I suspect an offense against the USA would be easy to pull off. The low standards of ICE and the nature of their operation would allow just about any organized actor to have a free hand in the US, if they chose to do so.

Wouldn’t surprise me if the Trump Regime deploys bioweapons, and everybody else scrambling to develop counteragents.

Use a VPN and be Vietnamese. They are rolling out a law against unskippable ads, IIRC.

I hope Mamdani and friends oppose this piece of shit. It exists to erase sexuality that doesn’t belong to the straight white dude, alongside filling the pockets of the wealthy by watching our every move.

I hope that Valve is doing this in the backstage. If they teamed up with the EU, Canada, Brazil, and Japan, they could establish a pretty large global network for neutral transactions. Just a 1% fee, and extend the service to all platforms willing to use it, such as DLSite or OnlyFans. With that sort of backing, Valve can penetrate the American market. Especially if the transaction fees are waived for the first year after launching, with a pre-order phase for getting merchants ready for adding SteamPay to their transaction options.

I think that ICE will be sent information about children, and then they will ship the good looking kids to the highest bidder.

I hope this becomes a slasher film of the Epstein Class.

I want copyright to go extinct. It has no place in a proper civilization.

The Onion just can’t compete.

Personally, I am guessing that the topic of work is considered a safe subject of one’s existence. Most folks probably don’t relate to each other, considering the breadth of hobbies and interests people have. I like Fantasy Maiden Wars, prefer UC Gundam without Newtype woo, and enjoy reading hentai manga. Methinks most people would be irritated, disinterested, or horrified by my existence.

We don’t live in a world of local isolation. We can absorb cultures and ideas far from home, by choice, instead of being dyed by the people who live nearby. This is good and bad: we have the freedom to become our truer selves, but that also means we aren’t forced to become incidental friends with people in meatspace.

Why is this person only being given a life sentence, instead of death? I can’t imagine a rapist being someone we ever want as a member of society.

I hope Brian McGinnis wins the North Carolina senate seat he is running for. Seems like the type of person who intends to do good.

His opposite number, Tim Sheehy, deserves a prison cell.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Discord’s face identification is used to find good looking kids, and then messages ICE to arrange shipment to an island.

Because I want a 800lb gorilla to perpetually support my gaming distro, working Nvidia drivers, have enough freedom to use mods and whatnot, documentation suitable for people who aren’t terminal-brained, and so forth. Valve is the kind of company that can tick these boxes, simply through sheer inertia.

I tried Mint back in early 2025. It wasn’t quite right for my purposes, so I wanted to wait for something friendlier. Just because I can do stuff if I put in elbow grease, doesn’t mean that I want to be an expert at fiddling with penguins.

Hopefully, SteamOS Desktop will be in the wild and shaked off any teething issues. I want to switch to an OS that is suitable for a power-casual. If it looks like a 2nd American Civil War or WW3 is on, I might switch early to Cachy.

Someday, in Bondi’s voice: “IT IS UNDER 9,000!”

I am hoping a carrier is sunk. Everybody lives, but a huge hole in the thing and all the planes go with it. America is in desperate need of a kick to the nuts. Without that, America will continue to be a drunken bully.

They would all be blond little girls. The Bondi Youths.

As ever with this regime, I am not sure if sarcasm won’t reflect reality.

The stock market as it is currently structured, shouldn’t exist. It is ripe with corruption and perverse incentives. IMO, a stock market should serve the purpose of allowing society to judge whether a company is making good moves over a medium or long timespan, which in turn allow companies to judge the practical value of partnerships or exchanges with other corporations.

I have concepts for UBI, and how income can work. Part of that is absolute caps on liquid wealth and assets, with company stocks being towards the asset cap. Ownership of stock takes away from one’s capacity to have a house, car, yacht, and so forth. The idea is that people initially invest in stocks to build up their money reserves, then get rid of the stocks and invest into their personal living conditions. This shifts the stocks to younger workers, who then build up their future. Each piece of stock costs a set amount, has a guaranteed ROI provided by the company, and can’t be sold off for profit until a certain time has passed. That way, people have to choose their stocks carefully, as they will be holding onto them for awhile. The more valuable a single piece of stock is, the longer it has to be held. Bigger ROI is paired with the expensive stocks, but you have to put up more money upfront, and the biggest stocks take years to mature before you can sell it on the market or return it to the company. Stocks can only be sold to citizens of the nation, to prevent foreign manipulation of the economy, and to help prevent loopholes.

Mind, if that is too complicated or can be gamed, simply banning stocks would be preferable. Corruption is the killer of civilization, if the last decade is anything to go by.

We can change them. Into worm food.
