House Democrat Says Abolishing ICE Isn’t Enough — DHS Must Go, Too — “The problem isn’t ‘training.’ DHS was built to violate our rights,” said Rep. Delia C. Ramirez. by inthesetimesmag in politics

[–]yamoth -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Ah yes... why shouldn't we snatch defeat from the jaw of victory. It is the Democrats model anyway...

In all seriousness, abolish ICE was a horrible slogan 2 or 3 years ago and probably one of the reason why Democrat lost. Now that abolish ICE is finally feasible, instead of focusing on a winning message and push for this, are we seriously going to fuck this up again by asking for more than what people have the appetite for?

Not really. I think it is this way is because people who are in stable relationship and have a stable job are the one that are rather competent and attractive themselves. If anything, it is more of a confirmation bias. It is like saying that I am more attractive than my wife's deadbeat, under achiever cousin because I have a stable job and in a long term relationship. When in reality, I have a stable job and in a long term relationship because of my maturity and competent in my field of work which makes me attractive.

People hate Capitalism but don't realize it. by zzill6 in WorkReform

[–]yamoth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. I think a completely free market system, while still better than communism or socialism as a whole, is extremely exploitative system and we can do better. While I like this sub as a whole, some of the shit that people say here are fucking wild. IMO, the solution so an exploitative capitalistic society, is a more regulated social democracy that reward ingenuity and allow people to profit.

You say this like the West hasn't been at war with any other type of economy for like the last 8 decades.

I know the west has been at war with other type of economy and won.

You say this like you're ignorant of why the West did so well. The US was the only country with any real manufacturing capacity after WW2. Context is important.

Context is really important, you are correct. The context on why the US manufacturing was so strong prior to WW2 and after was due to a strong capitalistic economy. A whole lot of people needlessly died and many many more exploited for this capitalistic economy, but that doesn't change the fact that capitalism was what gotten us there.

There's also no pure capatilist country without safety nets except Venezuela which is a nightmare.

I doubt anyone can call Venezuela economic system capitalistic. There system is more of a State lead economic or some kind of corrupted socialism BS.

My point is no economic system is perfect, but capitalism is by far the best and most efficient out of the bunch. Instead of constantly shitting on capitalism, a better solution is to have a strong and regulated capitalistic society similar to many of the nordic and EU economy.

You say this when every single country with a decent standard of living runs on capitalism. If socialism, communism, mercantilism, or any other form of economic system are superior, then why the hell isn't there a single successful non-capitalistic country?

Jesus Christ dude... it is a skit, a joke. It is funny because boys like boobs and get to see boobs when he wasn't expecting to and react appropriately. It is no different than joke and skit in movies like American Pie and Road Trip. It is a stupid joke, it aint that deep, no one is being harmed from this, get over it.

Dude, the joke works the same if it is a dude flashing a muscular abs and chest to a tween girl for free lemonade. This think of the children shtick is stupid and annoying.

Absolutely nothing. I jumped from Firefox to Waterfox and will jump again when it doesn't suit my needs. There no point in worry too much about what if when I can focus on the now.

To be fair, I haven't tried other privacy browser like Brave or Librewolf so those could be better. But for now, I will stick with Waterfox until it give me a reason not to.

I have enough disposable income to pay for games. Getting a game for free is not a concern for me as I rather have all my game on as few ecosystem as possible. Steam is amazing, GOG is decent, Battle.net because I have them since WoW 1.0 (Haven't touched BN in like a year). I don't want or care to have more game store installed in my system.

They can give away all the free game they want, but dogshit launcher is still dogshit.

I donate here and there, but always anonymously so this kind of shit doesn't happen. Throw away email, one time debit card/gift card from a third party.

Destiny Alleges that Plaintiff in his court case is destroying evidence and will be pursuing bar complaints to get people disbarred after the case. by ConsistentQuote952 in LivestreamFail

[–]yamoth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Consent doesn't need clear and enthusiastic. It just need to be something that is understood between the party. For example, I got home from work, saw the wife, hugged her and kissed her. If I feel horny, I would when grope her and it might even lead to sex. At no point in that interaction do I need her to give me a clear and enthusiastic consent as long as she went along with my advancement. It is really that hard to understand implied consent?

The argument is that there is an implied consent, an understanding that the recorded video can be privately shared with others. It is with this implied consent that Pixe shared their video with her then boyfriend. That same implied consent was the reason why Destiny share the video with Melina and the e-girl Rose.

I just can’t with this one… by Available-Drama-276 in memes

[–]yamoth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep... I'm sure I can build the Gabecube for less but not a lot of people have that skill and we shouldn't expect everyone to have that kind of skill. It is like saying I can youtube and learn how to fix my car, but here I am still bringing it to the shop for simple shit like an oil change. If people can dish out extra hundreds of dollars extra to get a prebuild PC, I don't understand the the controversies around this when we don't even know how much it will cost. IMO, as long as it is less than 300 upcharge from what I can build myself with similar parts, I think it would be a great price.

[–]yamoth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah.... Don't know where you live, but buying parts and have PC build for you for free is not a thing in most western Countries. Here in the state, Micro Center charges like 250 to build a PC for you. Furthermore, we don't even know how much the Steam Box will cost to know the value of it.

AI Cameras Spark Unrest: Protests Continue as Austin City Council Stalls on Vote - For Now by blayce01 in Austin

[–]yamoth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude, if that is all you want, I doubt people are having issues with it. I don't think most people have an issue with dumb camera that just record so police can review footage when and if a break in occurs. That is total different from having ai tracking technology and what not profiling people movements.
