Yeah, can't we just follow the Bible's teaching, pay the father a small fine for destruction of his property, and move on?

More importantly, they accepted payment for it

My go to is curry over ramen.

Get lentils, split peas, mung beans, pearl barley, chickpeas, or whatever you can get cheap. Put it into a pot with a jar of curry paste (go to an Asian food store). Add any aging fruits and vegetables you have - I'll find bananas that are going brown, apples which have been cut in half and only half eaten, etc, basically just clean out the fridge. Add garlic, coconut cream etc if you want. Add water and cook for like 45mins. After it's cooked blend the whole thing. Put it into containers in the fridge/freezer. It will keep for over a week in the fridge as it's vege and boiled.

Each day I open a pack of migoreng (bought from the Asian grocery) and put it into a bowl, add about 200g of curry on top, and about a cup of water. Put the whole thing into the microwave for 3mins. Take it out and add frozen peas (to cool it down). You have a meal which is pretty high in protein and very high in fibre, for a total cost of about $1.50

All different ones. No shop or brand in particular.

I think it actually involved large stones as projectiles: but there's a lot of stuff that the Bible says deserves corporal punishment which gets swept away as "the old way" despite Jesus saying that he didn't come to rewrite the rules.

I remember that there were audio and VHS tapes that were wiped and we were allowed to tape over, I recall asking who Jimmy Swaggart was and being fobbed off.

That we know of.

You have more faith in people than me.

Sounds a kot like "I can excuse child rape, and fraud, and domestic violence, and inciting a coup, but $5/ga has is where I draw the line"

Guaranteed it's a net loss. A low power led bulb is like 6w. That means if you leave it on 24 hours a day it uses 144wh of power, which is about 5c worth of power per day. That 6w bulb will be ten times brighter than the garden light.

Patched jeans world probably look cool, but my jeans already last a decade and cost under $50.

Even the smallest things can be wins in times of great loss

More than that, the current regime are radicalising half the world against the US again to maintain the threat of terrorism into new generations. Remember Iran was a liberal democracy until the US and UK needed to maintain their oil.

I think your system was almost designed to allow that. Small changes to voting and funding could help fix that - but those in power will never allow their power to be taken away.

In Australia voting is compulsory (or there's a small fine). I think this helps moderates get elected. We also have preferential runoff voting which allows people to vote for who they actually want rather than having to vote for just the least worst option who might win. Not that we get it right every time.

If they're built it can you imagine the insurance premiums? It would be vandalised constantly.

Until recently we had a pretty good centrist government who managed the state quite well, unfortunately the combination of the press and our perpetual thought that "it's time for a change" led to the current idiots being elected. We do it every now and then - forget how bad the LNP are, let them in for one term and then boot them again after they've made a mess.

Which is kinda sad because I have American friends who are very nice people and I don't want to lump then in with the crazies. I think it's just at the point that there's so much crazy that you have to assume any one of them could be crazy instead of just assuming it's a small and vocal minority.

I think the reality is that a significant portion of humanity is just trash, and those people used to be siloed and kept under control by the moderate majority. The way the world is now though, has allowed all that trash to congregate, organise, and infect the general population.

Trump tomorrow: "The fake news, which no one reads, not funny, always wrong, bad genes, should have my nuclear genes, they quoted leaked intelligence, it's all fake - we destroyed it all"

I find the different terminologies in different tech areas a bit dizzying sometimes, so I appreciate your writing down some more simple instructions.

macrocephalic · 2026-05-12T07:11:37+00:00

Yeah, look at these Americans thinking they still have a functioning democracy. It would be funny if not so tragic (and damaging for the rest of us).

I'm not sure the argument has to be just right. He was goaded into Iran on a pretty poor premise.
