Anonymous alcholics don’t tend to have books in my experience.

Its very likely if the war enters a new phase the red sea will be closed by Iran/Houthis anyway.

I did when my Kindle broke, and although its awesome to just grab a book off of AA on my mobile browser and immediately be able to open it, the eye strain sucks compared to those old e-ink screens.

Meanwhile Iran accuses Israel.

No one ever said it would be easy, they make it hard on purpose.

Not if they are also a malignant narcissist, it looks exactly like we are seeing.

Its like a battle between Ocamm and Hanlon’s razors. Without Hanlon’s razor, and using Occam’s, it’s obviously for the benefit of Russia. But once you introduce Hanlon’s razor Occams becomes weaker.

I think he ingrains his lies and just keeps telling himself they are true. You do that enough and only the most traumatic to your psyche are still indistinguishable from lies. So I do believe he thinks he is smart, the most popular person ever, the best deal maker, etc. But you can tell what lies he hasn’t fully been ingrained and ause they still bother him, like the 2020 election.

Now you can be a proud owner of Spirit.

Our voter rolls stood at 114% of the voting-age population in 2022.

I have read that sentence a half dozen times and still can’t make sense of it.

Not really equivalent, Hitler had like twice as much real support during his descent into fascism.

Idk, maybe it’s just semantics. But to me it’s a tool and it’s the inherent systems that are bad.

Many people who actually do the gig work would argue positive examples like they wouldn’t have had the opportunities to do the work, as they have chronic illness that prevents them from working at random times or they are able to work just enough to provide supplmental income without accidentally losing benefits.

The tool is exploitave because these scenarios exist and there are people to be exploited. It’s not causing these scenarios, it’s taking advantage of them. Its a symptom.

Its reactionary because oil funds aren’t flowing right now.

Nah, they just have cashflow problems because they aren’t moving much oil right now.

Who said what?

All major religions are full of pedophile protectors.

Yup. The explanation my Jewish griend gave me for the war was “The wars will never end, as soon as Bibi stops killing Muslims he goes to prison”

They have invested too much, it’s funny how the mobs aren’t bigger and with more pitch forks. There is only one way for them to win, and that’s to replace a majority of white collar workers. Almost anything short of that with the amount of money invested and loaned is a failure for the Capital holders. But they hold them hostage because if AI fails, it blows up everyone’s retirement account and the general economy.

Idk, most Asian meth use oral, which isn’t all that different than almost everyone I know being on Adderall.

I feel like this is more of an argument against the American health insurance system and better national retirement programs, than anything else.

If Medicare for All, or an equivalent system existed in whatever country, there aren’t really any benefits other then their retirement that people care about.

I feel like people rightly point out that it’s fucked up our health insurance is tied to employment, but I don’t see people point out how it’s also fucked up that being able to survive our retirement is also based on employment. Social security alone isn’t enough to live a healthy life off of.

So if the government provided those things, I don’t really see anything wrong with the entire gig work thing. It might be within my lifetime that we see economies transition to a mostly AI/automation production system that relies on a fraction of human labor currently needed that will be supplemented by a gig work economy. Then the governments would most likely need to implement a Medicare for all type system and some sort of UBI.

I don’t think that’s why they are too expensive.

China is pumping out nice cars for like 15k and I guarantee you it has all sorts of data mining. China could probably make one of those Slate things for like $5k.
