I hate “whatever the fuck is happening right now”. Give it a different name, I don’t care.

Almost no person is for a comple anarcho-capitalism with zero regulations, that is correct. That also sounds like a very extreme view that goes directly against human nature. However, a lot of powerful people have figured out they can control the governing bodies against their competitors. The end-game is not “perfect” capitalism, it is some form of oligarchy, like Russia in the 90s and 2000s.
Still fucking sucks, and still a form of those with capital ruling over those without.

Nah, I plan to be shot like a real man. But hey, maybe I’d look good during it…

But, consider this: there was a time from before two decades ago. There are rumours that there are even people who are older than 20. Scary, I know.

Nah. Plenty of decent, intelligent, moral, overall good people out there.
That is what makes things so sad.
I wish I could say “fuck those idiots, I’ll piss on their graves”. But nooo, that’s too easy.

I don’t understand the last point. If anyone, regardless of gender, were to punch me, and broke their own hand, I could hardly prevent that, right? Unless by dodging, in which case the punching and hand breaking does not apply at all. I can’t make my skull less hard.

I have to admit, I have never had a shoe resoled. I should start doing that. Problem of living in a country (and world) where buying new is cheaper than repairing :(

Mate, if you were orbiting her, she has too much mass. Perform a slingshot manoeuver and reach escape velocity.

Meh, count your blessings. I know a guy that is over 6’8 and super thin. I am rather of average height and width, and still able to fit comfortably into seats.

Honestly, that is lack of training and/or technique. If you hit someone and break your own hand, you should either hit them less hard or it’s a life-or-death situation and a broken hand is the least or your worries, right?
- Comment on Me after Jerboa announced it is ending support 1 week ago:
The difference is, they want to remove side loading.
That means all apps need to go through play store. No more f-droid on certified android devices. You need to be on play store, or your app is not installable.

My guy, it is not 1970 any more, you can throw that monochrome computer away. I heard they even come with more than 256 colors these days, and some even have more than 640kB RAM!

Same. My usual failure mode is wearing through the soles. I wear through a pair of “general purpose” shoes in 2-3 years, and I have boots from 10+ years ago that just start to show the first issues.

Ah, the classic water glass ballast, for when you want to do microwave shenanigans, but not 800W worth of shenanigans

Well, not any more apparently

Fuck that, they can do their own market research. I am not their marketing department, I am not helping them build profiles of their customers for a few cents bonus. That shit is straight out of a 2000s dystopian speculative documentation.
- Comment on Unexpected item in the bagging area! 2 weeks ago:
I’ve been thinking about this for quite some time. Short-term thinking is the one big bad effect of modern turbo capitalism. Since we cannot have nice things, and are stuck with the current shitty system, could we at least come up with a way to make people in positions of power interested in the long term? Like, monthly payment in stocks that they are forced to hold for ten years or so? You can get a credit against those stocks, but at the end of the day, you would need to care that the company still exists and has worth in ten years.
- Comment on Anon pets a dog 2 weeks ago:
Yup, some people recommend actually scaring wild animals away and not attracting them, for exactly that reason. A wolf that has learned that hanging out with humans means food becomes a safety risk and is likely going to be shot one way or the other.
The kid didn’t know, of course. But we should let wild animals be wild animals, and get our stone-age desire to pet wolves from some wolf sanctuary or something, where the wolves are used to humans anyway.

Ah, that sucks to hear. I’m absolutely with the university on this. Not because he doesn’t deserve a mental challenge, but because he deserves to be a silly kid.

Dipole? Kinky!
I am old-fashioned, I just use my trusty quarter wave monopole. No need to get fancy, at the end of the day any good standing wave does the job if you get in resonance.
Honestly, even a shortened monopole is perfectly fine. Take your time to tune it to the signal properly, and it’ll work.

Okay: it criticized the corporate bullshit machine, how it promotes short-term thinking, and how it turns hopeful, creative people into burned out cynics. Yes, it had flaws, it overused the “work, amiright” trope and it liked to kick downwards, for instance. But at its core it was a sarcastic criticism of capitalism and our broken society that resonated with lots of people. Even if it never spelled such things out.
Doesn’t excuse the author being a racist asshole, of course.

Meh. Beef is pretty expensive to create in terms of raw resources and work. Much cheaper to just turn the cattle feed into human food.

so they didn’t know they would be killing people? That the war was unjust? Have they paid attention to any war the US was in before signing up for the least moral army in the world?
Exactly my point. Propaganda and group pressure are strong factors. Army recruiters don’t exactly go around showing you videos of war crimes. This does not absolve anyone from making their own decisions, of course. And once you are in, getting out is hard, and you are actively pressured against it.
yeah they run for congress
they do not “believe they did the right thing”
Aren’t those two statements contradicting each other? The guy you quote seems to believe he was doing nothing wrong.
My statements may be a bit generalising, but I would bet a surprisingly large chunk of people who are part of war crimes and abuse do not believe they were in the wrong. Now, why they do this is a good question, maybe it is the mind trying to protect itself, maybe they are really the kind of psychopaths that are usually kept in check by society.
the gas chambers famously weren’t ok after, but a complete mess
I would love to see some sources for that, because from all the anecdotes I have heard, many people who were actively involved in the Nazi genocides were mostly concerned about persecution.
no abuse similar to abu ghraib or the concentration camps is known to me
A statement I would have expected more from a .ml user.

That is certainly some experience, and a good life lesson. I just want to remark, if my best friends disappeared for a week, I would assume they just wanted to disappear for a week, and had their reasons to not tell me. Doesn’t mean I don’t care about them.
