Nerdiest shit you've read lately

[Pulgasari]

rough gem from before we mooted the issue by allowing exports (https://www.ourenergypolicy.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/pa555.pdf)

*mutters* fuck you Jimmy Carter

[magnetaress]

still bent on oil when we should be 100% nuclear and geothermal and other renewables for giggles (renewables being like 10-15% of the total tops, and for more private enterprises)

butttt hey we can't even run a healthcare system "privately" :p

so i skimmed the PDF and gave the thread 1 star, butt not cuz u hate jimmy carter.... the list of citations is great tho )

[magnetaress]

to be fair i just think we should be able to do what socialist countries can do NP :P

[Trexller]

there are true and valid concerns and reasons which to address means political suicide

if you ever wonder why anything bad is the way that it is in the world, first look for who will lose money if it stops, and then look for who will lose votes if they stop it.

The root of the plight we endure is the large section of the population that demands they be led by the nose to the trough.

no it's not

humans have desired to be led since the beginning of the species. that's why religion exists. the vast majority of people cannot comprehend the nature of reality thus, sky wizards. this is nothing new.

a very small number of us have figured out how to make shitloads of money off of the rest of everyone, who are all collectively just cattle with credit cards. poor people are always gonna be poor. "wealthy" is a result of an educated worldview, not a work ethic or circumstance.

the plight we endure is that we don't have any major plights. human beings have an innate need to feel like they are fighting for a brighter future, whether that is more foods to gather, animals to hunt or an oppresive force.

the human in 2024 isn't threatened by any of these things, at all. so they decide on their own what their personal plight is, and project that on the rest of society.

we have never had it better, and that's gonna lead to our downfall.

Is it right to assume your interpretation of reality is laid out in your message? That most people are dumb and the wealthy ones are the ones who have figured out that none of this matters so get what you can get and fuck the poors?

Snippy snippy!

Chattel works better in this instance for a similar but meaner meaning.

But it is slightly archaic. :o

I learnt it from a vampire book.

yeah that's a portion of my understanding, in crude and amusing terms

it's simply the reality on the ground. The world looks different when you have money. We all like to think that if we were the CEO of Amazon that we would create much better working conditions for Amazonians.

But if you were to sit behind Jeff Bezo's desk, and were dealing with the things he deals with, you would 99% of the time make very similar decisions.

Greed is only a small factor there.

So your claim hinges on a theory that there are many out there in their daily life who make the same types of decisions that Bezos makes. The only difference being the impact he has is much greater.

[Trexller]

no claim or theory

it's all just this:

[Homesteaded]

Your theory really simplifies an incredibly complex world. Glad that works for you.

[magnetaress]

Have to admit that Trexller has a minor point on we never had it better butt dumb dumbs.

I'm guessing they are the tiny gears covered in feces and screaming about muh rights n freedumbs while they OD on fent and shoot up liquor stores and get syphilis and aids... or die in squalid hoarder houses fed by the afformentioned. Legalizing drugs and banning common sense with UBI and soylent is definitely the best way to combat this /s. Lol.

The caveat is rich ppl do this too. Just on an order of magnitude much greater lol.

[Homesteaded]

Yeah I don't buy this theory that rich people are people who just don't care about other people. It's too simple.

God is real, if you don't want to look you won't find.

[booter]

god is made up

back on topic: nerdiest shit i've read recently is The Kingkiller Chronicles

[arvidez]

racism is made up.

gender is made up.

arriving on time is a construct of racism

Good and bad people from all walks of life. It's pretty easy to tell who if you can sit and listen to someone for 5 minutes.

Rune magic sounds cool. Name command sounds like Necronomicon system.

[Ciderpress]

Yeah I don't buy this theory that rich people are people who just don't care about other people. It's too simple.

It goes like this: rich people are bad because they have more than I do. The poor (me) should have their stuff instead.

Oh and also, I'm allowed to make as much money as I want, cause I'll use my wealth for totally good-guy things only, unlike evil elon musk who doesn't do anything except for bad-guy evil stuff!

I enjoy the read on MT's decision on 4 issues along with work MSRR is doing to get 60,000 verified signatures by June 21 to make a massive color change.

Later this year is going to be epic.

