Has someone made an SCP entry for these guys yet? Akin to the one they made for that one IKEA but even more meta somehow?
I’d like to see how this story ends.

Wait, Experian or Equifax?
Cripes, did I miss another one?


I felt I somehow stepped back in time reading this.
A cobbler though, eh? That’s pretty neat.


Nah man, I get where you’re coming from. Adding that “allegedly” vibe can inappropriately sow doubt. The annoying part is it’s probably a liability thing.
As if the media is ever properly held liable for such wrongdoings…


I called this shit 7 months ago. (Check my very first post.)
Now, at that time, there was discussion of “public-private” cooperation concerning the cybersecurity of that data so it could (paraphrasing) “stay in the hands of American people.” Lolol.
No doubt a similar agreement is in place and this shit is vectored directly to the US gov.
(Sorry, I start getting long-winded here.)
Fuck the technocracy. Bunch of cowardly assholes using and clearly planning to use Americans’ personal info against them en masse. The algorithms have manipulated us, pitting wage slave against wage slave. And all that extracted data will continue being utilized in siccing the brownshirts they rabbit-holed and radicalized onto conveniently corralled targets. Us.
We have to fight their algorithm manipulation with not only data poisoning and/or removing ourselves from the tech altogether, but good ol’ fashioned interpersonal psychological manipulation. And what I mean by that is physically talking to humans outside our bubble. Find some common ground. Believe it or not, it still exists. Use seemingly innocuous quips to plant seeds of doubt. Try to reach the human that may or may not still exist in that withered husk you work with, that maga uncle with a maga son so in the closet it hurts, the ones just acting like it’s all okay. Help them see the writing on the wall that they, too, will lose.
By completely disengaging with people we think are beyond redemption, we are possibly allowing so many with a shred of heart left to continue down the rabbit hole in private. People are stupid. And we know this division is by design. Fight it with well-placed words before they do something irredeemable and we have nothing left to fight with but arms.
A vast number of maga figureheads and followers sure seem to be living in a world of shared psychosis. And when you’re in a psychosis, it genuinely feels like everyone’s out to get you for reasons you can only justify with increasingly difficult mental gymnastics. But it’s all manufactured by the very real psychopaths in power, the ones ensuring the cult psychosis keeps perpetuating.
I guess what I’m saying is there’s still time to pull some of these followers or in-betweeners out of it by shifting the focus of what they think they have to fear by showing them what they really need to fear. A spin on killing them with kindness.
Idk tho. I’m just mad all of this dystopian hatred shit didn’t just stay inside all the books I read growing up.


Right?? I unironically love plain (buttered) noodles and even more so ramen with a plain can of tuna. Nice plain savory food. Homely but homey.
And yeah sure, considering the amount of money I’ve wasted on delivery the last month, I could afford the bougie recipe, but *why bother when this is actually pretty friggin tasty?
Health. Probably for health. Oh well. Itadakimasu.


Something about his previous arrests doesn’t sit right with me. There’s a lot of missing context.
Regarding the 2023 arrest for trespassing, why was he trespassing at a psychiatric facility in the first place? Was he having an episode and shaking his fist at the system that continues to fail him or was he concerned about someone inside? Why would something like trespassing go to trial and to the point he was found not competent to even stand trial?
I don’t know, there are simply too many missing pieces. And from too many of us the uncritical answer comes: “That man is crazy and has been all along.”


Would not be surprised in the least.
Now folks, let’s remember…
We DO get to know new friends and neighbors with relatively open discussion on lemmy.
We DON’T share intimate details of planned resistance, identifying yourself and/or outing your town. That’s just… Just don’t do that.
This is where I chime in with a haven’t you people ever heard of closing the goddamn door, nooo
It’s much better to shutyertraps
Uhhhh, so I might be able to give you a hint …
Can’t figure out if AI, shop job, or modern art piece…
Or maybe some guy took adderall for the first time, idk


