I'm subscribed to Prime because I order too much shit and want to save on delivery costs. Those little Amazon lockers are too damn convenient for me.

If I watch their content, it's via my PC with an ad block. I stop watching their shit the day I can't block their ads because fuck'em.

God damn Mongolians keep breaking down my city wall!!

It's true. It's so satisfying to click those tongs, how can we NOT turn into crab?

Mah boi! Peace is what all true warriors strive for.

My fucking spirit animal right there 💖

I had one of these! Qwerty keyboard on a phone is a thing I sorely miss.

As someone who worked with radioactive materials: I dropped my screwdriver :(

I think the common denominator for all these things are people. People are pretty terrible in large numbers behind anonymity.

I don't doubt that many proposals were made well before 9/11, but that attack certainly proved a catalyst in getting them approved.

Basically: we want to control citizens > citizens don't want to be controlled > create a scenario in which they want to be controlled > control citizens

Might take a few years between implementation and the desired result, but politics is always a slow march towards authoritarianism.

Also, the fact it was labelled as the counter terrorism act. Not much call for a counter terrorism act of there isn't much terrorism happening. No better way to say "we need this" than an actual terrorist attack happening.

I always remember the old web game. It was a bitch to get to Madagascar. Inspired the meme:

I like you.

Like, this is what conspiracy should be - actually somewhat believable - and not dumb shit like flat earth.

I always held that 9/11 was dubious. Not an "inside job" per se, but definitely a case of "we're gonna turn our backs for just a second, and you terrorists better not do something silly while we're not looking!"

One of the biggest things that will always stick out to me: the WMDs. They were adamant Iraq had them. They said they had actual evidence. None of it was true. It all came across as an excuse for ol' George to go in and try to finish what daddy started in '91.

Just to be clear as well, I think other conspiracies such as the controlled demolition of the towers and the fake plane at the pentagon are bullshit. I don't have my tinfoil hat on that tightly.
