  • There used to be this person i would see all over town. By town, I mean large city. I would see them in parks and even in friends apt complex parking lots. The last time, my friends saw them too, so i know i wasnt just crazy. They would be dressed, head to toe, like a white, or maybe light blue, bird. They would wear a one piece leotard, that covered thier hair / head and feet, and had feathered wings and maybe shoulders and head? Distinctly a bird, though. They would be like meditating, with thier arms outstretched up toward the sky, perfectly still. It started freaking me out cause I'd see them so much, just standing there, like a statue. Did I have a stalker? Was a bird person cult? Was it an art project? I had all these questions. I felt mildly harassed by this.

  • Not at all, if anything, it's escalating. Hide your kids, hide your wife!

    Today government officals from New Jersey held a press conference(somehow only fox news seems to have the video), local sheriff's departments are taking matters into their own hands, and sightings have expanded to include other states, and military bases, including a us military base in germany, and other sensitive areas.

  • The future vice president of America is close with the leaders of the neoreactionary movement. I suppose, I wonder if a positive public opinion would make it easier for them to mobilize.

    Edit: ending up with support from both sides of the isle.

  • Fair take. That wasn't my intention, although, now, I suppose that maybe a natural progression.

    I admit, there is definitely a disconnect, considering his actions, but, I really am torn on the idea. I guess, I question that if (and big if) his intention is to build this type of future, would his actions be enough to make others sympathetic to his cause? If, or at what point, people turn away?

  • Does everyone still feel the same if he turns out to be a neoreactionary / accelerationist?

    Per The San Francisco Standard

    Mangione gave Ted Kaczynski’s book “Industrial Society and Its Future” four out of five stars, writing that the man known as the Unabomber was “rightfully imprisoned” for “maiming innocent people” but noting that his actions were “those of an extreme political revolutionary.”

    Mangione’s social media accounts paint a picture of a tech enthusiast with a soft spot for conservative thinkers. He has retweeted posts from right-wing capitalists like Peter Thiel and lists an applauding biography of Elon Musk as one of his favorites on GoodReads.

  • I fear that instead of an era of reform, the response to this act of violence and to the widespread rage it has ushered into view will be limited to another round of retreat by the wealthiest.

    I wonder if the general public will face collective retaliation. If the rich feel secure, they're going to want to put people in thier place.

    what's stops one from scavenging the best parts of old phones and putting them into a new one?

    These are just examples, I have no opinion on what is the best.

    Something like: I like the cameras from the Galaxy s23, the processor from the latest Pixel, the memory from the Razor. I mean whatever. I suppose Iphones could be included, but I figure it's more locked in than androids, I could be wrong.

    Or even replacing a part from one phone with one that's better, for personal use? Like, even just putting pixel 7 cameras into a pixel 8 phone.

    Besides the factory warrenty, and money spent, is it software? Is it having to reconfigure the hardware? Is it just space in general?

    If we all have things we don't like about our phones, why aren't we able to just make it more to our liking?

    if the bird flu started spreading between humans, how long would you need to stay quarantined before it was safe to come out??

    Im talking worst case scenario, something like Station 11 or the movie Contagion

    If the bird flu started spreading rapidly from human to human, and it devastated our population as it can in birds or marine life, how long would one have to hole up in seclusion before the virus burned through the population and it would probably be safe to come out.

    Obviously, this is not the current situation, and this scenario is a long way from becoming any type of reality. This is just a hypothetical. If turds hit the fan, I dont want to waste time trying to figure this out in the moment while everyone's ill, and can't answer.

    Move over B's, I want first dibs on the tp!

    Edit: I'm not thinking of a flu, as it behaves in the human population as we know it. I'm talking like zombie virus, without the worry of reanimation. Like, pretty much, everyone that catches it, dies, and it spreads fast and stealthily enough that the end result is a drastically lower population of survivors. How long would a p
