So is there any evidence of that insane claim, or…?

What’s Cloudflare’s shit reputation? I thought they were the go-to service to prevent DDOSing.

I think the point is for you to meditate on that fact.

In other words: “You showing sadness or despair is making me feel bad so I demand you to stop. My feelings and convenience is more important than yours. I am totally not a narcissist”

I just now realized I was justifying a 196 meme with a serious response. I need to go touch grass

Okay, let me spell this out like you are a four year old then:

The claim is that the government has the power to stop abuse en masse and improve life for everyone, but doesn’t, because they benefit from it.

The NSA program (which has been well-known for over a decade) is an example of that.

I represented their arguments exactly as they were laid out and stipulated my position accurately.

LMFAO no you’re not; you’re going off on a completely different tangent about the system as a whole instead of addressing my main claim, specifically how domestic abuse is allowed in order to maintain it, and you’re doing it because you perceive any negative talk against the system as an existential threat to it.

You only address a claim literally everyone else on Lemmy makes: that corporations actively exploit and abuse their workers, and you label it as conspiracy shit.

And you do it because I’m right and you know it, people are realizing it, and that inconveniences and threatens you.

You are exactly the kind of motherfucker who keeps the slave racket going. Because fuck them kids. Fuck them abuse victims. You ordered your Big Mac five minutes ago and you want it NOW

This is just life in the slave racket. Abuse victims are denigrated, subjugated, and treated as the real threat to their community and not the abuser. They are treated like that because the society NEEDS most of its people to be abused and to tolerate it so they can be exploited throughout their lives without challenging their exploiters, or even worse, tearing down the system that benefits the oppressors.

Abuse victims who actively rebel or who try to help other victims jeopardize the system’s access to slaves, you see. So they have their spirits driven completely into the ground to stop others rising up against them.

Why do you think things like rape or domestic abuse are seldom punished? Or even murder to an extent? Especially since the government has had access to mass surveillance for over a decade and thus has the power to end such crimes completely?

The powers that be WANT this and NEED it for their system to survive.

That is the slave racket.

People have said so much insane shit over the years that it is genuinely becoming harder and harder to tell what is being said sarcastically and what is not

They don’t actually produce the bottles. They buy them from another manufacturer and just fill them with water.

You’re mostly paying for the cost of the bottle plus artificial markups for your water. A Brita filter for tap water is much more cost effective for the consumer assuming their tap water is safe.

The real answer if you actually bother to ask right wingers is that they genuinely feel disgusted and repulsed at trans/NB people, and they’re only acting on their emotions.

You all are way overthinking the problem

It’s good they were wrong and the covid dictatorial bullshit fell out of vogue, though.

They’re just getting defensive because someone dared to criticize the U.S., that’s all.

Honestly, the one thing people should be disputing about post-apocalypse games is why it is people would even be scraping by to survive in the first place. We’re social animals and would band together out of necessity, and knowledge and high technology wouldn’t simply go away simply because half the population turned into zombies and started eating everybody else.

Just hike to the nearest town or something. Read a book. Build a cistern and some aqueducts or something. People have literally been doing just that for thousands of years so why would it be hard for people to do it in modern times?

Why do people have beef with PHP? It’s just a programming language for crying out loud
