Sarcastic bitch with a wine problem
I bet this was some sort of gen AI mishap: “translate this campaign text to Latin”, because of course Latinos speak Latin, and it’s called Latin America too!
Although this would be twice as hilarious if they hired a translator who just went “🤷 ah well, money is money”
I suppose they meant that it slows down their internet, not the internet
Clueless MBA parasites ruining shit for everybody again?

The Usenet post I linked to claims it’s originally from the 1st quarter of 1990, but who knows if that’s accurate or not. I actually can’t find a good source for whether Stumpf is the original author or just the one who posted it to rec.humor.funny.reruns, but it’s usually attributed to him at any rate.
But yeah, fairly ancient by internet standards. I remember first running into it in the 90’s

“The narrative” that everybody should have voting rights?
Oh no, the horror!

Agh, figures that the Russian Volunteer Corps was apparently in on the action. It just never fails to boggle my mind that the majority of the anti-Russian militias that are fighting in Ukraine are so far right that they think Putin isn’t fascist enough.
Like, yeah, it’s great that they’re fighting Russia, but holy fuck is it this hard to find people in Russia who aren’t complete pieces of shit and are also willing to fight Putin?
I think it’s interesting is that so many autocracies keep up the pretense of democratic and rules-based governance; even North Korea has elections. Same with political trials like you see in so many authoritarian regimes, from modern Russia or China to Nazi Germany – it’s like autocrats need to be able to pretend to themselves that the system they run is fair and just, and that they’re not just tyrants who govern with impunity and enforce rules arbitrarily.
What I don’t get is why? Why bother when it’s immediately obvious to everyone that it’s all a sham? Why not drop the pretense, which everybody knows is just a pretense?

This is pretty much one of the sanest things calkearns has drawn, too
Some plans less so than others.
Also, I like this framing of users as the enemy. Matches my experience, really.

Don’t forget trying to kill e2e encryption like what the EU wants to do, both to “catch criminals” and “protect the children”
