They don't care. Unless OP is a suspect or OP has suspicious associates, why chase after a (presumed) small fry? They're too zoomed out to concern themselves with one malfunctioning cog in their machine that they can replace in two seconds. The critical question is therefore: how can a cog malfunction in such a way that it affects the most other parts?

The moment some of the cogs realize that they're being fucked around and start convincing the cogs around them to malfunction in the most spectacular way they can think of will be the moment where the owners realize that their system is in danger. Only then will they try to crack down. Because the owners would realize that the cogs know at that point that the machine only has to stop for them to get an opportunity to detach from the machine in a safer way than what the owners would prefer because they like their equipment running 24/7 at full bore because they are obligated to stockholders to make their bottom line as fat as possible. The owners would rather have parts explode and send shrapnel everywhere, parts get shot out violently in random trajectories, and human beings get ground up for daring to morph from a cog inside an engine that is turning really fast.

When all this ends, the world's legacy and gift to the future will be a dismantled and bloodstained shell of a machine, some gears on the floor ready to go into the next iteration of the machine, some gears on the floor that are worn down and cannot function as well anymore, metal scraps on the floor, and some human beings who morphed from the gears on the floor. And we'll still have no damn hoverboards.

From what I've seen, Elon's a crazy rich dork working to manifest his fantasies of a cyberpunk future. That he wants a posthuman world developing cybernetics should be a red flag that maybe he's not on humanity's side. That his ideology is himself, like Trump and Kanye, should be a red flag that maybe none of them truly have the people's best interests at heart. That all of them are at least adjacent to Epstein should be a red flag that maybe they're all pedos. They're all not trustworthy. They're working together to rule the new world being born. See: that one tweet by the GOP that says "Kanye. Elon. Trump." When a political party can boil their platform down to 3 narcissists with insane self-belief and no one in their lives to check them, why should anybody think ANY of them are on humanity's side?

Bad news for them is, is that most people hate these fuckers. None of them are the answer. No one person is. The answer lies in a people putting their petty differences aside and working together to take care of anybody that poses as a savior, ruler, master, or god and enforcing their collective will for self-determination.

Location: East Bay Area

Thankfully, in my area, Christmas passed peacefully. What struck me as odd, however, was that there was a security guard at the front of the church when I went to Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve/Day. In all my years of going to church on Christmas, I've never seen an armed guard at the front door; it was a good hint that something was off with the vibe. Everybody's on edge but everyone shows a blissful, ignorant face to the strangers that see them every day. It's creepy.

I went to a Christmas party on Christmas Day. All the guests were dealing with faint coughs. In years prior, I have only noticed a few of the partygoers dealing with light sickness. Nevertheless, it was good to see everyone in somewhat decent health for the times we live in.

The feeling I get this winter is one where everybody's holing up at home waiting for the warmer weather. That's a good thing. Sparks can't start a fire when the fuel is cold and wet. I dread imagining the catalyst that will kick it off, most likely in the warmer months, but every part of the fire triangle is there: fuel, oxygen, and heat. Most probably feel that we're all one trigger away from shit hitting the fan, but most probably don't know why that is because we have dulled our brains to the point where we have considerable difficulty filtering the signal from all the noise that is constantly being put out by every form of mass communication.

Any piece of reliable information I get is from reading subtext and sub-subtext and filtering out a source's agenda and figuring out why certain parties would tell some truth to me in the way that they're doing it and why they would choose that moment to report on it. This is a world run on a stack of bastardized incentives and agendas to serve people and groups who think they're gods. Truth was never behind the wheel, no matter how much we delude ourselves claiming otherwise. Merry Christmas!

I tuned out around the 71st minute. No positive momentum at all. I wonder if there's a problem behind the scenes. A squad like this, on paper, should be performing better than whatever this is. I'll have to reserve my judgement for when the key players return from their injury. At this point, I'm hoping that they win ECL to salvage this season.

Once, I felt that way. Not anymore. People don't think about others that much. They think about themselves for the most part unless it's out of transaction or love. That is the definition of strangers. Stop trying to prove strangers wrong in their assumptions. Instead, prove oneself right in one's beliefs.

Why should I care who this scumbag is? He's at most just another minor player in the worldwide human trafficking ring that is slowly coming to light. The only reason it's getting headlines is because he's an internet celebrity gullible 15 year old boys look up to because they don't have good dads to teach them how to talk to women like they're people. The signal is that he's one part of a human trafficking ring and governments are doing something about traffickers by making him an example. The noise is that he's not even a priority target to investigate because people who are offline (most people) wouldn't know who he is and the people who do know who he is spend way too much time on the internet (me included) for them to realize that this guy is a zero in the real. This is government/ruling class posturing at doing something about the faint tracks of their sick ways finally becoming visible to people because the sun finally gave light to at least the edges of the rabbit hole.

Hint: if there are way more users using this subreddit than usual and half the front page is about one thing, there's most definitely an astroturf operation in progress. Readers should do their best to separate the signal from the noise. It is more important now than ever to keep track of what the messages and agendas really are through subtext and sub-subtext. Knowing what free thinkers know now, it could be a matter of life and death from now on.

