Not much of a conversation on your part though is there? You found one part to disagree with, and didn’t answer any of my points.
Which is how they, the oligarchy, et al, teach partizans to defeat reason.

Sometimes, yes. A large amount of the time in fact. You obviously have never been without health insurance, and with only good insurance if you don’t know that.
But the law as written is dishonest. and geared for the most incapable. Neverminding the latter, Marijuana for instance, has a level that makes anyone driving within a week or two of smoking guilty, at the polices’ pleasure, of driving intoxicated. Even legal states, it’s still like 4 ng/ml of blood, an infetestimally low amount, before legalization any amount would suffice, and they round up to 1 ng/ml even though the false positives on amounts that low are 40%. Tylenol is one source of the false positives but I digress.
The law is dishonest, and medical personnel are often as well though many are not, the system and laws themselves are dishonest, and that leads to even the honest medical personnel following the rules giving inaccurate information. If they told the truth in some cases, they would be drummed out of the corp in fact.
We could talk all day about this in fact.

You seem to be giving a lot of deference to the police in this. In case you didn’t know, they lie.

Ha ha, calling the cops booking you a cunt might lead to an early death. It’s south america now, nobody gives a shit. They have the power, be respectful.

If it is a felony, as is the case with 3rd offense drunk driving charges in states I’m familiar with, or whatever it is, they will hunt you across the country. The feds will hunt you down for a misdemeanor I hear, especially for marijuana.
But state misdemeanor charges are a bench warrant. They wait until you show on their radar, and they won’t generally extradite you farther than 100 miles.

This story cannot be truthful I feel. Shit doesn’t come out “sideways,” if you take a lot of morphine or something you can get really big shits, but if your asshole ripped, no one could just sew it up like that.
I call bullshit.

The prosecutors won’t enforce the laws against them, and the courts wouldn’t accept it if they did.
Seems pretty straightforward to me.
This post reads like an llm agent trying to play human. Probably not that idk. But over 50% of engagement is from chatbots now across social media.

I think their pudding was introduced in food rationing during some war or another. To let the meat and such go farther, they made pudding from things like leftover bread and whatever.
- Comment on $1.8 trillion was wiped out from the US stock market yesterday, where did it go? 1 week ago:
Idk about that, no perfect metric, but a company that earns 15 billion a year, and is likely to continue to do so, is worth about a billion in stock price.
Obviously tech especially is out of whack. The entire market is out of whack, partly because the last two big downturns had the government bailing them out to make more than if the market didn’t crash at all.
But the lack of enforcements of regulations or consequences, is another big factor, and there are others.
That said, I don’t think late stage capitalism even captures where we are right now. It’s an oligarchy, a partial fascist one, a police state. Plus the government is taking stock in companies now. Intel, now this Venezuela oil deal, (a joke, they can’t get any more oil to speak of, not even in the 25 years their contract is for, that’s why the oil majors declined, but that’s another story, other than the government gets to buy at production cost, and gets like 25 percent of the company.)
It’s oligarchic repression, sliding into authoritarianism. But my argument is admittedly just semantic and not well fleshed out perhaps.

You don’t need a business degree to know you are correct here. Someone whom may or may not be I has one though, and you are correct.

P/E ratio, price to earnings, is key to judging intrinsic wealth, although earnings can be a bit squishy of a metric. 15/1, 13/1, and thereabouts depending on sector is traditional. Tesla is trading at like 552 price to one earning. Other tech companies are also most overpriced but much of the market is also to a lesser degree.

Those goods in US stores were all designed in the US originally, and made in China. Now maybe they tweak the design, but they didn’t come up with it, wall street gave them all of our tech to save a buck on labour and environmental, and not have to mess around with any of those pesky democratic norms.
The dollar store sales are often the defectively designed products, as are all the manufactured goods for that matter, the redesigns are to save money on materials. Less of this, cheaper of that, to the point it breaks and then you buy the same product so many times it cost more than if they still built quality for more money.

Dollar tree is the only one left in the US, where I’m at, that still adheres to the principle, charging 1.50 now per item excepting the 5 dollar aisle. The rest are what you describe in Australia.
- Comment on You all know someone 3 weeks ago:
In the US, Dollar Tree is the only one adhering to the dollar store principal, now at 1.50, (giving you a real measure of inflation, that in 10 years it went from 1 to 1.5,) while the rest charge much more for everything, being no different in price and quality from kmart or target, if not more expensive.

Indeed, without competition and regulation the free market doesn’t work, and never has.
The manufacturers are in Trusts, secretly cooperating on not competing and maximizing profit at the expense of consumers and product and service quality.
That said, we still shouldn’t buy their shit when possible, and to disable problematic things when possible, (which is a federal crime, introduced in the 90’s at the behest of CD companies/record companies, whereby any type of digital lock cannot be broken without suffering 4 years in federal prison.

They already do with remote starts with some vehicles. I forget which.
Also some cars I think use your phone as the key, so if you lose your phone, it breaks, is hacked, turned off, stolen, etcetera, you can’t use your vehicle.

Off subject, but I wonder if these UAP sightings by the air force and navy are optical illusions, perhaps projected onto windshields.
Because they were shown to be defying physics, it’s the least fantastical explanation I can think of that fits what is undeniably true, those that deny the facts as they are notwithstanding.

Wait, xlcd? One of my laptops had the keys randomly not do what they are supposed to, and some give values like that, but it will give like three of those, than switch to another string to endlessly repeat after that. I don’t know what the fuck is going on.

Sounds like a synergestic game changing strategy, it is historic, unprecedented really.

Well medically it’s a term to describe dementia.
Ie, the president. The body’s internal clock becomes disconnected from the brain, and they stay up all night, then sleep in the day. That is why the old bitch keeps falling asleep if no one is actively talking about him or praising him.
- Comment on Heat pumps and insulation would cut UK living costs more than new oilfields, study suggests 3 weeks ago:
The UK is perfect for heat pumps too I think. I know they improved for colder areas but ten years back at least they could fully heat a place in the Pacific Northwest which is pretty similar I think in temperatures. Whereas I was told in the continental climate west of the cascade mountains in the us you would need to supplement other heat.

You sold me. Unfortunately I don’t know if I can even remember all my handle, but I should try. Although the data scrapers have it all already by now, at least reddit and new crawlers won’t.

I kind of wanted to leave mine up for posterity though. For the real people that may come across the stuff. But perhaps that was a mistake I’ve been turning that over, wondering if I should’ve just deleted it all.

If it keeps happening, search your ip on the internet blacklits, just search that and click on the site and they will do it for you, there are several dozens.
After multiple emails and other sign ups were immediately frozen, leaving me unable to get an email even, I checked and found I was on one, all I did was read the news and comment on social media, and work stuff. I think Israel is putting people on there that piss them off.

Plus when reveddit stopped working, at least with that I could see what comments were being auto removed by mods or admin without notice. And other details. That was in 2024 I think.

I got a violation, (never banned yet but went through maybe 10 accounts in 3 years of use,) one of the later ones was for suggesting Musk should ride his spaceships up into orbit.
Apparently it’s threatening violence. Appeal denied.

They have ads? Joking but I never saw any with firefox on ublock. So at least I screwed them back a little, but they got all my comments for free, no small thing adding up all of our contributions, worth more than the ad revenue in many ways.
