They can hide what they want, and promote what they like. No need for accounts to vote/share, it can happen behind the scenes. Why have 10k bots to vote on things that you control?

Because bots can do so much more than just vote? They can push narratives, repeat propaganda, and inject talking points directly into conversations in real time. Comment sections are ripe for manipulation.

It’s basically the same thing governments have paid troll farms to do, but now it can be automated.

They also want it to astroturf propaganda on social media.

we can’t know in advance what is in retrospective a spoilerblock-worthy piece of information (Darth Vader was Luke’s father? Eeeeehhh…

This one was obviously going to be a spoiler just based on how it was withheld from the cast and crew of the movie. The only 3 people on set during filming who knew about this were Irvin Kershner (the director), George Lucas, and Mark Hamill - obviously James Earl Jones knew, but his lines were recorded separately. David Prowse’s line on set was “No, Obi-Wan killed your father” so everyone working on the film assumed it was a completely different spoiler.

If you bust out the guillotine, the people who replace them will behave as if they’ve seen what happens when the guillotines get busted out.

in the same position

Important to note that those people would be acutely aware of how vulnerable said position is. People act differently when they’re reminded of their own mortality.

Yeah, kinda like that time Brian Thompson got shot, and the next day United Healthcare ceased to exist.

Their HP definitely went down. And, anecdotally, I heard from a pharmacist friend that they were approving claims like nobody’s business for the next day or so

Yeah but someone mentioned it was Kamala Harris’ birthday and he had nothing disparaging to say. Just wished her a happy birthday. Again, likely the dementia flared up and he couldn’t remember who Kamala Harris was.

It was probably just that he was having a dementia episode at the time, but he seemed genuinely happier than I’ve ever seen him before when he was working that drive thru.

A lot of religious folks “don’t believe in divorce.” So even if the relationship isn’t abusive, they may be incompatible as a couple but just stick with it.

There’s just one problem: Transferring billions of taxpayer dollars would require congressional approval. And Trump has not gotten that.

That’s not a problem, though, because Congress is complicit and refuses to act as a check on executive overreach.

… You needed a whistleblower to tell you this?

I remember having this exact concern when I started masturbating, which was obviously shameful and sinful. Good ol’ Catholic guilt.

I use Mullvad. You can pay with monero and you don’t need to provide any info, no email, phone, or even a username or password. It just generates an account number that serves as your login.

All people are equal, but some people (in this case, the corporate entries that are objectively not people) are more equal than others

That’s why I relocated to the underground city of the mole people.

Why do we need an orphanage in the first place? Is the Orphan Crushing Machine not working?

Trump is the republican party now whether you like it or not. Never Trump Republican is an oxymoron. If you’re a never Trump “republican” you really need to just switch parties at this point, otherwise you’re just a drop of dirty water in an ocean of piss.

First line reminds me of office space

The military isn’t well known for their cuisine. The exception is when they’re about to deliver some bad news. Steak and lobster means you’re about to get shipped off to war.
