white people are considered Caucasian, which argentinians are not a part of

Why do you think they speak Spanish?

It really depends if they try and shove it down your throat or not, generally no because I like learning about other religions but some people just can't accept a difference of opinion

I'll stick to worshiping Eru and hope the ending of the world happens soon so we can get to the 2nd song of the Ainur

Idk why people always think this It wont be this perfect utopia. And theres always a reassign to keep us down. People want power. And if the common folk can do whatever they want, then they dont have power. So, theyll do whatever it takes to stay in power. And if they control everything from jobs to the arts, the. They still have power Just because robots do everything doesnt mean anything. It just means were stuck relying on everyone else to get by. No money is actually a very complicated system to go to from where we are now. So many things will have to be figured out. In the end, a bunch of people get screwed

Yes, the transition will be terrible and screw a lot of people before we get to a currency-less society but whether we want it out not they'd the way things are going

Argentinian is not a race, they can have white people there

Well they're both big enough where non soccer fans have heard of them so yes, same with Rinaldo

I can't think of any other soccer players off the top of my head

Because those fun jobs can still make other people money. The rich want to stay rich, and get richer. So, theyll be the ones making it hard for musicians to do whatever The rich dont care what we want. They care about money

If robots do everything for us then everyone can live like a rich hedonist if they'd like, keeping others down serves no purpose like it does today

The existence of AI creating art doesn't prevent you from creating art. It just prevents it from being commercially viable, which, as you say, is no longer meaningful when there's no money-based economy.

It does oversaturate the market making it harder for people to find the work of actual artists

adjl posted...

That, and the notion of art/entertainment being the only jobs for people is very obviously flawed. The vast, vast majority of people aren't talented enough to be able to make a career out of art. If those are the only jobs, that means artists are the only ones that can make money, and you just can't run an economy like that.

If AI takes over all the jobs there won't be a money based economy anymore, the fun jobs (like being a writer, musician, athlete, etc.) will be for fun/fame not extra resources. Why take the fun jobs out of life along with the shit jobs?

why no one is producing any more art.

It pisses me off that people are making AI do art, like don't they think that should be left to humans? They should use AI to get rid of the jobs people don't want to do. Keep AI out of Art, entertainment, and sports. The goal should be to get to a point where those are the only jobs for people.

It's really been that long already? Well I'm glad for you guys and hope you enjoy your anniversary

Bezos isn't part of Amazon anymore.

He's just the founder and majority stake holder, that's not nothing. It's not like he sold off ownership and is 100% out

Why would the beach be restricted? I bet they won't even tell us what it is when they find out, it'll just disappear to a secret government location never to be seen again

Bezos is trying so hard to own the whole world, fuck him and Amazon, I haven't used it in over a decade at this point and refuse to use it

The world is getting too globalized and that's a terrible thing

Or-Burrow

If Marlboro is pronounced Mar-Burrow and Edinboro is Ed-in-Burrow then that has to be Or-Burrow

Those don't seem like they would be the right way to say them, none of those are combining words like pyro or necro.

Anyways, Alcomancer? Not sure how else you would put it

That sounds like a pokedex entry

29, I feel like my youth is just about over, less than a year until I'm 30

Had to put down my 16 y/o Lab last year, it always sucks putting down a pet but sometimes you have to

Even at my biggest I didn't have a 40in waist, so it's not like it's super restrictive

I misread this post as "mating season" at first.

Isn't that generally in the spring as well? You misread that correctly

i didn't know about that website, is cool

I feel like it lies, it gave my town a 36 in walkability even though I can get to just about anything in 5-10 minutes

I agree, hockey is great, soccer is fun to play but a bore to watch

Yes, I got just about everything within a 5-10 minute walk from my house with sidewalks everywhere

Fall for me, you got Halloween, the weather is nice, football starts, bugs start to die, and pumpkin everything

I've gotten to the point where I get into that funk pretty frequently but I know how to get out of it so I am not in that rut for more than a day or 2

I asked for 32 pages of Democrats. You started this rhetoric by saying "both sides" but now want to act like you don't buy into that. Why do you use certain terminology and then get upset people ask you to defend your stance?

Maybe YOU want to believe they're all the same when patently they aren't.

They are the same thing, they fight and pick sides about issues to divide the country but it's all a show. Why do you think neither "side" ever does anything that's actually good for the people? When's the last time both parties came together and actually got something good done? Republicans are controlled opposition pretty much, or I guess both are controlled opposition to each other, it's all a show.

Jen0125 posted...

If you don't "buy into it" why do you consistently make comments about "both sides?" Still waiting for your 32 page list of Democratic politicians being sex offenders.

The parties are the same shit, they do all the same shit, they work together to screw the common man all the time. If everyone else views them as separate entities I have to put it in a way they'll understand. They want you to think they are 2 sides so they can divide the country and it works pretty well given this topic

You ask for 32 democrats but when you view it as the parties vs the people instead of republican vs Democrat then it really doesn't matter. The politicians are the problem regardless of which "side" they are on.

Probably because the advent of a widely available birth control pill was a gigantic technological advancement with many unforseen and often severe social, political, and economic implications that we never did and never will really take the time to look into.