[Patriam1066]

Not all poor people are uneducated and some wealthy people are purely the product of circumstance. Also, fantastically wealthy people tend to be disproportionately pedophiles. I think I’m going to join Katt Williams’ church and we’ll form a multiethnic crime fighting duo like Rush Hour but instead of hunting Jintao, we’ll be hunting pedophiles with my .44 magnum

I think I’m highly moral and hardworking and also occupy a sweet spot of having millsions but also having had to work for it and save and start with nothing so that I’m not a dumb shithead driving a Urus typing this on my iPhone 35

Persian people are late to everything. I tell my wife “I’ll pick you up at 7” if I need her by 830

This doesn’t account for the true despair being caused throughout society felt by the millions who can’t afford healthcare or a home. Not everyone who chose to be a teacher or a firefighter instead of a banker was A) less intelligent than said banker or B) deserves to be miserable, bereft of the financial capability to do simple things like have children

The free market is the only system that will ever work. However, our inequality has reached Satanic levels and God is coming for all of us. You better believe the teachers and firefighters (and janitors) will be in heaven and the bankers will be roasting for eternity (delivered unto God by hollow points loaded by callused hands into my revolver)

You flee to Idaho yet? Tacoma has to be getting expensive, all the California shitheads are pricing normal people out

They’re completely fucking up Texas. Ken Paxton has a lazy eye (mark of the beast)

[Trexller]

lazy eye is the sign of the devil?

that's bad news for Forest Whitaker, Ryan Gosling, Elon Musk, Jason Momoa, JFK and Leonardo Da Vinci and Abraham Lincoln

I left Tacoma 5+ years ago, been in Olympia since then. It's quieter so no intersection car parties but I miss the blue water. South Sound is pretty dismal and this whole town is dirty. Praying for a good outcome in June.

I don’t know anything about the area but hope whatever you need to happen in June happens. Local election?

West coast is crazy bud, if anyone squats in your home give me a call. I’ll call my uncle manuchehr, he was SAVAK

The Guardian Council (https://www.scotusblog.com/case-files/cases/city-of-grants-pass-oregon-v-johnson/) are deciding if they have the nuts to unban laws against public vagrancy

Prediction: they do not

We can't have an oj thread either? I know he was a great guy and all but off topic is literally described as "anything not related to p99"

First up. Sorry you look like me in a mirror. Im like a mythilogical greek, Medusa maybe.

Also, sorry you dont got house pixels.

Corps, cuz dey not reelz can ignore the deadly viruses. Person dies/is sick is just replaced so shareholders get le moneez.

Repeat house buyers had a small hiccup then leveraged existing wealth to power on.

Fuck the rest.
Also kids are lazy. Or just stuck in a world created (arguably) by the same investors/repeat buyers that say this current gen is lazy.

I wonder if the stats for repeat buyers includes those bank of Mum and Dad purchases for their children.

Deftly flouting rules in such a manner that conveys my point but does not warrant a suspension until i suggest that someone could make alot of money online by going on onlyfans, but not suggesting onlyfans, actually typing the link.

can't link to porn sites duh. silly me i didn't know it was 100% porn, but like some platform where users can post shit they wanna sell to other people.

but apparently it's all porn. mods knew better than me for sure, i looked into it and now im a "simp" where i can have a parasocial internet relationship with a super hot woman who has low self esteem, who wouldn't otherwise even type a key for my benefit if i wasn't putting up half my salary. but i like her pictures, and I have to keep buying them so that she can continue to pay her rent in Ukraine.

That's right. I'm standing up for democracy by purchasing boob snaps from Ukrainian women. This is about resisting authoritarianism. This is about standing up for the Liberal World Order. This is about standing up for Freedom!!!

That onlyfans the flames of discord Trex. Sorrymy space bar malfunctiions intermitently.

that site is literally making dreams happen
She made the decision to quit the sport and pursue a career in the adult industry after not making enough money to continue her passion.
she is now back racing, and has partnered with OnlyFans on her car.

She's an aussie racecar driver, now doing racey photoshoots. She has racked up plenty of laps since scoring a new sponsor.
Defo safety first, always deploys dual airbags on impact.
Haha. 181. Way more subtle than just "69".

UPDATE: A kind Redditor corrected the record for me!

The actual numbers are

2015: FTB=52% Invest=30%

2021: FTB=47% Invest=32%

Still not good at math. :cool:
