- monadic2 6y agoI’m not sure what your point is—the internet always had wider applicability than war. Anyway, that neglects the point that both a MiG and military investment have piss-poor returns and you might as well burn the cash. Like how hard is it to invest in the people around you? What goes wrong in your life where you spend on a fucking MiG rather than feeding people? It’s sociopathic behavior.
- RandomBacon 6y agoWhy are you here instead of out volunteering. Why are you using a computer when it could be sold to feed people. I have a feeling you're starting to break the rules of this site. I'm not going to bother replying anymore.
- monadic2 6y agoI have no issues actually doing the things you’re mocking. I’m very secure in my own ability to contribute to society. Oh god not the rules! How will this produce complacent founders?
- influx 6y agoAgreed, also the Space Race wasn't started because the US was embarrassed the Soviets could put up a satellite, it was because once you can launch a satellite, you can launch a nuclear bomb anywhere in the world.
