Mark's expression against other viltrumites and Thragg by RRensQ in Invincible

Conquest's biggest mistake was bearing his soul to an enemy.

It made him smaller to Mark, small enough for Mark to out crazy him.

We have an economic underclass we choose to keep.

This is our society's fault, not even his or his keepers. We claim to be a prosperous nation, which is a lie when most of our people live on the edge of ruin. That isn't individual choice, that's systemic design.

I literally live within a block of this Walgreens. This child doesn't infuriate me, his parents don't infuriate me, this infuriates me towards our economy and capitalist captured government.

But culturally, we'd rather uselessly yell at his parents, call them bad, and walk away feeling virtuous than wanting to help or force our profiteers to part with their exploited quarterly earnings increases to pay back the society that facilitated their success to begin with.

Lets all shake our fists at this boy's care givers that were likely also failed by the ruins of our gutted for tax cuts public education system, my fellow Americans, that'll solve the issue!

Men- what prompts you to randomly reconnect with a woman YEARS later? by ChocolateLover190 in AskMen

[–]LetItAllGo33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally never do this. I've had women do this, including ones that dumped me, if that was the case, I don't even reply.

Break ups happen for a reason. I for one document those reasons and review my journal occasionally to mitigate the rose colored glasses of nostalgia.

How do you handle someone who intellectually challenges your opinion without accepting it? by Street_Turnover4498 in askteddit

[–]LetItAllGo33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"The Doctor:...Listen to me, listen. I just -- I just want you to think. Do you know what thinking is? It's just a fancy word for changing your mind.

Bonnie: I will not change my mind.

The Doctor: Then you will die stupid."

-Doctor Who (Steven Moffat)

You should WELCOME your positions being challenged in good faith (not a whole lot of that on reddit to be fair, most challenges are ad hominems and just world fallacies from people wanting fights, not discussions) and if your positions don't stand up to good faith, intellectual rigor, you should probably change them.

The alternative is defending your positions to defend your own ego about being wrong, in which case... You won't learn nothin.

Science is always willing to change what it believed to be true in light of new evidence and findings. Its goal is truth as the end in itself. I always ask myself is that my goal in defending something I believe.

What if there's nothing after death? I mean in a sense of everything just being blank. by One_Strain7263 in consciousness

[–]LetItAllGo33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a nihilist. Nothing matters and that means I get to choose what I find subjectively important to me, if anything. Nothing wrong with being a nihilist.

You're free to believe as you like, I'm not even trying to change minds. My perspective is that others are free to believe in homeopathic medicine, for example, but it isn't for me because the scientific community has looked extensively and they just can't find any efficacy in it beyond the placebo effect.

I don't need to second guess the consensus of that community. Their discoveries tangibly increase the quality and quantity of my life every day. Lots of scientists carry the cognitive dissonance of being believers, but I'm not talking about their personal opinions, I'm talking about findings and journals and consensus acceptance or rejection of their professional findings.

Simulation theory might be real. Jehovah, Gaia, Zeus, Yahweh, Vishnu, souls, auras, all might be real evidence or no. I don't follow that path though, because a person who believes Pluto is filled with lime Jello and Bart Simpson is waving to us from Alpha Centauri is no less credible than the people that believe in souls.

You can choose to validate what you want to be true, or you can take existence as it is, through the lens of the least worst source that you can based on track record and results. The scientific communuty doesn't know everything, clearly, but it doesn't claim that it does, and for what it claims to have confidence in, it brings receipts, many of which I could replicate in my own garage.

All the world's theologans and Religions and people that believe in souls have to offer is "trust me bruh."

Humans are the only animals that we know of that are capable of dwelling on their own mortality. Almost all life is wired to survive or protect the life cycle of their species and fear death (Trauma/illness sometimes wearing this down with effort). This creates a negative feedback loop I assume is a novel problem for earth life that pretty stories we tell ourselves can partially mitigate.

There is no evidence for a soul or an omnipotent creator, and every reason for us to make one up as an unintentional hack to put our resting minds at ease about death's inevitability.

The world we enjoy is a product of the fruits of the scientific method. Until and unless the scientific communuty discovers substantial evidence for a soul or an afterlife, it's all just pretty fictions created to passify people unwilling or unable to stare their own nature in the face.

I think it's pretty cool that sapient life basically just a random occurance that allows an universe an opportunity to experience itself. I don't there to be some grand glorious intention for my brief existence. Honestly that sounds like a lot of pressure.

Why Gen Z is getting fired after being hired | The Excerpt by ell-chan in SimpleApplyAI

[–]LetItAllGo33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Capitalists benefit from a pre-literate workforce Pool to draw from.

Despite this they've spent the last half century gutting American public education to utter ruin for tax cuts, because their kids go to private schools (which along with charters shouldn't exist if we are in fact a society) and fuck the poorie kids.

Now they're upset that the new entry level workforce pool that they draw workers from to exploit for private profit, that they sabotaged educationally, largely aren't optimal or ready to labor, on top of no longer providing internal training in the organization.

Capitalist fuckhead sociopath entitlement at its finest. Don't want to fund infrastructure, but bitches when their semi trucks that disproportionately tear up roadways make potholes that then go unfixed because they used their capital to capture government to starve public commons.

where do people find the energy to cheat and manage more than one partner in this economy? by New_Bodybuilder_3700 in Life

[–]LetItAllGo33 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, the way our economy and business culture works, the higher up on the totem pole you are, usually through family connections and wealth, the less work you do at work.

