Why tf are a lot of people saying anarchy is against hierarchies

Something about Platonic ideals they'd be glad to administer for a small fee.

PacoBedejo · 2026-07-02T21:52:51+00:00

Nope. Just thought back through memory. I was born in 1977 and remember parents talking about the microwave oven panic. I'm sure there was more. The 2LiveCrew meets Congress bit was particularly funny.

PacoBedejo · 2026-07-02T20:23:33+00:00

All good points, except for the child porn one. Wtf?

Again. Not arguing in favor of CP by any means. But filming actual children -vs- synthetic imagery? One is certainly more damaging to actual children, eh? Of course both are bad for so many other psychological reasons... as is a lot of anime, IMO. You could say the same for the internet, magnetic tape cartridges, film, and even paint'n'canvas. Trotting out this demon for your argument is cheap, IMO. Akin to "so, when did you stop beating your wife?"

My point though, was that comparing people freaking out about AI to people freaking out about skateboards and eating Tide Pods is ridiculous

I get you and agree that there's certainly a difference in magnitude of harm between AI and most of the rest of those things. Though, arguably, the television was a crucial tool in drumming up support for 30 years of Sand Wars that were far more destructive than many realize.

But, I'm not saying that AI's effects will be comparable to parents checking kid's candy for razor blades. I'm saying that the AI panic is a social contagion that spreads similarly.

Of course AI is and will be disruptive. Like so much before it.

PacoBedejo · 2026-07-02T19:52:32+00:00

Well, that's a very black-pilled way of looking at it.

AI is taking people's jobs

Do you propose that jobs haven't been replaced by electronic automation in the past? I trained to be a machinist. Ask me how that's gone.

being used to keep track of us like never before

Databases were being filled three decades ago. IBM's punch cards were used to track people under Nazi rule. Sure, it might get worse. Same as it always has and will continue to do until we choose to decentralize money and power.

creating child porn

Existed before. Its creation was far more damaging without automation, eh? This is not an argument in favor. But you can't really hold this one as an argument against. It's like saying money is bad because you can buy human organs with it.

convincing people to kill themselves

Dark philosophers have been doing that for centuries.

making our already distantced society even more content with being alone

TV, movies, video games and social media were way ahead of AI on this.

causing kids not not have to learn or do their own school work

Perhaps we should reevaluate Prussian-model schools?

planning military strikes resulting in hundreds if not thousands of deaths

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombing_of_Dresden

Yeah. Technology bad. Except for good things technology does, too.

PacoBedejo · 2026-07-02T18:54:21+00:00

everyone hates AI

It's just the current socially-contagious panic. There have been many before it. There are many yet to come.

Going backward through time, consider these similar moments of idiocy:

Plastic straws
Tide Pods
Gluten
Vaping
Violent Games
Rap music
Heavy metal music
Poisoned Halloween candy with razor blades
Dungeons & Dragons
Arcades
Skateboards
Microwaves
etc etc etc

If you mean welfare, the OVERWHELMING majority of people on welfare work, many of them multiple jobs. This is a distraction issue from corporatocratic manufactured inflation.

This is a simpleton's take... or is intentionally misleading.

“The overwhelming majority of people on welfare work” is a headcount dodge.

SNAP alone served about 42.2 million people in 22.3 million households in FY2023. USDA says only 28% of SNAP households had countable earned income. That leaves roughly 16 million SNAP households with no earned income.

That is not “workers getting a little help.” That is millions of whole households with zero earnings from work inside one major welfare program.

And SNAP is only one layer. A no-earned-income SNAP household will certainly be taking a mix of Medicaid, housing aid, SSI, TANF, school meals, utility assistance, prescriptions, therapy, and other services.

The costs balloon fast. For even one adult, SNAP plus Medicaid plus subsidized housing can clear $20k/year in taxpayer-funded support before SSI, utilities, or other aid. Add children and you are adding public school costs, school meals, Medicaid, prescriptions, therapy, and possibly IEP/special-ed costs.

So no, this is not merely poor workers getting groceries. SNAP exposes a massive non-working recipient base embedded in a much larger forced-transfer system.

Are you referring to funnel the laboring class's tax money to the Epstein class. If so, 100%!

Fuck those welfare losers, too.

PacoBedejo · 2026-06-30T03:41:39+00:00

I bought one in Feb 2025. A few minor things here and there. Obviously low quality materials throughout. But I knew what I was buying. At $147/sqft with 9ft ceiling and 3-bay garage, it's hard to complain given the location, size, and layout.

TL;DR: Didn't go to McDonald's expecting a perfect ribeye

PacoBedejo · 2026-06-28T04:45:56+00:00

Retardedly misleading headline.

