We don’t need anything aside from the word, and you are right about the Israelis.

But you can go fuck yourself for using divisive language like ‘libtard’. One, how are we supposed to work with you or even talk to you when you use such a childish and insulting term? And two, it’s not even accurate. Conservatives consistently prove they’re the idiots.

Let’s just take one example. The economy. Every Democrat in the last 100 years has improved the economy, and every Republican has harmed it. It’s because Democrats invest in people through empowering unions and raising minimum wages. Trickle down economics has been proven to not work for almost 60 years now and conservatives still push that bullshit.

It’s like that on every issue. You’re just wrong.

This is like Holocaust denial in the 21st century. Those that refuse to see what the Jew-Nazis are doing.

Israel is their ‘promised land’. It is more about religion than people would like to admit.

And while I agree there are a fair amount of Jewish people that are essentially like lapsed Catholics and Christians that don’t buy the full text word of the Bible/Torah, it is essentially wrong to argue that it is NOT a part of their religion when it absolutely IS.

I see we conveniently are just not going to talk about how the Jew-Nazis are absolutely using this as an excuse to maximize collateral damage to the civilian populace of their enclose open air concentration camp of a city. However you want to justify the genocide this is, feel free, but the world is watching, and sympathy for what the Jews went through during the Holocaust is wearing thin since they’ve been essentially running their own genocide for the better part of a century.

Same. I adopted a google account a long time ago, but I’ve finally hit my limit on what they’ve been doing with youtube and everything. Free and open source alternatives are the way to go, it may take a while to catch on or may never fully, but who cares. Switching to linux recently was the best thing I’ve ever done.

I’m drawing some very obvious parallels in how they were treated and how they treat the Palestinians.

…because the Zionist Jew-Nazis of Israel have absolutely zero respect for any defined borders. They’ve defied the ones set up in 1938, 1947, and again in the 60s when the UN stepped in again. You can look at the progression maps over time, that 100% is the Jew-Nazis violating repeatedly the treaties set.

Let’s start calling them what they are. The Jew-Nazis.

You have no idea the temptation I have to do just that. A satellite connection and a remote job for income and I’d be good. A family member is up in Alaska already, he’s got a plot of land with a natural gas deposit that wasn’t large enough or near enough to a populated area for the US gov to care about. So they’ve got it tapped and have a pretty ideal setup. They bought my grandfather’s tractor a while ago an old restored 1912 John Deere.

I do enjoy the comforts of living near everything. I’m not sure I could give up having 100s of restaurants to choose from and a dozen or more grocery stores in a 10 mile radius. Or the specialty delis, high speed gigabit, and other comforts of civilization.

If your stream is at the max setting that’s comfortable and you move around a bit and make sure to get the whole area I’ve got nothing for you other than a recommendation to up the fiber in your diet.

I did get a nicer one that can just about peel the skin off on the highest setting, but even the lower quality one I have on the main bathroom downstairs gets me completely clean. I do tend to use it longer than 30 seconds, I’m pretty thorough about the rinse process.

Dude for real. A cheap bidet attachment for your toilet is the way to go.

First off, a bidet is better than toilet paper. I’ve been using it for years, and it cleans you 100%. I use basically 1 square of TP to dry myself after, and it’s always completely clean. If you had a bird shit on your arm would you just wipe it off with paper and call it a day?

I laughed at all my friends who made fun of me for getting one on all my toilets after the great TP shortage of 2021, and a few of them ended up switching over.

For the apocalypse I have a camping toilet with a foot operated bidet. I mean I already use it when car camping, and I have a hand bidet for backpacking.

Solar panels are also in play. I also bought a freeze dryer and have about 5 deers worth of freeze dried jerky, and buy and freeze dry on sale fruit and veggies pretty regularly. I try to maintain around a 1-2 year supply of on hand food. A few steel plates, ar-15 pistol, and enough ammo to hold off the upper floor for quite a while too, but that’s another conversation. I’m as ready to go as I can though, let’s do this.

