Using terms like "tectonic faults" sets unrealistic beauty standards to moons like Ganymede. https://www.theguardian.com/science/2021/jun/08/juno-nasa-jupiter-moon-ganymede

"When Bitcoin started to get big, I started to notice that the old conspiracy theories that I recognized from Wall Street were starting to show up with alarming regularity in the discussions around Bitcoin. People were taking them seriously in a way that was surprising to me, in the sense that they didn't have that much traction in the technology world or anything before that, and all of a sudden here they were in the mainstream."
It's rotten to the core.

Information society interprets exploitation as damage and routes around it.
In my sci-fi epic set in the late 21st century where the world has moved to global knowledge economy France is specialized in pig farming because "Knowledge is power, France is bacon". I will call it "Capital Shrugged". #justkiddingbutonlyhalf

@icedquinn I just realized chicken products in fast food restaurants are so heavily processed they would be an easy way to get rid of a body.
@icedquinn I bet his parents did that on purpose. Unless he is very old or dead. I mean Donald Duck was created in 1934.
My Covid charts haven't updated since February, but by then there were around 200000 reported Covid deaths in Brazil. https://www.iheart.com/podcast/105-behind-the-bastards-29236323/episode/jair-bolsonaro-the-president-who-promised-30179619/
@vogon Most of those are in integrated circuits which contain millions of those.
When I eat Chiquita bananas, I'm reminded how they lobbied US to overthrow democratically elected government of Guatemala. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Fruit_Company#Guatemala
The lyrics for "Goody Two Shoes" are quite different from what I remember.