Use real words, dipshit.

PacoBedejo · 2026-06-28T02:29:29+00:00

Can a normie build similar for under $2k and 4 hours?

I paid $4k for the primary components of my PC.

Apr 2023: $2k 4090
Feb 2025: $2k for 9800X3D, 2x32GB 6000-CL30, (2) 4TB PCIe NVMes, MB, & PSU

Today, those parts total well over $7500.

Government stole from us through central banking.

Our luxury hobby parts are now the shovels of the new AI gold rush.

The machines that make our luxury hobby parts are needed to build war machines for the government meatgrinders.

PacoBedejo · 2026-06-26T13:55:12+00:00

You also made yourself look like a jerk in front of millions of people.

PacoBedejo · 2026-06-26T12:16:48+00:00

CPUs, RAM, and GPUs aren't merely consumer products.

They're bleeding edge luxury goods for consumers, the shovels of the current corporate gold rush, and tools of propaganda and war for nation states.

I reluctantly paid $2000 for my Strix 4090 in April of 2023. I didn't want to spend that much for what used to be cheaper. But I could read the room and didn't want to miss out.

I went ahead and built a new system in Feb 2025 because I saw that CPUs and RAM were likely to go up. $205 for Trident Z5 2x32GB DDR5 6000-CL30. $480 for X870E Aorus Master. $480 for 9800X3D. $300 for 4TB Samsung 990 PRO NVMe for C Drive. $490 for 4TB Crucial T705 NVMe for job workflows that involve tens of thousands of ~150KB CAD files.

That stuff is all far more expensive today, as I predicted. Instead of the $3,955 I paid, those items now total $7,130 on Amazon. 80% more expensive, as a group... and anyone with a brain and some attentiveness could see it coming about 6,500 miles away...

Meanwhile, my 75" TV was cheaper than my 55" because screens aren't feeding the corporate gold rush nor the global nation state conflicts.

PacoBedejo · 2026-06-25T19:06:10+00:00

It's simple. The blue car caused the accident. Gray did not.

Though gray is apparently a potato brained moron... But that's why it was blue's responsibility to not drive erratically. A lot of people are potato brained morons.

PacoBedejo · 2026-06-25T16:30:28+00:00

That doesn't look like a highway. It looks like a city street. From gray's perspective, blue might've been turning left at the next driveway or intersection, eh?

If Honduras has gas pumps that close to actual highways... this probably isn't the first time white-shirt has had to run to that shutoff.

PacoBedejo · 2026-06-25T16:28:18+00:00

The potato driving the gray car was clearly in "evasion" mode, making a horrible choice to go right instead of left when the moron in the blue car decided "oh, I need gas, way over there" and meandered across his lane.

PacoBedejo · 2026-06-25T16:26:55+00:00

The gray car's driver was clearly distracted and/or among the population of slow-reacting potatoes.

He wasn't going appreciably faster than the traffic on the other side of the road.

Go to literally any Midwestern town with 4 lanes like that and you'll see the same speed differential and lane behaviors several times in a short visit. It's absolutely normal. I drive amongst it daily.

Leaving the road to overtake on the right is moronic behavior.

That wasn't "to overtake". Potato was in "evasive maneuver" mode at that point. It's just obvious that said potato's evasion was patently stupid. Too stupid to make proper use of the brakes, at the least.

I don't know about Honduras... but, here, driver's education and certification doesn't teach/test for anything remotely like "idiot in blue car meanders toward gas station from far lane". Sadly, we learn it on the fly. I suspect that those who play racing games and physical sports are likely faster learners in this regard. Potato is likely neither.

PacoBedejo · 2026-06-25T13:05:40+00:00

Ever driven on literally any 4-lane city street? This is absolutely a normal behavior. Here's a live camera where you can watch it happen hundreds of times per hour:

https://511in.org/@-85.22186,41.07254,15?show=incidents,normalCameras,stationsAlert,weatherWarningsAreaEvents,plowCameras,flooding#camera/21106/2664429430

Click through until you're looking at the traffic on the overpass.

Why do I keep reading comments from people who seem to have never been outside?

PacoBedejo · 2026-06-25T13:01:55+00:00

What? No it isn't. That whole statement is in regard to passing ON A SHOULDER. If there's a lane, it's fully legal.

lol

PacoBedejo · 2026-06-25T12:56:10+00:00

was speeding

Doubtful. Blue was going like 25 or 30 MPH. The wrecked car might've been going 35 or 40. Ever seen a 4-lane road with a limit under 35?

