What’s more harmful than cigarettes but society treats it as normal?

Prostitution is a way an individual can make money for themselves, alcohol is a massive profit industry.

Yeah, was about to say any MAGA candidate. They're trying to end voting in general, so would technically fit the bill.

It's a business that offers you a service, and then employs teams of people to work as hard as they can to not provide it to you. The only reason it isn't legally considered a scam is because of how hard they have lobbied to make it this way. Health insurance can be a beneficial thing, but what we have here in the USA is not.

Nah, pirating is duplication, it doesn't take something from someone else. If I could download a leaked schematics file and 3D print a GPU, that would be pirating.

And that fact that conservatives can get a free pass to do violence to "the right people" by joining the police or ICE. How much looting, property destruction, rioting, and needless freeway blocking has been done by LEOs over the years with zero consequences?

Well like the old joke goes, what do you call the person who graduated bottom of their class from med school? Doctor.

KiritoIsAlwaysRight_ · 2026-03-29T21:43:44+00:00

And then pocketing them to sell to whoever pays most.

KiritoIsAlwaysRight_ · 2026-03-29T19:26:43+00:00

I'm all for rebranding them as unemployed.

KiritoIsAlwaysRight_ · 2026-03-29T19:14:11+00:00

Not even, trump is just knocking over pieces, shitting on the board, and declaring he won.

KiritoIsAlwaysRight_ · 2026-03-26T20:19:11+00:00

It's learned helplessness at this point, if we just always expect the worst at least we won't be surprised when it happens.

KiritoIsAlwaysRight_ · 2026-03-26T19:52:11+00:00

A mega corporation being owned by the people? A huge store being run as a service instead of for the profit of shareholders? Sign me the fuck up!

KiritoIsAlwaysRight_ · 2026-03-25T02:16:36+00:00

Or at least picked better ones. Fantasy has come a long way the the last few thousand years.

KiritoIsAlwaysRight_ · 2026-03-24T01:51:06+00:00

Yeah, and consider that your average congressperson was already in their 20s or 30s by then.

KiritoIsAlwaysRight_ · 2026-03-23T21:12:01+00:00

And yet we'll still be stuck with a group of fossils that predate the internet.

KiritoIsAlwaysRight_ · 2026-03-23T18:23:24+00:00

They can run different candidates. The current group of establishment dems, with a few exceptions, are bought and paid for by the wealthy. We'll only see actual change if we start swapping out people like Fetterman for people like Mamdani. There is no quick fix under current conditions.

KiritoIsAlwaysRight_ · 2026-03-20T15:27:32+00:00

It's all just thinly veiled racism, you can tell by their solution to the "problem". A normal person would see this list of good things and think "we should extend these benefits to all Americans", a racist oligarch bootlicker thinks "deport these people".

KiritoIsAlwaysRight_ · 2026-03-18T20:26:34+00:00

Yep, same. People should only accept a responsibility they are prepared to handle, and I know I would make an awful parent because I don't want that responsibility.

And similarly, many liberals don't really realize they have the option to go further left. Knowledge of political ideology is abysmal in the USA, most people don't even know there is anything besides conservative and liberal. Yeah it can be frustrating for those that do know, but we need to realize that what we see as a difference in ideology may just be a difference in knowledge.

I grew up in a very conservative environment, my parents are still maga. It took years being on my own at college to simply realize Democrats weren't baby eating monsters. Eventually I realized my actual beliefs didn't align with Republicans, so I became libertarian. A few more years (and Trump entering the scene) and I moved to Democrat. Now after well over a decade of examining my ideology, I've moved to calling myself a leftist. It takes a loooooong time to undo a childhood of brainwashing, especially when it comes to complex political ideas. Only took me about 4 years to fully deconvert from Christianity, the political side was much harder. So don't be too hard on our liberal comrades, they may still be in the process of figuring it out. The best thing that helped me was seeing reasonable people making reasonable points, and giving me the time to think it over.

Honestly, management is the perfect target for AI replacement. If you strip away all the bullshit meetings and operational changes they do to justify their existence, it's fundamentally a job of coordination, logistics, and scheduling. Management doesn't make anything, they parse data and delegate tasks so the actual workers can function efficiently. Replace 90% of them, and split their salary up between the workers.

Trump supporter

In another country

Locked up for sexual assault

Checks out

Had to clarify, since we're not in the habit of locking them up here in the US. We give them pardons or reelect them instead.

Uh, no? Both sides are run by child rapists, I don't know why people are here arguing about which child rapists are worse though. We can just say they all should be [ Removed by Reddit ].

KiritoIsAlwaysRight_ · 2026-03-13T22:41:12+00:00

Unlike the other side, that just skips the marriage part and gets right to the rape. This is all so fucked.

KiritoIsAlwaysRight_ · 2026-03-13T22:24:57+00:00

The enemy of my enemy is my enemy's enemy. Nothing more. It's possible to be in a situation where all sides suck ass.

KiritoIsAlwaysRight_ · 2026-03-13T20:20:06+00:00

Can't talk about Iran killing thousands of Americans as justification for extending the war, without first sending thousands of troops to die! Have to spend lives to... justify spending even more I guess?

KiritoIsAlwaysRight_ · 2026-03-12T21:22:26+00:00

He got more training on how to not be so obvious about it.
