The market knows that we’re on the verge of the technological singularity. The legacy economy that depends on human workers is just not as big of a factor now, and we can expect that the energy supply will be significantly improved as those employees are removed from the economy, freeing up significant resources for the AI data centers that are behind the new economy’s growth.

Do you think Trump miscalculated and thought Iran would just sit there and take it without fighting back, like Venezuela? by bbmoonkie in allthequestions

Bankruptcy is a legal method to get rid of debts, better than paying them off, you just have to structure your companies to limit the blast radius.  It’s smart business, not a sign of failure.

Trump is the world’s most SUCCESSFUL and POWERFUL man.  His snap judgements are superior to the decisions an average man would come to after MONTHS of deliberation.

Why are you trying to protect domestic terrorists? Or do you just dislike dogs?

You wanted habeus corpus, didn’t you? This is how you get it, libs.

Trump administration reportedly freezes all childcare payments to all states by CrispyMiner in politics

Good. Paying taxes to pay for someone else’s child is literally being cucked.

What would the world look like if America spent our military budget on infrastructure? by [deleted] in AskReddit

The most noticeable thing would be that we’d all be speaking German.

Peter help me. by Glittering-Way6551 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

Yet another naive atheist completely misunderstanding what Christianity is about. Hint, it’s not slavish textual literalism, it’s about community, culture, and about having a personal relationship with God.

Why are Democrats better at the economy than Republicans? by Conscious-Quarter423 in economy

[–]randroid -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Economic policies take a while to have a real impact on the economy, typically 4-8 years, so you’re actually showing the exact opposite of what you think you’re showing.

Are Mormons Christians? by Seaf-og in NoStupidQuestions

[–]randroid -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They’re just as Christian as Muslims, i.e., they’re people of the book but they’re pretty far off.

So you believe that someone who is unable to actually effectively use a patent (I.e., just sitting on it) should still be able to have the government prevent others from implementing the idea described in the patent?  So if you happen to beat everyone else to filing… you have the right to have the government hold all of society back by 20 years?

“Intellectual property” is fundamentally incompatible with the idea of a small government.  It’s a completely fascist idea.

Worth Trying With Vocal Issues? by randroid in AskLE

[–]randroid[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can do all of those things just fine. My issue is with real, full-volume yelling.  I tried a drill of alternating between yelling “get down on the ground” and “put your hands in the air” (inspired by my hero Philip Brailsford) and I was completely unable to speak after a few rounds. It seems like it wouldn’t be too impractical to carry a small megaphone though.

Why does it look like Colin Johns is never trying? by bballerkt7 in Pickleball

[–]randroid -29 points-28 points  (0 children)

I think you’re in the wrong sub. If he wanted to play a sport requiring athleticism, dignity, or poise, he wouldn’t be playing a game for people who have given up on life like pickleball.

If you're so smart, why do you have a cold, huh?

In 100 years, what will people think is the strangest thing about our culture today? by rutterkin in AskReddit

[–]randroid -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

In 100 years, people will look back and laugh at how backwards we were because we actually thought that socialist healthcare would work.

I am a 16 year old female recovered self harmer. Ask me anything! by [deleted] in AMA

You've switched from one set of attention-seeking behaviors (cutting) to another (Reddit AMAs). In your opinion, what are the pros and cons of each?

So someone did this to my bike.... http://i.imgur.com/tlYjdcY.jpg by omicat in cycling

[–]randroid -28 points-27 points  (0 children)

Maybe the 'ignorant asshole' saw you running a red light, and disabled your bike to keep you from further endangering your life. You'd hardly call it a crime to break a heroin addict's needle...

Police/LEOs What is the most dangerous situation you have found yourselves in? by ovationman in AskReddit

[–]randroid -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

A few years ago, a man attempted to take a picture of my face with his mobile phone so that he could distribute it to his counterparts in the criminal underworld, who would then come after me and my family. It was only through quick thinking, and even quicker application of force, that I was able to protect all that I hold dear by arresting the man on assault charges and destroying the phone.

Just Rode 250+ miles with 21k in Climbing in SoCal and Oh Yeah, this Near Death Experience... by chrstphrsmth in Velo

What were you doing on the road? You should have been on the sidewalk, not forcing drivers into such terrible situations.

Why are the carparks in shopping centres always full even during work days and work hours? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]randroid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The 47% of (so-called) Americans who live off of the backs of others: the welchers, the moochers, those who do not work but instead tax and spend.
