It’s such a self-report to show that you’re scared shitless of a guillotine
I feel perfectly safe hanging around a guillotine, how about you?
Have they tried considering why they are afraid of the guillotine, and work on that?
It's sad when citizens have to actually bring physical proof of just how angry they are. Good leadership should see that their people aren't with them well before guillotines and nooses start showing up to the public meetings.
That's not what they're for. They're for controlling you.
Good.
why would you feel unsafe?
are you doing something that might cause you to get your head stuck in a guillotine? because, if you are, you might just deserve to feel unsafe...

I assume they just finished the meeting via zoom and increased the bribes to the city council?
Stay unsafe, company reps ❤️
Maybe they get a hint of how regular people feel daily with these companies around, but that would require self-reflection.
This was obviously a warning. Had Salem actually been serious they'd have brought kindling and torches.
We got hella people, they got helicopters
They got the bombs and we got the, we got the...
We got the guillotine
We got the guillotine, you better run
Holy shit, I see Lemmy make jokes about guillotines all the time, but it turns out, that may actually be the answer!
Gadget Review almost certainly uses LLMs to generate their articles.
(dear mods: this is what i meant to put as the report reason before clicking the wrong button, sorry)
Bye!
We celebrating Bastille day!?
Is Stefano DiMera for or against the Data Centres?
