He's more sainty than most christian saints. St Benedicts "miracle":

Book 2 of the Dialogues of Pope Gregory is about St. Benedict, and chapter 1 is titled “How he made a broken sieve whole and sound”:

It fell so out that his nurse borrowed of the neighbors a sieve to make clean wheat, which being left negligently on the table, by chance it was broken in two pieces, Whereupon she fell pitifully weeping, because she had borrowed it. The devout and religious youth Benedict, seeing his nurse so lamenting, moved with compassion, took away with him both the pieces of the sieve, and with tears fell to his prayers; and after he had done, rising up he found it so whole, that the place could not be seen where before it was broken.

So Benedict fixed a collander by crying on it and earned sainthood for it. Clearly none of us is worthy to behold such holiness as that. You couldnt make this flaming garbage up if you tried.

Thats some BS. Panama should now raise its fees for US flagged vessels.

Cant decide if this is a contrived thing to keep us busy and not focussed on other issues, or what. Trump letting Musk sit while he stands behind him doesnt seem likely.

brah. You will merely break many peoples bodies with explosives in the name of capitalism, corruption and colonization.

At my job I corrupt entire countries full of children, starting at an early age. I run user bucket targetting experiments on them to get them to spend more and steer them to befriend "friends" I select for them to optimize some pennies for our network edge performance. The measurements and manipulation of their vulnerabilities never stops. I take high resolution scans of their faces that we can use for the rest of their life to identify them anywhere--all so they can change their face to be an animated fox face, or stuff like that. I hope authoritarians never get ahold of this info because that could be bad for these consumers/kids, but hopes and prayers are not exactly my job. We never delete their info because parents click through the terms of service to shut their kids up. We say we educate kids to learn to program but inside the company that concept is spoken of mockingly.

I measure and steer their temperament and engagement with new games that are open to their worst impulses, and keep them on the treadmill. I transcribe and save literally every single word they utter. I analyze those spoken words for sentiment, and to build an ongoing model of which bucket they belong in to maximize their spending. The loaner? the helper? the team player? authority truster? authority abuser? rule driven, rule antidriven? I have loot, friends, new games, and contrived self serving "bugs" for all of them to find and think they are exploiting the games without my knowing.

I teach them to get addicted to loot boxes and I arbitrage endorphin hits between their peers and from the game. I give them their entire range of their lifes highs and lows. The best and worst times of their short lives are things I hand out. The later at night it is, or the longer their session, the more loot I give them to keep them playing. Like an IV drip of drug where sometimes you need to squeeze the bag to push more through to feel that hit strongly even when exhausted, and get them to defy their parents' calls for them to sleep.

You think darkness is your issue. But you merely adopted the dark for a paycheck; I was born into it right out of school, moulded by it. I didn't see socially useful internet services till I was an old man, by then it was nothing to me but a different way to drive engagement and raise the value on my rsus. My legacy will be a path of human wreckage and misery, same as yours only much bigger.

And then when the amazon strikers were being illegally arrested by the cops the other day Biden didnt do a damned thing.

[-] kreskin@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

he had the lowest poll ratings of any incumbent on 80 years. Nixon had higher polls than Biden. He had zero chance of being reelected, even before he talked about beating medicare. Even against an idiot like Trump. Harris's hole challenge was to climb out of the giant approval hole Biden had dug himself with his own stupidity.

[-] kreskin@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

Yep, Which was another way of saying nothing will fundamentally improve either. Where is that old "Mission accomplished" banner from George W's stupid flight suit speech after desert storm. Biden can reuse that.

the genocide enablement also didnt help.

[-] kreskin@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago

Wait so you're telling me he never wanted the hostages back? Like literally everyone has been saying all along? I'm sure Biden and the media will just somehow never see this information.

Palpatine looked exactly like Joe Lieberman. Coincidence?

Lieberman hated the idea of universal health care and loved companies like United health care:

On top of killing people as his day job, Brian Thompson was also convicted of drunk driving, insider trading, and fraud.

Thompson was a rich 3 time loser felon so why was he walking the streets at all? He could have been safe in jail if the justice department did their jobs. That includes you Mayorkas, so thats enough with your complaints.
