what’s the word for a thing that worms its way into your life, makes you depend on it, then uses that to exploit and damage you?
there’s a word for that.
okay but consider that you don’t have as much surveilance of your employees, and without that, how are you supposed to discipline them?
…cluttered? the fuck?
has this fucker seen a cubicle? why did she allow it?
it WAS dealt with pretty quick, but yeah I bet it’s still pretty absurd, even if they at least ask… some questions?
no, mine is broken right now.
okay but these fucking cultists have got away with much worse pretty regularly, and I expect this one to get away with this, so im still going to argue for my constitutional right (though not necessarily ability) to shoot up a church without imposed consequences.
wouldn’t shock me
basic state logic.
they’re incapable of sucking less. their whole episteme is about centralizing, about reducing thought the farther it gets from the central authority (whether that’s one guy, a class, or a building like the pentagon), but you CAN increase violence, threaten, flatten, disable, basically wherever.
for several years in the early 00’s, the process for getting security clearance involved no background check, just knowing who to ask. they literally rubber stamped it.

of course.
it wouldn’t shock me

it being abuse wouldn’t shock me, but it seems like the only thing necessary to make this is just, like, the civets eating stuff they normally eat, then collecting their poop.
eating cat poop: 👎 drinking cat poop: 👍
of course that asshole uses he/him pronouns.
and nope, not interested in proxies, only perfect opposites.
they outnumber the ‘tech crowd’ because we use technology to infantilize outselves, of which this is a prime example.
tl;dr: copyright law has always been nonsense designed to protect corporations and fuck over artists+consumers
but now corpo daddy and corpo mommy are fighting, and we need to take sides.
and it’s revealing that copyright law never existed to protect artists, and will continue to not do that, but MUCH more obviously, and all the cucks who whined about free culture violating laws are reaping what they fucking sowed.
agreed, but its an interesting contradiction revealed in the legal frameworks.
I was riffing on the original and translated titles of foucault’s most well known work. whether it was sarcasm or not; 🤷♀️
