I love that this is pronounced Arr Poo (ARPU)

And today I love a stranger. Wonderful!

It is at Amazon, at least now. Twice I’ve gotten used for new. I’m not shopping there if I can possibly avoid it at this point.

It’s no wonder more people than ever are skeptical of public health organizations and mainstream experts who claim to possess the final word on health and nutrition, when there is so much proof that information has been censored and even doctored in order to push a certain message that will help corporations like Procter & Gamble become richer and richer.

Like… Just wait till you hear about sugar and the lies around that.

What… is this Rio? Hahah.

Those extra arms are suuuper creepy!

Kinda have mixed feelings about this. Those who are innocent know that they are on the list at the cost of their SSN or national ID. Bit of a mixed blessing there.

Also, a bunch of truly bad actors will be compromised. Maybe that’s good?

Hmm. Dunno how to feel.

If it builds and runs for me, I may build a Windows installer for it…

I AM SO STOKED!

Kinda like the US used the twin towers to justify a “war on terror”?

Definitely not preventable, definitely.

Quexotic,

Not beyond plausible deniability.

I believe that they had enough information to have prevented it and failed to do so to the extent that it was intentional or that it was profoundly negligent. I remember investigations afterwards turning up some troubling evidence.

Consider this too… If Japan is a known aggressor, and you want to be prepared, why do you keep your pacific fleet in a state of anything less than high alert?

In both cases, the events did much to motivate a nation to support a war.

I don’t believe that anyone (least of all myself) in the general public will ever have all the answers, but the manufacture of consent is a dark business. If you don’t have trust issues, you should.

Another prime example is government agencies manufacturing the drug epidemic and using the proceeds to fund black ops.

So that’s the long answer, the short answer is that I don’t have enough faith to believe 100% that they weren’t. The track record isn’t stellar and while it’s clear they didn’t pull the trigger, there are numerous inconsistencies.

I do believe that jet fuel along with the contents of the building can and does melt steel beams. Lol.

None of which is meant to convince anyone, rather to illustrate a lack of trust.

No. My memory suits me fine and I couldn’t care less whether I convince anyone. I’m expressing my distrust and explaining why, not writing an essay. I think your expectations are a bit high for a frustrated diatribe written by an absolute stranger while watching TV. 😁

Regardless, if you want to trust the government, have at it. Feel free to consider me as just another geriatric fool shouting at clouds.

At the very least both incidents were used to manufacture consent in a devious way, in the twin towers case to start a war that is even now considered to be completely unjustifiable. Consider Joe biden’s advice to Benjamin netanyahu “Don’t make the same mistake we did” no doubt referring to our reaction to the destruction of the towers and his subsequent beating of the war drums.

In the case of Pearl harbor, even if there was some sort of conspiracy behind just negligence, it was a justified act to involve the country in a war that would otherwise have reached our doorstep regardless.

I do sincerely hope you have a pleasant day. Take care internet stranger 😁

Why thank you. I think my English teacher would disagree. Improper format. I think she call it a diatribe.

What was the where now? I don’t think you can amplify with a lens… Do you mean lens? I’m pretty sure that’s not how that technology works. I’m very confused as to what you’re trying to say!

Edit: perhaps I didn’t hear you over this really loud water, hombre.

Quexotic,
@Quexotic@sh.itjust.works avatar

Just out of curiosity how long have you been using the internet? Like, in years, not just today.

Quexotic,
@Quexotic@sh.itjust.works avatar

I had a 2600 baud modem and I liked it. About 30.

I’ve been messing with you. The episode of X-Files I was watching was boring.

Do have a nice day. Feel free to DM me. This was fun

Brilliant

…And charge pennies on the dollar!

Or, as soon as the mfgrs stop making parts for my car, I should get a refund of a certain amount of the purchase price of the car.

When my phone goes out of support, I get a refund of %x of the cost. The mfgrs can keep the money in the mean time and earn interest.

Disincentivise planned obsolescence.

Seriously. I don’t think I can buy another switch device. Next time it’ll have to be a steam deck or clone.

I am very interested, commenting to bump!

Sounds interesting. Wish it wasn’t paywalled.

No worries, it’s appropriate.

It’s odd though, the rest of OP’s content is pretty good…
