The Internet.
That’d remove the circuses from our bread and circuses… and some of us are out of bread
Just wait until Google implements Web Environment Integrity.
We should already be in the streets and we’re not.
I just wish everyone would switch to Firefox.
It is because Chrome has a monopoly, is close enough to monopoly.
While I can see the plus side of being able to identify bots, I don’t think the WEI is the right way to do it, and Google definitely isn’t the right company to be handling it
Plus how do you spot the difference between a good bot and a bad bot? Web crawlers from search engines are for example inherently good, so they should still be able to operate, but if it is easy to register a good bot in WEI, it is also easy to register a bad bot. If it is hard to register a good bot, then you’re effectively gatekeeping the automated part of the internet (something that actually might be Google’s intention).
I was thinking the same thing about Google wanting their bots to be the only ones allowed to crawl and index the internet.
the internet is the first thing they shut down to control riots in authoritatian countries
but how are we supposed to organize gathering times and places to start rioting? on the paper?
Carrier pigeon.
Bridgefy
From their site:
‘Bridgefy is a free messaging app that works without the Internet. Perfect for natural disasters, large events, and at school!’
It works over Bluetooth, and lets you send messages to other users without needing an internet connection. I haven’t used it yet, but the app looks straightforward enough :)

That’s a very complex question that depends on many socioeconomic factors. But the answer is probably porn.
I’m gonna be honest. This is what I was looking for when I asked the question 😂
From my cold, dead, well-lubricated Hands!
This is the first thing that occurred to me.
Then we can just get rid of the rioters and solve several problems at the same time.
lol, first of all, gross.
second of all, there is enough porn to last any average coomer a lifetime.
I mean, agriculture seems like an obvious answer
power generation (Electricity)
Waste Management
When France extended retirement age, waste management stopped cold in solidarity with the protests and its overnight disappearance was supported by most of the population, so I don’t think that’s it.
Yes, but that’s because it motivated them to strike. That’s basically the less violent version of a riot.
Railroading. Not the next day, but probs pretty quick. There’s a reason Biden nipped the railroad strike in the bud, and my theory as to why he’s trying to build up the “pro-union” image again before the election - he really screwed labor in that move.
Maybe you missed the part where he went back and fulfilled that promise to get the railroad workers sick days.

I actually did miss that, thank you for replying. I had been working for a passenger rail company at the time, but ended up leaving my job a little after the big event and didn’t keep up on the news.
That being said, I still think the union could have gotten a much better deal had they been permitted to strike. They were originally asking for 15 paid days (note: I think they would’ve settled lower, but higher than 4). While the deal that was negotiated does help people, it is a far cry from what’s needed. I worked at the best of the railroads (in terms of contract), and that was too much for me. I was on call 6 days a week and worked all 6 of those days for several months straight. I got sick a lot more often in my year on that job than ever before and it’s becuse I didn’t have rest. But again, that was the best contract in the RR, freight workers (at the time at least) were on call for up to 2 weeks at a time, sometimes being called in more than once a day.
I haven’t looked at the new contracts that freight workers are getting now, but I know that 4 days sick leave (7 if you convert your personal days), is not enough, even if they got contracts as good as we had at my company. The railroads use and abuse their employees, and employees should’ve gotten a lot more than they did. A strike would have ground things to a halt, but that’s literally the point. That’s the only card we have as workers and Biden took that away at a pivotal moment.
So I personally still think it was a shit deal, and it still leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I’m glad that workers are getting more now than they were, but they could have gotten more had they not been kneecapped.
I agree with your sentiment and am frustrated at why Dems in general have such a hard time siding with labor and the more progressive wing of the party.
It’s because the overton window has shifted so much that the Democrats only have to give scraps to workers and that is still the best those workers will get from any viable political party. It’s better than what the Republicans are offering which is getting financially pissed on or literally shot.
Exactly. And maybe I’m just a salty leftist, but I don’t think we should thank dems for not pissing on us when they choose to spit on us instead.
I agree with your sentiment. But I don’t fault the party itself for having grown to cover so much turf that there is room for conservatives. I don’t like that and I wish it would fragment and support multiple parties - but alas FPTP.
He got them a few and far far less than they asked for.
But he did go the extra mile. Credit where due. Tfg would have thrown towels at them.
Probably a lot of them. Definitely food distribution though.
The revolution is 3 meals away.
Yeah, exactly. Anything people can’t find an alternative for is bound to cause “creativity” when it disappears.
Shipping.
Alcohol. First the casual drunks get pissy, then the serious drunks get sick.
Food
Grocery stores, logistics (trucking/railway), electricity, petroleum, cocaine
Huh, cocaine? I think would be more chill without it wouldn’t they? And more aggressive etc without their heroin
Yeah, you’re right. Cocaine users would be crashing hard and not feel like rioting. I had been thinking of changing it to opiates.
Information Technology.
Not immediately. But imagine what would happen if the engineers of Google and the other data centers like AWS went down for more than 24h.
Forget 666. The world will end overnight if 8.8.8.8 stops responding to pings.
I don’t think it would be that big of a deal. In comparison to the root DNS servers going down.
Oh. oh no.
Depends if there is still 4.4.2.1
Toilet paper
Not an industry, but if EBT/food stamps payments stopped there would definitely be riots. Not that aren’t already.
