No, the thing in Marx's manifersto is called "Marxism". Communism is a much wider term, and is *very* appropriately used as an accusation. Because yes, "true communism has never been tried", but we've had hundreds of attempts to build it, they ALL ended up in catastrophe, and we still have morons running around trying to make a yet another attempt, whitewashing it as "socialism".

No, that's not communism, that's a "post scarcity economy". You do know that the entire Star Trek economy is premised on the existence of Universal Replicator, i.e. a literal device that can make any shit you want out of nothing? So yes, once you do invent that, feel free to build your utopia. And not one second earlier, because THAT's when you get communism. And out of hundreds historical attempts to build it, not one, NOT A SINGLE FUCKING ONE didn't end in widespread misery poverty and mass murder.

I'm not sure "slop" is an appropriate term for this, when you desperately need warning tags to decide you don't like it, and can't without them.

Gotta love the leftist hypocrisy at play here. If a brown person jumps the wall and steals some redneck's job, you're all "no human is illegal, bring down the wall, refugees welcome etc etc etc". But! When a different-shade-of-brown person lands in LA with H1B visa in hand and heads for Silicon Valley to steal a leftist hipster's job then that is absolutely scandalous and he must be booted immediately. For his own good of course!

You'll of course dress it up in words differently, "we're fighting for minimum wage of $0.5M for H1Bs", as if making such a law and removing those H1B's ability to compete on price with American worker isn't going to result exactly in them all being booted.

But I guess Trump shouldn't have said he's deporting illegals, he should have said "we're only deporting people who can't land a $0.5M job". Would result in exactly same thing happening, but this law you'd support I guess?

LOL, Trump caring about "Waaaah Ewwoupe is gwonna cwwwwy" :DDDDDDD

Best joke I've heard in quite a while.

Saved a life? Questionable, most amber alerts are in context of custody disputes, so more likely just "saved" some kid from spending bit of time with its father, against some Karen's wishes.

But anyway, I'll be charitable and give you that one. OK, that's score one for you. TFS just lists score 27 against you. Thoughts?

I see your TDS is going strong. If you actually read TFS you'd know the problem wasn't "TEH GUBBERMINT (reverent bow) failed to predict flooding cus Trump cuts and DOGE and stuffs", it was FEMA fucktards having long cultivated alert fatigue in people by overuse of amber alerts, and reaping its inevitable consequences.

Or maybe YOU should move to someplace with a fascist HOA, and let other people live the way they do. I have a feeling you'd fit right in, you could possibly even out-Karen their own local Karen!

"it's totally credible that a butchery that uses knives for everything doesn't also use them for killing people". Ummmm, yes? It's called ethics you know. Either you're unwilling to fake research and using AI for editing in no way forces you to do so, or you *are* willing to do it, and AI also changes nothing, people have been faking research long before AI was a thing.

Only 6? You should be on your 17th booster already, you antivaxxer MAGAtard!!! You're putting us ALL in danger! I bet you're not triple-masking either! Herd immunity! Waaaah!

Europeans "follow rules" they themselves make, so it's not particularly impressive. And in this case, the rule is "If you're an American industry, fuck you. Why? Because fuck you, that's why.".

Oh well. They're going to get smacked down hard for trade barriers masquerading as "following rules", such as this one. July 9th is 4 only days away.

Yes, this is what "kneejerk" looks like. Maybe you shouldn't have been pushing stuff like puberty blockers without parental consent (or knowledge), ICEV bans or other radical policies. As it is? Oh well, enjoy.

No, it's called "functionally infinite budget". The Apollo project cost 257 bilion $ in today's money (no, that's not a misplaced comma, that's a literal quarter of a trillion dollars). Starship is estimated at about 5 billion so far, so that's... 1/50th? At current rate they can still blow up almost 500 boosters more, and still be cheaper than Apollo. So, when they do that and still don't deliver, THEN you get back to me and we can talk about the "failure of commercial spaceflight". Not before.

No, you were talking about trade barriers. Those include tariffs, but those also include "taxes" which are written specifically so only foreign industries will pay them. And guess what, overregulation too. If a soda maker from EU can export their soda to US just like that, but US maker of soda has to first invest millions into production line for EU-legal bottle caps, that is a trade barrier too. And guess what, in this game of iterated prisoner's dilemma that is trade policy, US is done playing the "cooperate no matter what, and let everyone butrape me" strategy.

Repeat after me: "copyright violation is not theft". Also, copyright is not a natural right, it is a privilege granted by the society to content creators, for the benefit of the society (YES, the society, not for the benefit of content creators!), and which may be revoked if we deem it beneficial. Or constrained to explicitly allow AI training, even if you do buy the sketchy argument that it does not do so already (under "fair use"). And guess what, the job of "content creators" deserves exactly ZERO more protection from AI than weavers of old from this scary new technology known as "loom" - or smiths from machine fabrication.

Go find some other way to make yourself useful to the society.
