Hank Hill recognizes 152 Pokémon total. The first 151, and then Stunfisk.

Hank, suddenly intrigued: "Wait, there's a 'grass type' Pokemon?"

The one I personally have experience with is telemarketing. I worked at an agency whose business it was to call businesses and gather information about what IT tech they use, and at what point they were likely at the highest propensity to buy new stuff. We'd sell those leads to tech companies like Dell or HP for their sales teams to reference.

There was another "agency" out there that did the same thing we did with American young adults, but with prison labor paid something like $1-$3/day. It basically put our agency out of business, which good riddance, but also, it was at least a living for hundreds of people. Now those jobs don't exist, pretty much.

Most InfoSec researchers are unaware that most hackers can be stopped by saying "please."

I love how this gag has grown and adapted to the new era. Back when I was in college (late aughties), the joke in our social circle was to say something ridiculous, then say, "what? It's true. You're saying you don't trust eaglepatriot1776 dot blogspot dot com?

Just a friendly reminder, slavery has been an active part of the Neoliberal agenda since the 60s. For-profit prisons use their prisoner population to do factory work (cus nobody cares about them or their wellbeing), and the products of which can then be sold on the open market, which undercuts and drives small businesses out of operation.

Prison labor has touched and destroyed countless American industries, and has genuinely done more damage to the idea of a "free market" than every Communist on the planet combined. How exactly does one compete against a business whose cost-basis is quite literally the cost of Nutriloaf?

Baby, I hope you're posting this comment from inside a tent after a long day of training with your guerilla resistance militia, because it's horseshit and classist to dump on people who are actually doing something, even if that something is just the beginning of what should be done.

I cannot begin to express how over I am hearing the opinions of anyone who has already given up. Playing Red Dawn with your little pistols and rifles and mail-order TEMU body plate armor isn't going to save you against a global military hedgemon with more autonomous missiles than taxpaxong citizens. If you have theory that will fix all this, then get the fuck out there and put it into action and convince us with results. Jesus Christ.

Black American civil rights were struggled for by a rich tapestry of direct action, intellectual analysis, Christian pacifism, liberation through Islam, and Leftist theory and influence. It is not and never was any one thing. Violence was not the only ingredient.

I have been saying it for 6 months straight now, and now, I need you all to say it with me:

No matter what is to come, we. do. not. split.
