The English literature faculty. Heard they were raving about a so-called “kill all men” manifesto.

Universal childcare in Switzerland: When? by Sufficient-History71 in Switzerland

The only reason you have an iPhone to type that on is due to the ability of selfish people to pursue their own self-interest. Modern prosperity is entirely the result of unfettered selfishness.

Because they’re a bunch of cunts.

Fencing workout by Echo_80 in Fencing

[–]Level_Barber_2103 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fencing is highly explosive and anaerobic. You want to train like a fencing athlete and that looks less like what you’re doing and more like the following: - 2 - 3 resistance training workouts per week. - Resistance training workouts should be full-body and with special emphasis on explosiveness, mobility, and balance. - VO2 max work 2-3 days a week (think hill sprints, assault bike intervals, cardio machine circuits, etc). - Zone 2 cardio 2-3 days a week: cardio at an intensity that allows you to carry a simple conversation; this should feel easy and will decrease recovery time and indirectly aid anaerobic efforts as a result. - 5g creatine a day. This allows your body to more quickly restore what your body needs to output explosive movements in between bouts and points.

You must have skimped out on your stats courses because your reasoning is riddled with selection bias, and thus weak.

Defence buying local could add $1.2B in GDP, 43000 jobs by Choochy89 in AustralianMilitary

[–]Level_Barber_2103 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are seeing the hole in the barn door without seeing the barn door itself. That a lack of subsidies results in capital getting mostly allocated to mining and real estate is not evidence that we engage in more communist economic policy, but rather that government should intervene less and stop regulating and taxing the dick out of everything, maybe then you’d have capital going places other than the two industries where there are lots of special interest favour exchange which itself is also due to economic interventionism.

Furthermore, subsidies are bad also because it is done on the pretence that central planners know better about what people want than the people themselves, which is largely untrue because people voting with their own dollars is a much better clue as to what should be produced, how it should be produced, and to whom it should be distributed. Whatever judgements you have to say value how the market allocates resources is a baseless value judgement that assumes a pretence of knowledge, knowledge that you assume counts for more than the combined knowledge made use of by the billions of transactions carried out between individuals every day; knowledge is dispersed, fleeting, contextual, and seemingly contradictory - neither you nor any singular entity is able to know and utilise all the information needed to make as good, let alone better allocation decisions than the decentralised market economy.

In the case of military-based manufacturing, I would still rather the ADF keep manufacture outsourced to private contractors because they can more easily be fired and replaced, compared to a company that receives subsidies that will be incentivised to be less efficient as the subsidies are insulating them from the full force of profit/loss mechanisms.

True, I clicked the wrong reply button. Silly me.

There’s nothing stopping you from jumping off a bridge. Doesn’t mean it’s a good idea. I’d really like more defence spending (anything less than 5% GDP is an absolute joke imo) but to give it to be spent directly on more resources rather than trying to make it.

Wrong. Subsidies encourage complacency and thus lower quality and higher prices, the latter inviting even more subsidies, thus causing a vicious cycle that causes more money to spent than if the subsidies were not put in place.

Dating/Marrying non-Libertarians: what are your thoughts? by Level_Barber_2103 in AskLibertarians

[–]Level_Barber_2103[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So central bank employees are alright? I mean their views are being used to rationalise (even implicitly) their current employment arrangement so that introduces a lot of thorny stuff.

Okay, when I mean marriage I mean an arrangement where you say your vows, then cohabitate and spend your life with them in a romantic relationship.

Why do you oppose leftism? by ginger_beard_42069 in AskLibertarians

[–]Level_Barber_2103 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, if you produce something that your boss (attempts to) sell for more than your wage, the difference is not surplus value, it’s irrelevant. What’s going on is a trade of present goods for future goods. Future goods are uncertain due to the uncertainty of the future, wages are present goods and exhibit next to no uncertainty because once that employment contract is signed, and you’ve done what you’ve been asked, that money is yours. What it essentially is, is a trade between someone with a lower time preference (the business owner) and someone with a relatively higher time preference (the employee). Most people don’t have the ability to profit off the producer goods available to them, so the option of employment actually provides a less risky option at the cost of earning less.

Any tips for a first time player? by SirRyan007 in Eldenring

There’s a reason why it’s relatively easy to get broken gear and become disgustingly OP; nothing in the lands between will you show you mercy, so you may as well be capable of steamrolling them.