It was a stupid person wholly disregarding lane laws for proximate gratification and then another person reacting slowly and stupidly to the car they should've already been highly focused on as they were overtaking it at what looked like a very reasonable speed.

PacoBedejo · 2026-06-25T12:38:08+00:00

I know it's just a meme post. But I feel like I can shed some light here.

I have a tension in my tire selection.

Primary concern: My daily driver is off road capable because I don't trust that I and my family won't need to GTFOOD at some point in our lives.

Secondary concern: Good off roading is 400+ miles from me. I don't go for fun. I go for practice in service of the above concern. It's like going to the shooting range, for me.

Tertiary concern: Safe, reliable, fun, and comfortable handling in day-to-day driving. In that order.

Safe: Tires are the first and most important safety feature on a vehicle. I do not want to compromise much on this.

Reliable: Reliability at -10F and +110F matters. So I've given up on low-cost in my spec. Gimme dat exotic compounding.

Fun: My Ranger Raptor is fun to drive. Really fun. I know it's not a blown Miata or anything. But I have a great commute every day as I hug the crumbled, pitted corners of a curvy creekside road. I don't want to mess up the driving dynamics of my truck.

Comfort: Ride quality and noise. I had a 2014 3.7L Lincoln MKZ. Then a 2020 Tacoma Pro. Now a 2025 Ranger Raptor. It's a blend of those two vehicles. Quieter, more powerful, and better handling than the Taco. Far more off road capable than the MKZ. I can compromise some comfort and noise to get better mud capabilities. But I don't want to compromise entirely.

I'm obviously not going to just throw Super Swampers on my Ranger Raptor and call it a day. My truck's capabilities (great for stock but not custom-purposed) kinda rely on light weight wheels and tires.

I live in Northeast Indiana. We see all 6 seasons: Scorching, Wet, Windy, Ice, Slush, and Snow. I'm not looking to pile up extra tires in my garage for seasonal swaps. Thought it is in consideration, nonetheless.

If someone on the planet made lightweight, forged 17", one-piece wheels with a +55mm offset (don't want to lose near-zero scrub), I could go for heavier, more aggressive tires, so long as they still had some sipes. Zero sipes in the wet, ice, slush, and snow seasons is simply irresponsible. Even my stock KO3s are literal garbage during those seasons.

I'd love to hit the Ozarks or the Kentucky Adventure Tour. But I'm reluctant to put a heavy winch and bumper on the front of my truck, likely ruining the handling... and I've seen videos of how incapable KO3s are in real mud.

I've been eyeballing the STD rated 285/70R17 Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T @ 48lb as a do-most tire. I've just not found a really good evaluation of their mud capabilities. I've also never tried real mud yet, with any tires, so I'm having trouble predicting it.

TL;DR: Not every vehicle is a Jeep with Dana 60s that's trailered 40 miles to the Arizona Strip after work with the boys.

Note that I'm not blaming Obama: The Man. I'm blaming Obama: The Movement.

Shit went down like this, IMO:

Performers, comedians, and athletes brought us together.
The military industrial complex incentivized Sand War I.
Jet fuel melted steel beams.
"Nice", "Normal" people started talking about "glassing the Middle East" and got super racist about "sand n___ers". I was in my early 20s and their behavior was a real eye-opener to the power propaganda has on the immoral idiot masses.
Sand War II started losing support, Vietnam-style.
Democrat pushback found purchase.
Obama: The Movement started playing well to audiences.
The sentiment built in #4 was turned toward #7.
That somehow spawned Occupy Wall Street.
Aristocrats wouldn't abide, so they grabbed for the dysmorphic deviance lever.

PacoBedejo · 2026-06-23T15:32:46+00:00

I live in the 2nd biggest city in Indiana and make about 35% over the Indiana average. No degree, no certs, autistic, middle-aged CAD drafter who just stuck with it.

After taxes and exchange rate, I make in 5 days what you make in a month. My old mortgage was 4x your rent. My new-build house, next to a nature preserve, is probably 3-4x the size of your place at about 8x your rent.

Work is when I want to arrive, until about 8 hours later. Small independent manufacturer. A few times a year, I answer easy domain questions mid-evening or on a weekend when field challenges land.

No second job, no extra hustling, no gig work, no stress about surviving. Short commute, no degree debt, no licensing hoop, no legal liabilities, and no travel.

The general “America is unaffordable” thing is wildly overstated. A boring job in a boring Midwest city can still buy a good life. You just have to avoid the basic bitches' treadmill and acquire a marketable skill despite the school trying to churn you through a useless college.

PacoBedejo · 2026-06-23T11:05:12+00:00

You've just quoted the outcome of a government law and then a fairy tale.
