I agree. I still think regular peiple would view that as “the government stealing their property” though. For example i know a few people who buy places and fix them up to rent out. Are you saying they should get their properties taken away?

If you’re only referring to billionaires and corporations buying housing, i agree. But if any laws were put into place, we know how it always goes, it would only affect those regular Joe’s renting properties, and theyd further hate the government for too much regulation. I see no way to possibly stop the rich from buying all housing.

Maybe this is a good place to ask this, as I always think about it. I am all in favor of abolishing this nightmare of late stage capitalism and coporate ownership of government. However, how do you explain that any other form wont take away from those of us who are (admittedly lucky) home/land owners, that actually are sitting fine ? Those people don’t want to give up what they have so someone in an apartment can have more. Think of it this way: you have an acre of land you worked for, it wasn’t given. Someone else has a 2 bedroom apartment they also worked for. For reason (either laziness, or unfortunately events) the apartment owner can’t save enough for a house/land. Maybe their mental capability is maxed out (be honest, we know people like this) and they can’t get more schooling etc. Under a socialist system, it seems like anyone with their house/land would be forced to give it up and live in blocs of apartments, which no one I know actually wants. This is just one example. But it’s something that I feel like will always hold the US back from socialism, because those that currently have “the dream” don’t want it to be taken. Now, people living in shacks that vote for Musk because the immigrants will take their jerbs, those people are idiots. But I’m talking about people who work full time and are decently well off, probably have a decent amount in stocks etc. Those people don’t want corporations destroying us, but they also don’t want full socialism.

Agree, no one should be we are addicted to cheap goods and throwaway. We need to teach people to repair and learn and stop buying shit they don’t need on Amazon. But humans are total idiots. I’m lucky I won’t be around for the collapse

Right, magas have 0 empathy so that’s most of it. They don’t think their children would be the ones making shoes in a sweatshop. Not saying it’s right for it to happen in other countries either (i don’t buy nike, but yes I have tech that was probbaly made by foxconn and we know how nice they are to employees). If nike moved to the US their shoes would be $300 , and the workers would make at most $13, which is not even close to enough to live on now.

Actually heard this yesterday. The brainrot going around is that big companies like Nike will be forced to move mfg back to the US so America can make things again. We’ll, it’s not going to work like that… the corporations spent years gutting their American factories and sending them overseas because they don’t want to pay a living wage. But the non informed folk apparently want their children to work in factories for 2 cents an hour and be forced to give birth to more factory workers who will by that time be little more than serfs.

I still feel like this is everyone and not really ADHD. I’m willing to bet a large percentage of people have most of these symptoms. If everyone has it, then no one does…

And before anyone says I’m dismissing it, I’m not, I’m just saying it’s kind of like anxiety. Literally everyone in the world who has lived and will ever live has anxiety probably everyday. Are there varying degrees, of course.

I just wasn’t sure fedora based (bazzite) would be as easy to troubleshoot as mint (Debian based) since arguably debian/Ubuntu are the most popular distro.

Yep seems common among that age

Bazzite refused to boot for me…I stuck with mint as it’s always ran pretty good. Old amd fx 8 core and a Radeon rx580

I’ve been hard at trying to get games i like to work in mint. It takes a lit of time but it’s going ok. Like you said though kind of sucks for multi-player. I can’t even get diabolical multi-player to work (after I looked up how to fix the instant crashing audio driver issue) . It’s also a lot of qork getting any racing game to work with my DFGT…even though linux does see the axis and buttons, the force feedback is all messed up. Wish I knew how to code so I could fix these issues! But I don’t have 12 hours a day to ever learn that

Yet my libertarian centrist friend INSISTS that AI is great for humanity. I keep telling him the billionaires don’t give a fuck about you and he keeps licking boots. How many others are like this??

Right, and subaru stupidly quit making the wrx wagon in 2014, no idea why. There’s also the appeal of early 2000s gm, dirt cheap and easy to fix. Like an 03 Tahoe. Just not good on gas. You can find some of those in an I5 though which is cool.

That’s true. If you are only working to enrich your boss by shipping. 02% more packages per day, it’s degrading. However we all have to work to live, I believe in working hard no matter the job, and if the job sucks, become irreplaceable, then find something better.

I keep saying this. As if humans aren’t dumb enough and lazy as hell without AI… I’ve met maybe 1 younger person out of hundreds that actually shows interest in learning and work ethic (the good kind, not boomerism). I’m not even old, but it’s looking like a dark road for humans. Now Fuck You, this is Carl’s Jr!

In complete agreement. I hate crossovers so much.

Have you looked at this wagons or Volvo wagons ? Or just a good old tacoma or tundra long box ?

This is why I go the extra mile to keep iot out of my life. Especially in cars , which is getting hard, but I figure my future cars I’ll likely retrofit something old. Newest I’ll tolerate is 2014, with no touchscreen.
