Well I would hate to dehumanize with cartoon imagery:

Arm Britain and Prolong the War!

I have no idea how any leftie could side with Putin over this. He is literally a gangster capitalist living in obscene gold-toilet wealth atop a kleptocracy, and he launched a "preemptive strike" on a mineral-rich country, giving a blood-and-soil justification AND ludicrous talk about WMDs targeted at "Russian DNA." He is the apex Montgomery Burns!

Happy Friday the 13th everyone.

The current crypto downswing is pretty heavy, and a couple big ones have collapsed. Suicidal people in this forum on some that got rugpulled by a billionaire.

For today's cyberpunk dystopia, I bring you the $300,000 massage robot.



Like all things cyber dystopia, it's more expensive and worse than things that already exist. In this case being a ~$400 massage chair that uses rollers. Or for $300,000 you could just buy a person, maybe even this highway guy. They could also make sandwiches for u.

This goofy thing is way more upbeat than like Bill Gates owning some lady's leg, and then repossessing it because one of his lawyers successfully convinced a judge it wasn't covered by her insurance.



They shouldn't but some have pacifism as a core ideal. Not everyone buys into "you're with us or against us" on everything. We're all ideologues on some things.

I have no idea what the magnitude of gas being an issue of the current war is. But if we took what we're told on face value, it would be 0%.

Damn! If that robot's tormented artificial consciousness is anywhere near as depraved as my own, he's lookin' to do some MECHANICAL BACKSHOT once toots gets comfy! DEPLOYING ROBO_HAND.EXE/YOGA PANTIES COMIN DOWN/LOAD BACK.SHOT.WAV Perhaps the tyranny of #1 massage shagger George Uhl, who I swear is abusing ginseng suppositories or something - how the hell does he bust so violently at his age, the bastard - is at last nearing its end

For the record everyone, GIS did not have an image of just the robot, and was debating editing the post just now to just link to the youtube video instead to avoid this issue.

I don't think it would have helped much - their marketing team has this model basically stapled to this thing.

You have no idea about a lot of things, as everything you post rests on the unstated premise "those multimillionaires on TV would never lie to me!"

Under your brilliant plan, Ukrainians continue to die by the thousands, US and EU economies are tanking, and the Ruble is hanging strong. Tell me again who sides with Putin.

In reality, the Ukraine proxy war is just the Syria proxy war: the sequel. Replace Al Qaeda with Nazis. Maybe replace Assad with Denis Pushilin if you want to. Same script, but ticket prices are going to be triple this time because of bidenflation.

Your homophobia is noted.

And, with one word you prove you have absolutely no idea how the economy works.

And, your vote counts the same as anyone else's. God help us all.

Oi, that talk of money reminded me a communist finally explained to me what they meant by "abolishing money", I wish Jon had taken the time to explain it years ago.

The difference between money and communist labor vouchers, is money is exchangeable while labor vouchers are not. So you can have all the money in the world by vacuuming it away from everyone else, while you'll never be able to amass godlike levels of power with vouchers since your labor is finite. The Diablo 3 real money auction house versus only being able to keep your own drops, is a good analogy of differing systems.

The idea that maybe our currency isn't as much different from crypto or video game currency as it should be always feels like a dark thought. Not as horrific as thinking about hydrogen, no. But the fact the empires we live under need to constantly expand, and jacking up prices is the only way to do that in a finite world without new lands to conquer... argh.

It's like society is one big suicide machine, prepping itself to go.

Some food for thought concerning the ongoing outrage over the recently leaked Supreme Court draft opinion...which, somehow, the folks constantly rending their garments over how the government has too much power and too little transparency have, let's just say, yet to come around on. For some reason.

I think the Vietnam proxy war is a better analogy.

We're like the USSR providing weapons to the North Vietnamese to fight off military occupation by former colonial overlords. "Oh doesn't Zelenskyy/Ho Chi Minh realize that by putting up a fight he's intensifying the violence done against him by the imperialists?"

Shit, Putin's even got his own version of the Domino Theory regarding all the former neutral and Warsaw Pact countries scrambling to join NATO so he can't attack them.

