I get these things in boxes of fasteners for the welding press I operate in a factory.
- Comment on On disobeying instructions 1 day ago:
I don’t get it.
Why isn’t everything labeled “do not eat” then? Why just these packets?

Is this some fucking thing where there’s 0 holes and the topologists can be all smug about their fun little logic puzzle?

The religious fanatics really don’t actually matter. It’s just the affluent people.
If affluent people want something and religious people don’t, affluent people still get what they want.
The values of a society are the values of its ruling class etc etc
- Comment on British supermarket Morrisons selling AI birthday cards (£2) 2 weeks ago:
The uneducated masses still don’t like AI slop. They are fatigued by it.
It still gets bought because a lot of people haven’t learned to identify but if you told them it’s slop they’d probably change their minds. Yeah, they’re not going to spend hours researching birthday cards, but that doesn’t mean they don’t have AI fatigue.
- Comment on British supermarket Morrisons selling AI birthday cards (£2) 2 weeks ago:
It already has.
The general public’s opinion has never mattered.

- Comment on They eliminated cashiers and keep the profits. NY Democrats are fighting back. 5 weeks ago:
Except horses aren’t people and aren’t allowed to vote, so actually, it’s nothing like that.
- Comment on They eliminated cashiers and keep the profits. NY Democrats are fighting back. 5 weeks ago:
Sure, I’m just saying, this wouldn’t be a hard law to enforce.
- Comment on They eliminated cashiers and keep the profits. NY Democrats are fighting back. 5 weeks ago:
You don’t think they’ll drag such a tax through the court system? Our enemies don’t want any restraints on businesses, anything we try to do will be fought.
- Comment on They eliminated cashiers and keep the profits. NY Democrats are fighting back. 5 weeks ago:
or tax the company to help mitigate the harm it’s causing by eliminating jobs.
Well. Discounting items in self-checkout is actually a tax on the company for using self-checkout.
- Comment on They eliminated cashiers and keep the profits. NY Democrats are fighting back. 5 weeks ago:
I don’t think it would be difficult to forbid self-checkout at all, actually.
There’s a difference between enforcing laws on individuals and enforcing laws on businesses. Businesses can’t exactly run and hide, if they’re using self-checkout they’re going to get found out. That’s distinct from something like the drug trade, which is all underground and hidden.

You can just play a different game.

- Comment on Brought to you by RFK Jr. 1 month ago:
Their logic is “women are cattle that exist to breed” and so there’s literally no argument in favor of abortion you can ever make.

- Comment on Could the Supreme Court overturning Marbury vs Madison be a way to repeal the US Constitution? 2 months ago:
Not really. Effectively, the Court is checked by their legitimacy. That’s why they’re actually concerned about how the appear to the public and which way the political winds are blowing. If they go too far and do something truly radical, like repeal the Constitution, they’d probably be killed.

We are limited by our material conditions. In an ideal world, every Nazi would be reeducated.
We don’t have the capacity or the time for that. We have to stop them by any means necessary, before it’s too late.

Run me over… on the beach?
- Comment on Sound of silence 2 months ago:
Aw that’s not fair - they think about themselves all the time! They spend so much time thinking about themselves, in fact, that they don’t have the extra brain power to spare for the rest of us.
- Comment on Sound of silence 2 months ago:
I have come to understand that there is a subset of people that have never spared a thought for anyone else. They probably have never even considered the fact that I don’t want to listen to their stupid bullshit. The thought never crossed their mind, not even once.

- Comment on Hillary Clinton Says Biden’s Re-election Bid Was a ‘Terrible Mistake’ 2 months ago:
What do you think a Party even is? Do you think it’s a liberal social club? That the DNC is just a bunch of like-minded individuals?
The Party is an institution, with its own leadership and structure and financiers and insiders. It’s an organization.
It’s baffling that you don’t think a political party has a political agenda.
- Comment on Hillary Clinton Says Biden’s Re-election Bid Was a ‘Terrible Mistake’ 2 months ago:
I’m baffled by your reply - what does it have to do with my comment?
My point is that party primaries are not fair, and they are not intended to be fair. The Democrats could make a primary rule that forbids socialists from even running as Democrats, and it would be entirely legal. Primary rules are not the same as general election rules. Any socialist trying to run as a Democrat should run under the assumption that the Party will put its thumbs on the scale.
- Comment on Hillary Clinton Says Biden’s Re-election Bid Was a ‘Terrible Mistake’ 2 months ago:
I will never believe the 2020 Iowa caucus was legitimate - the Iowa Democratic Party chair resigned after that disaster and Iowa lost its first in the nation status because of how badly it fucked things up.
