@mywitsendalso@NicholasABrown_@ChrisDJackson@JohnFetterman …and? Does it surprise you that military dominance is less manpower-intensive than it was 80 years ago?
If so, you probably shouldn’t be bringing up military capacity as a subject of debate.
@eigenrobot How about: “IQ is a real measurement, but [overused / of limited utility to begin with] to the point that “IQ isn’t real” is a more useful heuristic”
@Jube02@PippengerHarlo@yhdistyminen Someone said they were connected once, and that the Evil Liberalism Overlords had destroyed all the evidence of the connection to hide it. Therefore, they’re connected and it’s literally impossible to prove otherwise.
@WE__Henley @trilingualchic @Cluffalo > “[people who I want to do X] have a moral responsibility to [do X]” - someone who can’t actually justify wanting people to do X
Lol. Lmao, even. Enshrine it in law or stop expecting people to follow it. In the real world, adults are adults.
@august_oster @royllovians @LittleMammith “We’ll just abolish crime, and if there’s any left the community can just come together and beat the unrepentant & irredeemable criminals to death. This definitely isn’t reinventing lynch mobs, because I’m a leftist, and lynch mobs only come from the right.”
@MasterHater1917 @royllovians And by “the real sadists,” you mean people who are already unpopular in the community and get accused of being a “real sadist” by someone of higher social status.
@DixonThompson2 @adamjmoussa@SwannMarcus89 From what I hear the instagram guy is a Zionist, but the Twitter OP also has a solid point about the shot composition (and beauty standards in the gay community).
Fortunately, the question of who to root *against* is much more directly evident.
@GhostCoase@young_opsimath@weatherdai > it took significant work to beat thrifty self-reliance out of people.
Lol. No, it didn’t, and you thinking it did reveals a very warped model of human nature. Every population in history ditched “thrifty self-reliance” as soon as an alternative showed up.
@GhostCoase@young_opsimath@weatherdai 2/ Since it’s global, that network will by definition be accessible to non-residual consumers, and they will want in on that action. To keep it “residual,” you’ll have to impose restrictions on production or shipping - i.e., way more government interference in the market.
@GhostCoase@young_opsimath@weatherdai Doesn’t matter - you admitted the residual production to solve the problem of supplying those residual populations too small to produce everything they need. Those are spread all over the world, so you still need a global transport network to get the products there. 1/
@GhostCoase@young_opsimath@weatherdai 1: if you have the infrastructure to supply those residuals, it will also be available to supply everyone else.
2: everyone in the world dropped household production as soon as “mass, distant production” became a viable alternative.
@VeelseeMedia@vanillaopinions During that time, Republicans have been fighting for fascism, & Leftists have been (successfully) interfering with Democrats’ efforts to fight fascism. So yes, I will be supporting & voting for Democrats, because they’re the only one of those 3 that isn’t ontologically evil.
@DemsInArray @KUnleashed2020 You aren’t supposed to look for “evidence” from the “real world.” You’re supposed to obey the social incentive structures present on my discord server, (populated entirely by people who don’t know how to recognize cults).
@UnendingSpite @DocViviLeandra They range from “crap” to “abysmal” for every use case other than sprinting on a racetrack. Your current legs are much more versatile, and already paid for.
