The one con I sent to smelled fine even in the gaming room, interestingly enough

Anyone who thinks their party isn’t is likely not thinking straight. The scale probably depends on the party, but I think you can be reasonably sure they all do it
- Comment on dating 2 weeks ago:
I’m so bad at flirting over text. I can do it irl somewhat once the first bit of convo gets jumpstarted but mannn dating apps kill me. I get far more people down to hang in person then ever from a dating app.
- Comment on dating 2 weeks ago:
Ok but like. Dating and flirting talk is different from normal talk. More giggly, more vibes. Some people can’t do that for shit

You’re not full adding one thing nor do you have a specific plan in mind.
- Comment on Self-Care 2 weeks ago:
You take things step by step. You don’t fix everything at once, but beginning and continuing a variety of initiatives against a variety of threats more easily allows you to scale up those efforts as threats grow closer. It’s a lot easier to do something if you cut it up. And early starting allows easier starts.
You think that just because something is further in the future that it should be disregarded, but in reality small, fairly low effort approaches started sooner will former a much stronger base in facing threats as opposed to pretending only the closest is a real one.

And this is just plain doomest, as well as wrong, for now.

When we are all dead from the rock, the ship isn’t gonna matter - dodge the rock first, then worry about the ship
A short sighted attitude to a ridiculous degree. You and your “I can only think of one issue at a time” attitude is precisely the kind of problem that politics always has.
- Comment on Self-Care 2 weeks ago:
So you are willing to run into another ship just because there’s a rock in front of you. Your example is apt, you still have to and need to worry about all of them to successfully make it out, and cannot just worry about 1.
The issue is no less important because it is supposedly further out, because we need to get started asap to avoid the most damage

Thinking that pessimistically removes any chance of actually making the world better.
- Comment on Humans are part of the ecosystem. 2 weeks ago:
This is absolutely worshipping indigenous people more so that you should be. They’re human same as the rest of us, and don’t have magical pro environment powers.
- Comment on Humans are part of the ecosystem. 2 weeks ago:
Cars, as in personal vehicles, are one of the largest portions of environmental damage. The majority of cars are owned by people who aren’t rich

Ham at my local grocery store is usually $5. For 5 pounds of ham. Like year round. Sometimes loss leaders are wild

I mean in this situation they’re saying outright that they’re going to release buggy unoptimized incomplete and maybe garage. So that’s just kinda getting what it says on the tin tbh
- Comment on Trying to find a messenger bag at Amazon 1 month ago:
Local vs amazon are not the only 2 options. And let me be very clear. I am not simply saying “Buy local”. Conflating that with ethical shopping is wrong.

People have no morals. Most people only care about the cheapest price, and after that getting the best item for the cheapest price

You are aware that percentages of demographics changing does not demonstrate a shrinking user base by itself, yes?

- Comment on Amazon develops methods for inserting ads onto any flat surface in an existing video 1 month ago:
Companies/creatives/collectives need a way to show what they have to offer so it gets out there. Ads are far and away out of control, but their abolishment has it’s own problems (and people will advertise anyways, just stealth like they already are)

The grift is professional development meetings and standardized testing. It’s a bit silly to suggest it’s all corrupt though.

The fact that you linked 3 links that don’t counter what I said is impressive.

You can’t form a corporation without their expressed permission, if not, you loose your status as a corporation.
This is just wrong. It’s not permission. You submit to their bureaucracy, yes, but that’s guaranteed if you submit your paperwork correctly, it’s not a permission.
Capitalism ≠ Laissez-faire free markets, but government owning the rights on who gets to issue bonds and debts.
This is not completely accurate. It implies it’s a prior approval situation instead of a post-revocable situation which while similar are notably different. The government cannot revoke those privileges arbitrarily. There is rules for them, but those rules do not restrict who does so, they restrict how it’s done.
Speaking broadly, a system where the king issues money, and controls said money, is not capitalism anymore than socialism is communism. When nobility exist and can arbitrarily set rules and taxes, that is not capitalism. That isn’t to say either are good, they’re both terrible systems. But the thing you described with a king is strictly not capitalism, it’s a different evil.

Yes,
Capitalism without copyright…
Capitalism is the issue. Not copyright. Why do you think copyright is causing the problems that capitalism is causing.
You merge or sue your competition to death for copyright violations first…
A nonsense statement when said in reply to what I said.

That’s a different conversation. You’re redirecting. My statement was as to that copyright is not necessary for large corporations. I’m still anti corpo. Without copyright large businesses would be the primary beneficiaries. They’d be able to freely do as china’s factories do. They’d simply undercut the original inventers with their massive wealth, making the products cheaper(and often worse), selling more and amassing more money for themselves.