Seeing that Terra (LUNA) reddit had a "no FUD" rule made me giggle something fierce. 0 posts in three days, "restricted" posting, I think they're serious about that. So I guess they're closing down soon.



Yeah, it's an easy litmus test of personhood. The leak was good everyone against it is bad. For a moment I felt bad about how I don't see those priests as people and would only feel relief at them being gone, but then I remembered they're a brainwashing army under the employ of Mr.Burns.

I'm seriously not joking about capitalists stripping away the New Deal and going back to as close to outright chattel slavery as they can. Does anyone here not think that's their ultimate goal, that it is pretty feasible it will happen, and there's nothing that can stop it from happening?

That's literally how the Friedman doctrine, which forms the undisputed cornerstone of conservative economics and has thus been adopted by pretty much every member of the owner class, works: you are literally not allowed to take anything other than making as much money as much as possible, as quickly as possible, by any and all means possible, into account, or else you're either not fulfilling your fiduciary responsibility to your shareholders or are competing with those who are (and, in the name of their pursuit of wealth remaining uninterrupted, are also working overtime to make sure both the government and the public either doesn't care or doesn't have a choice but to patronize them even if they do - which conveniently and utterly annihilates Friedman's weaksauce failsafe of "leaving those concerns to others") and are doomed to failure because you're not willing to do what it takes like they are.

Short of eliminating workers altogether - which, of course, they continue to make great strides in each and every day - the best way to put more money into your pockets is to strip said workers of both their compensation and their right to demand better, and since that's the only thing they can or do care about, of course they want to, at the very least, get as close as they possibly can to bringing slavery, indentured servitude et al back, and to a larger segment of the population than ever.

EDIT: In other news, Satanic portals.

Looks like the Battle of Kharkiv is over... and Ukraine won!

Unfortunately, they will be back. It also means Russia will likely redirect their complete focus on taking southern regions and securing a landbridge and buffer to Crimea. Ultimately, Russia's new goal is to siege and seize to all of Ukraine's ports--and completely cut them off from the Black Sea.

I worry that there's no off-ramp from this conflict if Putin doesn't at least secure new territory near Crimea and obviously Ukraine wants to hold their western ports. Seems non-negotiable on both sides. I wonder how much blood and treasure we will all have to pour down the gutter to eventually reach that ugly compromise.

The extra layer of absurdity is how far divorced stonks are from profits these days. To a large degree I believe it's less about numbers and more abstract than that: being dicks for the sake of being dicks, as well as simply pushing the lower class down.

The whole replacing everyone with robots thing is absolutely abhorrent in the minds of the humanists I mentioned a bit before, and it's a bit of wishful bias on their case hoping that it's impossible. If it is possible, someone will make it happen if they have enough time before the gas runs out. I mean, here we are talking about money and keeping people in their place by every means, and they're over there banging a hammer against a pipe muttering "don't mind me, just working toward making a machine god here..."

Tucker Carlson is harmless they said.

Well, that has been A Week, hasn't it?

I've asked economists what they think about the idea of having price ceilings; this seems similar. The problem is that people are very good at setting up black markets; people are going to come up with a medium of exchange regardless. That is more or less what the deal was with Prohibition - on the whole a win for mortality in the United States, but everybody remembers how it was essentially the government granting a monopoly to criminal enterprises (which actually, given the lack of opportunities for some immigrants at the time, may not have been an entirely negative thing, again).

Saw a supercut of this "Tucker" fellow. Seems like a pretty dedicated program toward calling people subhuman parasites for hours every day. Very nazi-like.

Patrice's bit on how they need us to hate each other comes to mind, as it does always. Patrice was another one taken from us way too early.

pr0n for war profiteers and their fan club right here

"Rumble" is that Kelsey Grammer's new site?

I tend to avoid those right-wing "alternative" social media sites as they are a wretched hive of scum and cringe. For example, here is the latest big thing from Parler:

Right wingers shouldn't start conversations about selling guns and profiteers. You won't like where that leads.

