That’s haunting.

I just created another account on piefed, because someone said it had repost deduplication. I still browse using both, but the other shows up a newb.

I’ll bite.

Rather than go and look it up, which would ironically probably be less effort than asking this question: what’s Beksińskian art?

If it doesn’t work, force it. If it breaks, it needed replacing anyway.

Doveryay, no proveryay

I’ll be back.

You must bring us… a shrubbery!

Most heads of state of western democracies do not have the authority to enact such measures, much less in so short a deadline. And their political opponents will simply drag their feet on any approval process and let you eliminate a rival. Most of the billionaires live in countries without a dictator (quite yet, anyway) who could comply, even if they wanted to.

Esperanto is going to be in the lower left somewhere.

The issue with the graph isn’t the contents, it’s the axes. What’s “objectively easy” for Europeans is not necessarily objectively easy for Asians.

Remember those found-footage style videos that were going around a decade or so ago, where there was this mysterious figure in black who just appeared and was offing criminals in fairly graphic ways? There was speculation that it was a viral ad for some anti-hero superhero movie, but it never materialized.

That’s the way. Be mysterious. Be featureless. Don’t talk. Give them no way to track you after it wears off: appear, do, disappear. Repeat for 48 hours, then disappear.

I still think it wouldn’t last long. The temptations of power and wealth will override any fear; after year, it’ll be back to business as usual. 5 years later, it’d be mostly forgotten.

Now, if you could parse out 48 hours in 2 hour chunks over 12 years, with a couple of “examples” every year at random times, that might have a lasting effect. Do it 4 years in a row, give it a break for 2 or 3 years and let people think it night be over and strike again… that would probably have a more lasting effect. But I still think, at some point after your powers run out a decade or two at most and the shenanigans would start again. Humans believe what they want to believe, and what they’re best at deluding themselves and is “that can’t happen to me.”

That’s a pretty good starting list. I don’t know that I’d waste time trying to show them anything; just go straight to disposal.

I, too, was thinking “murder.” It solves only a sort term problem though. Within a few years, you’d just have a new batch.

The system is broken. Capitalism as we practice it is broken; our political systems are broken (some more than others). That won’t be fixed by DXing a bunch of oligarchs.

Time to defederate Feddit.org.

To bad. They weren’t that bad, IME. But denying criticism of a state actively carrying out a globally recognized genocide… that’s a strict rule I’ve adopted.

If midwest.social won’t defederate, I’ll have to block the whole instance.

More uncomfortable how, exactly?
