Yeah, it’s easy to have good arguments if you don’t really care if you’re right or not

The second one will definitely happen. People already paying builders for nice buildings, and I bet Micro$oft wants in on this market
Not in more significant numbers that any other life around, and for entirely understood reasons.
If you have a better plan that individual people can do who don’t want to fight corporations
Yes. The plan is very simple - stop not wanting to fight corporations (in a broad sense, sometimes it’s not just corporations, I’m oversimplifying here).
No individual effort can be meaningful as long as there are corpos with the desire to see the line go up on the other side. You can’t “vote with your dollar” if the choices you presented with are controlled by profit seeking, you can’t “do your small part” if you don’t have neither means nor understanding of what even needs to be done. If you don’t buy high fructose corn sirup, it will be bought with your money without your input in the matter. That sort of thing.
The unfortunate and very unfair thing is that individual can do things worse for themselves and for the community they’re part of, this power we have and nobody is taking it from us. But a person can’t fix what’s broken by the uncaring leviathan of profit seeking, that can only be fixed collectively.
It would do wonders but not for this issue. The only bees that are dying are industrially farmed bees. Making it somehow your fault is another amazing trick by thr corpos to shift the blame for what they do on people who has nothing to do with it.
Stop doing lawns is a good idea though, regardless
I wasn’t trying to ridicule or sound dismissive (but I accidentally did, I swear it wasn’t on purpose), it was just a bit funny to me that 30 minutes of walking a day counts as “actually we do walk around, even though I live in the most walkable county in the country”. Not funny in ha-ha sense, more like funny in “what the fuuuuck” sense.
The way you’re proud of 30 minutes of walking a day basically confirms their point.
I was there with the pure anthropological interest
If Dell will make a $500+ computer that can just hook up to whatever screen you have and allow you to play vast majority of all the games ever, they will be instantly industry leaders. They can’t though. Valve, however, can.
I don’t know the percentage, but I’ve been to a flat earthers/variety conspiracy convention. Unless all of them are pretty good actors, they’re all were very serious about their batshitery. It’s scary, really.

11·27 days agoThe word communism has less to do with the original meaning than teachings of prosperity gospel church with the bible.
Russians have very different meaning for this word because of decades of Soviet indoctrination, Americans think completely different thing entirely about what it is.
However, there is a thing that is true for all of them: they don’t just believe that their version is the only one correct, they cannot fathom the reality where different definition even exists

This beats somehow returning palatine for sure. But forget that one, the main central guy of all 6 movies turns out to be immaculately conceived by a bunch of medichlorians whatever they are, and y’all are ok with that now. I vividly remember how everyone was up their buttholes about that 20 years ago, but now it’s a great cinema apparently and only new thing bad. And if you think original plot made more sense, your judgement is just clouded by nostalgia, because it was the same nonsense and the same cycle of criticism.
The only reason I dislike somehow palpanite returning more than the rest of the nonsense, is because they fucked up a nice theme about everyone being worthy of force that was beginning to emerge. And this only shows that they actually had a theme going on that could be fucked up.

I think it was the whole purpose of it
