This feels like something an incel would seriously suggest.

When you want to be like Putin so badly you adopt his leadership style:

While watching the debate it was funny watching Trump say she'll end fracking like that's a bad thing (though even with green energy, I do admit we'd still need it for plastic).

I joked "next he'll attack her by saying she'll drive up green energy" then he literally did. Said she'd return to windmills and dare to use desert land for solar panels, oh the humanity xD.

Thing is Trump made his most ridiculous statements highly memeable.

"They're eating the dogs!" is gonna live on like "They're turning the fricken frogs gay!"

That might draw enough of the disinterested crowd to figure out what happened that night.

Or in some cases might crash 8.5 million computers worldwide.

Yes the Crowdstrike crash was caused by going 1 past an array length, caused by a magic number index and a regex mistake, and wasn't caught because the tests didn't work.

The whole thing was a compound series of amateur mistakes, but with kernel access at boot time.

As a pansexual I feel that Bi and Pan have enough differences to both be justified while the others are micro labels (not invalid, just less useful as labels).

But I recognize I'm drawing that line very conveniently for myself.

I have never needed to haul something before and I'd probably need the backseats more than a pickup.

But I really want that now.

This is the Overton Window, the window of acceptable topics for public discourse, and it's unrelated to testosterone (I know, surprising /s).

A misaligned Overton Window (like a slow response to an impending disaster) is hard to counteract because the experts dealing with the topic may lose their credibility by trying to push against the window.

But I have heard the theory that the evolutionary reason for autism may be to counteract this effect. A small amount of genuine vocal concern could encourage others to speak out and break the tension surrounding the topic.

This vocal concern is not however gonna come from the evershifting lies of the X and 4chan echo chambers.

Everyday I would wake up with severely sore arms, like they were clenched somehow.

Blood test said Vitamin D deficiency, but the supplements didn't do anything noticeable. But I was on the border of anemia so they told me to try iron supplements too.

Gone overnight. I'm so used to problems being an exhausting road to recovery that this one took me by surprise.

The people can, but companies still need some kind of income to exist. The owners/ceos will just golden parachute away from the corpse

In order to tangibly pay employees/rent/servers a company needs either profits, subsidies, or ~~a ponzi scheme~~ inflated stocks.
