The movies did a great job at presenting thanos as an extremist that sincerely wants the greater good by questionable means, but it falls apart because his grand plan is just so stupid. The only way to reconcile the sympathetic character with the dumb plan is to point out he's "THANOS THE MAD TITAN", not "THANOS THE TITAN THAT FULLY CONSIDERS THE CONSEQUENCES OF HIS ACTIONS"

Would have been much better if they just kept his original motivation from the comics: Death is a hot lady and horny thanos does the snap as a gift to her

That's assuming you'll meet literally every person on earth

Let's say you will have a meaningful interaction with 1000 people ever, 1% of that leaves you with 10

If you're not bi make it 5 before you even start considering wether you also find those people attractive back, if they're single and in the right age range

So get that confidence back down. Statistics are a bitch

They can also make artificial diamonds that are good enough for jewelry, the perception that lab made diamond is different/worse than diamonds pulled from the ground is just propaganda to keep the artificial scarcity

Google: mind if we put a keylogger on your browser for spellchecking?

You: don't

Google: OK, we won't use the keylogger data for spellchecking

It's a huge luxury to be able to make money off something you love, even more to just be able to do what you love without worrying about money.

Meta has no interest in being part of the fediverse, it only wants to eliminate any posible competition.

The usual MO of buying the competitors isn't posible on the fediverse, so the way to do it is embrace, extend and extinguish

Defederating is important because is Metastasis is allowed in the fediverse it will consume the fediverse, and then we'll be right back at the corporate social media we're trying to break away from, with the surveillance, ads and nazis being welcome as long as it's profitable

That's the point of step 2: inspect ass

If you find or smell poopoo obviously don't proceed to brlbrlelebrbrbr (or do if you're into that shit who the fuck am I to judge)

trump might be president in 2024. That sucks, but most of the damage has already been done (supreme court, senate, etc).

It's very optimistic of you to assume the damage is already done when he's literally promising to replace the entire government with loyalists and weaponize the judiciary system against all the "vermin" as soon as he's reelected.

Might as well show the dems that they have to run a candidate that supports the rights of civilians all around the globe

Except by then there won't be any more elections

Again

Yes I know that both options are terrible and the system is fucking garbage, but if you refuse to vote for the lesser evil you're not taking some moral high road, you're just enabling the worst evil

Refusing to make a choice is still a choice.

The only options are: status quo that doesn't do the bare minimum against genocide, or an actual fascist who is literally promising to do more genocide.
