Right, I’m ok with the TV (or local assistant) knowing I’m in the room. But why does personal convenience have to become the panopticon, tech bros?

Same! And with great power comes great responsibility… for properly wrapped text

I was only familiar with the edited version for years & was a little disappointed when I heard the original. “Crush” is a better lyric. It’s a double entendre and doesn’t sound so… thirsty? I’m also not a Spanish speaker, but would think a proper translation should infer the playfulness of that double meaning.

Well said. The satisfaction & reassurance of being in a “righteous” group is very powerful. No matter the reality, the group reinforces itself & calms dissent. Like a terrible & warm blanket. Then it’s very terrifying when you realize what you are & where you could be led. Thank you for the lesson, religious youth groups.

Yes, it’s all culture war slop. “Elon Musk is the best!”

I’d much rather thousands of dollars of my taxes go overseas to provide art & culture, then billions going overseas as bombs dropped on Palestinian children. But that’s just me. I’ll always prioritize culture over murder.

They’re slashing USAID and feeding us the BS that these tax dollars are “better spent on Americans”, but they won’t be spent on the working class. Ever. They’ll go to defense contractors or Trump’s buddies. I watched the video, and I want my 2 minutes back.

But there are way, way more comments, posts, and articles about how he’s reneged on his promises & will continue to hurt people for the sake of hurting people… In the face of authoritarianism, you’re worried about decorum?
