      We really should have educational bumper stickers for passersby/fellow motorists to properly inform them of certain facts. In the interest of increased awareness of these and other current events, of course. A civic duty, even. 🤷🏼‍♂️

      Robin Hood figures comparatively - the AI execs stole our data, our resources, and fucked the supply lines on more than we can imagine AND they’re using it to power fascist surveillance apparatuses.

      Anything to hurt the suits in their pockets is a win for the people.

        It’s not just about hurting executives. Hindering data center operations is honestly a public service.

        So I know I’m in several lil online bubbles where most people agree with me, and maybe that’s tainting my perspective, but I’m noticing more and more folks at work and out and about that seem to be completely fucking fed up and getting angrier

          I truly hope it’s not just your bubble.

          I keep seeing stuff on folks wrecking those public spy cameras and I almost start thinking people might wake up.

            Same here, I just don’t think it in me to actually hope again, the despair that could follow might actually kill me

              That the funny thing about hope. It’s a choice, not a feeling.

              Or something like that. It was a nugget of wisdom from the K-pop movie my kids watched a million times.

                So I know sports ain’t huge on Lemmy, but I was an Atlanta and UGA sports fan from the day I way born. Until 2021 there had been over 500 seasons of the teams I loved over around 150 years with something like 5 championships, only one I was alive for and it was the team I gave the least fuck about. The number of “almost getting to the mountain top and coming up heartbreakingly and comically short” I experienced during that time, and reality over the past 10 years has taught me one very helpful if not hopelessly bleak axiom, “without hope there can be no despair”

                I want good things to happen, and will work for them to happen, but I’m not believing until I see it, because I can’t handle the highs and lows of that roller coaster anymore.

    Everyone joked about meth heads, but it was always going to be organized and seni-organized crime.

    If a single semi trailer has over 1 million dollars worth of anything in it, people are going to want it.

    When it’s materials like cable that can’t be tracked and can be easily sold to corrupt contractors…

    A lot of smart people are really going to want it. Those trailers are going to be like tide for organized crime, they won’t even bother converting it into cash, it’ll be used as direct currency.
