better than nothing, which is what they currently have.

They’re fascists, they always have an excuse. They can and did attack them under the excuse of the blockade.

I know it’s stupid, but I have this nagging thought that they should use a narco sub next time.

Almost certainly. But that doesn’t make it less fucked.

I knew it was going to be bad, but fuck that comment section is radioactive.

I know its unlikely, but I hope they make another attempt and it’s successful.

In an ideal world, starlink should be internationalized by the U.N.

We don’t need half a dozen companies in every developed nation putting their own garbage in orbit just to provide rural internet for a minority of a minority of the planet. Those systems are in orbit, they can provide internet to the overwhelming majority of humans.

But instead we’re gonna fuck up our ability to use a load of space telescopes needed to help see potentially dangerous asteroids, and all these satellites burning up in orbit are gonna fuck up the atmosphere, opening up the hole in the ozone layer even more.

It dying is better than it being in the hands of a billionaire fascist.

Then don’t reimburse him.

Ignoring the lack of evidence or argument presented here for that, I’d rather take a slowdown than Musk get a single new dollar.

IDK LGTM

One of the currently open ones is this one:

Hilarious

It’s already got 4 PRs

lol

They wouldn’t be able to finish stealing that car before a thousand hungry lawyers ate them alive. Why do we let media companies do that?

They would probably actually have a decent shot at getting away with it, at least at first.

And to answer your question, it’s because the anger that companies generate by doing this shit ends up turning into piracy. Why would you try to punish a corp for doing this (likely wasting your time) when a cheap VPN and basic tech literacy gets you what you want?

The effort ratios are way out of wack when it comes to digital products. It’s easy to get around digital bullshitery, not so much in the real world where we are all car dependant.

That, and a land tax

And for those that are able to keep to just one subscription, switching to another when they’ve finished watching whatever show it is that said service had, they aren’t safe either.

One of the next steps that these corporations are going to take is to add fees for dropping their services, with year long contracts.

They don’t want competition, so they will try to force you to stay.

Go for it. It was already an old, long dead meme when I posted it here.

This but corps
