- Comment on Gary Stevenson: 'Tax wealth or we'll return to the feudal age' 4 days ago:
Tax Wealth?
I want wealth caps!
Say, 10 million dollars, is simply the maximum amount of money anyone can have / control. Any income after that is 100% taxed
No more extreme riches
Governments get huge influx of resources which they can use for free healthcare, free education, universal basic income
Poverty could disappear. Poverty related crimes could disappear
Companies can no longer have huge share holders and owners, now requiring loads of smaller shareholders.
Limit company worths to max 1 billion too while we’re at it.l, because no ultra large company ever did something that was good for humanity
Now we have boat loads of smaller companies, makes your economy more stable
Since you can’t pass that wealth limit, incentives to screw over customers are gone because it won’t get you more anyway.
I can go on listing the benefits for another hour but you get the idea …
I literally can’t see bad sides to limiting wealth. It’s a simple rule to get control of the narcissist psychopaths that are ruining the world
Why haven’t we ever done that before?

This is basivi when somebody tries to be an atheist in a dogmatic, religious way.
Being atheist, at least to me, means that you don’t care about any of that crap, you just try to be a nice person and let others be
I’m “militant” enough to wish that all religions would be prohibited as they’re nothing but tools for control, but I won’t beat someone over the head for believing in fairytales

- Comment on EU Politicians Investigated Pegasus Spyware. Then It Ended Up on One of Their Phones 1 week ago:
We found that former Member of the European Parliament Stelios Kouloglou was hacked with Pegasus spyware while serving on the PEGA committee, which investigated Pegasus and other spyware abuses in Europe. Through forensic analysis of his device, we found that the attackers could have had access to confidential documents and committee deliberations.
Well that should be a nice addition to their investigation. Talking about your backfire
- Comment on VP Vance Says Watergate Would Now Be 12-Hour News Story and Crazy It Took Down Nixon's Presidency 2 weeks ago:
We’ll for once, he’s not wrong. If Watergate would happen today, it barely would register on the news with all the other shit going on that they cause all day every day
Fuck Vance with a couch

I too always enjoy watching trump pretend he is in a bukake
Shudder
- Comment on GTA 6 Price Finally Confirmed, Features a 'Single-Player Experience' at Launch 2 weeks ago:
GTA 6 physical copies do not include a physical copy, Rockstar has confirmed. They’re just a code in a box
So in other words, that is a fraudulent claim but at this point, who’s counting? I came from a time and place where, if.a company would make such a bullshit claim, they couldn’t get away with “but nobody would ever believe that a physical copy would actually include a physical copy!”, they would be fined heavily.
I propose we make such bullshit claims a criminal act for which the complete C suite can be jailed. Let’s see how fast companies start behaving!
I do wonder though, if the physical game contains a code, the non physical game contains… Nothing? Air? Vacuum? A black hole that swallows you hole? (Yes, that is a pun)
- Comment on What do you think about the dead internet theory? 2 weeks ago:
Exactly
Its called dying.
- Comment on Ubisoft Co-Founder Claude Guillemot Dies In Plane Crash 3 weeks ago:
Also very different airplanes
Commercial airplane crashes always make big news and their crashes in the past always caused improved regulations to the point where there is little left to improve
Private airplanes, on the other hand, different story

I get you. I have an armour 29 pro, the hardware is insanely cool, the software… Meh at best. Still, I’m using it daily and I love the phone but now I feel like I need to fun a bunch of scans on this one too

