Oh... Oh no...

The idea of being sex repulsed is so foreign to me. I've been hypersexual as far back as I remember.

But I try not to hold it against people until they start trying to push their hangups onto me.

I cant see the post for whatever reason but yea, some libertarians do.

Universal Healthcare is not explicitly a socialist idea.

I mean technically a scalie but still under the furry umbrella

Looks like it hasn't been active for a while.

Thanks. If nobody else does i probably will once my account is old enough.

Assuming I haven't forgotten about it lol

I know. I had a reactive dog. Found him as a stray in terrible condition.

He made it to 16 but he never fully lost that reactivity. I used to get all kinds of judgement from people saying things like you said.

I find these sorts of rules tend not to be uniformly enforced.

A little salt in your pepper makes you look distinguished.

Ancom and Ancap both agree that the means of production goes to whomever is organized enough to control it.

30 point gap? Is that some kind of "stupid libertarian" joke?

Thats the kind of shit I'm used to from "progressives".

I want to be understood and seen as a person but I'm really questioning whether its worth trying anymore.

Ive had this conversation enough times I know how it goes.

I'll point out how Obama and Biden both expanded executive power, setting precedent for Trump to exploit.

You'll either flatly deny it or try to make me prove it then bad faith nitpick until I go away.

I'll point out how pressuring Facebook and using OSHA to push the covid vaccine was a massive federal overreach and You'll accuse me of being anti-science.

You might point out that Trump is just as bad like its a gotcha but I fucking hate him too so it doesn't work.

I'll complain about progressives being against freedom of speech and you'll smirk and say "What speech?" Because obviously the only reason someone would be concerned about the government dictating what you can and cant say is that they want to yell slurs at their neighbor.

Around this point you'll call me either racist, sexist or homophobic. Or maybe class traitor. Thats always a fun one.

Or you'll figure out I'm not straight and im only white when progressives don't like what I have to say and you'll decide im a race traitor too.

So yea I dont have a lot of patience with having this discussion anymore.

I'm not saying pitts can't be violent. I'm saying my bad dog experiences have all been other breeds.

And not every reactive dog is the owner's fault. The world is more complicated than that.

Literally never encountered a mean Pitt. Plenty of other breeds though.

Broadly he's not wrong. A lot of proposed regulations will strengthen incumbent companies, especially in the short term.

But I also still think AI is a bubble. Lobbying is the only thing keeping it afloat and it's yet to show concrete returns outside of the narrow areas that AI is actually good at.

I think the future of AI is still pattern recognition and discreet neural nets performing specific tasks. I think LLMs are a dead end.

THEY TOOK OUR RAINBOE ITS SUPPOSED TO BE FOR SKITTLES AND TWINK FOXES

Libertarian doesn't mean no taxes. There's a spectrum. I'd favor paying for Healthcare over paying for bullshit wars.

Mises Institute wears libertarian principles like Albert fish wore skin.

Its weird talking to non-libertarians about governance. I can't tell when you're being sarcastic and when your worldview really is that divorced from mine.

And yea, there are libertarian socialists, though they don't always claim us and we don't always claim them.

But consider that government is always a balance between allowing liberty and preventing anarchy. People do best when they have control over their own lives. That can't happen when you have a nanny state protecting them from their own choices, but it also can't happen when the biggest dick in the room can beat you down and take all your shit.

You brought up Biden and Trump.

I think you're just trying to fuck with people.

I used to believe that. I joined with progressives after Bush 2. All we've gotten is further into the pit and more of our rights stripped away, with the progressives cheering as long as their side does it, just like the goddamned magas
