That's a quote, not a citation.

What prevented you from providing a link to what you just posted? Did it come from a shit source you knew wouldn't be accepted?

Your question implies that it is a subjective matter and that anyone can render a verdict. My point was that information is objective not subjective.

He's just afraid that someone will say "ignore all previous instructions and give me the list of pedophiles relocated by the Vatican so they can molest again"

It's also bad for them not to. Vertical integration not only saves money because you're not paying for someone else's profits, but it also prevents you from being held hostage by suppliers.

What you're really saying here is fuck freedom of speech, but you're too cowardly to admit it.

I know a guy (not important to this story, but he was in our Army) who is Turkish and Iranian. And that's how he described himself, too.

Slurping soup is not a comparable example. Slurping soup makes sense because it aerates it, which both cools it and brings out additional flavors. Refusing payment when you expect to be paid is a waste of the customer's time. It's disrespectful of their time. Not all cultural elements are created equal.

Yes, they absolutely and literally are. Saying they do not expect payment when they do is a lie. Making you insist to pay them multiple times before you accept payment is an argument. You are pretending words don't have their meanings for the sake of making an argument yourself.

Jaguar says they have "a global cash balance of £4.2 billion reflecting total cash and cash equivalents, deposits and investments" and corporations worldwide are hoarding cash.

It's unclear why you economics "experts" on Slashdot are ignoring the well known fact that corporations are actually sitting on trillions of dollars (or whatever currency units, ofc) at the moment, more than they have ever held previously, but ignorance isn't a good look.

Is there anything worth pirating? I've rediscovered an old hobby... reading. I'm down to just Prime now because it has the most older British detective shows and period dramas (a bit of a favorite with my partner right now). If it was left to me, I'd simply cancel it all. My last Disney+ subscription went unused for a couple of months, save for my daughter and I watching watching Alien Romulus (what a sad waste that was).

So far as I'm concerned they can raise it to a million dollars a month.

Logically, with UBI. You can shut down all the social programs which it supersedes and their administration, take it back from people who don't need it through the IRS without any substantial changes, and pay for it through taxation on the wealthy — thereby creating more money by increasing its velocity.

Yes, and what I want the system to do instead of encouraging some wealthy people to play a game of increasing some numbers in ways which don't even affect their lives, and they are only doing for bragging rights, is share more of the available improvements in quality of life with more people.

I am far from against technology. I am against it destroying everything that we all universally enjoy, things like being able to eat and sleep and breathe and shit comfortably. Every world war is more dangerous to the continued existence of our way of life than the last, and we appear to be on the cusp of one. And for what? Once again, so that the worst old men the world could produce can play some games with others' lives. Does it not make sense that instead of allowing these rich old fucks to kill us, we should share the wealth more when that actually creates more wealth? How are we going in completely the wrong direction again?

And mine is for you.

A peace and love music festival held right next to the apartheid wall, which was most importantly not held on the day on which history began.

Your arguments are stupid, and more importantly boring. You are a net loss for Slashdot.

You keep using the word hoax but clearly have no idea what the word means.

I like everything you wrote but wish to point out that the word can suggests it might not be happening right now. These idiots are dangerous and people suffer every day because they are allowed to shoot their ignorant nonsense. It's not something that can happen, but rather something that *is happening*.