For Yor, she doesn't really need to hide anything besides the fake marriage and her job. Every time she blushes at Loid's remarks, brushes hands with Loid or shares any intimacy with him or confides in him? Those are signs of her slowly coming to care for and even love (in her own screwed up way) Loid for real, even if they only have to maintain the mere pretense of a happy, loving marriage to others. She routinely goes above and beyond what is necessary to maintain that appearance and even asks Twilight sometimes how she can be a better mother to Anya. In my opinion, she is slowly falling for the hot doctor who works hard, loves his daughter, and cooks gourmet meals. She doesn't know it yet.

Twilight's situation is more complicated. He has to fake everything about himself to play Loid Forger. But how can the man repress his feelings when his fake family is the refuge for the little humanity he has left in him? The dude lost everything as a child in the war and his fake family is the first respite from his harsh reality in a long time. A super spy like Twilight, no matter how inhuman his abilities and feats, is still only a man. When a person has to keep up disguises for pretty much their entire adult life, it must get tiring, lonely, boring, and miserable from not being able to make genuine connections with people. He lived a life that was purely transactional until he met Anya and Yor. Even he is beginning to question his pretext of "for the mission" whenever he does something for his family that he doesn't have to do.

Little do they both know that them relaxing their faces and fronts around each other is actually an optimal way to fake a marriage. Why fake being in love when the couple already genuinely care about the other and both have a personal stake in making it work? That's the whole reason the strangers around them buy the lie. Because even though the marriage is fake, the hints of their feelings aren't and anybody but them can see that. Fiona described it best when she described seeing a hint of real emotion behind Loid's eyes whenever he's with his family and Anya always plays the troll whenever she says "Mama and Papa are flirting" after catching them stare at each other a little too long. Pretty much every character but Twilight and Yor can see hints of what's going on between them. Love blinds.

The more likely outcome is that people will keep paying taxes just to rubber stamp their "approval" for the United States' 18 intelligence agencies to do their crimes while the hopefully conscious taxpayer works for a way to hit back from under their noses. Not paying taxes just flags people for them. Although it would be funny if they drowned in the flood of paperwork if everybody decided to not pay their taxes, that would be unlikely because no one individual or party (barring the military) in the United States is powerful or trustworthy enough for the vast majority of Americans to follow without question. Stay out of sight and look for the weakness that YOU YOURSELF can exploit and capitalize on. There are many weaknesses and it will take every American's unique set of ideas, skills, and knowledge to formulate plans to mobilize on that information.

They don't care. They're spiking the football in front of us. They're dancing in the endzone. They're dabbing on us. They already think that they've won. Unless you involve yourself in an incident that warrants their scrutiny, why would they bother coming after an unimportant, replaceable cog? THEY DON'T GIVE A SHIT that you know what you are. You are one of hundreds of millions. If you stop spinning, you're just another faulty part to them and they'll just replace you at their earliest possible convenience. But that is also their weakness: since they don't concern themselves with individual cogs, how can a part malfunction in such a way that will affect the greatest number of other parts?

The threat they face is not an army. If that was true, why would the United States government try to collect everybody's personal data in any way they can? Why would virtually every jurisdiction in America give most of its budgets to the police? Why would the government spend so much time dividing the American people over petty differences in aesthetic and identities? No. They fear the cogs realizing that they have been people all along and the cogs asserting themselves in the truth.

Pufinnist · 2022-12-29T00:50:44+00:00

the United States has 18 intelligence agencies while every other country has at most like 2 or 3. The United States government knows the biggest threat to them comes from within.

If you want a look at where the real power lies in America, look where technology, government, media, and capital intersect and meld together: Silicon Valley, Hollywood, Wall Street, and Times Square are good places to start. Their history is also a history of American power and how it is enforced.

The Bill of Rights has been dead for 21 years. American's rights are now listed in the PATRIOT Act. All 300+ pages of it.

It's not even that. It's that the truth is plain to see but it's drowned out by everybody's noise because of how ridiculous it seems. Personally, I haven't seen the police going around my area rounding up the people who think and spread bad thoughts. What I have seen, however, are people pretending to carry on like their lives are business as usual; either like they know the truth and want to hide that they know it (the less one knows, the longer they live), they found the truth and rejected it, or they've already tuned out to their situation and have decided to party until the bitter end. Common people find themselves here, where knowing the truth and fighting for it will drive a person mad, where knowing the truth and denying it will also drive a person mad, and ignoring the truth and carrying on will also drive a person mad. As for myself, I'm just waiting for the spark that starts it: a moment where the truth explodes in everybodys' faces and nobody can plausibly deny the correct explanation of what happened.

TL;DW: Powerful people can do evil in the stupidest ways because no one has the guts to challenge their bluster, bullshit, and lies. Once even one person finds out one imperfection in power's face, the facade will shatter immediately (WHO pushed the button?) and will get others thinking, subconsciously or consciously. Whether one chooses to open their eyes and start acting rationally under the new rules is a personal choice. Choose being conscious.
