Don't forget the Drones buzzing over your homes for your delivery service that renders the Post Office and its little remaining union power extinct.

It's weird to think about when Microsoft introduced the kinect and its always on """feature""" people spazzed tf out to point of them actually removing it. Now it's commonplace to have an Amazon Echo or Google Home in your house listening all the time and no one has blinked an eye. Even better now that they just gave the alphabet soup crew the direct line.

Didn't they just also try to push that service where they unlock your door and leave your delivery inside your house while you're not there too? Fucking ridiculous.

When you get delivery, you won't even have to open the door, with our new Government mandated Amazon Locking Mechanisms™. Your dog won't bark at the door bell anymore, you won't have to get up and open the door, all you have to do, is wait for the package.

i have no clue what this had to do with the rest of the article

zizek in a nutshell

Alexa overheard you mentioning a revolution so we went ahead and alerted the authorities and with our new Amazon Prime Search Warrant™ your Government mandated Amazon Locking Mechanisms™ will unlock within seconds of a judges approval or by a PATRIOT ACT override by an officer.

No FCC in the US news user?

F.C.C. Announces Plan to Repeal Net Neutrality

The Federal Communications Commission announced on Tuesday that it planned to dismantle landmark regulations that ensure equal access to the internet, clearing the way for companies to charge more and block access to some websites.

sorry I'm late, today's announcement came after my initial post.

I love it when PPP thought prevails over common sense.

FFS, this is twice they've given me an isotope shower now. I've don't even have one shitty superpower from their incompetence.

Buddy, we're accelerating history, and there's no turning back.

Daily reminder that Allende disarmed the workers and therefore set himself for the coup d'état.

Read the crucial parts of the last 3 paragraphs together:


read again, read better

At lesst Chile has its independence, Puerto Rico dosent even have self governence thanks to the fiscal board that was instituted a short time ago

I mean its self governance was a joke, mock elections to keep the masses servile and eternally bootlicking, but the façade is unraveling

So local CBS station is doing its Three Percenter PR piece tonight.

Apparently it was "part 1" of "Militia Barbie."

Some goofy shit, folks.

Can someone explain to me how cuckchan didn't see this coming at all? It seems a majority of the users got shocked when they realized Trump's shinanigans would mean that 4chan could be blocked from most IPs (especially more liberal ones) because of Holla Forums being reactionary (and retarded) as shit

US Navy aircraft carrying 11 crashes off Japan

A US Navy aircraft carrying 11 crew and passengers has crashed into the sea off the coast of Japan.
The cause of crash is unknown and the names those onboard are being withheld while next of kin are notified, the US Navy said in a statement.

bbc.com/news/world-asia-42078318

Haven't they paid enough for Pearl Harbor already?

The US Navy is just a bucket of lulz at this point.

Ingesting iodine only helps if the radioactive material consists of iodine. (You fill up on the non-radioactive stuff so your body can't take in any more)

This entire article boils down to "your webshop can't compete with amazon so you don't need net-neutrality".
What absolute hogwash.

I don't think it was supposed to imply you don't need it, rather this administration/chairman pajeet don't give two shits about what the people think and the corporations that might be affected aren't looking to jump in front of any bullets. Bar a miracle, I don't see the FCC changing their mind. Maybe I'm just a pessimist though.

They did, theyre just in for another lulzworthy surprise.

Watching the demise of right-wingers is like watching a porn vid involving rape

It's quite fapworthy.

Oh no I mean the FCC shit. The screen cap you posted is about Syria

Reminder that illegal Haitian immigrants face a far longer and more dangerous trip through the sea than Cubans do, but only the latter get special treatment to reside.
