Communism as practiced so far sucks, and maybe it can’t be done.
Capitalism practiced perfectly sucks for everyone but the filthy rich, eventually. That eventuality happens to be upon us now.

- Comment on Is a black hole spherical? How come it looks different each way you view it like on it's side or up and down? 5 days ago:
I think they are spherical, but there is stuff surrounding it, and also the gravity bends the light around it. That’s what give them the weird appearance.
Just a guess. I dunno anything.

- Comment on Bit harsh? 5 days ago:
I grew up in California, and moved to New Mexico. I should have taken Spanish in high school, instead of French.
Most people who speak more than one language also speak English, so I don’t really NEED to learn another language. Also, I don’t talk to people much.
- Comment on Bit harsh? 5 days ago:
I already don’t talk to the people who speak my language.
- Comment on School pupils to be taught strangling during sex is illegal in new lessons 6 days ago:
So, it’s okay to strangle or suffocate someone if they aren’t having sex? Did they need a new law for this?
You just made this kink more taboo, you fucking idiots.
- Comment on Bodycam footage reveals the Governor of Nevada abusing his power to get out of trouble after running a red light 6 days ago:
Power corrupts. The longer they’re in power, the more power they have, and the more times they get away with abusing it, the worse it gets.
This is why we need term limits for Congress. It’s not about age, it’s about how long they stay in office. Age doesn’t corrupt, power does. We need term limits for Congress so corrupt politicians can’t stay entrenched.
- Comment on Is it reasonable to tell a person you once loved about the fact years later? 6 days ago:
I’m 60. I’ve been around the block more than a few times.
No, you haven’t “moved on”, you’re in here asking about her. That’s not moving on.
Let it go, find someone now, stop pining over past attractions. You’re just wasting your time.
In my experience, this sort of thing never works out the way you hope. Assuming she remembers you, she’ll be polite but confused and possibly dismissive. This is the best you’ll get. It’s not worth the effort, and it might be a blow to your ego, since you’re even considering this.
Find someone new, here, and now. Leave the past in the past. There are plenty of girls out there, go practice on them. Failure is how you learn, don’t be afraid of failing, failing is good, failing is fun, don’t take it personally, just move on to the next adventure. Yes, I said “failing is fun”, it really is if you look at it the right way. Would you only play basketball if every shot was guaranteed? Do you play games on god mode? Winning every time is boring, you know that. So, get out there and fail, and have fun doing it.

- Comment on Is it even possible to drop 20 lbs in a month? Are there any diets for people who want to go to the extreme? Kind of like celebs do for roles? 6 days ago:
Yes, and more. I dropped 40 pounds in about a month. Although it was due to extreme stress, so I don’t recommend that. But, it is physically possible, so there are other routes you can try.
You’ve probably heard it before, but the key to quick fat loss is dropping carbs, including beer. Sorry.
Track your carbs using a macro tracking app, because you don’t know how many carbs you are eating, you just don’t, and you’ll be surprised. Once you learn which foods are full of carbs, you can stop using the app, it’s just a learning tool, not something you need to keep doing.
Get it below 100g a day, and watch the fat burn away, and you’ll start feeling so much better, after the first couple of weeks. It can be a hard adjustment for some people, but it’s worth it.
Exercise is only about 20% of it, diet is 80%, which makes sense. It’s much easier to not consume the food in the first place, than to burn it off after it’s already fat.
However, to be healthy, not just lose fat, you need to do both diet and exercise. That’s why it’s always presented that way--“diet AND exercise”, not “diet OR exercise”.
It’s best to make the commitment to a permanent lifestyle change, rather than just aiming for a goal weight and then going back to drinking beer every day. You’ll QUICKLY gain the fat back, faster than you lost it, and that is disheartening.
If you just give up, you could end up with type 2 diabetes in 15 or 20 years, and that makes being old much worse. So, it’s worth the effort.
- Comment on what's the deal with Data centers and why do we all of a sudden need massive ones built all over everywhere? 6 days ago:
Whatever they might be able to replace humans for, they can’t do it anywhere as cheaply as a human. So, the results would need to be very valuable. Outside of scientific research, which would still need to be verified and refined by humans, I don’t see a sustainable use for these things. They’re way, way too costly to use as a toy for the masses, that will soon be shut down.
- Comment on How often is normal to masturbate? 1 week ago:
60-year-old divorced male. Once a day, most days. I miss about two days a month, for various reasons.
When I was a teen, I’d rub myself raw.
Between about 20 to 40, it was two or three times a day. It’s slowly petered off since then.

- Comment on "it only takes one slow walking person in the grocery store to destroy the illusion that you're a nice person." 1 week ago:
I don’t let it get to me.
I usually go through the store following the same path, picking up the same items every week. If something is blocking the way, I’ll skip the aisle and come back to it. Every time, when I come back, the aisle is clear.
No one owes me anything. They don’t owe me walking faster, or staying out of the aisle, or whatever other little things people bitch about because apparently they’ve run out of important things to bitch about. Life should be so good for all of us.
