Wherever I wander I wonder whether I’ll ever find a place to call home…

The real problem is using hardware that won’t corrupt over time and keeping it out of the elements

That’s gotta be it. Doctors and lawyers might retire with a net worth of $15M.
Billionaire oligarchs make that much in less than a month.

Even before 2021, the disparity was already so great it wouldn’t have fit.
- Comment on Enshittiflation 14 hours ago:
Even in 2019 when I took an intro to ethics class, we read an essay on wealth disparity and even then, the top 1% didn’t even fit in the same graph as everyone else.

And yet they still probably get all smug and call people dumbasses when they do the wrong thing…
- Comment on Enshittiflation 22 hours ago:
That can’t be accurate. The reality is way worse. The top 1% wouldn’t even be visible on the chart at that scale. What am I missing?

Yeah, do the work they’re paying you for. If they’re underpaying you, do the amount of work what they’re paying you is worth. Companies need to learn that workers have leverage/bargaining power.

Except, in capitalism, there is no “actually relax the next day.”
There’s always more work to do. You wake up the next day and do it all again. You make it to the end of the week, and on Saturday you catch up on all the shit around the house you didn’t get to. Sunday you have more shit to do. Monday comes and you go back to work.
A side effect of the alienation of labor is that there’s no incentive to “get it all done and then relax the next day.” No, you get it all done and then it’s onto the next job. If you go above and beyond, you set a new precedent and then your boss expects that from you every day from now on, and if you revert to a “normal” pace then you get reprimanded.

Some people are underprivileged and grow up in inner city neighborhoods where they have no access to reliable transportation to wilderness areas or even urban greenspace. It’s not always a “touch grass” situation.
Me, I grew up eating dirt and berries that I was pretty sure weren’t poisonous. I didn’t believe in washing my hands too much because I thought it would weaken my immune system.
The thing is, being familiar with nature didn’t help me navigate social situations. Someone who grew up in a city and has never seen a real forest is probably wayyy better adjusted and socially-integrated than I’ll ever be…

All of the greatest inventions which revolutionized key aspects of our daily lives have begun in aerospace engineering.
Pens that write upside down. Ice cream that doesn’t melt. Cock socks that don’t leak and are easy to clean.
This is why we fund NASA!

Dude, I’m so geeked out about the digital archaeology that will take place in the post-apocalyptic civilizational reboot.
I wish I could be alive to see it, but the best I can do is start hoarding data now so that whoever finds it centuries from now will thank the nameless individual who preserved that one sliver of human knowledge for posterity…

Not necessarily. Roll a twenty-sided die twenty times, and you’re not guaranteed to roll every number.
Roll an infinite-sided die infinity times, and there’s no guarantee either.

Yeah, exactly. This graphic is really bad. I guess it’s supposed to be incorrect, but it sends a bad message.
Also, the only people calling anyone “shitlibs” are literal tankies. Sane leftists don’t call anyone “shitlib.”
Any leftist to the right of my on the spectrum is probably considered center-left. I prefer democratic socialism and/or social democracy, using incremental progress to achieve leftist reform.
People are allowed to have different opinions than me. That’s what democracy is. But no one can be allowed to be authoritarian in a democracy, because authoritarianism is incompatible with democracy and a danger to it.
Authoritarians don’t respect diversity of opinion, they don’t tolerate differences. So I’m so tired of authoritarian-minded people whining and calling me intolerant just because I shut them down when they’re trying to dominate others.

Oh yeah, I forgot you know more about my dick than I do. The knuckle isn’t a perfect analogy, but that’s no reason to ignore the main point, which is that the glans itself is physically different on circumcised penises because of the friction it’s exposed to throughout the day.
You’re the one peddling misinformation by pretending there’s no difference between circumcised and uncircumcised dicks, and quite frankly with how systemic the problem is, I see no reason to tolerate your bullshit.

I already agreed that it’s unfeasible, I don’t know why you’re getting so upset. I literally said your gauss cannon idea is better, chill out.

In 1944, freedom was conditional. It depended on fitting into social expectations, on being legible to authority, on not attracting the wrong kind of attention.
If your “freedom” depends on fitting in and not attracting attention, then you’re not free.

Yeah that’s why you do multi-stage like conventional jet -> ramjet -> scramjet
But again, yeah if it needs to carry a rocket then it might be unfeasible. We could try your gauss cannon idea, that sounds fun. Like a maglev train, but shaped like those rides from roller coaster tycoon where you could launch people to their deaths. Except instead of crashing, the rocket kicks on mid-flight. It could work.

This is true. I was circumcized as an infant, and when I started having sex around 19, I wondered why it didn’t feel as good as it was supposed to. I thought I was doing something wrong.
So I tried harder and harder, inexperienced as I was, and didn’t learn how to make sweet, gentle love until much later. Even then, it was more for my partner’s pleasure, because my dick just isn’t that sensitive.
It caused a lot of problems in my relationships early on. Frustration and feelings of inadequacy on both sides, because I was “
hard to satisfy” literally unable to feel satisfactory pleasure… - Comment on type shit 3 days ago:
So a human growing up with a cut foreskin simply adapts and the brain perceives more sensitivity from the other nerves to produce the same levels of sensation.
That is just false. You sound like someone who isn’t circumcised.
Without the foreskin intact, the glans is subject to friction throughout the day as it’s in contact with the inside of one’s clothes. This reduces sensitivity over time and builds thicker, drier, and rougher layers of skin. Whereas the glans of an uncircumcised penis is basically a mucus membrane, on a circumcised penis it’s more like the skin of a knuckle, but thicker.
- Comment on type shit 3 days ago:
Even the glans loses sensitivity. On an uncircumcised penis, that whole area is basically a mucus membrane. On a circumcised penis, it becomes dry an rougher, like the skin on your knuckle. It absolutely does reduce sensitivity.
Also,
I would consider that as much loss of sensitivity as amputating a leg is loss of sensitivity.
You wouldn’t say doctors should amputate babies’ legs to reduce risk of gangrene, would you? How is that even an argument? “Oh, those nerve endings don’t matter cause it’s just like losing a leg, nbd.” What the fuck?
- Comment on type shit 3 days ago:
I was circumcized as an infant without my consent, and my mutilated dick wants you to stop downplaying the severity of its fate.
A piece of me is literally missing, and you want to say I’m not mutilated because that would offend you? Why, do you have uncomfortable feelings about your own situation that you refuse to examine?

I thought scramjets were supposed to be really fuel-efficient? Just launch them with your gauss cannon idea so that they don’t need much fuel to get up to speed.
Maybe you’re right about the weight though. I’m not an engineer.

You could’ve met them at the library and the result would’ve been the same if they asked you to shave. Doesn’t matter how the sex was.
