The story seems to be referencing the first time apple had regular people try it which may have been in a focus group or at some kind of publicity event. If this did happen I’m sure they made safeguards against it before selling it

This is america

If the schools taught us that how would the tax prep companies make their profits?

uncritical support

🎶If it hadn’t been for Genocide Joe🎶 🎶Trump’d be president long time go🎶

🎶 Where did you come from, where did you go? Where did you come from, Genocide Joe🎶

OK how do we address that problem? Is voting blue going to do fuck all about it? No it’s not.

If both of the 2 options in your precious “democracy” are pro-genocide even though most citizens are anti-genocide then your “democracy” is worthless and I don’t care what happens to it

You said

Trump is an idiot who doesn’t care and will do whatever makes him more money

But you also said that the current president

…is just a figurehead and takes his orders from the powers that be: weapons manufacturers and their corporate shareholders

Both of these things are just as bad, why do you think that a president doing whatever the arms companies want is better than a president doing whatever makes himself more money? Arguably I’d rather have a self interested guy in office than one who serves the blood god of the military industrial complex

That movie was the worst thing the Wachowski sisters ever did

Why is Biden so angry and anxious then? Does he need a lexapro prescription? Is he maybe having nightmares about all the blood on his hands?

Because he started out with the assumption that the actions of Israel must be defended, then he started coming up with an argument and this is the best he could do. People like this don’t learn things or come to realizations, if the argument they’re making falls apart they will just start looking for another argument that defends the same point and if they can’t come up with another one they’ll just assume that someone smarter than them must have a good reason even if they can’t point to any evidence for that

“Listen jack the soul of the nation is more important than one election. And the soul of this nation craves genocide”

Biden should keep his campaign promise of not seeking a 2nd term

Jewish gnosticism also existed, maybe even before Christian gnosticism. Arguably Christianity grew out of a Jewish gnostic movement. I think that some Jewish sects differentiate between the gods “El” and “Yahweh” from the old testament and they consider “El” to be the demiurge and “Yahweh” to be the god of light.

It would make sense that this occurred after some heavy cultural borrowing from the zoroastrian Persians who had a dualistic cosmology

USA doesn’t give a fuck about other countries sovereignty when it goes murdering across the globe

this pun might single handedly save Hexbear from it’s well publicized impending death

Mods C’mon man!

It seems like by the late 80s the USSR was ready to be toppled without much effort. If the Soviet system was so successful why weren’t there groups of people working on keeping it going and safeguarding it from Western meddling? The story of it’s fall is usually told as though it was all because of Gorbachev’s mistakes or Krushchevs or Brezhnevs but isn’t the whole point of socialism that the fate of a country shouldn’t be in the hands of one man? Why wasn’t there a civil war when the USSR dissolved? I’m just asking I have no idea there’s probably good answers to this

…people just liked it better that way!

Yes it’s about power. And the powerful use racism to get or keep power. So it’s about both.
