"prepper" vs "Prepper" with a capital "P".

The first learns and practices actual useful skills -- gardening, food preservation, repairing their own things, etc. The later are dorks buying a ton of unnecessary shit shilled by right-wing influencers cosplaying as "entirely self-sufficient".

That's the joke.

This is a parody of twitter posts made by actual "anti DEI/woke" dipshits. The format is identical to their posts "fixing" modern female video game characters that don't look like sex dolls.

I get the impression she has very little "real world" experience, particularly with people.

This is 100% speculation, but I wouldn't be surprised if it checks the length of the subscription when connected to a network, then tracks that with a built in clock. There's also incentive to frequently connect it to a network since the company constantly "updates the algorithm" it uses to detect crashes and deploy.

I suspect it would stop working once you hit the end of whatever period it knows you're "paid up" for.

They have significant weight on the general population: layoffs, actual inflation decreasing value of wages, etc.

The problem is corporate greed and artificial scarcity also have a significant impact on the general population.

Weird how the "Me Generation" called millennials the "Me Me Me Generation".

For all intensive purposes it's the same difference as "at you're disposal". Kinda a mute point, per say.

Yet we live in a world where people will profit from the work and creativity of others without paying any of it back to the creator. Creating something is work, and we don't live in a post-scarcity communist utopia. The issue is the "little guy" always getting fucked over in a system that's pay-to-play.

Donating effort to the greater good of society is commendable, but people also deserve to be compensated for their work. Devaluing the labor of small creators is scummy.

They neither care nor critically think about their candidate's personal lives. They "deal with it" through whataboutism, thought terminating cliches, etc.

All they care about is their candidates "hurting the right people".

There are already effective "guns" for jamming drones that are the size of a large rifle.

We can shape EM "beams" -- lasers, directional antennas, etc. Inverse square law is far less of a concern for collimated beams.
