The Biden administration sat on many thing, their total passiveness is no indication of anything. After all, they let the Jan 6 coup attempt go by with nothing but a strongly-worded speech that no one listened to. At this point, there is ze

I think this is a bad argument for socialized healthcare (Which I am 100% for BTW). Look at retired people, they contribute very little to society. From a purely economical POV, letting them die is the correct course of action. I, and many

He wrote a long rant about Greta Thunberg being the antichrist. I think that places him more in the "insane" box than the "christian" one, but still.

Flexible, I get. Safe, affordable and clean? Nothing moves more people more efficiently than subways. Take it from a Parisian who owns a car but never feels the need to use it, I've never felt such freedom. Cars are noisy, take a lot o

What would prevent attacks between "tribes"? What would prevent one from taking over the others and sending us back to square one?

The actual issue is that people spend too much time in their cars. Autonomous driving is a crutch to bad city planning.

I don't know what to tell you. You have decided that the entirety of the left is actually just envious of Musk and Trump, and that there's nothing else to it. That's frankly insane. I don't know what to tell you besides:

Your armchair psychoanalysis is extremely distasteful. Can you engage with the other side without straw manning them? It is perfectly explainable for someone to fear Musk, pouring billions into influencing elections to prop up an anti-worke

This is extremely reductionist of leftwing politics and ideas, and I sincerely hope you are not basing your political orientation from that. Wealth inequality is power inequality, which in a society leads to terrible outcomes for the majori

"Government granted monopolies", as you call them, are the logical endpoint of a "free market". It always devolves into this, as capital accumulates into fewer and fewer hands until some people are able to wrangle the

I found that if you omit to mention "Marx" from your comment and replace "Labor/Capital" by "Workers/Billionaires", people will generally upvote.

What was the line again? The 80 richest men own as much as the bottom 50% of humanity?

I think writing an article that starts by "We need to have meaningful discussions about structural class differences, and segmenting the population based on wealth is an obvious starting point" and then not even mention Marx onc

The ACA was very much a compromise that Republicans wanted over a better healthcare bill supported by the Democrats. It's basically a big cash present to insurance companies, who were free to jack up premiums and get paid by the Govern

Why put "Nietzsche" in the title of your article if you're going to do your own schtick? It's rather dishonest, IMO. I personally disagree with a lot of Nietzsche's ideas, but if I'm ever to explain how, I woul

Pretty funny, looks like it works in France too! animaux.fr redirects to a pet adoption service, cable.fr looks like a cable-selling shop. artmural.fr exists but looks like a personal blog from a wall artist, rather than a shop.

I think we're saying the same thing? Brown shirts are bad, ICE is currently occupying the role of brown shirts, therefore ICE is bad, yes?

Weird how we only see them rounding up farm and factory workers, or assaulting journalists in the street, etc. Listen, they have daily arrest quotas in the hundreds. You seriously think they can find this many "bad guys" daily, as

You're missing the point of Trump's ICE. Scaring the opposition is their entire raison d'être . Abducting citizens randomly, wearing masks and using uncalled-for violence are their tools to achieve this. However reasonable y

Wonder why people would take issue with the unqualified, armed, masked thugs abducting innocent people off the street and deporting them without recourse or due process. Must be all about Trump, surely. The only thing defying logic here is

by thrance 1y ago
Masked ICE thugs have been abducting citizens, and refusing their victims their due process. Stop acting like you're still ignorant about that.

Obviously, but I was responding to OP's claim that Bethesda's games took a dip in the quality department, by underlining that they were always infamous for putting out rushed games riddled with bugs.

EU is more Europe than USA is America, yet you don't see much complaining about the latter.

Bethesda has always been known for its abysmal lack of care about quality. Morrowind (2002) is riddled with bugs, a lot of them game breaking. They're all listed on the wiki, each article having several of them, with steps to resolve t

Democrats should be counter-messaging every hours of every day, on all media, to create actual dissent within the electorate. They're acting like they can't do anything but watch idly. It's insane that with all that happened,
