"unproven" because it's Texan. Fuck The Verge, Internet porn addiction is as real as those beetles that have sex with beer bottles because they're brown and perfectly glossy like an ideal mate.

Freak out a little then masturbate all morning for sure.

Ugh I don't know which is worse. Next timeline, portal gun.

Look you're the one who reached your cognitive limit and switched to name calling. Call me whatever you like but you're the one being a petulant child while I was mistakenly attempting to speak with you as if you were capable of engaging in a real conversation.

I brought up points you clearly never knew or thought of and you shut down.

You need to find an echo chamber on Reddit if you want someone to stroke your comfort zone.

You're 12 aren't you?

You're right that you cannot pay a dividend but you missed the check on your knowledge of how wealth and money work: that money doesn't exist. Only a miniscule fraction of that wealth exists as a budget you can just spend as you know it. All that those billionaires have is the ability to tell people what to do and all they can spend is reallocating productivity towards other goals. All the money that actually gets spent goes into other people's pockets and gets spent in turn. The inefficiently in this system is far lower than the inefficiency in a planned economy.

Your grasp of how money works is surface level.

Let's start here: billionaires do not have billions of dollars like Scrooge McDucks swimming in gold. They hold securities for companies that are doing things on the idea that they can sell them and redeploy that capital later.

In other words: the money means nothing. All that wealth means is they're the ones who control resources.

By similar reasoning, modern monetary theory is that government can print money and activate unused resources without driving inflation very much.

So what you want is a planned economy. Soviet style. In fact the language you use makes it clear you're fully bought into tankie propaganda.

There are 3 ways to make people do things: money, love and power. So am I going to give you everything you need because of love? money is clearly not the means to ends in your system. That leaves the threat of unaliving.

And so we're back at gun control, the only way your kind is able to make such a system work: by killing everyone who disagrees.

Ok so America has 300,000,000 people. That's $3 per person for every billion dollars. Come on genius, bring that math, explain how all those billions divide into everyone having everything they need and everyone else will absolutely deliver those needs.

App issue, reposted

You're the one who replied to my deleted comment with " all those billionaires exist" (I can't actually pull it up in this app now to quote).

That's some maoist theory you're leaning on.

Do you know how many dollars you'd have if you took every dollar away from every billionaire and divided it evenly? Enough for a nice dinner, maybe a very cheap getaway, not enough to stop working or get all your needs met by someone else who is in the same position as you.

Can you quantify this surplus? Because your unqualified statement requires there to be enough to meet ANY demand. You just sound like a genzedong tankie who does not understand the most basic market theory that for every demand there must be a counterpart, who themselves will have demands, and there's no unlimited resource hack IRL (yet).

Your right to life ends where my right to not get unalived by your wishes ends.

Sorry meant to add here and this app needs polish... Deleted comment too slowly.

Also your tangent changed subjects. Right to life. Criminality vs liberties.

I'm not sure you fully understand the words you're saying, "right to live" would necessarily demand compelling people to act in the furtherance of everyone else's lives. You could be held criminally liable for eating too much for example, because you're taking away resources needed to keep others alive, and your unhealthy lifestyle taxing the health system actively hurts those who need it more.

You're looking for a different kind of government altogether.

As a matter of fact, it is a subscription, and it's exactly how the right to privacy, right to not self-incriminate, due process in general, and "beyond a reasonable doubt" work: on the principle that it's better that some evil people will get off and reoffend than it is for innocent people to be incarcerated for failing to prove their innocence. Not how it always works when prosecutors and judges have a different personal philosophy, but that's the idea and the trade-off taken.

Sounds like you're conflating gangbangers who post tiktok videos of themselves blasting the air with the 1/3-1/2 of normal humans in American households who own guns.

The real problem here seems to have been the court confusing a gangbanger for a human who can integrate into society.

TBH I'm totally on a tangent here about Netflix's writing teams having their own stories in mind and butchering books instead of picking different books to base shows on. In my example the book series was overwhelming from Gerhalt's POV with arcs that were written from Ciris POV, and a little flash back for background here and there. The Netflix series started true to the books, and the last release had a completely different story and feel with Gerhalt being a supporting character. Wheel of time is a great female led book series (with similar elements) and is a good show so far, my point is Netflix's writers whose names we don't know and who are churning out scripts are just are no match for a renowned author's best known series, and I have zero faith in their ability to transform an existing story into something better. I don't watch enough Netflix series to give you a statistical analysis, but in the ones I've seen they were just throwing tropes in which is not the same as being allies.

I think people are more annoyed because Netflix's tendencies lately are more like putting a gay character in a series based on a book where the character was sexually active and definitely straight. I'm really thinking about the last season of Witcher which took this to the extreme, that changed the protagonists and plot of a very good book transforming the series into something quite different only for the sake of fitting a politically desirable mold.
