This is likely due to free masonry and the judge and cops both having membership at lodges.

No reasonable person thinks a cop randomly showing up at night out of idiocy, and an older man waking up and grabbing a gun, and being shot is acceptable, or justified, on account of the fact that the police were there because of sheer illiteracy.

Must be nice to be part of that cult.

You are now my archenemy on Lemmy, so called “thehiddencatboy.”

That’s some crazy ass shit. More proof that reality is simulated!

I don’t believe in religious stuff and Step 10 was mostly a joke, although that link is shocking.

To everyone who downvoted me, screw you!!!

(Edited, and the down votes keep coming. You can all go to Lemmy hell! … which is possibly the hexbear instance, although I’m not sure.)

“Hey Bro, you’re really such a pussy, you’re going to leave this coal mine because the canary died? I’m an alpha bro, don’t be such a beta.”

Now apply this to literally the entire fucking world. This is our current reality.

This is the slow banning of cash.

Step 1: Eliminate penny

Step 2: Some stores stop accepting cash because of rounding

Step 3: Second wave of other stores join

Step 4: Fewer people carry cash as a result

Step 5: Cash Becomes More Difficult to Withdraw From Banks since less cash on hand means they need justification for any withdrawal over 500 in a day

Step 6: Wait 3 Years, but strengthen ID requirements while implementing behind the scenes biometric collection and AI identification for the purposes of “catching illegal immigrants”

During step 6, conservative Christians, normally fearful of the Antichrist and a universal mark for being able to be a part of society, accept this development because MAGA good, immigrants bad

Step 7: Regime change. The lower classes, upon having the little wealth they have and labor stolen even more, with increases in poverty and death, realize they have been screwed and elect pro-regulation big-government Democrats to save them.

The democrats ban privacy coins in a new comprehensive crypto bill. There is little protest.

Step 8: American New Deal. In an effort to “save America,” Democrats pass a bill with a huge amount of spending for the poor, as well as expansive banking regulations to ensure banks are “safe.” The public safety means more than 100 can’t be withdrawn in a day.

Step 9: 3 years pass, almost no one uses cash. The destruction caused by Trump’s actions and the changes caused by AI lead Democrats to enact UBI for all, a card with 800 a month for everyone. Each person gets a card. Additionally, all financial transactions must be linked to the card, and cash is banned. Rural maggats, many reeling from greater poverty, are happy to get UBI.

Step 10: AntiChrist arrives, wowing all before killing nearly everyone. Cashless MAGA Christians are impressed… Before they all are killed.

Yep… It’s just a penny. Nothing to worry about folks!

What is this? I don’t get it.

I think neurodivergence is only part of it. As someone different, but not trans, who often dealt with discrimination for seeming obviously gay, part of the reason is that when dealing with people you can be nice and do everything right and be treated horribly because of being different, but computers have no bias. So if you do things right with computers, you win. Even with other subjects like math or science, there is some level of interacting with people who may be prejudiced that just isn’t there when you spend 30 hours figuring out some new computer thing on your own. Also your interactions may be remote and involve more smart logical people. With math, usually some learning as to how to deal with hard problems needs to be done by interacting with people not via email or forums or lists. My point is I think some trans women could just as easily become great engineers or great mathematicians or grear car repair techs, but the nature of learning computers reducing disrespect.

This is the meme I needed. Thank you!

I work a job and people are often angry, frustrated, and sometimes yelling. I get these cortisol spikes daily as a result. I can’t afford to quit the job right now.

The cortisol spikes lead me to crave low quality food. I have considered a GLP-1.

For someone like me, I realize that in a better situation, I wouldn’t deal with many cortisol spikes at work and then crave eating garbage and too much garbage. I understand the rationality behind your logic.

But still I am not sure I see a better option. My job is a 40 hour a week job and pays the bills. I don’t have major skills in another area and have some problems in my resume.

I suppose I could retrain, but the problem is there would eventually be a period with no cash coming in and then things become risky.

I believe these cortisol spikes are directly causing some of my cravings. They probably have other horrible impacts too. I take antiinflammatory medication every day that I work to try to prevent inflamation, but that is also risky.

Do you suggest for me a GLP-1 is a bad idea? In our capitalist society, in which I can’t temporarily opt out of working without fear of homelessness, GLP-1 seems like a necessary evil.

Economic class factors into the equation. I can afford the cheapest GLP-1 while working. I can’t afford to stop working.

That’s the official explanation, but the employees name was withheld and at the time there was a grainy picture of “Luigi” with only part of the person’s face visible. It’s possible but hard to believe.

I’d throw parties probably, but only if poverty were eliminated for everyone.

This would incentivize paid CEOs that lack equity to hire more people and fire fewer people, even if it wrecked the business. Sometimes businesses need to decrease the employee headcount if revenue is declining or they won’t be able to pay anyone. I understand your desire to be more inclusive and have less pay disparity, but the best way to do that is with taxing the ultra wealthy and giving a certain amount back to the lower classes rather than actually try to alter market forces that would result in unusual inefficiencies and problems. A big reason why we have capitalism is to make sure things like food and other essentials are supplied In sufficient quantities. I am not in favor of unregulated unchecked capitalism, but the idea that we can pay CEOs more as wages go up for everyone in the company is an idea that only will work well with smooth sailing. Any rough waters and that idea won’t make sense. (This post is not condoning extreme poverty which is due to the poor policies of many elected leaders.)

They turned in Luigi, likely by having facial recognition in all stores. This is not justifying what Luigi is charged with, but fuck McDonald’s for being a part of that lie. Traitorous lying scum.

They have cameras pointing up at you from the register area when you place an order, apparently “just for QR codes.” And all their fucking digital menus have cameras in them. Why exactly is that needed? Fraud prevention for the illicit big Mac?

McDonald’s doesn’t value privacy and I don’t believe for a second a random employee there identified Luigi.

Between them trying to use AI on me to take an order (and likely trying to voiceprint me) and also just not caring about privacy at all, why the fuck would I go there? Nope.

I don’t trust them at all. In the US, corporations are legally allowed to lie to you if the government approves so if they do have some program in cahoots with police for facial recognition, we would never know.

I’m not saying it’s bad to catch bad guys who are religious radicals, but the government is not exactly trustworthy.

And, on top of this, they fucked everyone over on price, then lowered it slightly when they realized they stepped in dog shit, showing how price increases were partly price gouging.

Fuck McDonalds.

You joined April 2, 2025. I believe you are just here for thread drift, purposely derailing the topic into a meaningless discussion of tattoos by sharing ragebait.

Uh-oh! Looks like the mods agreed! lol. Thanks mods!

excellent point
