- Comment on How modern is it to have "sympathetic" portrayals of Hell? 2 months ago:
Crunchy Granola: 1) A phrase used in the 70s to describe the hippiest of the hippies, and 2) A lesser used DnD reference to 'C’haotic 'G’ood, which overlaps with 1 and began shortly after the 70s, probably as Gygax and friends were pretty counterculture.

That’s because he’s the fucking Demiurge in Gnosticism you armchair theist

No I hate linux too because I have a tendency to attribute human qualities to nonhuman entities.

- Comment on Seriously, what the f*** is keeping Donald Trump in this presidential race? 3 months ago:
I know several magahats in my family that are having doubts, not because of anything Harris said.
I think this debate was an unequivocal victory but I’m still telling everyone I know to vote

The media is owned by rich old white men that would gladly accept fascism for lower taxes. It’s that simple.

… that literally makes no rhetorical sense.
Also I wasn’t performing any logic, I asked a question and made a statement. There was no evaluation of anything in there. Are you a misconfigured bot?
- Comment on Based on a true story 3 months ago:
Well since we are talking about the internet, is that such a bad idea?
It’s not called the ‘web of lies’ for nothing.

The curse of accessibility, if you make something so easy that anyone can use it, everyone will.

For me I loved the challenge of squeezing out a few extra k of lower memory. My autoexec.bat had four hundred lines in it.
I miss those days honestly. There’s really not much practical benefit to overclocking anymore, even broke college kid level devices come with at least 8 gigs of ram.
8… gigs… of ram… and ALL of it treated like lower memory… Could you imagine that in the mid 90s? I’d be thinking star trek.

I’d love that, my entire frontpage is the same 30 things over and over unless I deliberately sort for something then it’s a DIFFERENT 30 things over and over
- Comment on Happy Star Trek Day! What was your first contact? 3 months ago:
Original series shortly after it went into syndication. The episode I first remember is “Let That Be Your Last Battlefield” and it has shaped my view of society greatly.

Even gay men like boobs, it’s kind f built in to us as a species.

Your point would be very persuasive if we already hadn’t had a bunch of high profile bots exposed…

Yet you are encouraging others to NOT vote for the non-fascist?

- Comment on Why does the USA have so few legal protections for ordinary people, and how can we change that? 3 months ago:
If we get a jan6 2.0, that is literally the last resort.
I’m hoping no human ever kills or dies for a political ideology but I am not that naive to think that blood won’t be spilled.
It already has, boogaloo boys and streaming church shooters.
And let us not forget there has never once been a successful capitulation with fascists, ever.
- Comment on Why does the USA have so few legal protections for ordinary people, and how can we change that? 3 months ago:
Which is why I support food shoplifting and radical community cooperation.
Also why it’s a tragedy that so much of this site is anti-religious, because churches were the original social safety net.
Religion has an organizing and empathizing trend, and I think it is a mistake to consider a secular society as better for the average human.

The unfortunate fact is it is a dog eat dog world
No it’s not, that’s zero sum owner class propaganda designed to force us to waste energy competing with our peers instead of fighting them
Humans have created a haven away from ‘nature red in tooth and claw’ where we DON’T have to compete with each other, and mutualism without profit is possible, it is literally the greatest achievement of our species, to short circuit natural selection.
In human culture, the weak and sick don’t have to be sacrificed for the good of the whole, and we can support a wide and diverse service and goods structure BECAUSE we have moved on from natural selection.
The problem is, predatory practices are often more rewarding short term than cooperative practices, and humans are geared for short term planning.
You get more food now for killing the farmer and taking his cattle, but you get more food for everyone forever if you let that farmer prosper.
Bandits kill the farmer, they are the ones telling you it is a dog eat dog world.
The farmer will tell you that the world is full of bounty if you put the effort in to cultivate it.
Yes a bandit uses less energy, and has more short term profit, but degrades the entire total outcome of the system by their greed.

No that hasn’t worked either. We need something new, not ideals from before the existence of the transistor.

Close, I said ‘bloody revolution’ but your response is more marketable.

if corporations were people, most would literally be narcissistic sociopaths, which is of course why the owner class likes them so much.
- Comment on Why does the USA have so few legal protections for ordinary people, and how can we change that? 3 months ago:
Why: Because we are, and always have been, an oligarchy
How to fix: Bloody revolution, that’s about it.
The owner class never give up their power willingly, and we can’t afford to bribe the politicians enough to force them to.

Don’t forget ‘and are largely owned by old rich conservative white men with a vested interest in keeping a black woman who would raise their taxes out of office’.
