When subjects like "The Fourth Turning" and "Pluto in Aquarius" align with a weird Jungian syncronicity, it only makes me more concerned for the future.

At least the Spanish integrated local folk beliefs into Catholicism instead of erasing them and calling out those beliefs as sacrilege and satanic to enforce compliance with the empire. I'm glad that I grew up with siestas and not a Calvinist work ethic that permeates and persists in today's hustle culture.

Lockheed Martin has a fashion line in South Korea, welcome to idk what were in and what to compare it to.

The most common form of LARPing I can think of is Civil War reenactments in Virginia

Folks like Gurner are only making working folks more inclined to French proclivities like Bossnapping.

Christian Nationalism is the greatest threat to the continuity of the United States

I recall Matt Taibi getting caught up in a congressional hearing for contributing to what sounded like Substack Pro when releasing the Twitter files.

As usual, congress had no idea what Substack is or does.

I get the same impression using PS+ and trying to stream some AAA games. Even though I have a 1gbps connection, I'll get timed out from my VM running Deus Ex: Mankind Divided just trying to load a new map sector.

I hope the US would rebuild streets for people and bikes, not autonomous vehicles.

Makes me hope that these POAs will know what Air Traffic Controllers went through in the 80s

Playstation Plus with the streaming package really changed my view on gaming once I got fiber optic piped into my building. The hardware fan doesn't spin up when I stream Ghosts of Tsushima instead of playing locally, essentially turning my PS4 into a thin client for Sony's services.

RIP Gamestop

In developing economies, YouTube has better reach than broadcast TV. I can get a good chunk of old and new content from non Anglo countries overseas right through a YouTube search.

I got banned from r/SanFrancisco for inciting violence asking why Chase Center attendees get tranquilized while aggressive people in the streets of the city don't.

If you read Octavia Butler, you know where we're headed.

Probably because of the big goof that happened at Samsung with their proprietary sauce back in April

Literally the age of any main character in a Shonen anime for these reasons.

I'd even eat into their business and get people elected that would build state/federally funded mixed income non-market social housing

NIMBYism has gone too far

Maybe we should build the full Habitat 67 plan on the old Alameda base

I have faith in the Builder's Remedy and how that invalidates local control when a required housing element plan isn't submitted. Papers in Marin are cringing about the high rise going up on Sloat Boulevard in SF's Parkside/Outer Sunset, I hope Marin ends up worse than Santa Monica with the remedy.

That's what happens when your leadership has third world carbrain (especially as a mode of exclusion) expectations.

Now you're really making me consider the downsides of the India stack.

Lolol, my experience with my Target card where I have to unlock my password manager, autofill my creds and scan a barcode, sounds just like the same kind of fumbling.

Assigning Google Pay to my double press shortcut on my wake button is way less effort.

On the flip side, you have subreddits like 2asean4you where nationalist rhetoric is acknowledged and lampooned in their memes.

There's also so much shared between cultures in the region, like how kakigori evolved into Halo Halo in Manila or how Takoyaki is popular all over the Philippines. Most of the names of our popular foods have names rooted in Hokkien/Southern Min.

Would really love to see the LDP decide to open up immigration for folks from ASEAN member states. The JICA's infra projects in the region are a strong soft power play, and are getting delivered faster than anything funded by the Belt and Road initiative (or at least when I look at the different projects in Metro Manila, they are).

Commenting on the influence of money in politics also qualifies these days.

Please no, I like the square footage I get for my rent. Keep all the startups on the bourgie side of the bridge and tunnel.

I hope Howard Jarvis is turning in his overpriced grave plot

By "some reason" you mean the chaebol plutocracy, right?

Right?

Giving the post office funding to run as an ISP and grant funds for FTTH would be a huge game changer. Maybe work with the department of energy to colocate datacenter next to power generation facilites to become a public cloud.
