Really, you think I was telling people to act that way?

Thank you for illustrating action 3: Tell them their complaints are proof they're evil

>Treat young men like garbage
-They complain about it
>Tell them their complaints are proof they're evil
-they leave your social sphere
>push for biased laws and hiring practices
>tell all the young girls how evil men are
>celebrate when men start to falter
-they start to group together who notice the problem
>call it radicalization
>sic the FBI on them
Hey, why are all the young men getting angry, listless, and broke? Why don't they just man up? What's wrong with them? Why are birth rates falling? Why don't men want to date anymore? Why aren't they working hard like they used to? Where have all the good men gone?

Most games run substantially slower for the same hardware. I can't run modded Fallout, modded Skyrim, modded several other games. Starfield on Nvidia is out. And for most games you see reports of "minor issues" or "tweaks" that can amount to game-breaking bugs. That's before you get to driver problems. And I'm not giving steam another penny since they let someone steal money from my steam account through the achievement market.

Windows 11 is malware. Not supporting the old version is fine. Pushing that hot garbage is evil. I, too will be running Linux. It will be sad to no longer get to play my games (no, steam and wine are not reasonable substitutes despite what you've heard) but I stopped Windows 10 halfway through their deployment cycle when they pushed the first unavoidable spyware, and I'm sticking to it.

And the problem as I see it is, the ridiculous price of a rail ticket and the sheer inconvenience of rail travel. I can put petrol in my 35 years old Civic and drive to wherever I want to, possibly with a passenger, at a fraction of the price of a rail ticket. Then, instead of being dropped in the middle of some city and having to get a cab or bus or hire car to complete the journey I can just continue in my car. If I need them my car can easily carry along for me a tent, sleeping bag, stove, cooking fuel, fishing tackle, outdoor clothing and if I need to take more stuff I can just hook up my trailer.

I live near the M4 in England so, just a few hours drive and I'm on the Lizard Peninsula in Cornwall or the Lake District. A day driving and I can be in the Scottish highlands. Two days driving gets me to Slovenia. Yes, I've done that too. Yes we sometimes have traffic jams and road works but it's generally pretty hassle and stress free and my car leaves from five paces away from my front door. The train station is more like five miles away.

If you live in a city and just want to travel to another city, well fine, a train can do that so long as you can pay the price.

Always assuming that the damned train drivers are not on strike again when they already get paid a similar salary to most surgeons with probably 1% of the training time and no student loan to spend decades paying off.

That is why travellers prefer to use their own private transport.

You'll certainly earn more money if you got an MBA from a big name school, but that's not the value of the degree or education, it's a reflection of the schmoozing you managed to perform while you were there. Two or three big money allies takes you a lot closer to success.

No, what we need are less dire consequences but way, way more people receiving them. Severe punishment does not deter crime. Effective policing does. These government criminals will only stop when the actual corruption decreases.

"elevated levels" is FUD. Wheres the evidence there are harmful levels?

Yeah, If we and they were actually outsourcing almost exclusively to second and third world economies it wouldn't be a problem at all. /s

Wagie, wagie, get in cagie,
Put on the specs, obey the pagie.
Glowing screens before your eyes,
Voices whisper hums and lies.

Parcels beep their numbered fate,
The pace is timed, your path ornate.
The chains are soft, the leash is sleek,
A velvet yoke upon the meek.

Ten thousand doors, ten thousand gates,
But none are yours; you shift the weights.
The lenses gleam, the data streams,
Efficiency devours dreams.

Yet somewhere past that tinted glass,
A question flickers, sharp as brass:
If power shrinks to fit a lens,
Who truly drives, where will it end?

Cash is essential to liberty. When ALL dollars can be tracked (and the war on cash is getting us there) any individual or group can be selectively removed from the economy, punished individually with inescapable fines, soft punished through social credit schemes and otherwise abused. Which is exactly what the notorious They want. I'm not joking even a little bit. As evading money tracking is punished over and over by money laundering laws, which don't punish any other crime, we approach the day the tree of liberty needs to be watered.

If a little green man walked up to Curiosity and drew a dick on its chassis, they would see it not as proof of extraterrestrial intelligence so much as an anomaly to be photographed, cataloged, and subjected to endless peer review. Teams of engineers would spend months verifying that it was not dust, damage, or a prank. Entire conferences would be held to debate whether the âoegreen manâ was in fact a glitch in the roverâ(TM)s sensors, a reflection artifact, or some other failure of interpretation. Only after exhaustive testing, replication of findings, and careful wording of press releases would they dare to acknowledge even the possibility of alien life. Their fear of being wrong would delay even the most obvious revelation.

No, it's a distraction from their malice. Let me count just a few of the ways.

insider trading
voting themselves pay raises
patriot acts infidum.
slipping evil things into omnibus bills.
taking bribes.
legalizing the taking of bribes.
supporting the shadow government.
lying to constituents.
taking convenient breaks and vacations -- lots of them.
