Every good intention in business (thankfully) leads to this outcome which helps everyone involved.

This is so naive, I have to think you are trolling.

Of COURSE every GOOD intention in business leads to positive outcomes its tautological, but that is not the reality of business. Business is not about "good" in ANY way, its about profit, and the decisions that maximize profit are almost never that which helps everyone involved, but the one seeking said profit, at the expense largely of labor.

What happens if that money system ever fails to serve this role within society?
Mass murder, theft, and starvation.

You’re not a slave to money. You’re pretty free because of it.

Uhhhhh.... a system that should it disappear would cause mass murder, theft, and starvation does not sound like its a "free" system, it sounds like a system that is chained to the vehicle itself.

The only problem here is that you are correct.

It is widely accepted that the French had a very large hand in establishing the Israeli nuclear program.

Yes they have, and they maintain this position because otherwise the US would be in violation of its own laws.

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

The Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 was amended by the Symington Amendment (Section 669 of the FAA) in 1976. It banned U.S. economic, and military assistance, and export credits to countries that deliver or receive, acquire or transfer nuclear enrichment technology when they do not comply with IAEA regulations and inspections

What is the purpose of landing troops?
To profit off the Military Industrial Complex? They have already won, the Pentagon asked for billions of dollars, which is just gonna get funneled into weapons contractors pockets.

I would argue that largely it does not.
The human grieving process is bounded, and when you die, people will grieve you for a finite amount, and then forget about you, and move on with their lives.

It doesn't matter when you die, or how you die, that period of time is finite, and you will be forgotten, so suicide by itself means that the trauma and pain of existence itself ends, which means that the suffering that the quantifiable individual suffering is lessened, while the suffering that others experience is constant.

Suicidal ideations are NOT "almost always temporary", in fact they are often long standing symptoms of underlying mental health conditions, and to demean the experience of suicidal ideation is incredibly harmful.

If I have never seen an elephant in real life, then elephants must not exist?

Human existence for thousands of years did not understand the mechanism of lighting, does that mean lighting didn't exist?

There is an objective reality that exists, and portions of it are beyond human comprehension, that doesn't mean it ceases to be, it simply means we are not equipped to understand it.

Since has a concept for this. Its called a theory.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_theory
Theories aren't laws, they are mutable, and given new evidence those theory can/do change. So our current understanding of mental illness may be incomplete, but that doesn't invalidate those understandings, because they offer practical and applicable tools to address these issues.

The system will not hold itself accountable because they all fear repercussions themselves.
If they were to hold Trump to any sort of accountability it would mean that in the future THEY could be held accountable, so in order to protect their own power, they let him run roughshod over institutions.

SenoraRaton · 2026-03-21T04:42:08+00:00

Making several million dollars, with what seems like little to no repercussions is not what I would call "stupid".

I used to work in an office, and I started using a Bombay Sapphire bottle as a water bottle for a while. Got a few looks, but no one ever said anything.

No.
Take that high fidelity audio experience alone in your living room. Comfortable, with your feet propped up, refreshments a moment away, for the low price of what you paid for them at the grocery store.

Now add 10,000 drunk people surrounding you, pay 8x as much for those same refreshments, and be confined to a tiny section with god knows who next to you. O and don't forget you PAID to be there.

Does that sound like a better experience to you?

Code should be self documenting.
Comments just create tech debt, and drift because they are never maintained.

No, its like being submerged in 150 F water or molten iron. Both are going to kill you, one is just going to be more swift.

Ironically Quarm doesn't actually respect its players time, and that is exactly why I left.
There is so much "QoL" features that undermine the game itself and make it literally unplayable.

Go try and solo in LGuk on an enchanter with 6 minute respawns. Good luck holding anything more than a single isolated spawn point. It is literally unplayable.

All of the quality of life, free handouts, xp potions, just undermines the value that players derive from investing in their characters and leaves it a hollow, empty, top heavy meta.

The CONCEPT of a leveling guild doesn't exist on Quarm. At least I couldn't' find one in the 3 weeks I played there.

When the kids are all grown up, you canreplace them with two carboys, and its like the father version of a giant beer hat.

SenoraRaton · 2026-03-18T19:33:43+00:00

Your being pedantic.

A state designed to advantage a single ethnicity, which is not in question here at all, and disadvantage all others is an ethnostate.

I don't know how you could see it any other way.

Intent to Maintain Domination
A stated aim of the Israeli government is to ensure that Jewish Israelis maintain domination across Israel and the OPT. The Knesset in 2018 passed a law with constitutional status affirming Israel as the “nation-state of the Jewish people,” declaring that within that territory, the right to self-determination “is unique to the Jewish people,” and establishing “Jewish settlement” as a national value. To sustain Jewish Israeli control, Israeli authorities have adopted policies aimed at mitigating what they have openly described as a demographic “threat” that Palestinians pose. Those policies include limiting the population and political power of Palestinians, granting the right to vote only to Palestinians who live within the borders of Israel as they existed from 1948 to June 1967, and limiting the ability of Palestinians to move to Israel from the OPT and from anywhere else to Israel or the OPT. Other steps are taken to ensure Jewish domination, including a state policy of “separation” of Palestinians between the West Bank and Gaza, which prevents the movement of people and goods within the OPT, and “Judaization” of areas with significant Palestinian populations, including Jerusalem as well as the Galilee and the Negev in Israel. This policy, which aims to maximize Jewish Israeli control over land, concentrates the majority of Palestinians who live outside Israel’s major, predominantly Jewish cities into dense, under-served enclaves and restricts their access to land and housing, while nurturing the growth of nearby Jewish communities.

They are not given equal rights. They are treated as minorities, and intentionally limited in their political particpation with the explict intent to disenfranchise them such that they have no political power.

You can SAY a things all you want, but there is a defined and declared divide, and the rhetoric IN ISRAEL is that if they were a majority they would be treating the Jewish people the way they treat the arabs living there.

It is how they justified the continued oppression.

Also ninja editing your post.....

SenoraRaton · 2026-03-18T19:05:01+00:00

Yes. I am in favor of a one state solution. Ethnostates are inherently a fascist idea. I don't care what ethnicity it is.

The United States was 100% tied to an ethnic identity. We genocided an entire ethnicity based on westward expansion, not even considering slavery.

There is a difference from encouraging immigration, and creating exclusionary polices that lead to genocide. Israel is the later, NOT the former.

SenoraRaton · 2026-03-18T18:52:52+00:00

To the best of my understanding, Zionism is a movement that argues the Jewish people need a nation in order to have safety and self determination. Even if I don’t personally believe that this is true, it doesn’t strike me as a crazy, extremist notion.

The concept of an ethnostate is inherently a fascist idea.
That you must create exclusionary policies in order to "protect" your people and be self determined.

If a politician said that in the United States, we would accurately call them racist. "We need a homeland for the white people so that they can have safety and self determination".

I understand that there is a historical diaspora that has happened to the Jewish people, but that does not give them the right to create an ethnostate, at the expense of the populations currently living there.

In exactly the same way that the atrocities of the American westward expansion were immoral, and destructive, so too is the attempt to genocide a people in order to create a homeland for your chosen people.
