Where is there no surveillance outside? With all the doorbell cameras nowadays, every neighborhood is under surveillance

Well said, although I’m pretty sure the person I initially replied to is just a troll.

I was with you until the end. Identity is not a choice for a lot of people.

I was clarifying how to use loose vs lose using context. If you’re going to correct someone be sure your correction is correct.

No. They aren’t letting animals loose. They lost their court case.

Nope. On one hand I’m saying “don’t take inspiration from a fascist movie”.

On the other hand I’m saying “working class revolution is a good thing and will require violence”

Two completely different statements if you understand what words mean. But one conversation will not fix a lifetime of miseducation so continue to believe what you believe.

You were just praising a fascist movie. Step back.

You want a say in the decisions? Participate in change.

We’re already suffering. Do you think we’ll be able to dig out the ticks that are draining our society without some pain on our end?

A movie about a fascist terror cell is not a good model for an actual working class revolution.

The Humans in Zion think it’s closer to 2199, but they don’t know about the cycle of The One.

In his cave speech just before the rave, Morpheus says they’ve been fighting the Machines for 100 years. There are people in Zion old enough that that might be accurate for the cycle they’re on.

The Architect says this will be the sixth time they destroy Zion. The Machines being machines are likely consistent in their timeline, which would mean that the cycle of The One takes about 100 years to resolve each time.

So the year is at least 2699, but likely later than that when you take into account the earlier, failed, versions of the Matrix before they figured out The One cycle.

Ah, but it’s also funny to see people whine about /s anytime it’s used. It’s quite the conundrum.

America explain!

On PC it’s a browser extension that works best with Firefox (uBlock Origin is generally recommended). It also works on Firefox for Android. You will likely need separate extensions for each browser and device you use. I don’t think Firefox syncs extensions between phone and desktop.

…and maybe check out some Hungarian furniture.

How do Catholics choose their patron saints? Same deal.

Think of your computer or phone like a dance club. Adblock is the bouncer you hire (download for free) that keeps ads out and let’s content in. Ads are clever and wear disguises so you have to regularly update your adblocker.

This is a great example of Betteridge’s law of headlines. Did wokeness leave us worse off? No.

Okay, so we’re different colors and we’re different creeds and different people have different needs.

It’s obvious you hate me though I’ve done nothing wrong. I’ve never even met you, so what could I have done?

Where do I say anyone doesn’t have agency? Check your assumptions, they’re causing you to make wrong inferences.