In today's most Sonic-the-Hedgehog-from-Archie-Comics move, 26 year old Madison Cawthorn, fresh off being ousted from congress by his own party for trying to mess up their republican old man orgies, has vowed that the time has come for THE RISE OF DARK MAGA:

Joe Biden: poses for a photo with a union organizer

Elon Musk: THE LEFT HAS LEFT ME, I'M VOTING REPUBLICAN NOW!!!

Semiliterate highschool kids shouldn't troll the shmupfarm during class. Repeating the 10th grade again would be pretty embarrassing.

Future president Pete Buttigieg is fine with the baby formula shortage everyone~

It reminds me of the whole "if the superintelligent AI decides we should all be killed, then it's morally correct for us to all die I guess?" thing. Very religious.



Let's be real, the guy wasn't wasting his vote on libertarian candidates.

Googling to see where he lives (it's somewhere in Texas) brought up some more musk nonsense. The guy says he lives in a $50k cardboard box, rumors say he's living in a $15m estate, with two unreliable sources we can only cut the difference and assume he lives in a $7m cardboard box. Even the smallest, most innocuous thing is a gigantic ball of drama, with this asshole...

Norm said he lived in an apartment since the idea of living in a giant empty box wasn't appealing to him. I'd like him back so much.. "You can have Musk, Gates, Cheney and Buffet in exchange, Satan" I'd say, but I realized they're already his.

That announcement of his new standup special, recorded presumably from his home, will feel a little sad, maybe ghoulish, but I'll take it. The world actively wants us to be unhappy when it took so many comedians from us over a single year. Among other things.

What was that old quote? "To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize"?

That's not an old quote, it's a 1993 quote from Kevin Alfred Strom, a Holocaust-denying Neo-Nazi who later plead guilty to possession of child pornography, that in recent years has been misattributed to Voltaire by nazis online.

Jesus fuck it's scary how mainstream social media has made nazi talking points.

Take me back to the good old days!

Sad to see young people's marriages fail, whatever the reason.

That said, America First's dwarven leadership was recently abducted and decapitated live on-air by the crack team of an elderly cancer patient, a retarded cokehead, and a big fat Canadian dyke, so I'm guessing their affiliates aren't the highest-quality people to begin with. I hope his ex finds a new husband not beholden to a literal Gay Mexican Midget Incel Nazi, an IDPOL buffchain presumably intended for suicide runs.

Ah, as long as they don't throw a laughtrack on top of it it'll be fine. I wanna see grandpa on his couch running through his last set.



It helps they usually toss a leftist bedsheet over their sales pitches. In isolation that one's harmless, normal people will assume it's referring to banks, oil barons, war profiteers, Comcast, etc. Only the Too Far Gones will think it means "globalists" (their current substitute for "Jewish people").

It's in the same bucket as benevolent dictator Tom's "he who feeds you, controls you." In context this was to support his initiative to make his country food independent as goal #1 to throw off the debt slavery french banks had imposed on them. From a leftist viewpoint, you could say it also applies to stuffing natives into a reservation and destroying their hunter gatherer way of life. While conservatives would infer something different from the saying.

You read into it what you want. The adage knife cuts both ways.

Also OJ is innocent.



















Said no one ever



I disagree! Escaping that prison sooner than later is ideal, vastly. Seeing miserable old bastards like the Clintons or Trumps who've wasted a huge chunk of their entire lives, that's pitiable.

In this case the lady probably should cut her losses earlier than she did. Reports say he brought his cousin along on their honeymoon, and well...

TBH, even a stuffy auld tradcon like myself would probably crumble, trying to look my wife and children in their eyes (edit: my husband and children, even) after paying my weekly AF dues :[ (read: ramming Nick's boipucci while reciting the fourteen words in full catboy regalia)

Certainly at that age! It's enough to make a man sick. It's enough to kill a man's prick.

Godspeed / Vaya con Dios, newly-fled young men of AF. You can be trad n' shit (or gay!) without blowing a closeted midget, or LARPing as butchers who'd liquidate him and you and your extended families (Burgermutts LMAO) as soon as look at you. 3;
