This is actually pretty dope. I didn't know something like this existed. Sounds like a tactic a natural psychopath or manipulator would use. I'm neither. Maybe I used a bad example out of ignorance. Let me try again.

Boeing will not face any consequences just like no one at Ford Motor Company has ever faced any consequences for dumping toxic waste in New Jersey in the 1960's. This has been a continuous issue for decades, and no one to date has been held to account.

Boeing will not face any consequences, just like no one in the Sackler family did any time for actively promoting opioids as a harmless pain killer. Please google the article, "NY Times 2023 - An Appeals Court Gave the Sacklers Legal Immunity. "

I can keep going. I'm not crazy or trying to trick anyone. There's messed up things companies do, and no one is held accountable. If I was a someone's handyman and hurt a client or a clients neighbor I would be held to the full extent of the law. There are families, companies, and institutions out there doing terrible things, with no consequences. Why? Because they hold all the power. That is a fact.

Clinton once asked "Who's the superpower here?". Shortly after he "walked" out of the White House.

Okay you're right, weapons of mid destruction.

@JumpCrissCross I can't reply to your sub comment, but yes, Boeing manufactures weapons systems. It's their bread and butter. You thought they only built airplanes and partially functional spacecrafts?

You're referring to compartmentalized departments. No one person or internal unit can truly understand the inner workings of this machine. This is by design.

Bankruptcy? There's indirectly trillions of dollars on the line if Boeing goes bankrupt. This is why I'm telling you, nothing significant will happen. Don't be an contrarian, just think about it. "Too Big to Fail", it's a real thing bud.

It's not manufacturing junk. It's manufacturing weapons of mass destruction at a massive scale. A few of their planes malfunction, ok. The bombs they produce are a different story. They work, and they fuck up thousands of lives in a short amount of time.

My comment isn't coming out of thin air. I'm trying my best to look at the big picture. What I see is that the military industrial complex is bigger than anyone (including myself), can comprehend. They are an immovable force. If they go down, so does our country. It's that simple. This isn't eBay or some couple billion dollar fraud, we are talking about. It's much much bigger. This is trillions bigger.

How so? I think he's got a point. VC Pumps things with cash, forces them to work well on the surface, and eventually it becomes a thing that isn't so great. Uber pays shit to the drivers and takes a large chunk for themselves. Airbnb is contributing to the housing crisis. What's the problem going to be with AI products 10 or 15 years from now? I think that's a valid question if you look at the history of these types of ventures.

Had no idea Google had a VPN. I don’t know why anyone would use it. As if their other data gathering methods weren’t enough. Imagine funneling all of your internet traffic through them.

There's reports of Aurora's in Puerto Rico. Last time they were seen this far south was 103 years ago.

This is a new excerpt from the news station "Primera Hora"

> "Por Primera Hora. 11 de mayo de 2024 • 7:53am. Las aurora borales que decoraron el cielo anoche se lograron ver en Puerto Rico, fenómeno que no se veía en la Isla desde hace 103 años"

English Translation:

>"For First Hour. May 11, 2024 • 7:53am. The northern lights that decorated the sky last night were seen in Puerto Rico, a phenomenon that had not been seen on the Island for 103 years"

I found a typo in the "Target User Group" section.

Original Sentence:

Correction:

This is peak capitalism. The middle class is almost no existent. Big companies are making products that regular people can't afford. It's kinda like the time workers at the old Ford plants couldn't afford the cars that they were making. Eventually they started paying their employees enough to do so. I just looked up the price of a base model Jeep Wrangler, it's 31K, probably closer to 38K out the door(financed of course). That's a lot of money. I wonder if the average factory worker can TRULY afford the base model version of the vehicle they help assemble.

New comment by worldwidelies in "Good news against dengue"

worldwidelies — Mon, 15 Apr 2024 12:13:19 +0000

I got dengue and typhoid fever at the same time. They call it a co-infection. I was pissing blood at one point but they said it was due to dehydration and having a kidney stone I wasn't aware of until they had me get an ultrasound. Anyway, these types of viruses are unavoidable. Everyone gets sick from time to time. Incase anyone is curious, I got them both from a restaurant I went to. I kept getting bit by mosquitos that night and the water they served didn't taste right. I only took a few sips of the water but that's all you need to catch typhoid. I google mapped the restaurant and found a few open drainage ditches next to the restaurant. The mosquitos must have been growing in there.

Someone much more tech savvy than me should try to use Charles Proxy on an iOS device and see how often your phone is communicating with Apple servers. It’s pretty wild.

I worked at a large company. My manager told me there's a legal requirement to post jobs publicly even though the position was intended for internal hiring. I don't know how true this is. If it is true, this could explain some of the 'ghost jobs'.

Is it coincidence that Meta is trying to get portions of NSOs source code via the court system. Also today is apparently a big voting day. The techno-apocalypse is near.
