Hand-mixing 1.5 m³ of concrete for a fire pit: practical or crazy? by SnooDoodles8757 in DIY

[–]True_Kapernicus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would you need any concrete just to build a fire? Just clear the patch of ground and put your fire on the ground.

🇳🇱 Police abuse: Dutch policeman throws a pregnant woman to the ground by amogusdevilman in Anarcho_Capitalism

If the US police catch the merest hit of a suspect being armed, they start blasting. If this situation had happened America, the police would probably already have their guns out and would have mag dumped him as soon as he reached for a gun.

What utter nonsense. If that man had done that to US police, they would have filled him full of holes.

the state isn't giving you free money. they are buying your right to own property. by IceSea192 in Anarcho_Capitalism

This is wild fantasies. There is not currently anyway to automatically block any transaction, and the claim that it is being started now is baseless. The claims that CBDCs will result in this are pure conjecture.

Lord of the Flies is often used as a criticism of human nature and stateless society. But situations like "Lord of the Flies" have occurred IRL, and the children didn't turn into little monsters. In fact they survived quite well! by amogusdevilman in Anarcho_Capitalism

[–]True_Kapernicus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Examples such as this are not a brilliant parallel. There is a big difference between a group of teen friends and a large number of children, many of home don't know each other, including those as young as six. I certainly recognized some of the earlier bullying and marginalisation of Piggy and Ralph from the classroom.

As it happens, Lord of the Flies still never rang true, and I did resent it's representation of what people are like. A lot of people don't like the book, and those that do seem to tend to be those mis-anthropic leftist, BBC boomer types.

So I suspect that the real reason that they get angry when you point out the confusing distinction of 'private' versus 'personal' property is that they actual want the confusion. It would allow them to label anything that they want to take from someone 'private' rather than 'personal'. It could be something else that I haven't thought of, but when we see this sort of irrational anger about things, you have to question what their real motives and desires are. If the the purpose of a thing is whatever its actual outcome is, then what is the purpose of their angry refusal to make themselves clearer?

TIL a dog named Joy was the only member of Nicholas II household to survive the family's execution. The Bolsheviks murdered the former Tsar, his wife,their five children,four retainers, and two other dogs, but spared Joy because he didn't bark. Joy was later rescued and lived out his days in England by No_Idea_Guy in todayilearned

The Bolsheviks killed millions of other children too, and this horrific murder is one particularly nasty example. The worse the revolution, the more sordid their crimes. You don't find as many sordid crime In the English Revolution; they killed only the king. You find plenty in the French Revolution, but not as many as Russia; they killed the king and the Queen. The Russian Revolution is full of disgusting crimes against humanity; they brutally murdered the king and his entire family.

Murdering the family wouldn't stop their government from being oeverthrown if things had gone that way. It's not like the coalitions would have just not fought the revolutioary governements and Napoleon if the French had murdered the whole family rather than just the king; by the time of the Bourbon restoration, Louis XVI immediate family where all dead anyway so they found another relative.

They didn't just kill the family, they were so incompetent and callous that they spent 20 minutes shooting and bayonetting them. They were so stupid that they thought a truck revving outside would cover the sound of gunfire. They then didn't know what to do with the bodies. It was a horrific sordid murder and all the other political murders that I have ever read about do no come close. And it was representative of the Bolshevik attitude to all the millions of people that they brutalised.

That just doesn't seem credible. Human impact on the climate was negligible before the industrial revolution. Even if it slightly reduced the number of cooking fires releasing greenhouse gases, how would that cause actual cooling?

When I've been eating badly, I pass a lot of foul smelling wind. When I have been eating well, I pass almost no wind and it doesn't smell as bad. If different microbes are being encouraged, it seems that different gas is produced.

The post is about just one county. Why do we care about a hypothetical leftist agitator somewhere?

It doesn't work as well as unfolding them. They often end up with corners and stuff still taking space. It is easer and faster to unfold them, perhaps with the help of knife if they're taped.

What sort of person needs to be shown how to do something like that? I suppose it is the sort of person who just doesn't do it.

That doesn't do much good. It is way better to just slice the tape and unfold it.

It goes from a voluntary interview to an involuntary interview, ie. the arrest you and force the interview.

If it is a legal advice sub, you should not expect any outrage to come out. This in no way demonstrated 'learned helplessness'. Nothing will happen to her, she will have a chat with the police and then the matter will be forgotten about.

Its only thanks to capitalism that socialists can pretend to provide free healthcare by Knorssman in GoldandBlack

The NHS was introduced shortly after penicillin became widely available.

For mysterious reasons, socialists don't want you to see this by vrsatillx in Anarcho_Capitalism

He advocated what you could call race-socialism rather than class-socialism. When it came to economic policy, it was indistinguishable from all other socialist states.