I really miss old school MTV though. I feel like, for a time, bands were doing some crazy music videos that were as much works of art as the music itself.

This is where the gaps in your perspective start, concrete 3D printing is incredibly niche, and would usually take more higher paid labor to be used in places that replace concrete methods. That’s not to mention the significant labor in their design and production.

Uh… I literally grew up in a family that runs a construction business and have been heavily involved with both the actual construction of houses AND the business management aspect side of things.

So let me tell you right now that you’re totally and completely ignorant. Running one of these things takes 1 skilled person who makes sure the machine is extruding correctly by maintaining the proper water/concrete mix, and 3 unskilled people to smooth the concrete layers out.

That’s the same with medical AI, AI in general has a massive hallucination problem, but for diagnosis especially, just as many doctors are actually needed for the core part of their job- treatment and running the tests to gather the data for the AI in the first place.

Again wrong. My mom is a nurse and has worked with IBM as well. Currently nurses feed in all the data, and it spits out a diagnosis, then a doctor reviews it’s diagnosis and rolls with it. Considering it’s almost 99.9% accurate in diagnosis already it’s better than the doctors.

Capitalism has been remarkably effective at that, it allows people to be as lazy as possible.

Lol yeah fucking right.

You are 100% bonkers man, the fact that you can spout this much bullshit is pretty incredible in and of itself.

…the fuck is a tankie? I’m almost afraid to google it.

More like spouted something that had nothing at all to do with communism on any level other than some bogeyman scare tactic propaganda bullshit designed to pathetically attempt to make communism look bad.

So our world is literally dying, we’re living in the greatest mass extinction event ever, and instead of anything being done this process is actually accelerating by every conceivable metric we have. A friend of mine works on coral reef preservation. Most of the people in that field have given up on actually preserving wild coral as it exists today. His group switched to trying to preserve and grow as many samples as possible in private environments in the hopes that one day the oceans can again support coral reefs. If people knew in how bad shape our oceans and natural spaces really are there’d be a lot more panic.

All because capitalism exists solely to consume endlessly until there’s nothing left.

Making a lightbulb that lasts forever is a terrible business decision because you’ll sell less lightbulbs. In 2023, replaceable batteries have all but disappeared because once the battery dies in a modern day device people see it as time to replace that. Building to last, building renewable, building self-sustaining, that will NEVER be a core tenant of capitalism, because none of those things are profitable. So is building multi mile long fishing nets which indiscriminately catch everything, up to the point where they’re too worn to use, then they’re cut free and rest across the bottom of the ocean where they pin everything they land on and go on killing more sea life. Our oceans are literally coated in those nets because that’s what’s profitable.

We’ve got capitalism, yes we do, and people have cancer and aids, it doesn’t mean we should all just learn to work with cancer and aids. People falsely tie a lot of ‘positive’ things to capitalism, but in the end, capitalism is all about making a quick buck no matter what the cost by any other metric.

Your friends are provably wrong. I’d have to look up the actual numbers and dates again, but since around 1994-2000 automation and industrialization has replaced more jobs than it has created, and has in every year since at an exponentially increasing rate. Unfortunately while it would be nice to do this peacefully, the first Rosie the Robot is likely to cause a mass upheaval. Stupid people will try to ban them outright, the smart ones will simply tax the companies that make them and control them providing universal basic income from the revenue.

Unfortunately many terrible people like the second solution of just killing off the unemployable in various ways.

No communistic / socialistic people actually believe that garbage, the whole point of communism and socialism is to provide for people’s basic needs. I’ve never once met someone that seriously talks about communism who would actually suggest using people like that. And communism doesn’t mean democracy, the best systems are obviously ones where people have equal opportunity to voice their opinions and needs equally.

It’s actually a bad faith argument by capitalists who struggle to see the use of a human being beyond how much labor they can be used for.
