- Comment on Why is leadership valued so much over expertise? 1 day ago:
All the answers are bullshit. The real explanation is that leaders set salaries. Of course they’re going to value themselves over others. Then they’re going to rationalise it with the bullshit you see in this thread about “force multipliers” etc… it’s basic capitalism. It’s the same reason politicians in the us have free healthcare and great vacation and benefits and salaries rising above inflation, the people who control these things always make sure they get what’s fair then make excuses for why no one else does.
- Comment on Do you struggle with reaching nirvana via basic bitch meditation? I have a better way, friend 3 days ago:
Look up Unitarian Universalism. It’s basically a secular religion based around progressive values rather than trying to appease God.

Those are likely PET bottles which are highly recyclable. There are a few plastics that are recyclable in large enough pieces. It’s just that so much of our packaging and products are just mixed or thin plastics with a lot of printing which are not in any way recyclable.
Now when I say recyclable I mean plausibly do-able at scale, with a decent quality output material suitable as feedstock for manufacturing, not profitably recyclable. I don’t think any plastic recycling is profitable.

Race play is the same as cnc… There is something that causes you anxiety or pain or trauma in real life, then you release that anxiety through sexualization of your fear because it now becomes something you control.
- Comment on Sorry, honey 1 week ago:
Yeah cnc isn’t about non consent… It’s about CONSENTING TO PRETENDING TO RAPE… Having sex with someone who is asleep who consented to that scenario isn’t cnc… It’s just consensual sex… Not even very kinky sex at that.

My man doesn’t understand the concept of satire and parody
If you take something anti-Semites would say and you take it to a point of absurdity that’s MAKING FUN OF ANTI-SEMITES not being one. Jeez you Zionists sure are sensitive bunch for a group of people who support war crimes, killing babies, and raping prisoners.

You understand that saying “Jews control Israel” isn’t antisemitic right… Bibi himself constantly repeats that Israel is a Jewish state, the Jewish homeland etc…
It’s in no way implying the Jews control any other part of the world.

Anecdotes aren’t data points either. For data points to become useful data they have to be standardised across parameters to create valid correlations. Anecdotes are not that.

This chart is good for hookups. In long term relationships you can negotiate things like asleep and inebriated while sober or through long term safe sane and consensual escalation. Then you get to enjoy things that are hard to enjoy ethically with a stranger. Hell in most kinky contexts most of these are yes and are replaced with a safeword for “no” but you need more trust for that than you can muster with most strangers.

- Comment on Is it weird that I cringe whenever someone calls my name and I avoid using peoples names when talking to them? 5 weeks ago:
They’re usually just trying to remember your name so they repeat it a few times in the first few conversations and whenever they forget.
I used to feel like you to some extent and I realised that it takes me a long time to remember people’s names, and part of why I hated hearing my name is because it reminded me that I might not know the other person’s name and they might be upset that I don’t remember it like they remember mine. That was my “trauma” that made me hate hearing my name in conversation.
- Comment on Is a relationship necessary in 2026? 1 month ago:
Your problem is treating women as an amorphous mass with uniform characteristics.
Women are like everyone else. If you’re only meeting trash level women who just want to lay back and be treated to the high life and give nothing in return then the question is: why aren’t you seeing women who value character and individually?
In general it’s likely you don’t have much of it to offer. Work on your skills and interests. Make at least 10-20 friends you see at least a handful of times per year. Once you do that you’ll have what you need to find the kind of women you’re interested in because you’ll be the kind of person who is interesting to them. Nobody wants to be with a friendless loser with no interests except toxic online communities. That’s a charity, not a relationship.
Also chill with the “experienced” women stuff. That’s just your own insecurity. You’re scared of being compared unfavorably with past partners. I get that. When you’re with a partner they chose you though so on the whole they like you more than past partners. Plus if you just pay attention, ask, and listen, you’ll be among their best sexual partners in the long run because you stuck around and learned what worked well and built the sexual chemistry. Plus women who have been with a few partners are much better sexual partners than those who haven’t. They’re more skilled and more confident and a confident sexual partner is a thing to behold. Same is true for men so don’t be scared to experiment with different partners.

