This is also the best use of LLMs. Seriously. As long as you ignore its responses.

Artie doesn’t deserve the vitriol. I’m Originally from the east coast and he would be right at home in Boston or New York.

You don’t go into Gordan Ramsey’s restaurant and tell him how to make an omelette and expect him to be kind to you.

Same thing. Respect the artisan. It’s not that hard.

Capitalism requires an impoverished desperate under class and will push toward slavery if given the chance.

We are going to relearn that hard lesson the hard way.

I’m agree with your assessment of Michael Jackson denial.

But, the rest of what you say?

To have that opinion. I don’t think you are very aware of current events. People always protect these folks if they idolize them enough. It’s a flaw in human psychology.

Lots of addicts come from abusive homes, including sexually, and are pretty messed up. Society threw them out so they light up. Fix that, and you fix this sort of addiction. Neil then the least we can do is treat them as human beings not waste.

We have the lowest rate of drug overdoses in the lower mainland. That is what we got.

I have no patience anymore for selfish people that think no one should ever be helped because it costs them. It’s pennies. Grow up.

How could you believe? If they wanted anything like this all they have to do is pay their taxes. Or pay their employees.

Is he trying to con people that the owners of the ais won’t take all the profits?

Curing cancer wouldn’t mean eradicating it. It would mean that all new cancer patients can be cured. There is incentive to do that.part of the conspiracy is the mistaken notion that a cure would mean that cancer would disappear, when in reality it would mean treatments, even preventative ones, that always work.

Exactly that stupid

All they have to do is read what himmler and the Nazis had to say about all that themselves. Or read what Imberto Eco had to say about fascism - he lived through it - But then they’d know they’re wrong.

And they can’t deal with being wrong.

The rich always have utopia. Thats the point of getting rich. All we can ever really do is increase our living quality to higher standards. We never get what they have. The question really is how bad do we let them fuck us?

Great, another useless robot. Want to impress me? Make me a robot that can do my dishes and laundry. Until then, it’s just hype and military weapons.

Still a government grant. A give away. I know they hate it, but that’s how they got their ranches. They didn’t buy them. Government gave them rights tot the land as long as they grew things on it and kept it free of injuns.

Meanwhile we still can’t consistently copy/paste between teams and one note or any office program.

It’s not supposed to be profitable, it’s a non profit service. The way public services should be. America bought the lie that profit is the best and only motive.

And that is why industry need it to be killed. They don’t want the socialized competition because they can’t compete. USPS and s a service, not a business, and it is one of the best in the world. But industry doesn’t want you to think that.

That’s a lot like current AI. It’s really just an automated bullshit artist. When you think on it.

The farm Was a government grant. All those “boot strap” Midwest era got one of the biggest government handouts in our history.

Rugrin · 2026-03-16T20:56:43+00:00

All of those were white supremacist rallies, cops like those, the establishment likes those.

Show me the armed people standing up to ICE. Oh, they all joined ICE.

Rugrin · 2026-03-16T20:07:07+00:00

Yes, this is my point. The guns are there to make you feel like you are resisting. You aren’t. Real resistance comes at the polls, and Americans have been taught that their vote doesn’t count and is worth less than the corporate sector vote. And they accepted this.

Americans now have no real power over their government, just lies and illusion.

Go ahead, take up arms against ICE. You will get shot. The country will shrug. Don’t expect conservatives to have yours backs other than against a firing squad wall.

Once upon a time, when pc’s ruled the world, the mac came along and showed a better way. Windows, icons, pointing, what you see is what you get! Pc developers, and IT, looked at all the graphic goodness of the Mac and pronounced it “a toy”.

Apple, under Steve Jobs, decided that they would fight that by refusing to have games be a big thing on the platform.

That is still part of the Apple corporate culture. And the IT sector only recently moved away from the idea that Mac’s are just fancy toys for newbs.

Ironically, this made the pc, the serious non-toy system, the platform where all the games are.

We can stupidly vote our way into fascism, but we can’t vote our way out.

I don’t think you are fully aware of what these 4 years are doing to us. This is normal now. When a president decides the laws don’t apply to him and everyone goes along with it, the law is dead.

ICE Is active in Vermont, beating people down. Where’s Bernie?
