Do you know why I pulled you over? No? Your joke detector is dysfunctional. I’ll let you go with a warning this time, but you need to get that checked out asap.

It’s funny because it’s so dumb it’s funny. If you actually think the meme is unironically based, well that’s pretty stupid as well and therefore also funny.

Yeah also generic anti-virals don’t exist like they do as antibiotics. There’s no cure for the common cold.

Naw. “observing” doesn’t mean, a human looks at the data. It means, we force the particle to be in one place on a quantum level. the word “observation” is overloaded in some sense

Ah yes bp famously wants to replace all fossil fuels with renewables. good point /s
- Comment on Spicy Air ☢️ 3 weeks ago:
Yes, obviously nobidy argues that. I don’t see how I brought that up
- Comment on Spicy Air ☢️ 3 weeks ago:
Nuclear is the best btw
Naw. I was once enrolled in an Energy/Climate-focussed Masters degree, and scientific consensus for the goal generally seemed to range from “mostly renewables + a tiny bit of nuclear” to “all renewables”. Nuclear feels like this amazing hack but it’s expensive, and the storage problem, while sometimes overstated, is also often understated or falsely misrepresented as solved.
- Comment on Spicy Air ☢️ 3 weeks ago:
Two things can be true.
Nuclear energy can be prohibitively expensive and impractical and have a massive storage problem. And fossil energy can still be even worse with externalities.
My 2 cents:
For the case of Germany, yeah it would be batshit crazy to build new nuclear reactors right now. Completely irrational. But turning off the existing ones prematurely was a grandiose idiot move and here we are still mining brown coal. People hold up the “but the nuclear plants that got shut down were replaced with renewables, not coal”. Yeah, well those renewables were supposed to replace the coal.

Pure objective fact lmao cmon. Okay I hear you though, I wasn’t sure what you meant by communism but I think I get what you mean now. I’m only something of a Marxist and I don’t really consider myself a communist in that sense If you’re interested in a discussion let’s try to find some common ground. What aspects of capitalism do you like? Markets and decentralized production? I like those too, although I think they should be used as means to an end, not worshipped as the end itself.
- Comment on 30 seconds after an "Anarchist" brings up Israel: 5 weeks ago:
You clearly have a stereotype in mind. Anarchists come in all shapes and sizes and all walks of life. As an example, David Graeber was a level-headed, down-to-earth author, a respected academic, who wrote some incredible books which I all recommend (and they aren’t anarchist theory books, they cover various topics and are easy and fun to read)
- Comment on You have nothing to lose but your brains 5 weeks ago:
You didn’t answer my question and you ignored my point.
Communism can mean many things, and many things that call themselves communism have very little to nothing to do with what Marx wrote about. As an aside, Marx was not just a grumpy philosopher, he was also an economist who laid the foundation for thinking of the economy in terms of power, ownership and democracy. The Marxian school of economics is still influential today.
Your ramblings about “communism has always failed” leads me to believe that you are talking about Marxism-Leninism, which I also believe is outdated and dominated by dogmatic thinking, but I digress. Let’s increase our scope to socialism as a whole. Now let me rephrase: Existing socialism has worked many times, but has always been stomped out by brutal capitalist imperialism. A brief look at the history of central and south america, and all other colonially exploited areas should show you that the system that has produced the most suffering, destroyed the most democracies, is capitalism. Let me rephrase: Capitalism has never worked.
So again, what kind of economic system do you advocate for?

I can confirm your statement about Germany haha but I’ve never seen a 24hr supermarket in the Netherlands or France either

Communism can mean a lot of different things. What kind of economic system do you advocate for?

It means “session”, which also derives from sitting.

It shouldn’t be for anybody who calls themselves an anarchist

- Comment on klown show 6 x-treme 5 weeks ago:
The app starting with K is probably a nod to how KDE names many of their projects something that starts with K. (Konsole, Kate, Kdenlive, Krita).
The litoris part probably refers to how linux apps often name things after random weird stuff, e.g. gimp, but it’s not always genital/sexual related I guess.

sudo rpm-ostree install meow

I’ve never heard gimp used that eay luckily, only the sexual slave fetish thing.
Pinta is more of a paint.NET alternative than a gimp alternative
