“we can make enough money without it”

They’re owned by IBM.

Sinking a ship near the fiber cables won’t make things better, easier to service/fix, and may cause a war

“was”?

Sounds like they’re trying to find an excuse to take down the EPAs site, and eventually the EPA

But but but tariffs work!

If you use the word “slaps” you’re not talking to the population as a whole, you’re talking to specific people. And likely ones who already agree with your point.

Nah you’re not going to post your way out of fascism. The whole point of Musk and Trump is they literally dgaf about what people say. Actions matter, and organizing on any social media that’s easily reachable by AI might as well just fax the FBI their plans.

Leaking fuel is generally a bad thing. It may not hit the differential but let’s say the exhaust or muffler is banged up and pointed downwards – still gonna have a nasty fire

“Hitler banned smoking and has animal cruelty laws, so we’re going to overlook his human cruelty as long as the bills get paid” – IBM, probably

Start changing passwords mon ami

Get a password manager and just start going from site to site and change em up. Use strong ones and store them in the pass manager. Start with critical ones like banks, email accounts, and government stuff, and then keep going…

Red China is long gone mon ami. Communism with Chinese Characteristics loves the rich, but only if you’re aligned to the correct clique.

At this point their values are basically hyperreality and goading the population back to serfdom

One of the takeaways of AM being hacked was that a ton of accounts were fake, and existed to create the idea of a busy site, to add social proof and validity-by-numbers.
