I think control theory, after reading the Wikipedia first paragraph, is using doing math to calculate how to consistently do a thing.

When people talk about the ‘deep state’ and all of the conspiracies of shadowy cabals, in reality it’s just this fucking piece of shit.

While it’s definitely not outside the realm of possibility, there’s a more succinct reasoning. They are narcissistic assholes.

The cool kids are switching to Librewolf because whatever is happening at Mozilla is increasingly concerning by the day.

Really going out of the way to avoid them.

Sounds like you just had a shit advisor tbh. My advisor had suggested taking a few different classes to achieve a second degree, as well as advocating for me for some special exceptions for something, and just always reaching out a few times each term with specific things to discuss on my progress and future plans.

Having ever used a gas pump, I can say with absolutely certainty nobody is cleaning them up.

Like taxation without representation

How would you feel being imprisoned by irresponsible people who nearly boiled you alive with their negligence?

I’m not convinced 7-8 of them aren’t just Fred Armisen in various outfits.

And hippos aren’t buoyant.

What is avoidable is a subscription to their retail store, with its own very severe workplace issues.

And while it may be difficult or unrealistic to not be a cog in their web presence, people can still avoid being a direct consumer of that as well.
