Holy fuck, that youtube channel is straight wacko

Well the people here are really weird, so there is that. Reddit has its issues but at least people there understand humor.

Oh please, we all realize this didn’t take off as expected. Reddit has its grip

Man this sub just isnt funny

whoosh

Way to take some responsibility for your own impact.

Mmmk child

That’s how it always ends

Organic farming?

I’m salty about pseudointellectualism, not real intellectualism. The current format of short post communication on the internet is just not conducive to intellectual discussion.

His first website (or company?) was named X and he said he has a fondness for the letter, hence his son’s odd name, SpaceX, and the rebrand of twitter. He just likes the letter X.

I think if, culturally, we have a value shift (it’s already happening imo) then we can properly commodify important aspects nature. e.g., how much value is there in reducing in our CO2 output? How much value is there in preserving these species? Right now, we don’t place enough value on it, and that’s why I think regulations are incredibly important in a capitalist system. We certainly need more of it, but we also need it globally so companies can’t just jump ship to other places where those values aren’t in place.

I can agree with the “so far” qualifier. Things can always be improved, and yes many other systems look great on paper. I am just waiting for the evidence of those other systems functioning in practice. Personally, I would not my country to be the guinea pig in case it backfires. I am content with my western country and its generally current standard of living over past generations and civilizations.

I am pro-capitalist myself because there is literally no evidence for anything else working well on earth. Capitalist systems (albeit with regulations to maintain free markets - ie snuff monopolies and anticompetitive practices) have improved the standard of living for people more than any other system ever has. But I full expect flurries of downvotes because of where I am and the group think circle jerk here.

lol this is so painfully accurate, especially in internet culture where people feel inadequate in real life so they spend their time online wielding their swords of intellect.

Even after silicone lubing all my molex they still suck ass. Hate those things so much

Much more expensive? Have you looked at how much it costs to build subways in the US compared to EU? It’s absolutely insane. We are failing to do this affordably. https://www.npr.org/2023/06/26/1184420745/why-building-public-transit-in-the-us-costs-so-much

No, this is outrage bait.

Batteries are cheap to replace.