Nope

I’d go with making each next proton in the universe an anti proton
- Comment on What hot af take do you have that you think you will be HORRIBLY executed and shunned from society for? 3 weeks ago:
Gods very likely do not exist. For all we know, we could be a simulation and there is no way to know for sure beyond dying.
This makes every and all religions, sects, beliefs all fake, frauds, and human made.
Religions are for population control, nothing more nothing less
- Comment on What hot af take do you have that you think you will be HORRIBLY executed and shunned from society for? 3 weeks ago:
No religion is all about peace and more importantly, no religion is real. Gods don’t exist, they’re all human made.
- Comment on What hot af take do you have that you think you will be HORRIBLY executed and shunned from society for? 3 weeks ago:
Nope
Do you know how to run a military? Do you know what environmental regulations should be needed for chemical plants?
I can go on for a while but you get the point
- I’d say I want a democracy where at the least it’s a requirement that those who are temporarily in charge, actually studied the subject matter they’re in charge of. I’ve seen too many ministers be in charge of areas they have no fucking clue about.
You’re in charge of healthcare? Then at the very least you must be a doctor
You’re the minister of justice? At least be a lawyer, or better yet, a judge.
- get rid of political parties, require each minister to be independent. Yes, we need to do more voting and yes, we need to read up on each minister but then lets make voting a holiday so that people can take their time with it. Require that ministers actually implement the things they claimed they would
- Comment on How do you distance yourself from your country when it doesn't represent your views anymore so you won't be viewed by the rest of the world as part of the problem? 3 weeks ago:
Dude, you need to touch some grass
Yeah, situation sucks right now but the world has seen lots worse before. Things will get better
- Comment on Why don't county jails open up their free bed space in times of severe cold and severe heat to the homeless and others and just give them their own cell? And can leave whenever. 4 weeks ago:
Because the prison industrial complex would like a word. Won’t you think of the poor shareholders who wouldn’t be paid for this free hotel service?
Also, if we’re going to do that,.we may as well build actual shelters, give free mental healthcare, etc, and actually fix the problem
- Comment on The hill I will die on: I really don’t like ‘like’ – or other imprecise and redundant speech 4 weeks ago:
Junk speak, like junk food, encourages verbal littering. It has to be one of the worst things about life in Britain
How do you know someone is completely Nout of touch with reality?
You know when they say that the word “like” is one of the worst things about life in Britain…
Really? Is it though? Whenever onder news from Britain, its usually of the “we love fascism!” type abd you are bitching about “like”?
- Comment on Palestine Action Activists Will Be Sentenced As Terrorists, Court Confirms 4 weeks ago:
So what you’re saying is that there is no difference between peaceful protesting and throwing bombs and, say, murdering politicians?
Do you want real terrorism? Because this is how you feed real terrorism
- Comment on Palestine Action Activists Will Be Sentenced As Terrorists, Court Confirms 4 weeks ago:
Oh yes, the terror of asking if a small groups if people can please have the same rights as everybody else
The terror of asking if we can please stop mass murdering babies
Oh the terror
Fuck the fascist UK

So if i just get brakes into space, and we ignore dying from oxygen deprivation, could I die of overheating?
- Comment on 5 weeks ago:
Maybe a hundred by now, lost count. My wife has hundreds more than me, and we keep increasing our numbers together, so to speak. God I love my wife and I love my life
- Comment on 5 weeks ago:
Oh come on
What is degrading about simply stating facts? I’ve had one partner or two or ten, or a hundred or more… What is the degrading part here?
I’ve had sex with hundreds of partners and all of them enjoyed it by my knowing, what is degrading about it? One, two, or a bunch of people having fun together is degrading for you?
My wife has had hundreds of partners too, probably more than I. She is amazing and I respect her to no end. Am I degrading her by saying this? Is it degrading that she likes sex?
Live and let live, buddy. Don’t judge people, and don’t make such a huge deal about sex, it’s not a religion
- Comment on Guerrilla plantfare 5 weeks ago:
And you think these assholes won’t just raze that stuff without a care in the world? Because they will. After that they’ll be sued which will end with a small slap on the hand, combined with “oh you!” and that’s it
It’ll relatively cost you more to buy that tree and plant it, than it’ll cost them to just ignore all that
- Comment on Online influencer Andrew Tate gets a warm welcome in Russia 5 weeks ago:
Why would anyone welcome this loser?
He literally lies about everything, he likes to rape and abduct girls, and … He helps young boys to become losers like him
Awesome.
- Comment on If a God or God's is so Omnipotent why do they or them or he or she, supposedly get angry, show support, enjoy things, have sex (in Greek Gods), or show forgiveness? Are the not all human emotes? 5 weeks ago:
Well for one, they’re all made up and as such, imaginary.
The older religions (Christianity, Islam, etc) were written well before most of our current scientific knowledge was available and as such, things like “omnipotence” being a logically inconsistent idea wasn’t exactly known.
Theae stories have been written by that age’s equivalent of fanboys so it’s no wonder that these rather extreme powers are shown off so much
- Comment on Study Argues Big Tobacco Had Secret Role In Shaping The Ultraprocessed Foods Fed To American Children 5 weeks ago:
They could have used all that research and knowledge to make something of good quality that would ease a mothers busy work day,and be healthy and nice for kids
But of course we just went with the “fuck the kids, we found a way to earn a few more cents by feeding those critters some toxic shit”
