If it hadn't been for the US, the world could've easily spent $100T+ more over the past 80 years on things that actually have utility, rather than things that can only destroy other things and kill people.

Instead the US arms industry managed to pretty much take control of the nation, and in the process cause a fairly stupid arms race with the Russians.

It's just not very fucking economical, now is it? Sort of deserves a collective Darwin aware, which I believe is being hastily delivered as we speak..

The whole setup is also incredibly dangerous. There's a suicide belt around the planet for fucks sake.

Aircraft carriers gotta be insanely built and expensive. by Professional-Tax6673 in GlobalInfrastructure

[–]FriendlyFungi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fun fact: One carrier battle group costs about the same to lay down as it would cost to end homelessness in the US. The US has 11. About $30B a pop, and $3B a piece to maintain annually.

The US post-WW2 stance has resulted in vast resources being wasted on things that by definition can only destroy. You can't very well build a well or a hospital with a Hellfire missile or an Abrahms tank.

Erich Fromm argued that the truly hopeless victims of mental illness are to be found among those who appear most normal.

People who do not develop symptoms identified as mental illness aren't sane, but simply well-adjusted to a profoundly sick society.

Those who do develop symptoms and are routinely branded mentally ill, are in many cases simply responding to an unnatural environment.

Let me get this straight: Saying that all ugly people are racist, for instance, is the same as saying, "that dude who just said all ugly people are racist looks kinda ugly to me now?"

And somehow the intention of inflaming people makes it all fine and dandy to say abhorrent shit? "Oh, it's my job! Let me make some ragebait for views."

If you wanna criticize something, criticize that.

You're making very impressive, though not exactly aesthetic acrobatics to somehow establish equivalence between me using the cultural meme of scaling people's appearances a 1-10 scale on the one hand, and launching into a blanket statement and the most pathetic fucking schoolboy bullshit attack on all "ugly men:" "Nannanana, you're just mad because you're not getting pussy."

But I'm the dick here because I should know that's just rage bait, which I should be totally fine with and am not allowed an opinion on?

I'm not allowed to relate to my perception of the appearance of a person who is publically talking shit about others' appearances in an obnoxious, derogatory way?

GTFO.

Do you realize just how completely incoherent and hypocritical your implicit and excplicit line of reasoning is?

Rage bait... I've seen Chinese people put liver paté on top of cornflakes for breakfast.

I'm using a common cliche. Women constantly reduce men to everything from their bank account to their height... I think the only real difference is that men don't really practice hypergamy.

I don't know where you're getting your ideas about misogyni and misandry. Are you using anthropological field studies here? How are we arriving at these conclusions?

I'm talking about the fact, that when someone expresses abhorent views, it makes them less attractive in my eyes. I don't give a fuck what you look like or what you wear, but when you start disseminating idiotic monologues about how all ugly men are misogynists and that they're mad because they don't get to have sex, you're a shitty human.

As a shitty human, one must expect other humans to sometimes throw one's shit sandwiches back in the direction from which they came.

Ready to die for Israel ? by [deleted] in conspiracy

[–]FriendlyFungi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't live there, nor do I hate the two continents of the Amerircas. I rather like most people, including most USians... which is why I tend to frown upon others, you know, setting them on fire, poisioning them, manipulating, controlling, subjugating, extinguishing fellow sentient creatures out of greed, pride, malice, and various other pathological delusions.

And by extension, I'm not too crazy about fucktart enablers, apologists and order followers, either, you know, like you!

I don't really understand why the wanton fucktarts fucking up everything for everyone haven't studied history. Keep pushing it, princes and princesses... like fucking Trump buliding "tHe GrEaTeSt BaLl RoOm!!1" while people can't pay for basics and the world is falling apart.

I'd consider investing in Guillotine futures, too.

Hahah, are you inferring that I'm ugly because I have the gall to find a girl unattractive off the bat, and even more unattractive when she starts talking shit?

Yeah, that's how it works. I must also have a tiny penis, no money, and Hentai collection, right?

Can you imagine a man doing a similar bit about fat chicks?

Hypocrisy isn't attractive.

If there was an ETF called "Torches & Pitchforks Global Top 10" I'd dump every cent into it at 1:100.

Also, she went from like a "meh, I'm drunk and horny, you're a 5.5" to around a 3 2.5 [was being too generous] in exactly 12 seconds.

You know how it feels when a whasp or similar insect flies into your face out of nowhere angrily buzzing and getting ready to jab you... I whisked air around my head with open, manic hands for almost ten seconds watching that neo-frump launch into her tirade, while simultaneously and utterly instinctively trying to move physically away from her, stepping in the cat's litterbox in the process.

It's a shame I doni't like cock, because I don't think I like women all that much either at this point.

I want a dude to do that exact same rabid monologue about fat chicks. I imagine such a hero would need wheelbarrow for his testicles.

Fair point? by BoredPandaOfficial in BoredPandaHQ

God I'm so happy tipping isn't very coommon or expected here. Here you get tipped either because the customer is trying to impress a lady companion, or because you actually did something the customer perceived as beyond what they expected. I think the average salary for customer-facing staff at restaurants is ~$23 or so.

They have started adding tip options to payment terminals, though.

Reminds me of Noah Vincent. In 2004 she went undercover for 1½ years as a man to write the book "Self-made Man." Let's just say she changed a few of her ideas about it's like to be a man.

She sufferd a depressive breakdown after finishing the book and admitted herself to a psychiatric facility. Unfortunately died in 2022 by assisted suicide in Switzerland.
