I honestly have no idea what the ultimate machinations behind such a plan would be, I don’t even believe that’s necessarily the case, just something which strikes me as almost so ridiculously bad, that it has to be fake. Maybe I’m just an optimist, hell if I know…
But to give into flights of fancy, one of the reasons why I could see someone wanting to prolong a massive conflict (maybe even two!) would be to sell weapons and generally implements of war. Would track with past behaviour. I’m sure there are plenty of other imaginable economic and political reasons, but that’s beyond speculation.
They did start selling weapons to any citizen who can enter a store, ask, and pay for one while there were no conflicts quite on this scale going on, which may or may not be just a coincidence. Again, haven’t the foggiest and this is all in good… uuh… fun, I guess.
Now with even less life satisfaction?
Y’know… If I were just a liiittle bit more paranoid, this would start looking like it’s all planned out. Make the other guy so bad that people will basically have to choose between ‘mild’ genocide and a complete lunatic who wants to create a Theo-Fascistic Middle Ages kingdom.
I’m honestly not chipping into the debate, firstly because this particular moral quandary is a Kobayashi Maru type deal, secondly because I’m not American so it’s not my place. Just random thoughts…
Shit will get REALLY real when we reach five-fold! Or better yet, touch-papyrus! Just roll that meter-long flab of screen up, and you’re good to go!
To be fair, I think research on mammoth cloning started a good while ago and, if scientific research is anything like a start-up (spitballing here, I have no clue), doing a massive reorientation mid-process ends up costing more in the long term. At this point, it’d be easier to just finish figuring stuff out with mammoths then adjusting and applying the process on other entities/purposes.
Still MFW we’re cloning woolly mammoths on a boiling planet. Lol. Lmao, even.
Right?! I didn’t even think twice about it, like of course he’d add an “x” to whatever he makes next! I mean, what’s he got left, “y” and “z,” and neither has any of that edgy zing.
Yep, that’s exactly it! Dexerto has apparently existed as a general social outlet for a while, from what I’ve gathered. Overall media coverage.
Completely unrelated to Mulch’s new thing.
Edit: would’ve been a sick burn (my opinion), but now I just feel bad:))
Upon reading the title again, I now realise Dexerto were just reporting on it… Woo, 420 no-scope!
Gonna leave the original up, let’s all laugh at that guy!
Was it intentionally named after the Italian word for “desert” (deserto) because he expects it to be a dried up wasteland, or was it just a coincidence?
Because that would, at one point, imply a full process audit, which will inevitably lead to some shit-stirring, especially in terms of management’s contribution to said output, making it much easier for the worker to see just how underpaid they are and probably hurting some manager’s feewings. We can’t have the truth! Better to Love Big Brother and blame the Drone!
The jokes are becoming reality, I swear…
Multiple different perspectives FTW!
At this point, in my completely layman’s opinion, I believe they’re a cult. Or at least they meet a lot of the common criteria, even down to isolation/alienation and the threat of rejection/retribution as a result of refusal to participate.
I stand corrected!
In this point we disagree, and this being the internet, I feel the need to specify that I’m not being combative, nor mean any disrespect toward your preferences or beliefs.
In my opinion, we’re at the point where we have other, bigger things to prioritise over creature comforts.
I honestly don’t see the fitness tech in itself as useless, it holds clear benefits for us. I’m just not one to encourage creating increasingly wasteful and predatory iterations of said tech.
I think size is the wrong point of comparison, considering this is literally pointless tech. I’m not opposed to wearables, but we’re just not at the point where we have small and relevant enough tech to make a ring more advantageous than a fitness band.
Plus we really need to prioritise repairability in all cases, regardless of the tech’s application. I’d say we shouldn’t even produce something we couldn’t then subsequently fix if the need should arise.
Samsung Galaxy Ring, or How To Sell eWaste For 500 Bucks Apiece.
I’m mostly getting product ads on YouTube, but they’re so poorly planned and low-effort that they annoy the everloving spit out of me… In all regards, streaming services have officially become at least as bad as cable tv used to be…
Eggy farts. Eggy farts aaall day long! Especially during the company meeting!