I did the same using GDP. About 10 years ago the numbers were like this in Canada: the average income was $56k the average tax burden is $7k and the GDP per WORKER was $90k. It’s so funny to watch people complain about the $7k the hobby takes to build society when you ignore the $44k in profit you generate for the rich.
The beauty of the stepped back approach is that because all wages are included and all economic output is captured you don’t need to solve for c, it’s included in wages and surplus value.
The machinery of capital is built on a large pile of labor + stolen surplus value all the way down to the raw material. So it’s all captured with the above.
- Comment on You okay babe? 1 month ago:
That’s exactly it. Sure taxes take 40%, but capitalists take 100-1000% of your salary, and last I checked they don’t build roads and schools.

I mean it looks like you two are living by the fall asleep with the same energy playbook so good work! At least you’re using some good tag team logic. I love the collaboration.
- Comment on She only wanted the ring bros 2 months ago:
That’s nonsense. Raising young kids is more work than most jobs, sure. But that’s not because it has equal work density. It’s an exhausting 20h/day 7d/week low-med effort task. A job is a 8-12h/day 5-6d/wk med-high energy task. Miss me with that 50/50 as soon as you come home crap. That’s a ridiculous goal. Not to mention you shouldn’t be wasting time making a mental accounting spreadsheet to figure out if your partner did enough work to deserve sex that day.
Ideally everyone should have put in the same effort into the day and both partners should have the same energy level going to bed. Some days you both fall asleep dead, knowing you’ll wake up in two hours with the baby crying. Some days you get to bed with a little extra energy and the baby is sleeping through the night and maybe you have to think of something to do with that extra energy.
It’s obvious you’ll have less sex with a tiny baby just from the exhaustion, but if you’re wasting energy resenting eachother because of low effort, unrealistic expectations, or withholding sex, then maybe y’all need to consider whether you need to work on your relationship or look for another one. Because some of what I’ve read in this thread on both sides sounds more exhausting than single parenting 50% of the time and working a full time job.

They may be fragile but they are also extremely strong compared to a person. Here is a Tesla bot falling and hitting a closed water bottle hard enough to send water spraying. No human would do that as an international action.

Maybe they’re not stronger in the absolute, but you never find a human just giving 100% power by accident, we also sense unintended contact, or unexpected material yield and adjust our force. And maybe that’s the problem here, robots constantly glitch and just give 100% force to whatever is around them.
- Comment on The Future is Now! 2 months ago:
The most terrifying thing about these robots is their insane power density. If you were walking around and saw that you wouldn’t feel at risk. It has the strength to tear its metal and plastic body to dust. We just saw it. No human could do that, yet these robots deceive us with their human like appearance.
The slightest twitch, error, our bug and they turn into human meat blenders killing anyone around them. Even worse is intentional harm by the owner… And the manufacturer will often have an override access letting them theoretically possess a robot army at will with only their good virtue stopping them. Elon Musk is about to have this…
The future is going to be a weird and dangerous place!

Yeah, not understanding math and statistics makes propaganda so easy! I’ve seen so many people invest their savings into things that were mathematically or physically impossible from the get go. Gambling too!

So your ideal school has no physical activity, no culture, and is filled with memorization of things that don’t matter. Wow sounds like you’ve spent at least 15 seconds thinking about this. Thanks for sharing!

Legalization/decriminalization is great, I have nothing against that. I just have a hard time seeing how drug enhanced competitions don’t turn into people dying for our entertainment.
- Comment on normulize leguana 2 months ago:
I’ve thought about this a lot and I’ve gone back to being against it. A lot of performance enhancing drugs push your cardiovascular system pretty hard. If everyone is trying to juice as much as possible to win, they’ll end up competing to getting as close to death as possible for our entertainment to achieve the max performance. They’re either killing themselves in the process or shaving decades off their natural lifespans. I don’t know if creating such a system would be ethical.
