Thank you for the analysis, very insightful!

Do you reckon this is more of an oversight or bug in the BT stack, or a deliberately places backdoor as the title seems to suggest?

Look for the protest actions, join them. Like, casually, just happen to be there.

You’ll probably find like minded people there and as you connect to more people, that hopelessness will go away!

Reddit has rules against inciting coprophagy? TIL.

EDIT: since mods removed the post I was replying to, I’m adding context - it was accusing the poster above from spreading misinformation.

Clear as day.

How to tell: disinformation 101. It’s presenting an utter lie as a fact. This is easy to check, just give the article or even the summary a quick read, or better yet actually listen to what Bernie said.

Why is such a blatant lie effective? For most people here it won’t be effective. But if you’re already “preconditioned” by seeing these kind of baseless claims elsewhere, this will serve to defuse your critical judgement and “save you the work” of thinking it through.

Same. Especially as a European, I wish we could avoid critical dependencies on American companies.

What do you mean? That’s a surname.

Is your caps lock broken? What the heck is that second select?

May I suggest reading Carl Sagan’s Cosmos? Or watch one of the TV shows.

While your average human is about as smart as a brick, there are so many minds throughout history that were able to pull humanity out of our dark caves and into space.

What we need, to survive as a species, is to nurture people, give them (proper) education, and more will come up.

Wait what I didn’t see it, did they call out blender during the speeches.or something?

This “democrats are the alternative” is just more bullshit. Sure, they’re not about the narcissistic cleptocracy, just about your run of the mill plutocracy. As if that’s any better.

At least the incompetency and recklessness of the current clown-in-chief might make it all blow up sooner rather than later, which to be honest, is probably the best outcome at this point.

A brilliant one.

DOGE is out looking for profitability, which is as much a goal of federal agencies, as hoarding peanut butter is for the Legal or Financial departments, which is to say not at all.

A government’s purpose is never to generate profit. It’s to make use of the common wealth to improve the lives of its citizens. In a country with so much wealth, and yet the people face so much strife, the government has already failed.

DOGE is just accelerating the downward spiral.

The correct answer was 3??
