@realcaseyrollins I don't know if finger protocol supports images or not.

Social media would be so much better if there was no video or images. Text ony social media would likely be a lot better for society.

@ArdainianRight @Xenobot @SNEK @coolboymew @rlier23 For the love of God, is there anything about this series that isn't based to you guys?

@coolboymew I remember seeing that show very early in the morning. It already ended, but reruns were still on. The show always felt weird to me with the squiggle vision artstyle and improv voice acting.

Added a Game Over screen. Technically, it's been here for a while, but it was just red with no text.

The WHO is reading your text messages.
Your regular reminder that this has nothing to do with health, the surveillance and control is the goal.

The WHO Regional Office for the Western Pacific has taken steps to explore the role and potential of dark social communication for promoting health messages and reducing the spread of misleading information during and between influenza pandemics.

‘Dark social’ refers to internet traffic outside the scope of most analytical tracking. It describes people’s interaction and sharing activities on private channels such as messaging apps, email and text messages.

Super Mario Movie 

Oh yeah. Mario actually HATES mushrooms which doesn't make sense.

Super Mario Movie 

So I just saw the Super Mario Bros. Movie. I don't hate it but please don't take my word for it because I can't tell a bad movie from a good one, unless it's REALLY bad. But here are some comments (spoiler free but the movie is pretty predictable anyway):

* I wish they would've spend more time on the brother's backstory. This is one of the few times we actually see them in the "real world". You just see them fail one job and immediately end up in the Mushroom Kingdom.
* I don't get why people wanted Charles Martinet to voice Mario. That voice wouldn't work for someone speaking full sentences.
* Somehow Mario and Donkey Kong can communicate with each other and this movie pretty much ignores the Donkey Kong arcade game
* Not only are there Mario references but a TON of references to other Nintendo games if you look closely, but strangely there are no references to Zelda, at least from where I can tell
* Speaking of which, Mario is seen playing Kid Icarus on NES in his room. Strange that they pick such a relatively obscure Nintendo game

https://twitter.com/RokoMijic/status/1645486054474956800 This is actually one of the better AI apocalypse scenarios, as widespread internet outages and crashes due to runaway AI hacker farms could be disruptive enough to society to threaten Clown World and set back societal degeneration and runaway technology enough to get a handle on things while not being enough to totally destroy modern civilization and being something you could reasonably survive via prepping. While there are many different variants of AI fucking shit up, some you could prep for and many you can't, I think there's more than enough signs on many levels to make you want to have your bases covered for shit generically going down.

@galena I just wish they would stop strawmanning and hating us,

In an ancap society, your neighbors are free to voluntarily choose to form socialist or communist societies. In a socialist or ancom society, your neighbors are not allowed to voluntarily choose to engage in capitalism. This is why ancaps are real anarchists, and ancoms are not.
