"Just"

Holy fuck lol

It's crazy how often I see people doing this; they're ardently against Trump's efforts to turn the presidency into a dictatorship, while at the same time complaining that Biden didn't do x y, or z when those aren't things that fall under his purview.

What do they want?? Dictatorship is ok if it's the neo-liberal I like?

...might explain his reported stench.

The way I see i t, respect all human life is the baseline. For me it takes quite a bit for someone too fall below that baseline enough that I'm upset that they're still alive (and honestly, I don't like that said people have made me feel this way).

But not everyone deserves respect. That privilege can be given up if you're evil or shitty enough.

I'm sorry, input was not understood. Perhaps you meant:

*sexy scat and pooey role play forums"?

Lol nothing says confidence like going through someone's comment history to try to find things to hurt them... Good think I'm not ashamed of either of those things.

And just to clarify the latter: criticizing your own country because of the awful things it is doing ≠ hate. Usually it's literally the opposite. If I despised my country, I wouldn't be so distraught as I watch it being sold for parts for next to nothing.

If this was an assassination attempt on Hitler in 1939, would the trolley problem not apply? If the attempt succeeded before his successful rise to power, how many lives would have ultimately been saved?

I don't think you can say either way for sure which outcome would lead to less bloodshed... I do know that trying and missing is probably the worst possible outcome...

Also wouldn't the [sic] be directly after "do" and not "process"?

So you don't understand the Trolley Problem? I'm not sure the "moral high ground" is necessarily what you think it is in this case.

Capitalism literally doesn't exist without violence and the constant threat of it

They do it because they get away with it. Their base either isn't even aware, or flat out don't give a shit.

Fake.

Ratatouille sex forums have existed since the dawn of mankind. Everybody knows this.

The problem is, they're not actually learning about anything real, they're learning about one specific outcome of rent seeking in the modern world that they only noticed because of their profession. By giving this very narrow and specific concept a cute name, and making that shit popular or whatever has literally prevented young people from understanding these important economic concepts on any real level.

So yeah I'm glad that a small portion of terminally online tech nerds have finally discovered a major form of rent seeking in their industry and identified it as a problem. But then they just stop there as if it exists in a vacuum. I just wish they'd read some actual books (or hell, if you don't want to turn off the screen, audio books?) about the subject rather than just repeat some clever term over and over.

That's my problem. I guess it's nitpicky. But I do believe there are people who will now never learn another single thing about economic concepts that affect their lives because they're not even aware that this "newly discovered phenomenon" is just one small aspect of a much larger problem that is endemic to all of capitalism. They just think it's this quirky thing that only affects tech.

I literally had the opposite experience lol. Just got NewPipe and it seems to work fine.

Suck shit, Google.

The risks today aren't what they were in 1968

Are you saying there's less risk now than 68? Because, if you weren't aware, we are on the cusp of literally losing the Republic.

I think they were suggesting that he resign before the election, and Harris chooses a new VP

As someone who's (re) vanced stopped working today, one thing about using my browser instead was the inability to switch to a different app or lock my screen without pausing.

I fucking hate that shit. Made solely so they could sell it as a "bonus feature" for subscribing to their pay service.

Ohhhh got it, only one false flag attack was committed by the US. That means the war in Vietnam was justified.

To be clear regarding "false flag" operations for anyone unaware: this entails attacking our own military in order to provide spurious cassus belli to enter a conflict we had no valid reason to enter. In this case, a civil war on the other side of the planet, in a bay we should never have been in to begin with.

How stupid does a person need to be to think that, not only was the war in Vietnam justified, but that the Gulf of Tonkin false flag incident is that justification?
