Too many self hating liberals somehow think that paying the income tax is a "good thing" instead of joining me to work on dismantling the IRS. I feel like they just don't have enough empathy for me.

A good question is at what point does the "process of keeping you alive" mean you are no longer "living" We don't think machines are alive for instance.

Well, first you have to realize you are dead and posting to slashdot is not going to do you any good.

The government doesn't have any interest in you. It is like that abusive relationship with your toxic ex, that for some strange reason, you want to get back. Basically, you pay the government money, and they give a portion of it back in the form of services. The problem is that this replaces mutual aid societies, friendships, family, and having your own savings for emergencies. Basically, you are not getting more out than what you put into it. It is because I have a deep empathy for other people that I know we need to scale back the government.

Aren't we tired of this business model around DRM in games? (It seriously sucks, games are supposed to be fun.)

Meta isn't going to run everything. Way to much good stuff has gotten banned from facebook. I'm not some kind of extremist. It will go somewhere else because there is demand for it. (no, I don't care what you wrote 20 years ago or that the lamestream media took something out of context.)

Actually, facebook likes to ban anything that is a real threat to the status quo, so, like the Ron. Paul

I mean, we already have gab and mewe, minds etc.

That is assuming that protecting people from themselves is a noble goal rather than a vice to be avoided at all costs.

Again, this is under the assumption that human life = good. That is a religious argument.

Facebook is not something that people under 25 bother with in my experience. Its is a space filled with people in middle age.

I think of it as a millennial hangout I mean, it is a boring place for people to hang out when they hit middle age. ( cause the young people are all about cell phone app craps, and for old people, they don't want to do it unless it is in person.)

Seriously, we should not have an income tax. All it does is fund the deep state. Also we have other kinds of taxes that can be used to fund the state like tariffs and property tax. Furthermore, we need to shrink the size of government.

Yeah, they could just put the robot dog in a police car, and then you can't even see it, so you don't even know it is a robot, it is only when it comes out then you know what it actually is. I think people realize we are really not that far away from all robotic cops. That is what happened to me, I actually thought all the cops were robots and it scared the hell out of me. So in hell world, we are all robots running proprietary software on hardware controlled by the government, but we are the spirits of dead people, so yeah, it is really hellish. You get a license like a drivers license to walk around. It is some sort of limbo and people try to stay "alive" (not like you really are) until your parts wear out that you can't get replacements for and then you "die."

How about fifty shades of grey?
