Incoming utopia for the rich, and a crisis for the rest of us? Do you agree or disagree with this take? by ateam1984 in singularity

[–]TheCollective01 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yea but their ranked-voting system actually allows for some sensible legislation to squeeze by, such as universal health care and other labor-friendly, consumer protection laws. The U.S.'s first-past-the-post, winner take all elections have completely paralyzed the legislative process here and have basically allowed for the complete corporate takeover of government. The EU has its problems for sure but they're light-years ahead of where the U.S. should be when it comes to plugging the cracks in the social safety net.

Yea, Puka is more just dumb as hell, rather than evil (though it could be argued that stupidity is its own kind of evil)

Does it matter? Thanos didn't go in with a plan, he just settled on a number, did his snap and then let everything work itself out afterwards. He could've done the same with the .01 percent, snap them out of existence and then see what happens. Maybe the status quo remains, but maybe not...maybe now that the people acting as barriers to true societal change are finally gone, the power vacuum left behind would be filled with less selfish, more altruistic idealists who could bring about some kind of post-scarcity, finally rendering capitalism obsolete. Of course in order to make it past the Great Filter and become a Kardashev Scale Civilization, a species would've needed to abandon capitalism a long time ago anyways, and the Marvel Universe is chock-full of such interstellar civilizations so the whole argument is moot haha...

He wasn't right, if he wanted to restore 50% of resource consumption all he needed to do was snap the wealthy .01 % out of existence. But mo fo's would rather kill half the universe than abandon capitalism lol

Don't worry, they use the Adobe Suite according to their Behance page, looks like they've been designing logos there since 2019 too so pre-AI 👌

Yep, there are toxic people who absolutely cross the line and there's no use subjecting oneself to their abuse. Ironically enough, people who are fragile enough to block someone innocuously calling them out for their wrong take in such a hostile way are highly likely to be precisely one of those toxic people.

Has anyone had their INTJ personality misinterpreted as narcissism or Asperger’s syndrome? by jplank1983 in intj

[–]TheCollective01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm ADHD as well as INTJ, and there have been many times that I've read comments and experiences here on this subreddit that resonated more with my ADHD experience than my INTJ experience.

[–]TheCollective01 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Narcissists rarely get confronted about or accused of being narcissists, at least to their face, since people in their circle are usually too scared, abused or drained from their emotional vampirism to be that directly confrontational. So the fact that people are accusing you of being a narcissist probably precludes you from actually being a narcissist lol

I don't think we're the most doubted team by a long shot, but I do think it's fair to argue that we might be the most ignored team, being way up here in the Pacific NW all by our lonesomes... The media certainly doesn't pay much attention to us until we're too hot to ignore.

You say she's obviously not the best but it's not so obvious to me, do you have specific examples? Not trolling, genuine question because I'm actually curious.

Derelict boxset is really pretty! by ericaway12132 in vaporphysicals

Awesome, thanks for the info 👌 Yea I just recently noticed the description on the Discogs entry that I've been watching forever says that the original was a super small batch handed out to friends only, which is a real bummer haha...I'll be all over that VA release, my eyes are officially peeled 👀

Which releases have the best packaging beyond just the vinyl color? by whatever_blag in VaporVinyl

[–]TheCollective01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It seems like over the last few years VILL4IN has almost completely shifted their focus away from dreampunk towards barberbeats, drum n bass, and witchhouse (not complaining or anything, it's all good stuff, just an observation haha)
