To be fair, the purchased parts are also the spoils of genocide, they’re just second hand.

You might be the only person in here that gets this. There’s a very deep selfishness to the “American dream”. Like crabs in a bucket, you gotta grind to get on top of as many people as possible so that there’s less shit raining down from above. If you’re lucky you’ll have enough society below you that the work you do looks luxurious by comparison.

ok, but how do they know which accounts those are?

Exactly. Hate bluesky for letting them post the inevitable insane shit they’re going to post, not for verifying they’re who they say they are.

What’s the alternative? They have admins ban any and all accounts that might be made by ice or ice personnel? Refusing to validate them doesn’t take them off the platform. They’d still be there, you just wouldn’t know who they were. In fact you still don’t, they could very well have puppet accounts all across blue sky, Lemmy, and all of your favorite instances.

At the very least when this account starts to post insane shit, you’ll know it’s actually them and not some edge lord cosplayer pretending to be ice. A verified account removes the plausible deniability aspect of anonymous posting.

And I’m not being argumentative, I’m asking a genuine question. This is the Gestapo wearing a uniform. If anything, they’re stupid for asking for verification. This is them wearing ICE jackets to the grocery store.

The real test will be how bluesky treats the content this verified account posts. When (and let’s be real, it’ll be when, not if) bluesky refuses to censor this account, then they’ll have proven themselves complicit.

Hornt. Hornt Silkysong.

I’ve got a friend with a lot on his plate in the same boat, so he bought it on steam and used trainers/cheats to make himself invincible. Then it became a playable movie of sorts and he enjoyed the shit out of it. It’s a single player game, don’t let anyone judge you.

We have so much stigma around being poor. I would probably cry myself to death out of joy if I woke up in a world where people felt shame for hoarding wealth.

I didn’t realize Bully came out ~20 years ago. Fuck. I can believe I’m saying this but, it really was a different time.

let me spell it out for you: Why would I want to look at his website at all?

looks best without a browser at all.

is flipping the table a strong first move? Debatable.

If you’re looking for a pulpy noir in that vein, I suggest The Dresden Files.

I want my robot hand to grant wishes.

Just in time for the age of deployment.

Blue needs to do the job and stop leaving it up to green.

Yes, but because the Internet’s power was so concentrated in one place, any hacker that accessed it was granted superpowers like having code projected onto your face, being digitized into an actual computer, or global annihilation.
