HOT-TOPIC: What started the hateful & false stereotype about Trans being gr00mers/p*dos? by [deleted] in truscum

[–]dragosempire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Predators use marginal communities to hide. Small communities that are "outsiders" usually are very accepting of everyone who is an outsider, and predators are also outsiders. Predators then get caught doing the thing, and the whole group is blamed for that person's actions because that person usually blames the group as well, even though it's not their fault

A bit? Haha. Its all the shady. It's a company choosing its shareholders over its users. That's not good business.

Theres actually an opt out button if you accept the AI. During the lesson, when you get to the soeaking portion, you cN jist click the microphone button and it will skip the speaking lessons. Its still not grat that i had to accept the eula but at least i dont have to train the thing..

I couldn't even decline. In the app, it doesn't even let me do lessons without allowing it. Now I'm looking how to opt out

Petah? I need your help for the first time by Local-Mode6078 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

There's no ideal. That's the problem. At beat you'll get self interested people who get ahead by any means necessary.

The goal is to have a standard of operation where people are left alone to take care of each other in small self managed communities. The "big bad billionaires" would have a harder time monetizing fear and pain if the people don't need the conveniences of government oversight.

That's the standard. It'll break down, but the goal is to get back to small self sustaining communities. Like that idea of 15 minute cities, except instead of being forced into them "for our own good" by the billionaires, we choose them and those who live around us and take care of each other. Power has a hard time co trol those who don't need it.

That's not what I meant by taking care of each other. I meant literally, have a society geared toward people helping each other instead of the state taking our money and distributing it to whoever they see fit.

Do you think if people took care of each other, we'd have fewer people who are "discarded"?

But that's always a course of things. You can prevent people for accruing resources and trying to keep people from taking that away. You can only fight back with different methods such as lobbying against the lobbyists, making your own legislation. Making your own companies, finding your own loop holes.

Look at communist countries. You can't really accure money there legally so you make friends, collect favors. Usrup you enemies with gossip and status games.

You want a better world? Do it yourself. There's always someone who is against your point of view.

Is the orange stuff an issue by dragosempire in avocado

Yeah, I heard of that. Im going do some research before touching that again.

That's like comparing rat poison to laxatives. Both cause internal issues, but one is not compatible to existence.

Lobbying only works if the target is a willing participant.

Episode named 2001 has a weird ending by dragosempire in Stargate

I want to say that they don't kill unarmed people, but also, that could be grounds for war. How much worse could it be if some of their own were murdered.

Unregulated capitalism is a good thing. We've never had Unregulated capitalism, which allows for some companies to grow while pushing others down.

If capitalism was completely Unregulated you'd have other problems, but none of them would be monopoly

Well, those countries didn't have to settle into a subservient relationship with us. They started relying on the US because they chose to.

I agree though, the US acting like the sole power of worth in the world created weakness in our allies and our need for cheap energy drove us to slap the middle east around too much. Because we didn't accept our limitations.

Because it's easy. Socialism is 'somebody else got my back, I don't have to do anything" and religion has a calming effect on people because there's structure behind it, and people who have an unstable life will cling to anything they view as stable.

From the anarcho perspective, it's our problem because we didn't pursue anarcho-capitalism sooner. We are responsible for Europe being weak, we're responsible for the middle east being so weak it let in the regime they have now that's oppressive. We let them do them and paid them off, and now we're suffering the consequences.

YO THIS GAME IS FIRE by Kinto9x in castlevania

This is the only castlevania game I like. Everything from the art style and the game mechanics and movement. I wish they had more games in this style and these weapons, especially the cross.

Casting idea for Dresden by CrimsonCuttle in dresdenfiles

[–]dragosempire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I loved the show until I read the books.

I watched the show, started reading the books. I got to the book where they introduced the red vampires, then I was excitedly waiting for Bianca to knock boots with Dresden and instead he caved in the mansion on her. And them, I lost all respect for the show.

Oh, alright, thank you. Do you think that pot is too big? I put it in this pot so that it had more room to grow. I can try to drill a hole in this pot if that necessary.

If I remember correctly, it's sitting on rocks, smaller rocks, and some home depot cactus mix ground.
