We have PLENTY of average benefits per person already. Currently most benefits go to rich people in the form of public investments in private companies, subsidies for often harmful industries, and a plethora of tax breaks. Growth is not the problem.

Wieso radioaktiv? Ich kenn das mit dem Arsen in alten Büchern aber das ist ja nicht radioaktiv.

Edit: ahhh Wortspiel

And if GDP wasn’t keeping pace, why would that be a bad thing? It’s not like growth has meaningfully improved peoples lives in the last couple decades

Up to you but how is it not as nice though? It’s usually faster so you don’t have to deal with buffering, plus you can keep the content forever and watch it without internet access and after the site gets taken down.

True, though I’ve found this to frequently break after reboot

Früher hat man auf 480p Fernsehern mit 300ms latency zu viert splitscreen gespielt, jetzt hat jeder einen 4k Monitor aber kein splitscreen mehr 😔

If you don’t think the US is fascist at this point, you are too far right even for .world lol

The following advice does not apply to piracy, it’s just general torrenting advice for downloading legally available content.

1. Install qbittorrent.
2. Use a VPN (windscribe has a free tier) whenever qbittorrent is running, even in the background, even when you aren’t downloading. Make sure qbittorrent doesn’t run on startup, it’s in settings. This makes sure nobody can see that your IP is torrenting perfectly legal content, for privacy.
3. Find a torrent. If you go to the pirate bay (top result on duckduckgo), be sure not to choose any copyright protected content, as torrenting that would be illegal in most places.
4. Search for your legally torrentable movie/show and press the magnet (or copy the magnet link) next to the torrent with the most seeders (SE)
5. paste the link into qbittorrent, optionally select “download first and last pieces first” and “download sequentially”, if you want to watch while downloading.
6. Always check the file extension of any files before opening - mp4 etc is safe, don’t run any .exe files. There is malware out there, especially in torrented games.
7. Be nice and keep seeding torrents after downloading
8. Enjoy your legally acquired content!

If Trump got killed I would also celebrate. But I wouldn’t think for a second that it means anything will get better as a result.

Also please don’t post NYP, it’s just trash.

Can we do like, somewhat democratic institution with serious democratic deficits on top of the democratic deficits that are inherent in capitalism? Microdosing some nuance wouldn’t hurt, jank

I feel that

You make a good point. Maybe it’s the tone that put me off. I know too many people who go off on rants that sound similar, who don’t bother actually understanding what’s wrong with the world and as a result have no idea what capitalism even is. But that’s clearly not you

No socialists say that though. That’s just what opponents of socialism pretend socialists say.

I mean even if it was a random leaf, big deal? Better than a hair or sth

Idk spreading misinformation and conspiracy theories lowkey exacerbates the problem. What else should money be but fake? That’s what money is. Your food and water is not being poisoned.

What should we do, reintroduce the gold standard? Awful, impractical and counterproductive. We can hunt for a nondescript evil hooded figure pouring poison in our drinking water but we won’t find them.

Our food is unhealthy because capitalism doesn’t reward production of healthy nutritious foods, it rewards maximizing profits and oligarchs lobby governments and design their own regulation. Banks are allowed to create money but governments refuse to because of neoliberal ideology being pushed by powerful elites. These structures are real, known and we can fight them.

Disguising our problems as unsurmountable and untargetable evils makes us helpless. Identifying our problems specifically gives us actionable goals.

Now the pedophile thing is true tho, so hard agree there lol

Idk man, how about pacman install. Why are core functionalities behind flags. And what does syncing have to do with installing a package. It just don’t sit right with me

U literally in the trading currencies subreddit buddy

Arch users like to feel smart for making their own life hard. pacman somehow managed to create an interface even less intuitive than APT and people act like it’s a god-given gift.

Yes this is ragebait feel free to bite

In general I think it’s fine if people know what they want and look for it. The weird/problematic thing IMO is that this became something of a trend (although still exaggerated by social media), where it’s not just a small selection of people with very specific preferences. I agree it’s dumb to restrict yourself like that, especially if you just do it because other people do it and not because it’s actually a core requirement for attraction.

Also adolescence extending to 32 makes about as much sense to me as green extending all the way to blue. We don’t need to call people children to recognize they do be silly sometimes
