You’re what an internet turtle philosopher describe as “the pretentious dude at a party who thinks he’s got everything figured out. Really now? You figured out the meaning of life and you’re certain of it?”
Okay, then why do you care about human knowledge and want to learn as much as possible? What about the application of that knowledge?
Do you care about knowledge or wisdom?
To what end do you apply that knowledge?
To what ends will you acquire that knowledge?
This is plain dumb and the same rhetoric that got America into its fascist me first bullshit policy in the first place.
The system got hijacked. The people speaking out are getting arrested and deported to a foreign death camp. The US will course correct, or need help doing so.
Sit your militant LARPIng troll ass down and let the adults figure this shit out. A war is not good for either country, nor is a need for constant paranoia like you’re suggesting.
Yeah, blocked hexbear too.
Those people are absolutely fucking unhinged and do not engage in any sort of good faith argument.
After one round, I got name called, after round two asking for clarification, I just left.
Time is precious, the squirrels in my yard are more coherent than these chucklefucks.
Hell, even two crows would be better
No one is saying don’t make thrilling drama. But there’s a wildly successful British baking show that proves wholesome works too.
Instead of defaulting to cynicism and worshipping money/power, let’s make some thrilling drama that don’t involve shitty rich people.
I bet you watching rich fuckers eat shit would sell very well given the current climate of neo-feudalism
Not necessarily. Smart people have interesting lives too.
You don’t lose a character arc just because you have more than two brain cells
The goons in John Wick have more credibility than cops. I’d love a franchise where it’s just John Wick gunning down these IRL goons and knock it off with this thin blue line propaganda horseshit
I do agree with and appreciate the nuance, it’s clear from your careful wording you understand conservatism by definition doesn’t have a cause to stand for, hence reactionary. It’s apt in a good faith discussion.
My problem is supplying ammunition for bad faith discussion. Like what “libertarians” are to conservatives. They’ll claim they’re not conservatives, they’re just libertarians. All the while supporting the same goals with a different name.
Just call it what it is. It’s fascist. It’s the fascist party. All of these - afd, maga, same unimaginative shit.
Inventing new terms is what these fuckers want. Remind them they’re not new and been wrong before.
I didn’t realize muscle was so flabby
At least then they could afford to have a heart attack. Heck, have two
They can issue orders. Not all are legal. But since they replaced the JAGs, this might be closer to reality.
Niooce.
Well, AOC is often only referred to by her initials
Wealth tax can treat early infections if used aggressively enough.
You’ll need surgery to treat the current condition.
Ooo! Those are good alternatives. I’ll give em a read through. It might solve something on my end.
Say I want to move cities for a new job. There are at least two uncertainties I need to resolve -
This prevents me from wanting to buy immediately.
What prevents me from selling immediately is losing a stable footing I can plan around if the new city doesn’t work out. More broadly for everyone in this situation though is the cash sits.
I will need to buy immediately or park it in some investment that keeps pace/liquid enough to convert back to a house, which requires additional knowledge/research.
So to be risk averse, sitting on the house is generally a safe default…
But thank you for starting me on considering this as an options and what parameters need to be met to make sense.
This advice is indistinguishable from unsolicited mail wanting to buy houses in cash at above market rate… Presumably so Blackrock can jack it up, restrict supply, and charge way more while doing way less.
Which is exactly what OP post is trying to fix.
I’m not a hero, but I’m doing what’s fair given the system we have. Even I’m saying this is fucked, but it’s the best I can do to affect things for the better.
As a current landlord about to extend a lease at exactly the same terms for 3rd year in a row (and I fix everything within 24 hours) - I agree with this too.
It’s ridiculous that my largest store of value is a speculation bubble and a piece of paper with my name on it

Here you go. You forgot this.
It’s not meaning. It’s just a mechanism. It’s the canvas to what we do and ascribe meaning to.
Then again, our “meaning” might simply be a mechanism to another system
