OK, so if you disagree with 99.9% of what I write, tell me do you agree or disagree with this thesis I wrote a year ago about Islam being at war with the rest of Civilization:
https://slashdot.org/journal/3...

this position on the government being 'necessary' evil that needs to be controlled because left to its own devices it causes millions of deaths by war and other means:

this position that government promoting consumption rather than production with 0% interest rate policies, getting off gold standard, laws and taxes leads to economic destruction, that there are no savings anymore
https://slashdot.org/comments....

position that government selecting losers and winners by choosing businesses to fund ends up creating inefficient monopolies (space x comes to mind, but this comment is from 2010)

position that USA is printing the dollar into oblivion, gold is real money and should be used as standard to prevent countries from inflating the money supply, that USA bonds are junk, of-course this was 2013 when USA's debt was around 16Trillion, today it is over 38Trillion, things have gotten worse by a factor greater than 2, the world is getting off the USD standard, using other currencies more, bond yields have at least doubled due to the falling bond price:

You can say whatever you like about my intelligence but if you disagree with 99.9% of my comments you are quite a bit off.

well clearly many of your positions are incorrect if you disagree with me 99.9% of the time as you said, that is because it is impossible statistically for me to be incorrect 99.9% of the time, I couldn't achieve that result if I put all my effort into it.

disagreeing with me on anything does not invalidate my positions nor does it make you right in any way, I do not know why it was important for you to add that to your reply, it actually implies that many of your positions are incorrect and it does not increase the chances that my position on flock cameras is more or less valid. My positions pretty much always align with each other because they are all derived from the assertion that maximizing individual freedoms is the most important goal for human life.

I do not think anyone argues that these cameras are not useful to find someone, whatever the reason. Maximum security prisons are also very effective for this purpose. Do you want to live as if you are in one?

It is somewhat of an insulting example, although I see the practicality. There used to be a major organ in the human body that was better utilised. Thinking is replaced with artificial thinking.

I voted against Biden in the Primary. But as POTUS he surrounded himself with competent people AND LISTENED TO THEM.

Yes he and they made sime bad choices (Afghanistan withdrawal, tepid Ukraine support) but not strategic damage and coupled with some very good decisions (block China access to GPUs, energy policy)

If Dems sweep the Midterms this has a high chance of happening.

REMEMBER: ELECTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES

You know, you weren't suppose to drink the entire vat of Kool-Aid, what will the other Maggots drink?

really? does USA have a dictator running the place for 25 years, regardless of the rules? Who even appoints State governors, maybe mayors even? Court judges who rubberstamp decisions sent down from him? An actual oppressive apparatus designed to jail anyone and torture and murder? A population poor enough that an offer of a couple of thousand dollars a month is enough for them to go die in a pointless war, where theft and rape and murder and torture is not only for the enemy but is a common tool to force the own military to go forward? There us more, I can do this all day.

"some students are lowering their standards and joining companies they wouldn't have considered before."
yeah, I also remember this moment when I graduated 30+ years ago. I came out of college with a list in my head of about three famous companies that I wanted to work for. Thing is, 99.99% of people don't work for those companies. Leaving college is a hard reality check for sure.

Of course, I didn't work in software - since we're talking about Stanford grads and software engineering, there has been a 25 year-long bubble in the Bay Area where probably most of them stepped direct from Stanford to one of the tech giants.

This world is upside down, where getting plentyful cheap stuff is considered to be a problem, where tariffs will make something great again. It is like living among amoeba brained monkeys.

I guess we can start paying for AI by using your salary. After all, you goomers are the ones who want this, it is only fair we start by making you pay.

Whatever. His tariffs have thrown a lot of small American businesses out of business because they relied on stuff that is not made in the U.S. but is made by China. That's American jobs down the dumpster because that idiot never thinks further than his nose. People like you should stop buying his cheap bullshit.

We all know the counter argument. However, it will take a fair amount of time for American manufacturing to gear up. Except that won't happen because, these being small businesses, the market to them is not large enough to make American manufacturing fill the void. Let's suppose that pink unicorns do exist and American manufacturing gears up. Any new widgets will be made by widget robots.....now Powered by AI....in the word of a teenage girl, eewwwww!!! Not a lot of jobs there. And even then the new widgets small business needs will be more expensive.

In soccer, we'd call this an own goal. In the U.S., we call it stupidity.

You don't understand what their lives are, all of them are on the dole, the main value to them is ability to get something from the government for free, be it a public transit pass or government provided housing of some sort or government provided doctor appointment and especially they are worried about their government provided pensions. A government provided pension is more important than anything to them, including their dignity (which does not exist at all there, see any video with them standing on their knees, asking putin to give them as or housing or whatever).

They are descendants of feudal system that have never outgrown it, they are completely convinced that theirs is the best place in the world as well and that Ukraine attacked them somehow together with NATO and that the West wants to steal their land and destroy their values. They love it when putin talks about Sarmat or Burevestnik (Skyfall or more literally Storm Harbinger) nuclear missiles hitting London, Berlin or New York.

Every day on their TV sets they tune into Soloviev, Skabeeva etc. propagandists, who keep telling them that everyone wants to steal from them so they have to attack them first to kill them before the theft happens.

Most ruzzians are poor AF as most of them do not live and work in Moscow, where the wealth of the entire stupid place is concentrated in a few hands and all of the prostitutes who serve these hands.

They are sending their husbands, sons, fathers and brothers (and some women as well) to murder, rape and steal from Ukrainians on daily basis and should they somehow defeat Ukraine, the rest of Europe will be next on the menu.

Do not worry about the 'poor AF ruzzians', worry what will happen if these zombies get their way with you.

I don't care about America and if you are an American you should blame yourself, after all, he is your guy in power.

As to ruzzians, these are zombie cocroaches that allowed their dear leader to be in power for the last 25 years because they are all on the dole and their sense of national pride is above any level of human morality.