I have this sinking feeling November 17 is significant.
I don’t know if it’s because an update to the insanely invasive PeePal account privacy policy that I actually read goes into effect that day, or because it’s just shy of two weeks after election day, a day by which most states have (or should have) certified their results, or what.
Maybe it’s because it’ll have been just enough time since things “snapped” for those who can’t take the exhaustion and emptiness another week, the ones who know they can no longer absorb their child’s hunger, to realize they are being forced to make heretofore unfathomable decisions to function, let alone remain alive, mere days before they see and hear and maybe even smell their feckless neighbors gorging themselves in malicious ignorance, and jesus christ my-god-where-are-you they want us to be thankful for this shit???
But there they’d have em, their scapegoats for yet another heavily manufactured Penultimate Crisis.
I’m high and I hate everything.
Okay I love some things but I hate everything about this.


Everyone should keep in mind: Besides the darkened tone of the world seeping into nearly everything, this place is probably crawling with shit-stirrers of a slightly subtler flavor than your typical obnoxious troll.
This effect might be from lemmy users in general hating everything about the world right now, or it might be the work of bots and/or illicitly paid humans fronting as the “general left.” The type that reflects your viewpoints pretty well but injects their comments with a little something extra, inflaming you or depressing more than what seems reasonable, maybe pushing you a little closer to the edge, whatever that edge may be.
We (or at least I) have no idea how much astroturfing is happening in the comments. It’s probably best to take anything that seems peculiarly provocative with a grain of salad.


Do not fucking trust the ends of these seemingly reasonable means.
Should we really count on this department and its affiliates to quality control and dole out these substances in a scientifically accurate and medically approved manner during treatment?
What’s stopping these purveyors from issuing you an altered or “experimental” version of these drugs, with or without your knowledge?
What happens if you “unexpectedly” experience a psychotic break or some other severe mental crisis as a result of these drugs and, buried somewhere in the fine print you signed, your rights to discontinue the regimen and seek further treatment independently are suddenly, simply, out of your hands?
Because this man and those around him will gleefully schlep you to a “wellness farm” instead.
You follow?
Just… Jesus Christ just please read the fine fuckin print of any drug “trial” you sign yourself up for.

Talk about burying the lede. Yet another plain-as-day admission by Trump that this is not and was never going to stop at immigrants.


How soon could one expect the g3stapo to storm one’s front door if one posted her home address for all her “constituents” to see?
But I mean, it is publicly available info, quite easy to find if you look in the right places… Plus she probably already has full-time staff sorting through all those shipments of syringes packed with puppy poop she must get… Probably.
Only asking for a friend.


Someone smarter than me needs to look at S*uth D@kota and help put the pieces of this odd puzzle together. (Made a new acct just in case I’m on to something here.)
This university is well known for its cyber-security work with the feds and happens to be working mighty closely with the current SD governor (probably with the help of crusty gnome herself) and some big-talking billionaire to try to buy Tiktk.
If you thought Amazon was bad… A “public-private partnership?” God knows what that would mean for controlling the algorithm and extracting data from unwitting users, i.e. a shitton of Americans.
Fun fact: Just up the road, a massive multi-billion-dollar data center is planned and the company, Applied Tech (which looks like a front tbh), is currently trying to get zoning laws passed in a county of a few thousand people, a county whose board of potential rubes doesn’t understand tech to the point their commission meeting minutes were auto-recovered according to the downloaded file name.
Wanna bet the new power plant planned to go up nearby exists almost exclusively to power this data center’s virtually unlimited crypto mining operation primarily publicized as “just doing AI stuff”?
A final fun fact for good measure: S.D. is a tax safe haven for corporations and is also one of only a few places where “dynasty trusts” can exist in perpetuity.
Maybe it’s all a coincidence, but it sure seems like all of this put together spells disaster. How much dark money stands to hide in SD and places like it? Exactly how would the state’s regulations (i.e. the lack thereof) facilitate this Tktk “rehoming” scheme seemingly filled with ill intent?
The TACO might just be pushing the deadline off so that the feds can get their ducks in a row in how they, too, can capitalize on this venture.
The crusty gnome clearly sold out the state for something. Technocracy perhaps?
