we should no expect goodwill from companies, that is why they need to be regulated.

it is actually a better news if it is a response to regulations, that means that the system works, at leas a bit

Think of it as the society being the victim. The clearest example is when Trump started talking about Fake News. The goal is to devoid words of meaning, to reason based only on emotional attachment, to eliminate critical thinking. This guy follows the same strategy.

Below a definition of gaslighting, I think it applies pretty well to the kind of society these people are leaving behind:

Examples of gaslighting behaviors are denying something the other person knows is true, spreading rumors about them, and blaming the victim. The mental health impact of gaslighting includes feelings of powerlessness, confusion, isolation, disorientation, and low self-esteem

He is saying that she didn’t win, he lost.

Completely unqualified suggestion here but,

have you tried going for a run when you wake up at the middle of the night?

I was having the problem of waking up at 3am and unable to fall sleep, I started to embrace it, prepare some coffee, stretch a bit and then get out to run to a completely deserted city.

Running is very therapeutic, when you get intrusive thoughts, you just squeeze further running until your brain cannot focus on other thing than breathing.

I found a time-frame of therapy that only belongs to me and it has also helped me with the sleeping problems.

I am not qualified or anything and I don’t want to diminish your problem, but if it could help I just wanted to let it out.

Cheers.

Q. Is it not obvious to anyone that the Empire is as strong as it ever was?

The storm-blast whistles through the branches of the Empire even now. Listen with the ears of psychohistory, and you will hear the creaking.

Q. (uncertainly) We are not here, Dr. Seldon, to lis

A. (firmly) The Empire will vanish and all its good with it. Its accumulated knowledge will decay and the order it has imposed will vanish. Interstellar wars will be endless; interstellar trade will decay; population will decline; worlds will lose touch with the main body of the Galaxy. �And so matters will remain.

I like the lady on the bottom right, how is that one called?

We need a community! I am really annoyed by this, it is rapey and gaslighting and abusive. Another one they started to do is “You are almost finished with your updates”, updates that i didn’t request nor allow.

We need words, customized pitchforks and a leader to recover dignity!

Farm animals are not animals in captivity.

Captivity implies being captured and being held captured.

It is about wild animals that do live longer in a control environment albeit loosing their freedom.

Animal farming is a different animal
