Maybe it’s me who’s the NPC
NPC = Non-Playable Character – the name for a background digital character which fills out the imaginary world of a video game. An NPC could be a creature, or it could be any one of the background “humans” that you cannot take control of in a game.

You got what you wanted -Olym#5
I am not a hard-core Luddite. I love software tools for manually writing things, manually editing photos, manually creating songs, and manually creating 3D artwork, and I am delighted with the increasing power of the hardware and the apps so that I can do more complex things and do them faster. Emphasis on – I do things.
I do not condone or support the use of AI tools that automatically churn out variations of slop that is composed of people’s stolen work, nor do I endorse this lemming-like mentality in society, rushing us off a cliff on which millions of humans are losing their livelihoods. Wake up!!

The military industrial complex is directed by capital, not politics. Politics is subservient to wealthy conservative families backed by wealthy conservative private institutions. No matter how “we-the-people” might think we have a say, we don’t.
We-the-people vote for parties, and the money decides on the people who actually run the things. It’s a clever little ruse designed to make us think our votes matter and it lets the money make even more money by writing their campaigning sponsorships off to tax.
