i think right now with gambling companies (including "prediction markets" and even the non-$$ based nonsense like that ghoulish Forbes market) we're at roughly where the US was with its tobacco industry circa the mid/late 1950s. question is whether policymakers and society in general will have an actual moment of clarity and punish those responsible, or continue to tolerate it for decades with millions more dead.

i remember this hardware coming out and, not knowing that a boomslang was a type of snake", thinking "what a ridiculous Gamer Word they've invented! boomslang!" like it was something gamers would yell at one another while fragging.
interesting "totally fake painted Quake 3 screenshot" there too.

the simple answer is that none of the good futures we imagine happen by accident. and none of the people with power can be trusted to make better things happen

and now i'm asking myself if medieval peasants looked at the clock in the bell tower and told each other

"in the future, we'll have a weekend off, as they'll be able to see how long and hard we've worked"

look so OK the devil usually does the schtick of giving you some plainly stated offer or else he gets your soul, so the vampire telling peter cushing how to kill him is in-universe, but look at peter cushing's approach here. he gives a big overhand vertical axe chop and misses abysmally. that's not even close. peter cushing was begging to get axed.

every possible idea about how to structure society and care for people funneled through "can this make a huge company more $$$?" utter backwards thinking that will murder billions if allowed to continue driving humanity into the middle of this century
the # of "oh so you think she should be driving?" replies there show how totally fucking cooked the american political imagination has gotten, zero ability to think about ways to meet human needs
https://xcancel.com/SoveyX/status/2045259616330674466 evil, evil shit to see an old woman who paid >=$50k for a nazi car that is going to kill her or someone else with zero legal liability to the nazi car company, and a bunch of amoral dipshits on nazi twitter clapping like seals for it because they have a financial stake in the nazi car company and thus incentive to spread any lie that makes their number go up
you should absolutely block any zionist you run across on fedi including the zionist instance, babka dot social. they support genocide and should feel unwelcome everywhere they go.
