$8.6 million Seems like a paltry amount for buying politicians in several governments when you consider the amount of money wealthy people have.

She's definitely the one!

Honestly, there's plenty of reasons to make fun of boomers/millennial/genZ but the reality is each generation has Republican and Democrat voters.

I'm not gonna suggest that Democrats always have the best interests of working class people in mind - but their camp does contain progressives, which is something that Republicans lack entirely.

At the end of the day, all our problems can be traced to income inequality that is largely pushed by Republicans (and a huge dose of "trusted media" espousing outright lies).

You can absolutely have a business oriented economy whose government protects it's people from abusive and predatory businesses practices while providing great education and healthcare for free.

It's something we'd all benefit from (even the wealthy, but it'd be less profitable) but something we'll never have because every generation has Republican voters who show up 100% of the time - and Democrat voters who barely show up, can't agree on anything, and require emotional inspiration to even begin to participate in politics.

In fact, now that we're literally watching Nazis take over the Republican party - anyone from any generation who votes Republican now is far worse than anyone who voted R in the past before the middle class was destroyed.

The Republican party is evolving into its final form of purest facisim, something that was plausibly deniable 10 years ago.

Bottom line is we're at a point in society where feelings and opinions are the only reality for a lot of people. It will be the death of democracy, and they'll go to their graves in chains they put on themselves believing they made the right choice, because why would anyone ever choose to feel regret or acknowledge the consequences of their own actions?

Paedophiles create nude AI images of children to extort from them, says charity | Internet safety | The Guardian (www.theguardian.com)

Internet Watch Foundation has found a manual on dark web encouraging criminals to use software tools that remove clothing. The manipulated image could then be used against the child to blackmail them into sending more graphic content, the IWF said.

Government/police insist on having basically unlimited ability to spy on people within the US, and then maybe catch a part of one operation after collecting heaps of evidence over months/years with tons of victims irrevocably harmed - and eventually a few main people get like 3-5 years in prison on a plea deal.

I get the whole "building a case" thing, but letting multiple children get abused, while other sickos learn the ropes to eventually "get enough evidence" so a few people can plead guilty for a comparatively light prison sentences is absurd. Shut anything about it down immediately. Even if it doesn't go to trial/conviction I'm sure the police have creative capacities to deal with child abusers outside of prison.

And people still think sex education in school is about teaching children how to preform sex acts, instead of helping them avoid predators.

Awwwwh, but I wanted a peanut!

Do currently you talk with cats? Or talk to cats?

Because if you're not successfully working with your cats as cat burglars, you're only talking to cats.

For what it's worth, I picked the same 3

You can absolutely explain the ending.

It's just that you will also be wrong

I just got a blue ray of samurai champloo - mostly because I'm sick of media in general cycling through multiple streaming services only to become unavailable.

The SC blue ray came with a digital copy from funimation (now crunchyroll). I saw online that it's basically a scam that doesn't work so to see for myself I created a paid account to hopefully get access to the digital download.

I found out it was unsupported, and at best it would only be available online and with an account - no opportunity for actual download/ownership.

So I immediately cancelled subscription and had them fully delete my account. I figured complaining about their shit policy by cancelling a paid service and fully deleting an account would hit some metrics at least.

When there's a show/movie I really enjoy, I either buy physical, or torrent so I actually have it. Only some things on the internet are forever, and with the volume of content being created, "permanent" is now often only for a few months before it becomes nearly impossible to find again.

AI isn't good enough to replace workers, but it could probably replace C-suite executives at astronomical savings to the company

    I'm happy I found this show when I was 17, heard about it through an acquaintance, and found the English subs on Kazaa.

    Perfect show at the perfect time of my life, definitely has a massive nostalgia factor and helped me work through some stuff.

    If I were to see it for the first time today, 20 years later, I'm not sure it would have the same impact.

    While it may not be for everyone, Evangelion is the standalone best anime for me and I rewatch it often.

    How dare those filthy anarchists deny the proletariat the joy of pulling themselves up by their bootstraps!
