Yes because release price=price people actually buy it at. Also show me a 5060 at $300. The release price used to be the price early adopters had to pay as a premium. Now it's a discounted price that you can never actually get.

Why am I arguing with you. You're seriously claiming Graphic card prices didn't increase. That should have been enough to make me block you and ignore your nonsense.

That price range was for the XX60 and on a good sale the XX70. The fact that $300 gets you an XX50 is a tragedy.

It's also cheaper for the public. We pay EXTRA taxes to make sure they suffer. The cost of cops, prisons, hospitals, etc... for each homeless person far exceeds what it would cost to house them.

We pay EXTRA to keep them on the streets.

It makes the potato have more calories because it has oil in it.

Same amount of chewing and swallowing. More calories. It's what you want!

That's not how shares work at all!

You can't turn them into the company at market value, you have to sell it to other people to cash out. The only time a company buys its shares is when they do a buyback, but that wouldn't be a debt on the balance sheet.

The shareholders are just the company owners.

By the fact that I have a death note.... This is a hypothetical scenario where the person who answers has a death note. That's the system. Did you read the thread? You said you wouldn't use the death note on billionaires and "non acute" threats because we already have systems to deal with it? But there is no actual system because billionaires don't get imprisoned or punished for their crimes including raping kids at Epstein's. Sounds really unethical for you not to. I guess you're one of the "I would never pull the lever" people in the trolley problem.

That doesn't address the fact that there are no functioning mechanisms to implement justice against those who harm us by hoarding pillaging and staking from us to amass incomprehensibly vast wealth.

Take away the concept of limited liability. Shareholders are responsible for the crimes the company they own commits.

This will create an insurance industry to protect shareholders and they would force companies to demonstrate compliance with regulations to keep premiums low.

If someone in the company committed fraud to deceive the owners then they can try to sue him. He can go to jail too if it's criminal.

Making it so owners are not responsible for the actions of the company that makes them money is why the system is broken.

Limited liability corporations were initially created for large public projects like bridges where the liability was too high to attract investors, but the public benefit was very large. Where is the public benefit now?

We do not. The billionaires pillage and kill with impunity. Cops and ice kill and pillage with impunity. You're living in a fantasy if you think our system deals with the other cases. Look at the Epstein list.

What kind of mathematically illiterate nonsense is that. You think to be in the global 1% takes MORE MONEY than being in the US 1%????

You understand that requires the global average wealth to be HIGHER than the US right?

Besides the top 1% of the 1% (billionaire class) are a lot more problematic than someone who makes 450k/yr.... That's just a good doctor in the west. Plus Forbes publishes a billionaire list.

Have them list their inheritors. Have them say their wealth is cursed and anyone who keeps even a cent will die.

Then write the names of everyone on the list for the next round unless they give up all their wealth.

I don't know what to tell you there. You're saying that people who think we should change the system from within get mad when you try to change the system from outside of it?

It feels like you're just describing being a leftist in a world of neo-fascists and neo-liberals.

I didn't say voting wins the libs over.... I said being a revolutionary leftist doesn't free you from voting. If you want to improve material conditions you have to fight with every tool you have. Voting is quick and easy and improves material conditions for minorities Neo-fascists want to oppress.

Libs are not going to be on our side in this. They're part of the oppressive system we want to dismantle. A part that's just as hard to overcome as the fascists.

Besides, making progress on a revolutionary front also forces libs to make concessions which only improve the outcomes of voting.

Fuck fascists and fuck the libs. We don't vote lib because they're good, we do it because it's an easy way to limit oppression against marginalised communities while we work on anticapitalist pursuits like community building, mutual aid, and other more assertive strategies as the opportunity arises.

Even in 2 you should vote. If your Revolution fails at least you've mitigated harm to your neighbours.

It's really

1. Vote because you believe in working within the system.
2. Vote because you fight against the system but are in solidarity with those most harmed by it.
3. Don't vote and hope things magically get better while you watch.

When you have option 2 as don't vote people tend to do option 3 while telling themselves they're doing option 2. Voting is praxis, non voters don't get option 2.

This thread is insane. Apparently skinny people can't jiggle because....I guess they're not allowed to have meat and organs and other squishy jiggly things?

Just sexy bones I guess!

I was honestly hopeful coming into this thread only to be confronted a wall of people basically arguing that cartoon bodies are an attainable beauty standard or something?

They're not our representatives. They never were. They're the representatives of the ruling class.

Each election there is a set of choices on the table, usually only bad ones. But one of them always included extra suffering for minorities. It's your duty in good solidarity with the minorities to vote against that.

If you want better choices you need to fight for a new table. That gets done every other day that isn't election day. 99% of your time spent on getting a new table, like the French. 1% of your time protecting the vulnerable through harm reduction.

Officers were responding to a shoplifting call alleging that Wiley’s mother, Vellesiya Wiley, and Latoya Ferrell had stolen a pack of diapers. The women exited the store with the child as officers arrived, entered their vehicle and began to leave the parking lot. Officers drew their weapons, and Vellesiya Wiley lifted her son up to show the officers that a child was in the car. One officer fired into the vehicle, killing the baby as she held him. A bullet also wounded Ferrell.

She lifted the baby to show the officers that a child was in the car. The officers shot the baby to acknowledge Israel's right to exist

The 600L, 10,000psi nitrogen tank that allows both the flying and speed versions achieve their goals are the equivalent energy of 65kg of TNT in a fragile carbon fiber tank just behind the drivers head.

If you through electric cars are dangerous to crash into, you ain't seen nothing yet.

It's not that they're not copyrightable. That court case is misunderstood. The vibe coder tried to give the AI the copyright and the judge ruled that was stupid because AI can't own shit.

Also copyright doesn't mean much anymore because companies are rewriting open source software as copyrightable vibe coded bullshit the same way people are "open sourcing" Adobe using vibe coded crap.

It's garbage "progress" all the way down.

Oh the list of organizations you're not involved in is nearly infinite. That's why I said "all theory, no praxis"

Well then fix it since you're so much more educated than everyone else. Wikipedia can be edited by anyone who has the sources to back the edit.

You're the epitome of this meme: all theory, no praxis