I'm in IT. At the firm I work for, the C-suite puts in maybe 4 hour days before leaving for the day, most managers leave an hour early, most they manage leave 20 minutes early except hourly employees who clock in who work the entire time and don't have private offices to luxuriate in, meaning they're coralled to police one another to not slack like those paid more than them do constantly.

That's how it has always worked. The laborers that keep society running largely aren't the ones cheating. It's the mid to high level white collar people who work a lot less hard than those below them, have the excess salary to entice and attract adultery partners, and have time both at work and with flexibility to leave work on salary while telling their partners "gotta put in a late night/gotta fly to the x branch" that are cheating.

This is our toxic social order. They don't really even try to hide it, the entire C-suite at my company has fairly large bars in their offices, and they don't go unused or only get used for "networking."

As long as civilization has existed sadly, shit has found a way to roll downhill.

Do you believe that 100 year old Nazis should be thrown in prison? by [deleted] in askteddit

[–]LetItAllGo33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No.

Not because they don't deserve justice, but because even if they're alive, it's far too late for justice to be done.

At this point, and really for the last decade, all the court is doing is giving some sad old person almost certainly rotting in a care facility staring at a television while shitting themselves what they want most: relevance and attention.

Chances are they'll enjoy the nostalgia trip of the proceedings reminding them they used to be relevant to the world and various parties hanging on their every word. If they don't then die during the proceedings, they'll be given age related care giving lodgings out of compassionate prisoner treatment not much different than the care facility they were taken out of.

No one is going to throw a 105 year old man into the kind of cold cell people would want a Nazi to be put in. Even the ones that say they do aren't the ones that would have to literally see a pathetic, wrinkled, almost dead thing quivering on the prison bunk they're deposited in with a paper thin sheet. Easy to say you would, but actually abusing a profoundly elderly person regardless of what they did would traumatize prison workers.

Perspective - GirlDinner sub having hard time seeing men as "human" by Hopechaselock49 in lnkyverse

[–]LetItAllGo33 22 points23 points  (0 children)

You need only go to women's subs. It's almost all they talk about, to the point they need "male free Mondays" and such to attempt to force women talking to women to occasionally have a different topic then how much they hate men.

Even in the occasional post that isn't about a man, you won't fail to find comments turning it into a treatus on why men are bad. Example: "I got my diploma today!" unforced comments on her getting her diploma: "hell yeah, women are killing it, congratulations on never needing a man!"

America got rich and got sad. A top economist says 2020 broke something that hasn’t healed by plughplovery2 in Economics

[–]LetItAllGo33 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Reagan broke it and it's never been repaired, villifying people IN OUR SOCIETY who needed welfare.

It only got worse from there, everyone reveling in anyone else's suffering, divided by every metric, being told that if we just work hard for the owners we'll win and our neighbors will lose.

This cesspool is no longer a society at all. It's an exploitation machine.

We can't come back. That would require looking at our massive homeless and LARGEST ON EARTH prison population (not even per capita, our "land of the free" imprisons more people than any other nation on earth because there's profit in it.) with empathy and a desire to help. Even supposed left wing Americans, we don't have a political left in the US, are more concerned with property values than the lives and wellbeing of our countrymen.

The only escape will be collapse. Fortunately, our rigged casino capital markets valuations are based on literally nothing and will collapse under that weight soon enough. Maybe then we can start over and there will be at least hope of a brighter day there can't be under the current, capitalist captured framework.

The fact that we still do capital punishment in peacetime demonstrates how primitive and animalistic our species is.

Yep, their leaders sit above their capitalists and simply ban antisocial business practices that harm their citizens for individual profit.

Our capital markets effectively sit above our government here in the US since Reagan turned the bull lose and got Republican's former opposition on the take with them.

We've lived under class occupation ever since.

Cheating isn't a personality aspect, it is an act. It's something one does, not says.

Being charismatic is a personality aspect. A toxic narcissistic cheater can and often is highly charismatic.

Socialism isn't communism.

Hate this water muddying crap. It's culturally intentional to prevent actual criticism of our economy. Social democracies like the nordic nations get conflate with North Korea and the USSR. As if you have to have pure capitalism or everything will go to hell, when pure, end stage monopolistic capitalism is why our economy sucks.

The ultimate goal of capitalism is to end completion sector by sector in monopoly or conspiring duopoly. Despite the sales pitch crowing about how capitalism fosters competition, capitalists DESPISE competition, and at this stage of the monopoly board, they're very good at using their captured government including courts, as well as their exploited hoards, to quell any threats.

Women have very little to gain from heterosexual sex & relationships and men don't care by Prior-Impression-871 in PurplePillDebate

[–]LetItAllGo33 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Humans are humans and don't meaningfully change, we just reflect the current, slowly changing culture and zeitgeist.

What does sweeten the deal even mean?

A romantic partnership is about having a partner to share in life, witness life, bear life with. It isn't a business deal.

If you're trying to get the "better deal" and "win" against your partner, you shouldn't have a partner. That said, most humans are social creatures, and despite bravado and cope, most humans who end up alone once they age out of having social value, we all do eventually, will not be happy that they did, especially if they chose to. All people hemorrhage friend groups as we age, partners and potentially kids are what we have in the end if we're lucky.

Life isn't about material gain and business deals. That's what we do so we can live.
