I was riffing on the original and translated titles of foucault’s most well known work. whether it was sarcasm or not; 🤷‍♀️

also, generally, you want your data going as few places as possible. not to beijing, not to washington, not to palo alto.

what’s the word for a thing that worms its way into your life, makes you depend on it, then uses that to exploit and damage you?

there’s a word for that.

okay but consider that you don’t have as much surveilance of your employees, and without that, how are you supposed to discipline them?

…cluttered? the fuck?

has this fucker seen a cubicle? why did she allow it?

the america that could have been.

it WAS dealt with pretty quick, but yeah I bet it’s still pretty absurd, even if they at least ask… some questions?

basic state logic.

they’re incapable of sucking less. their whole episteme is about centralizing, about reducing thought the farther it gets from the central authority (whether that’s one guy, a class, or a building like the pentagon), but you CAN increase violence, threaten, flatten, disable, basically wherever.

for several years in the early 00’s, the process for getting security clearance involved no background check, just knowing who to ask. they literally rubber stamped it.

getting a fed job or something still did, but just security clearance, on its own, for anyone? just ask. not even nicely.

of course.

yep. I know if it wasn’t unusable trash I might not have come over to lemmy.

of course that asshole uses he/him pronouns.

and nope, not interested in proxies, only perfect opposites.

they outnumber the ‘tech crowd’ because we use technology to infantilize outselves, of which this is a prime example.

in general. plenty of reasons you might be here, could just be reddit got unusable.

im actually in favor of charging them for this, and using the most overpriced government contractor you can find, with some absurd conditions about how visible they can be from outside (not at all) etc. maybe add an expensive certification. if their heritage is really that expensive, they can pay out the ass for it.

or, gouge them just the same, and give all the money to the SPLC or something.

also, date each statue was comissioned constructed and finished.

and a reminder of the names of every piece of shit who voted for it. addresses, for the ones who are still alive.

why make them agree?

remind them of an actual civil war hero, and just take them down, killing any CSA fuckers who get in your way?

if we need the materials for anything, or it gets too expensive to keep in a box, sure. lets not give this scrap priority over other scrap.

because you’re no fun and don’t want to install a proper cat door.

kinda what psychopomps are for, yeah.
