Another datapoint that this is part of a greater uniparty theatre to push the financial reset through energy shortage and famine.
@beardalaxy This makes zero sense. I thought the Lylat System was in the center of our galaxy, thus in our universe, but this film has Mario traveling the Mushroom Universe, so he shouldn't be able to encounter Fox.
I think it was an intentional long-con. The hard-left/hard-right are like a quarter of the population or less. There are way more independent/libertarian/whatever in the middle. There are plenty of people who don't want Iraq Part II: The Iran Boogaloo. But fuck if they're going to stand next to pro-Biden people who want to allow hormones put in kids and mandatory experimental medication. On the other side, those people don't want "nazis" and "fascists" at their anti-war rallies either.
2016~2020 was one of the largest MKUltra-style experiments ever carried out against the world population. Even people who stand together against war can no longer stand together because of literally everything else.
The psyche of the world has been fragmented. It's a form of collective trauma that's separated the population in absolutist and totalist terms.
Think of the children nutters just won their first lawsuit against Facebook for not 'doing enough' to protect children (as if they had ANY obligation to do so in the first place!):
If you think Facebook is so dangerous because of a few bad apples then don't hand your kid an internet connected device and point them at Facebook. I've been on the internet since the internet came into existence and there have ALWAYS been bad apples on it. In fact BEFORE the internet there were also bad apples in the real world, on the school playground, and on BBSs.
The threat of the internet on children is so over exaggerated. While it's undoubtedly true you can setup fake 'child profiles' and get predators to send you inappropriate materials/messages and so on... it's hardly the typical experience. Minors are far more likely to get bullied by PEOPLE THEY ACTUALLY know from the offline when going online than be sexually harassed by the equivalent of creepy men driving 5 mph in white trucks without windows.
Statistically it's dad, mom, or someone in the family that's going to sexually abuse a child, not some creepy person on the internet.
And if the concern is algorithms... that's just pure fear mongering. There use to be this thing called parenting. If your kid was spending too much time watching TV you click the off button on the TV and told them to go play outside.
I hate to break it to you psychos who think it's always someone else's problem... but you can still tell a child no. You can still choose not to give your [at least actual children, teens will undoubtedly get around your stupid control freak parenting] 10 year old a cell phone.
To the 20 year old 'victim' take responsibility for your own choices, your 20 for christ sake.

Fyi, I'm now accepting guest posts for the Libre Solutions Network moving forward.
Added an explosion animation for the boss when killed.

GrapheneOS Defies Age Verification Surveillance Laws, Vowing to Protect User Privacy Worldwide

1/3 of Bluesky users delete their account. In a way, the same thing that played out in the political side of fedi plays out there daily.
The difference is with blocks and lists, everyone is at each other's throat and then posting a post asking "what the fuck, why are we at each others throat". I've seen how miserable it is checking up on someone you know and seeing how their TL is literally just an endless stream of "Dad, it's over bro". It's genuinely the worst place to talk about stuff.
Something else funny is how radicalized Bluesky users get. At least on Twitter you can smash like and "not interested" enough time and get some esoteric VINTAGE RETRO AESTHETICS and furry art on your TL.
On Bluesky, you can mark you're interested in that and get pumped 20+ posts about Trump, Elon Musk, the latest thing in the 15 minute news cycle, here's a bad thing, before getting to the meat and potatoes.