The pill doesn't make women less loyal or more likely to leave so I'm not sure why you think the pill has an impact

No you're wrong no one is saying it doesn't happen, stop making up arguments you wish to speak against. You are making an argument that only serves to protect one party by going "see they are just as bad as us right?" No they're not just as bad. Stop trying to use the both sides defense.

See, I don't even think they are different sides, they work together to divide and manipulate the people. I think, for the most part, the average person for either party are good people just voting for what they think is best/the lesser of 2 evils while the politicians for either party are terrible. Why do we need such strong political divide? Both parties work together to expand their power. The problem isn't either party, the problem is the 2 party system that is easily exploitable. Stop coming at me with bOtH sIdEs shit as if I even buy into the lie they are different sides

It's overwhelmingly a problem for Republicans. You can't deny that.

https://m.dailykos.com/stories/2022/4/17/2092543/-Republican-Sexual-Predators-Abusers-and-Enablers-Pt-31

This list is up to 32 parts. I've yet to find a comparable list for any other American political party.

All those people are trash, I'm not denying it's a problem in the republican party but a lot of democrats seem to think it doesn't happen in their side of the isle

See, the problem is that drag queens and teachers are grooming the kids... into realizing that they shouldn't have to marry their uncles when they're 12 years old.

There's groomers on both sides of the political isle, it's so funny to me when people act like it's only the other side that has those skeletons in their closet. That's why this problem doesn't get fixed, no one wants to admit their side might be harboring trash humans like that dlso they give them a pass and look the other way

Also you poop in toilets. Pooping on toilets is disgusting.

You poop on a toilet because you sit on it while you poop, you don't sit inside the toilet when you poop

No, it was an unpopular thing. But so are countless other laws. However, unlike many current laws, trying to taper down on alcohol actually has a social good if it was done properly, which the original attempt was not.

Right now, there are a lot of common-sense alcohol control measures that could curb most of the problems:

1) Limit consumption to point of sale in a controlled setting.

2) Track alcohol consumption to ID potential problems

3) Have all alcohol profits be used to pay for rehab and detox programs

If alcohol was properly managed, we could scale the consumption down to the point where the social harms might be negligible and an outright ban would be unnecessary.

Dudes really out here saying alcohol is bad because it causes car accidents then goes on to say people shouldn't be drinking at home and only at point of sale

Depends, at a friend's/ family's members house, sure but public naw

13, though they're always kinda long, 12 wide would be perfect but they're hard to find so usually just go with 13

Prohibition was a bad thing, zeus, did you not learn that?

83%, came off the charger about 4 hours ago

The fucked up part is that it doesn't need to be that way, there is so many added chemicals that do the real harm. Nicotine isn't even bad for you (smoking it still will hurt you though) and if they just put straight tobacco in people probably wouldn't die so much from it, not sure why they need all the extra shit in it that does the bulk of the damage.

Starting smoking is probably the worst decision in my life

a successful marriage is a healthy marriage

an abusive marriage is already a failure (not the fault of the victim)

leaving is the correct choice

I agree with all of this, not sure why that's a bad thing

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

You are the one being black/white about this, you can't understand how a broken marriage is a failure and yet leaving an abusive marriage is still the better option. People go into a marriage with the goal of staying together the rest of their lives and failed to meet that goal. The abuser is 100% at fault for it ending and the abused shouldn't take any blame for a divorce, but that doesn't mean they successfully completed their goal going into the marriage.

It's a failure, sometimes you fail in life without it being in your control, if the marriage breaks down because 1 side is abusive that's still a failure but only the abuser is at fault. You fail in life and you learn and it can lead it better things. Leaving an abusive marriage is the right thing to do and will lead to a better life. I'm not saying it isn't the better option by far because it is but sometimes you can fail without any control and this is one of those situations.

I would call leaving and abusive relationship a win Even if you are breaking your vows So, I wouldnt consider it a lose/lose situation

I'm not saying people should stay in abusive marriages, if you are in an abusive relationship of any kind you need to get away from that, but at the same time you don't go into a marriage with the goal of getting divorced one day.

Zangrief posted...

So you just say that leaving an abusive marriage is a Loss.

Cool. So we know you think leaving, an abusive marriage, where a person is being beaten or emotionally abused, it's a LOSS for them to leave.

Good lord.

Staying in an abusive relationship is a loss, can't you read? Sometimes you have to choose between breaking your vows and having a better life, that doesn't mean breaking your vows is a good thing it just means you are in a lose/lose situation so go with breaking your vows. You didn't meet the conditions of your vows but sometimes that's the better option. I swear you love to twist things

For example, if you hear a song you don't like but it still brings you back to a certain period of time in your life would that count as nostalgia?

Why? So everyone can make fun of her some more?

That one just makes me think of Weird Al, so I guess you're right

She has good songs?

Zangrief posted...

Not only is that both wrong, legally, and historically, it also reeks of telling people to stay in unhappy, or even abusive marriages due to a supposed tradition that was coopted by a book.

What do you think until death do you part means? You think it's just a cool line the pastor throws in? A divorce is an L but so is staying in an unhappy or abusive marriage. You just have to accept you'll lose sometimes in life
