No, not at all, people can get tattoos for whatever reasons they want. I guess was just having an open wonder what those reasons are.

I forgot they were a they/them. Theys usually have reasons for what they dp, I wonder what they are.

Do you think any of those pictures hold a special or significant meaning for her?

Do you think those particular images are important for her to have at hand?

Do you have a particular affinity for Pennywise, or that movie? Does it represents something meaningful to you?

Most countries are corrupt backwards dictatorships… So that might be the best standard to use.

Or through blackmail.

Is this a back channel so China can use North Korea as a loading bay for its trade with Russia, which the US recently warned it to stop.

So plausible deniability insurance.

It’s much of the MAGA Republican’s internal platform right now.

They believe DEI policies are a George Soros funded Global Progressive Communist plot to destroy society by destroying meritocracy for white men, and nuclear families.

So basically they think anyone who isn’t a white man is obviously bad at their job, and only got it because of being a minority. They believe this issue to be about racism (against whites).

They believe in equality of opportunity, but see ideological attempts aimed at hiring minorities as being about “equality of outcome” - and hence a kind of Communism.

They also don’t like Inclusion, because they think it’s aimed at making children gay and trans, and destroying “white culture/Christianity/marriage/family”.

The real issue is these aren’t Trump’s plans, they’re plans with their own life within the Republican party and the system at large already.

What’s scarier is; it might not. It might just radically alter the culture to being radically restrictive to a new theocratic orthodoxy. Megachurches combining to create new variants on the bible and its interpretation. A new set of “intellectuals” re-writing the constitution under divine providence. A new geopolitics, corporate structures, and large companies willing to go along with it.

The Heritage Foundation (which was founded by White Supremacist adjacent people) are behind Project 2025 (which is aimed at enacting Unitary Executive Theory, aka dictatorship) - come up with a plan EVERY election cycle, and they don’t throw away their old aims and plans, they reworked them and fold them into the next attempt.

So I think your prediction is correct, the MAGA republican problem won’t go away, it will just keep folding into its self.

“Hey look what we could do at six times the price point” isn’t a flex, it’s stupidity.

Like why not just release Apple brand Skis, or team up with Nike and make some shoes, or Jewelry if you want to do high priced stuff rich idiots pay for.

I’m not sure why they tried this.

‘We made a VR games headset, but replaced the games with office related programs, like calenders and notepads’

Did any of them ever use an Oculus Quest? Like, why did they try this? Is this Apple’s Google Glass moment? Did they really think that if you pay enough youtubers to wear it in public, normal people would magically go into car-level debt to emulate them?

In fact, I’ll go as far as to say this campaign and price point was a bigger mistake, and a louder failure than Google Glasses.

Wait, I think I’m experiencing the Mandello effect…

Let’s see what you think when the next ten years also get hotter and hotter each year. It can get A LOT worse… And with that heat comes more of everyone’s favourite: Resource wars!

C++ is focused on getting a strong degree of root control over the hardware of lots of systems. Which is part of why it’s difficult.

Windows 11 has been a big wake up call for consumers.

Sausage, eggs on toast, bacon, and a glass of milk.

“I hope you brought enough for everyone”

Get off the nationalist drugs.

Borrowing tactics from Russia.
