What better way to fight your enemies than selling them all armaments and watch them go at each other’s throat.

Hot take incoming.
Turns out, Bin Laden was right, we should have not become so deeply invested in the middle east like we have and should have left it. Militarily and essentially colonialism of territory for oil.

I don’t see people stealing food.

That’s the neat thing, it isn’t for us.
My boss makes a dollar, I make a dime,
This rhyme comes from a different time,
My boss makes a dollar, I make a cent,
That’s why I can no longer afford rent.

Everyone has knees.
- Comment on why do we punish people when nothing bad happened ? 5 days ago:
I go around waving a gun around that’s loaded and safety off at the range. Nothing bad happens, but I took a risk that put not just myself but EVERYONE ELSE in danger.
- Comment on why do we punish people when nothing bad happened ? 5 days ago:
- Cars are generally made to take impacts at certain, reasonable speeds. Going too fast and the safety features may fail. Add in your response time goes DOWN significantly as well. So you’re going 40 in a thirty and a kid runs out in front of your car. That’s more energy needed to stop from turning the kid into a road statistic. When you’re speeding, you’re gambling or taking a mathematical risk. And I’m here to tell you, luck runs out or a lot of people are really bad at math.
- This goes with the end of number 1. You’re taking a risk, you’re significantly increasing the chance something WILL happen. The Tesla cars are not “self driving” as it’s been showed to be a load of bunk. They can assist heavily but they will make wrong maneuvers given enough time to do so. There’s been at least a dozen articles I’ve seen of a Tesla driver getting into a collision because they were asleep. Most of them end up badly for SOMEONE in the collision.

The Evangalists got the useful idiot they needed that thinks P2025 is a good thing. They want to bring around the end times because they’re fucking wackos. They’re a threat to humanity.
- Comment on Walmart actually teaches their employees how to get food stamps 6 days ago:
Capitalism is all about a few people getting all the capital, if you’re not owning something you’re the worker that they exploit to do so. Billionaires and trillionaires are inevitable in such a system.
- Comment on Walmart actually teaches their employees how to get food stamps 6 days ago:
I remember when I was working at McDondald’s and they never worked me above 32 hours typically. Back then it was 40 as the cutoff. That they’re allowed to scuzz their way around the law through this means we’ll never get equity with our system. They must be punished for such practices.

Most countries that have figured out people have worth beyond the bottom line.

He absolutely has to be, or at least has such brain damage he cannot function properly. They wouldn’t go through so much to hide his state like this.
- Comment on Why is that a problem? Did something bad happen in 1929? 1 week ago:
This time, there’ll be a lot more violence and dead people.
- Comment on My student loan is gaining interest while I'm in school but I'm not allowed to start paying it off yet 2 weeks ago:
Unless something has changed in the past decade, you can still make payments to your loans, you just defer the requirement to do so until 6 months after graduation.
As someone else here said, if you would pay money to a loan while in college, it’d be better to put into a high yield account of some sort to hold onto until after college. From there I would get advice from a finance counselor on what to do with that money, whether save for longer or start it into payments.
- Comment on Anon doesn't have a plan 2 weeks ago:
The thoughts and trauma also don’t just go away, they fade like old scars but sometimes your finger runs over it and you remember how you got it. It leaves you harmed in such a way you now don’t fit in exactly well, if you even did to begin with. Some find solace in pure solitude, others through substances. Neither of those situations is healthy. It’s hard to take the bowl they purposely broke that is you, and glue it back together to continue holding water. It leans, constantly, and no amount of patching fixes it fully or forever.
Why is this relevant? Anon may be such an individual that the idea of even doing something to improve their quality of life seems insurmountable due to depression and trauma. Can’t say for certain, but it was not a single instance.
- Comment on this is so dark, Black Mirror couldn’t have imagined it 3 weeks ago:
Even if the LLM worked flawlessly, you’re just proving your lack of purpose to the company which means they’ll fire you. What do these people even think?!
- Comment on Luigi Mangione sacrificed his freedom for Nothing. 3 weeks ago:
Social murder is what you’re describing. Through policy, red tape, and just wealth inequality people die who didn’t have to.
- Comment on Billionaires hate democracy 3 weeks ago:
Cheaper than what they deserve.
- Comment on The System does not work. 3 weeks ago:
The system only works for the few, as capitalism has always done so. As feudalism before that. The secret ingredient to both systems is systemic racism, oppression, and exploitation.

If Obama had not humiliated him at one of those press dinners who knows, he may have never really ran.

Watch as the metal blade slices through the skin with supreme ease, then continues on through the main muscles of the neck etc?
- Comment on Why does China have so many multi billionaires if they are aiming to be a communist country? 4 weeks ago:
It declared itself communist but history has shown the most countries have gotten is to socialist.
- Comment on Why does China have so many multi billionaires if they are aiming to be a communist country? 4 weeks ago:
China has stopped being communist for a while now, it’s developed into some flavour of capitalist society though I don’t remember much about the different variants. It’s certainly top heavy though like the USA.
- Comment on There’s a lot of confusion about what democratic socialists want, and that’s fair. Even within our group, there are differences among us. 4 weeks ago:
Yeah it’s highly satirical, but I don’t doubt some of MAGA will think it legit. How they react though…
- Comment on greeting a CEO 4 weeks ago:
We were playing couch co-op Halo on my old XBox because he hadn’t played it before.
- Comment on greeting a CEO 4 weeks ago:
I believe that an angled blade would create a more thorough cut as it’s a smaller point of contact for cutting. So it’ll cut through ligaments, maybe even vertebrae. Where as a flat one it is initially a small point that gets bigger which requires more force to go through the neck further.
- Comment on Centrists have such a Hard Choice. 4 weeks ago:
We don’t have a large, cohesive, left party. There are people who are certainly left in the USA, but we have no real representation out of a handful of congress people.
- Comment on The Obama wing of the Democratic Party is declaring “war” on progressives. Why don’t they ever bring this energy against Trump? Why do they hate working class people even more? 4 weeks ago:
The ratchet effect has been going on long enough that the best case scenario is they’re not competent when in power to get anything done.

Oh a little genocide, as a treat.
