For most people, the word "review" now means "promotional video or blog post paid for with a supplied no-cost product and a non-monetary reward of accumulated influence metrics which then gets laundered into cash through adshare revenue and merchandising". It's how products are marketed to people who pretend they're too clever for marketing, and in the modern era it's mostly just the collateral cultural damage of Google's business model.

FUCK THE IRS!

It’s @alcade chilling vision for the future…

@freemo greater response time would mean to have cops there already _and_ them doing their job :P

tbh, i'd much prefer common people carrying guns. stupid german gun laws don't prevent the real bad people from owning guns after all.

There's no way to completely avoid being controversial. No matter what stance or public position you take, there's going to be a sizeable opposition.

Try to figure out what you think is right and true and then attempt to be consistent with that.

Adjust, if needed, as you find out more.

Now if only I had the slightest idea how to use Blender 😭

OoooOooh i found a cool driveway rock!

Canadian media & govt personalities are launching an "I deserve better" campaign in response to the hate they receive from the public.
It kinda comes off as "you can't talk to us like this" in an environment where they regularly talk down to the public about anything and everything.
People in all kinds of positions of authority seem to forget that respect is a two-way street.

Constitutional Conservatives can't wrap their heads around the fact that the "founding fathers" had no authority to bind the people alive at the time to their political whims with some made up document, let alone the generations that follow.

No understanding of consent or authority.

The State could put them in an iron cage for something they didn't do, and they'll continue to go on about how "the Constitution is the greatest document ever, we must support it!"
