Sadly, there’s dozens of millions of those.

Willing to bet a nonzero amount of Western journalists/activists’ phones are equally compromised. In 2026 you simply have to assume that a smartphone is a 24/7 spy center trained on you if you’re of any importance at all.

Tobacco is low grade radioactive as well.

They can’t pass it. They don’t have majority. Now watch as they win midterms and this gets forgotten completely.

I mean, why not introduce this bill during any of the 4 years Biden was in office? Because it would’ve been actual policy, and they don’t want that. This is political virtue signaling and nothing more.

That’s quite obviously the end goal here.

When oil is 200/barrel industry will switch out of simple necessity.

Bats. Imagine having a friendly familiar. They could also be used to carry messages.

Yea, this is gonna be the big one. I can feel it in my bones.

I once got a 2k camera + gear + extra (Sigma!) lenses for three fiddy. No Loch Ness monsters involved tho.

Nothing a quick pill won’t fix.

Now, convincing your wife to take pills for YOUR illness, that’s another thing.

That’s fine, I’m sure billionaires will pick up the tab when all regular people clear out of the Strip.

The longer this goes on the more it seems like the explicit goal rather than a side effect.

Peace trough power.

Still running Win11 on my gaming rig. The very first time an update breaks something again it’s gone.

Nopepad now.

I actually think the young crowd at MS would resist this. This looks much more like a top-down decision from marketing overruling engineering.

Last month? Takes years in my case.

It’s pretty obvious from where I’m standing that a far right takeover of Europe is also on the horizon and there is nothing we can do to stop it. There is so much power and money behind these movements, and they only have to succeed ONCE, where we have to succeed EVERY TIME in order to keep our protections.

It won’t last though. We’re going the exact same route USA is going, just slower and more splintered. But the end destination is the same.
