I assumed it was just "hire more LGBTQIA+ prison guards!" so-true

It's worse than that. What I've seen recently because of federation is "(verbal performative) support for disadvantaged people as long as they maintain a successful small business in a disadvantaged area for no less than three years and aren't anywhere to the left of Bernie Sanders!"

Go check their history:

"I've been trying to block this community of [r word] cause I keep coming here by mistake, but I can't find the option in Voyager. I keep falling for these stupid troll posts. I mean, people are actually trying to convince me that apartments are better."

Driverless cars are better than meatbag cars acktually

"I agree. NFTs are stupid in their current state, but once VR becomes more immersive, more affordable, and less cumbersome, suddenly they’ll start making a lot more sence."

Imagine bragging about a 15 year old Reddit account

    I don’t believe you’re thinking that far ahead into the future. I’m talking about a world where VR is so immersive that you can’t tell it apart from reality.

    When your virtual goods feel as tangible to you as physical ones, then NFTs will suddenly make sense.

    When I talk about bazinga brains, this is the kind of post I want to have listed as a dictionary example of the term.

    The idea of enforcing scarcity onto inherently nonscarce digital "goods" is one of the purest expressions of capitalist brainworms

    The cryptogrifters assume that their internet funny money will automatically sell and build castles in the sky by planning for how to exploit that automatic success and enshittify it before it even exists.

    In my more conspiracy-brained moments, I sometimes think NFTs are a plot to get people to accept DRM by buying into it in the same way homeownership got people to buy into capitalism in the US and UK.

    This one gets around a lot for some reason, and even evidence to the contrary is "this will only make the bazingamobiles better, one death at a time!"

    Guess what's actually cool, safe, and easy to make driverless? Trains.
