Law - the whims of the king and his agents regardless of what the written law is. The written law will be ignored or interpreted and then modified retroactively to suit the king’s whims. The law only applies to opponents, critics, outgroups, minorities, and those that can be interpreted as foreign. The king and his sycophants can get away with whatever they want.
Can’t argue with “Order”.
Right back to cable packages and pay-per-view or on-demand movie rentals.
Tons of paid video service, most of it not worth watching, pay extra again to watch what you do want to watch. Oh, here’s a couple ads, too.
Arr…
If you have to tell deliberate lies to influence people then that isn’t democracy. That’s fascism or at least a kakistocracy - the worst and stupidest rule because they can’t get elected otherwise. Fuck twisting the First Amendment into a tool of lies and corruption.
Dr. WebMD just tells you every disease is terminal. Dr. ChatGPT cites a reddit post that tells you a sore throat means you should kill yourself.
None of them are great, all too thin and probably have hard 90° edges from being stamped cheap metal, but maybe 2. Five can fuck off, too wide and trying to be a spoon, the rest are too narrow in the handle.
Unfortunately a lot of the latino vote comes from the religious, macho, and anti-liberal attitudes they hold. Lots of them are catholic, and even if the republicans are absolutely full of shit when it comes to being “Christian”, their propaganda claiming they are has been very effective. The latter two are in a way perversely tied together. They like macho “strong man” leaders, but unfortunately there are a lot of latin/hispanic countries run by strong man leaders claiming to be liberal leftists that are nothing more than tyrants and authoritarians that wreck their countries. So they vote anti-liberal, associating liberal with tyrants, while supporting yet another “strong man” fascist that will fuck the country up.
*I am not latin, however I worked in a latin country and have worked with several latin/hispanic people and learned what I could about their country, culture and politics, and this is how it was explained to me.
Dr. Tiktok and Dr. Instagram, I presume.
Facts don’t matter. That’s been in display since W was president, but went into overdrive since trump. It’s been said before, but they really do love in their own reality, even if that reality is built on lies.
Like anyone believing the lies of their abuser, they’ll just blame the Chinese for hurting them. Just do what the abuser wants, then everything will be ok. Don’t rock the boat.
239 miles / 150 miles for big/small battery in angry eagle units.
Paywalled.
Anyone got a battery range on this vehicle?
Probably one with a literal kink in it. The stretched out area will slow the flow vs the un-disturbed smaller diameter. Probably dribble a lot, too.
Shoulda done that, I dunno…a decade ago?
And so nothing changes and probably continues to get worse.
Also, this is an attempt to block malicious influence, outright lies, and distorted reality. You’re free to access actual reality anytime.
Take what I said in the context it was said.
Yeah, you could power it up (maybe) with some backup batteries and a camping solar charger. Heck, even a cheap HAT screen would allow visual and touch access.
The point is that the knowledge therein is useless unless you are already fully prepared to make use of it. I’ve already covered that.
Note that I already said you’d have to have all the survival and power requirements in place before doomsday. Not waiting until doomsday to use this box as a tool to learn how to survive. IOW if you’re not already a prepped prepper, this box is pointless.
I’m not sure what you’re aiming for when you kinda proved my point.
You cited a youtube video, something that would be inaccessible during doomsday as a source of info, and the whole point is to have all the power supply and survival solutions in place before doomsday and the youtube video would be pointless.
Look, unless it’s a slow decline where you have some access to power and time to develop survival tools and skills to use this box it’s pointless as you’ve already developed the survival tools and skills. As an archive of other skills and knowledge it’s only as useful as the longevity of the storage media and the devices used to access it (monitor, keyboard, pi, etc).
Neat. I get the archived sites and docs as pretty useful and a good way to keep info that might be redacted or manipulated by a fascist government, but I gotta question the use of this technological medium to save information as useful during a “doomsday” situation.
If you’re in an actual doomsday situation, that means odds are utilities like water and power are intermittent or nonexistent, this box will be useless unless you have already spent the time and effort to install and maintain an off-grid power solution to use this device.
So essentially a gimmick. However, I can’t argue with the preservation of knowledge in an effort to reference it when bad actors change what is publicly available.
E: I think people are missing my point. I said you’d need to be prepared to use this device in a doomsday situation, as in, “already spent the time and effort to install and maintain an off-grid power solution…”
But for some reason people are telling me “well if you’ve already got a power setup…” when I stated not having the means to utilize this device it’s pointless. Telling me what I already said? C’mon, people. No need to reiterste my solutions and contradict conditions I stated to make yourself right.
You’d also already have to have all the tools, seeds, plants, material, equipment and supplies to make or farm and a community to implement the knowledge saved on the device. Maintaining the trappings of civilization in a doomsday situation is all but impossible solo, and a shitload of work for a community. You don’t put this box in a closet and when the power goes out permanently and your gas generator kicks on you decide it’s time to learn how to survive. IOW it’s useless unless you’re already prepped.
I’m sure this doesn’t even calculate the downstream damages done when agencies like FEMA can no longer do their jobs effectively. But I’m sure some for-profit enterprise will fill the gaps where possible to screw people out of their money.
