The absurdity of him actually reading a newspaper. A tabloid like the nypost would be a challenge.

I date her for the RAM.

I don’t really understand virtue anticapitalisim at all. Moralisim vs materialism should be pretty settled but here we are.

I wouldn’t worry about it as the artist (you) obviously was depicting power transformers and thus only showed power transmission as necessarily not telephony.

Ralph is just the third wheel.

She was blackballed by a lineman.

Well I’m a 340 pound 6’6" nurse so I don’t.

I think this is still in my mom’s house somewhere. She still watches VHS.

Molly millions/Sally shears/steppin razor and her mirror shades. Really though armitage is peak cyberpunk in that story. Deranged, tragic, and inevitable destruction.

Representative governments are generally oligarchic and blinded by previous power balances. True democracy like sortition lets the deliberative body hear from a member of a minority that they will revolt or become non participatory if you do a certain action. Then the greater body can decide if that’s worth paying attention to. It’s a level of agility that is frankly only available in true democracies and very rare in both autocracies and oligarchies. Where sortition is poor isn’t tyranny of the majority. It’s poor in identifying power structures that are completely unrelated to popular power. Most of those power structures, however, are illegitimate.

The role of the government is to thread the needle of identifying who has power (including your common labor) and creating a consensus among them that prevents a civil war. It however usually becomes captured and ossified and is unable to identify when certain power blocks have reached their red lines that will topple the whole damn thing until a new government forms. Mandate of heaven essentially. Paternalistic or will of the people are legitimacy building frames but the reality is always material.

Well what if my thesis is actually that whoever I’m replying to is an asshole but I want to soften them up first.

Dig hole.

Oracle runs into the one thing investors hate to do in late stage capitalism: actually building capital intensive infrastructure. Sure this case is for nonsense, but it’s a rule across the board.

Thank you for creating Microsoft Comic Chat content.

Well you’d have to become an apprentice mason to find out.

She was gonna slap his ass.

The defendant usually waives their right to a speedy trial in felony cases and asks for continuances pre trial, which his lawyers did in this federal case.
