The mod, K1nsey6, banned me for "Not being a socialist", lol. (Which wasn't a rule.)

Now it says "multiple rule breaks"?

I thought Iwas having a legitimate conversation on what they were describing as the difference between communism and socialism. (It was a thread with Cowbee, so how legitimate could it have been?)

I was actually curious because they constantly use the argument of people using the wrong definition, or using terms incorrectly and I to be clear in my statements.

I probably really got banned because I called out the tired tankie strategy. That maybe if they weren't so toxic to people that they might have more than an echo chamber.

That is some amazing de-escalation tactics there!

So proud of those boys in blue.

I bet they jerked off to each other, talking about how brave they were.

"that while datacentres brought a limited number of jobs, potentially boosting the local econom"

Uh, no they fucking don't.

There will initially be a massive influx of construction workers that will overwhelm the local economy, drive up housing prices, then leave a gaping hole when they leave.

Even a massive data center would bring, MAYBE 100 jobs, and most of those won't be hired locally. Maybe some janitors or security.

Small communities are statistically worse off, hosting data centers, at least ones built by Google. They are one of the fucking worst. They run fast and loose, lie to elected and land owners alike, and just don't give a shit. They really think that people should be happy and proud that Google has chosen to put a data center there.

These large companies are run by sociopaths who manage via spreadsheets. They only look at profit margins for their decisions.

A Google site in Texas just arbitrarily closed down a county road that passes through part of the construction site.

Didn't get a permit, didn't notify police or fire of the road closure, AND DIDN'T EVEN FUCKING TALK TO A SINGLE ELECTED.

They are fucking psychopaths.

It just looks like a square knot to me. What is the difference?

Edit. I took the 30 seconds to look it up.

Square knot is a reef knot.

I always knew it as:

"Right over left and under, then left over right and under." 🤷

He's donating so he can write off overvalued stock at their inflated price.

The perfect vehicle for that scam and it was made possible by Trump and made with that guise that it is "for the kids".

Fuck all of these people.

It doesn't bother me at all, if someone asks for a seat, for any reason.

But it should also be understood that they have a right to say no, and you have no right to bitch about it.

Nothing wrong with communists. I feel so radicalized by capitalism I'm almost there anyway.

It's the Russian/China apologists that are annoying.

Russia is bad, Chia.na is bad, and the U.S. is bad. All those things can be true. But all the insufferable posts about how great China and Russia are, and all the bad things you have heard about them m are just Western propaganda...

If they were serious about their ideology, then why do they care so much about someone thinks about China or Russia.

If they didn't brigade those issues so much, straight up ban people, just because they disagree, or hlrefuse to have any real discussion that doesn't center on just shutting other people down, then maybe people outside their group might take them more seriously.

How does that piece of shit cop sleep at night?

There was a brief moment, while I was going through SERE training, in the Navy; it was before we were "captured" but long enough that I hadn't eaten in a while. We were in the low mountains of SoCal, dry and hot. Whenever we would stop movement for a moment and take a seat, I could smell when an ant was on me.

I didn't recognize what the smell was at first until I saw an ant, after smelling it. I hooked him on my finger and brought him close to my nose and it was clear, he was the source.

I couldn't describe it very well though, not a common smell to me. Never experienced it since.

Maybe it was the combination of no food or bathing, and heightened stress. My SiL also went through SERE, says she has no idea what I was talking about, and just makes fun of me about it. But she's also the type of person who would lie about it, just to fuck with me.

So who knows.

Only people from Chicago give a shit about what other people put on their hot dogs.

New Yorkers don't give a shit.

I did not give a shit about NSFW games but I fucking hate cebsorship.

Go GoG, I'm going to buy one from them now!

... for the protest of course.

Hot take:

China has lost all faith in Russia. Is reorganizing to reflect that.

And maybe is even considering Taiwan's advice, lol.

Taiwan made a sarcastic comment.

Essentially calling out their policy of "Territorial Integrity", they told them to take back land they gave to Russia

When that major drama unfolded with him getting booted then re-hired. It was super fucking obvious that it was all about the money, the data, and the salesmanship He is nothing but a fucking tech-bro. Part Theranos, part Musk, part SBF, part (whatever that pharma asshat was), and all fucking douchebag.

AI is fucking snake oil and an excuse to scrape every bit of data like it's collecting every skin cell dropping off of you.

We will absolutely have automation but the workers will just be fired and all profits will be absorbed by the stockholder.

No cost savings will be passed on the other consumer either.

Article says Jill pulls $85k. So the rest is probably investments, which is pretty damn modest, considering their age.

My company has one every year. Heck, it is even just our regional department, so each department has its own.

It was 80's themed this year. They had live music and even a Back to the Future mocked up Delorian outside of the venue. A couple of free drink tickets, free buffet style food all around, a bunch of 80's arcade machines, and a pretty awesome raffle.

The company is also employee owned and not beholden to stockholder parasites.

It's amazing what a company can do when your profits aren't maximized and sucked out.

Wall Street should be burned to the ground and billionaires crucified over its ashes.

It looks like she is initially just trying to grab the glass.

He escalates it unecceserily at every fucking point.

Dude has anger issues and is a danger to those around him.

The guy the arrested was fat too, but clearly he actually fucking worked in his life.

He was able to resist those pieces of shit until they gave up.

No one attacked them and just heckled the shit out of them. Couldn't subdue one man between the two of them, then ran away when the realized the world still thinks they are pieces of shit.

They looked like some sort of local chapter militiamen dipshits. Fucking meal team 6, wannabe warriors that probably even get turned down by their own hands.

Fuck Excel and Microsoft for tying auto save to OneDrive.
