I mean I'm still posting here aren't i?

Anyway did your account get hacked or something? What part of my post is championing oppressive bullshit?

Or you just call anything you don't like oppressive bullshit? How very libertarian of you. What's next, needing a license to make toast in your toaster?

This is a multi-billion dollar corporation with congressman on speed dial. This is basically setting up the justice department to go after the botnet directly. Google is just filing the paperwork to legitimize everything.

Trump is obviously senile. He doesn't understand anything except the hamburgers that get put in front of him periodically.

Our country is run by the heritage foundation not by Donald Trump.

Because it means the American empire, which is propped up by the dollar, will have gone down the drain completely and we will still have the ridiculous military and we will use it.

Failing empires will inevitably invade other countries and loot them in order to fill their coffers. And we have a growing Christian nationalist movement and things we are literally protected by God so the threat of nuclear annihilation isn't going to be a deterrent. Jesus will just swap those pesky icbms away.

What the hell are you talking about? If my net worth is $100 million and it drops by 90% I'm still filthy stinking rich and will never have to work again unless I blow through the money on extravagant spending.

And those numbers get a hell of a lot worse when you take into account billionaires.

This is before we talk about nepo babies and contacts and networking that you get to do when you're a member of the ruling class. The ruling elite have class solidarity while anyone that really works for a living does not. They take care of each other. We eat each other alive at the slightest provocation.

I will never understand people that defend the ruling class. It is just the most bizarre thing to me. I can empathize with most things understanding the underlining emotions even if I don't feel them myself but that's one that is completely alien to me.

And telling people they can unionize if they want is like telling Jews in Auschwitz they can go find another job. The people running the camp might have something to say about that...

Again I will never understand why people pretend we don't have a ruling class after they've been told and shown that we do. I get the people who never encounter that information, it's not exactly talked about, but I don't get the people that have the information and just pretend it isn't there.

Just a reminder that the steam machine won in the end.

I'm assuming it's cope. We all know the AI apocalypse is coming for our jobs and our livelihoods and in turn all of our property as we mortgage it off to survive but well, nobody has a solution that anyone is willing to accept. The idea of giving people food and shelter without inflicting pain is just not something we as a species are capable of. At least not at the moment.

To address the specific points in this post the reason CGI took over is because it's cheaper, and the reason it's cheaper is that the CGI guys don't have a good union or frankly any Union at all. Hollywood went all in on CGI not because it was the right thing to do but because it broke the special effects unions.

The thing is there were still plenty of jobs they just paid less. What's happening with AI is that they're just isn't any jobs.

We are going to be left with two classes of people, people who need to work and people who don't need the work because there is absolutely nothing useful they can do for society. Like it or not not everybody can be a plumber.

I'm sure they won't be any problems though with tens of millions of people who are permanently unemployable. Certainly that didn't happen shortly before world war I and I I.

The important thing is that we never actually learn anything from history. And that we continue to function like crabs in a bucket while billionaires going on trillionaires occasionally reach into the bucket to devour one of us.

Who knows maybe you won't be one of the crabs that gets devoured. But man they're getting hungry. I mean a trillion dollars of crab meat is a lot.

My stars and garters! Fetch me my fainting goats!

Every now and then nerds will realize that their computer is kind of suck because we don't enforce antitrust law but we always go back to sleep.

You don't trim executive salaries because they are members of the ruling class.

You are taught during a critical time in your learning process that America does not have a ruling class. This is a lie but because it's taught you during the 4 to 14 window it's basically impossible to get it out of most people's brains.

If you do manage to get the idea out of your brain then the whole world makes so much more sense.

Democracies are better at everything. Dictatorships always just turn into corruption.

The Chinese dictatorship has survived because it became the world's factory. And because it had a huge surplus rural population it could churn through. None of that is sustainable and the cracks are showing and they are working on moving to a wartime economy similar to how America did in order to maintain their economy without actually implementing socialism.

Empires never last because corruption sets in and they immediately turn to war and then the war eventually kills a hell of a lot of people and breaks the empire down.

It'll take a long time relative to a human life. And techno feudalism kind of changes everything of course.

There is an astounding level of ignorance in your posts.

But let's start with this: hydrogen is dispensed and kept as a gas, not a liquid. That means that pressure is important. The dispenser must ensure that there is sufficient pressure in the car's tanks in order to fill it.

Have you heard of Boyle's law?

Your facepalm applies to yourself and your aggressive commitment to remain ignorant, since all of my points could be easily searched for and confirmed.

Even if you don't account for the externalized costs of fossil fuels wind and solar are cheaper so long as you've got land and India has that.

The only reason to keep using fossil fuels is the prop up fossil fuel companies and fossil fuel dependent countries like Saudi Arabia.

We all know that but those companies spend a lot of money buying our elections. Mostly with propaganda to trick us into voting for people who are currently crashing our economy and getting ready to lay us all off

And answer your questions from the standpoint of scholars. Keep in mind this is not my research this is research that has been done by biblical scholars. The ones that work at universities not apologists and scam artists but people who can actually read Hebrew.

The ancients had a completely different concept of sex than we do. Sex was an act of domination it was never an act between two consenting adults. Adults didn't consent. Sex was something you did to somebody not something you did with somebody.

It says both of them are considered abomination because the belief was that when the hierarchical order of nature, which was a dominant man penetrating a submissive woman (keeping in mind that the woman wasn't just submissive she was a lesser type of being) that doing anything other than that would actually poison the land.

So they really did believe that gay sex caused hurricanes and crop failures. At least the priesthood did, who the hell knows what the rank and file thought because they couldn't read or write.

This is a completely different framework for sex and sexual relationships than what we have today. The idea of two consensual adults mutually choosing to have sex as a means of either pleasure or an expression of love was completely out the window for them. It wasn't even transactional, it was about domination.

This is why in the story of Sodom and Gomorrah they wanted to rape the angels. It wasn't about raping the Angels it was about dominating the angels and showing them who was boss

Incidentally the sin of Sodom wasn't gay sex, it was in hospitality and having an abundance of bread that you didn't share with the poor. Seriously look it up.

Just about everything in the Bible you get told by a preacher is a lie so that they can get money and power from you.

So even back then they knew that was pedophilia they just didn't care. Powerful men could basically do whatever the hell they wanted. And they didn't even have to be all that powerful. These days to get away with pedophilia you have to be at about Trump's level. It's more just a question of scale and the fact that even today a lot of people don't consider women to be full persons. And children are considered property by a lot of people.

But they knew it was wrong. They just didn't care.

Fun fact: no one cares about your "I don't know" posts.
