It’s not about good or bad, it’s about efficiency. I get being skeptical about Americans currently being able to come up with a reliable system of sharing, but we desperately need to curtail consumption and durable shared goods is one way to get there. If I had the extra time afforded by reasonable production levels to go to collective repositories for a vacuum I wouldn’t mind that. It’s a drag right now because I alternate shifts with my partner to afford to live, but in a more reasonable society a little exercise and planning wouldn’t hurt me.
Westerners live an unsustainable lifestyle. Things will have to change to coexist with everyone on a planet we can sustain.
Yeah this reminds me of some of the Cushvlogs, Matt would sometimes go into how a lot of people on the left get driven to wild places because they can’t handle the idea that they might not be there to see history unfold.
To the curious: it was worse, it was not as good as Heinz or Hunt’s, and it didn’t fill the void of Dad being deployed to the illegal war (that he apparently really wanted to go to). Would not recommend.
Happy to be of service.
I remember my parents using special George W Bush ketchup when he ran against Kerry, I guess Kerry was married into the Heinz family or something.
Maybe we should start a maga spice company to get in on the grift.
La carroza, la carroza! Invertido! Carta de guerra, de venganza! La vi sin ruedas sobre un rio obscuro! Un maleficio! Carroza de muertos, llena de huesos!
Wasn’t the problem that Hindenburg could appoint any chancellor he wanted if he rejected the pick of the legislature? By the time this election happened he had been ruling by emergency decree for like 2 years. And he was a conservative, even an imaginary alliance of centrists with the SPD and KPD would not have been able to force his hand if he didn’t want to accept a nomination he didn’t like, and he didn’t like the socialists or the communists.
I don’t think China wants to be the enemy of the US. They are the largest trading partner of the US. They seem genuinely interested in cooperating and bettering their own society. USians seem to be the ones bent on enmity. The US apparently thinks building infrastructure and developing the economies of other nations is ‘malign influence.’ The US killed citizens of allied nations through propaganda to ensure they wouldn’t become friendlier with China, who was offering them vaccines while the US and Europe were hoarding their own.
The US sees ‘being a large country and having influence’ as threatening, there’s no way to peacefully coexist with a country that sees everyone else as a threat by default.
Well we could devote those resources to solving the problems they are criticizing maybe. It would improve the lives of USians and undercut the arguments being brought up.
Spending billions to tell other countries that more infrastructure is actually bad is probably counterproductive and wasteful. Like how we spent money to kill Filipino people by telling them to avoid the Chinese produced covid jab.
Right, he doesn’t expect to be listened to, he’s cynical about democrats in a way Katie isn’t.
Edit: I dunno maybe I’m totally off about him, it just feels like he’s being jaded about them, not trying to defend Kamala. Maybe I need to kill my Showdies.
Warmbo is such a great character. There are almost no caricatures of libs from a left position that embody what’s so irritating about them like he does.
I think Cody is generally better than most of the team and probably has more control over what comes out of his mouth for the videos. The more everyone else talks the more lib it seems to get.
I think he’s been friends with many of them (especially Katie) for a long time and tolerates their lib takes because they are friends.
It’s a smokescreen, we can’t credibly claim to have a stronger or healthier industrial base or social system, all we can do is pretend we’re ahead in imaginary tech arms races.
It was inevitable.
It’s beautiful.
Is it zoned as a public room?
Oh lol, I didn’t even look, I’m reading at work. But thanks!
I need to get the save so I can look at the Chthonic Cathedral! Regolith is a badass.
Yeah I had my post pre-drafted and was time locked on loading images at a certain point. I think it was like 10 minutes between new images when I did it. In the future I’ll write up my post and include images as I go to avoid that I guess.
