This is why you always have a permanent marker handy though!

That soundtrack is a huge reason it’s such a perfect film. Damn, it gets ya so pumped!

You have chosen. . . .

. . .wisely.

There was that cat recently who holds the record for a crazy amount of toes. :3

My first thought was “Hey we’re one step closer to Star Trek replicators.” :D

The Promise: “You’ll have to work less!”

The Reality: You have to work more, for a literal machine.

We will not go quietly into that good night.

Pretty sure this is that dude known as ReviewBro, who reviews fast food and stuff. Or used to, idk.

He was in a rather popular meme that goes “My disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined.” Lol

I think they’re responding to the original image which states “Is there anything that isn’t getting worse?”

I agree. Things are NUTS right now but there’s some truly incredible stuff going on in the open source anything space, and I’m happy to be here for it. :)

Its all just homosapiens coping,

Exactly. Want to actually fight drugs? Give people something to hope for, and opportunities to do better things than constantly numb oneself with various substances to cope with a soulless nightmare society.

I notice it’s a good barometer for society’s health: Once all the jobs start laying off again and the costs go up and up and up and we get into some other war, everybody starts reaching for the stims to get through their jobs and the narcotics to find respite from everything else.

Just constant stress and pressure in the very air. It sucks…

If it helps, I gave you both updoots because the discussion was enlightening and mostly productive. :)

I’m sickened by how many “flawed trials” are going to result out of such a thing before it “succeeds.”

Even as a goal, this is so wrong on every level. The stuff of nightmares.

Yeah I only use Signal for people I actually want to have a direct line to me.

SMS is my “I might answer if I see it” protocol. If someone decides we’re close enough for serious chatting, we can do it encrypted. XD

That’s really insightful!

I use Signal, but still wouldn’t mind adding more people to ArcaneChat because frankly, it’s more fun. The “apps” functionality and the fact that it works over email protocol is like, fascinating to me. It feels almost like the good old days of Yahoo Messenger, but encrypted! Yay!

I think it’d still be fine to use for casual use. If OPSEC is ridiculously important, there’s always Signal.

Have to admit, I also kinda hate seeing Signal show up in normiestream news more often lately. 😬

Yep, was only a matter of time. Can’t have people peeping into those walled gardens trash fires untracked and unmonetized!

Klaus was digital 2D! It was so GORGEOUS that movie.

“Meta” like “all that metadata” they’re harvesting, manipulating, selling! Perfect, IMO! :D

Those were SO GOOD I loved those. Miss my ODST getup and hanging out with my friends in a lobby just chatting in the wee hours…

I imagine like everything else it relies on their servers to function so…prolly =\
