That’s right. You see, according to Cocteau’s plan, I’m the enemy. Because I like to think, I like to read. I’m into freedom of speech, freedom of choice. I’m the kind of guy who would sit in the greasy spoon and think “Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the big rack of Barbecued spare ribs with the side order of gravy fries?” I WANT high cholesterol. I want to eat bacon, butter and buckets of cheese alright? I want to smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinatti in a non-smoking section. I wanna run around naked with green jell-o all over my body reading a Playboy magazine. Why? Because maybe I feel the need to okay pal? I’ve SEEN the future, you know what it is. It’s made by a 47 year-old virgin in gray pajamas soaking in a bubble bath, drinking a broccoli milkshake and thinking “I’m an Oscar-Meyer Wiener”. You wanna live on top, you gotta live Cocteau’s way. What he wants, when he wants, how he wants. Your other option: come down here, maybe starve to death.
BS - the governments can now, easily, make it law because you’ve proven to them it’s technically feasible. You just claim you’re taking a voluntary stand which has about as much meaning as screwing over developers in your App Store
Don't achieve!
Achievement means failure!
Achievement means you're different than normal people!
Achievement means you think you're better than other people!
Achievement means nothing!
Don't try - just stay with the herd!
“Among all the photos of the game, @Reuters has chosen this one, which only shows how ugly they are,” the Chinese embassy of Sri Lanka tweeted Saturday.
So... you admit she's ugly? I mean, at least say Reuters tried to make her look ugly rather than picking a photo showing how ugly she is...
In 2067, an unknown disease struck Japan and was countered by an experimental vaccine. In actuality, the disease was created by Daiwa and the "vaccine" was used as an excuse for Daiwa to begin testing experimental nanotechnology. Every Japanese citizen was converted into a form of synthetic life. But there were unforeseen side effects; the conversion was imperfect, resulting in the infected humans losing their free will and becoming just lifelike machines. Some of the nanotech went amok, creating the "Jags", giant whirling constructs of semisentient metal that prowl the wilderness. The Jags destroyed all of Japan, save Tokyo which is protected by an inedible wall of ceramic.
Not Star Trek:TOS. Kirk was banging green chicks every other week and when he wasn't it was Spock's turn.
Watch the scene in Space Seed again (especially in light of recent events) where Kirk and McCoy are lauding their romanticism for Khan.
This all changed with TNG where Roddenberry (not unlike Lucas) started believing his own press about being a visionary and decided the future would be socialist and woke, up to and including where the federation happily zaps "native" brains to "protect" themselves or moves whole civilizations to different planets as "caretakers". Frightening stuff. Part of this though also has to do with cultural changes over time too - Star Trek VI deals directly with woke ideology (while burying the most interesting part of the story where klingons and humans work together to make sure that klingons and humans remain divided). Star Trek IV is still a laughable premise.
This wasn't JUST star trek though - in the 70s there was a concerted effort, not unlike today, to instill leftist thought into the children, especially through PBS. See "Free to be You and Me" which was shown to my school class several times. Scholastic literature would go to great pains to show mixed race interactions. The Electric Company, created in 1971, was totally "woke" for its day with "full representation" - which at that time meant white, black and hispanic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VS4zHta30tc&t=206s
TL;DR - this has been a coordinated effort spanning decades to control the populace
Umm... That's not a "strike". They're not employees. TikTok owes them nothing.
At BEST that's a boycott but I don't think it's even that because they still have their accounts and are still using the service.
Marxists... pure morons.
Further destruction of science and reason for politics.
You see this in totalitarian oppressive societies like China and Russia. Not in free societies.
