I’m about to make it one more…

I’m fairly sure we already do, but they are administered state by state, and not centralized.

Yes Stares aggressively to assert dominance

Bcz i drink cold tea like a civilized person…not hot tea like those damn yankies!

Well, damn, I knew I was doing something wrong.

Yeah, I dont get it. There’s a ring under my glass almost every time I make tea. Its no big deal, wipe it up, and move on with your day.

Good for them, Asia is getting their rocket programs in order while the U.S. tries their best to destroy ours. Man i wish I could move.

Since when is Honda a rocket company? This is literally the first im hearing about this. They kept this quiet for a while, and im not sure why.

It’s a book, a collection of stories written second and third hand by a bunch of guys who lived thousands of years ago, and then rewritten by the catholic church, and many others to suit their needs. You’re not going to convince me that it was misinterpreted. I dont even know why we are having this conversation honestly. You can keep your faith, thats fine. I dont want, nor do I feel the need to share it.

No, its the spreading of the word. I grew up christian, my partner grew up Catholic. You’re not telling me anything I dont already know.

Well that’s good i guess. Most people dont view Christianity that way though. Most Christians think its their job to spread Christianity far and wide, and therein lies the problem.

Eventually a utopia society will just be filled with A.I. talking to other A.I. and training more A.I. to do A.I. things. No need for humans, those dont have any value.

Its not about protecting kids, even if they say it is.

Its called paper money, every country has a currency they use to exchange goods and services.

BTC also uses massive amounts of resources, and we have an impending climate crisis on our hands. Tell me, how is that useful to further the climate destabilization for whatever momentary convenience you think you have. We’re gonna be really sorry in 5-10 years as this thing accelerates. We are getting some seriously bad news in the scientific community right now bcz we are far outpacing even the most pessimistic studies on warming and CO2 output. We have dumbasses in charge who want to pretend climate change doesn’t exist.

Dang it, sometimes I just type stuff and dont think about what I typed (the irony of what I was writing out)

Theres a saying in computer stuff that applies nicely here. PEBKAC, problem exists between keyboard and computer…turn signals have to be turned on, no amount of engineering can fix bad driving.

Our retirement plans didn’t used to be tied to the stock market. So clearly there’s a way to have retirement plans that don’t tie the entire middle class to the success of every large corporation.

Maybe, I still hope the go belly up. My 401k isn’t worth supporting companies that spread deliberate disinformation. (Looking at you facebook). Hell, when the stock market took a nosedive over tarrifs, I pulled my entire 401k and put it into foreign investments to try to further the crash. Literally the only thing these dipsticks understand is money, and if they’re losing it, thats when they pay attention.

Yeah, something about a company making billions of dollars off completely user generated content and moderation just runs me the wrong way. As much as I hate Facebook, they at least pay people to do moderation there, and regularly update their site (as shitty as it is). I dont use either anymore, and I hope they die in a pit of flames owing billions to their shareholders.
