Trump is a little bitch and Putin is a fucking cunt.

A better plan to end the war is seeing both of them thrown into the pit of a deep fiery volcano.

Goddammit these assholes never stop

Diablo (the first one) has some of the best dungeon and game music ever made in my opinion

Phew, I was getting worried there wasn’t enough billionaires with AI pet projects

So this article’s premise is “why bother having a military?” and “let’s just be friends with Russia!”

Trash article.

Interesting. AI has dementia

all systems of societal organization have been successful and failures depending on what your criteria are.

if we are talking about people living together in groups with relative safety and most physical needs met, pretty much every economic/political structure has had “success.” monarchies, republics, feudalism, theocracies, agrarian societies, tribal communities with fairly democratic structures have all existed throughout history and have been very successful in many respects and have also contributed to social challenges.

it could be argued that the quality of life that modern people enjoy in developed nations is in large part thanks to technology not necessarily capitalism though capitalism, as any form of economy, certainly plays a significant role in the distribution of those resources and technology.

im not sure if we should define as the mass accumulation of material goods, consumerism, and the grotesquely imbalanced concentration of wealth as “success” necessarily, as all contribute greatly to the incredible destruction of the biosphere, mass extinctions, climate change, and basically the reason society and life on earth is spiralling into a giant pit of hell.

nor is capitalism the most “peaceful” system as proponents claim; the greatest wars and genocides on earth have occurred during the capitalist era. the united states, the great capitalist nation, is in perpetual war and has been pretty much throughout its entire history. how many armed conflicts are happening right now in the world? every one of those countries involved exists in capitalism.

there is enough wealth in the world to afford every person a decent life, to provide healthcare, education, shelter, resources to live and yet this does not occur and as a bonus every ecosystem on earth is in imminent collapse. does not sound like a “success” to me.

could we manage to have a more sustainable and equal society with capitalism? surely it is possible but currently our capitalist structure is deeply sick.

if we are talking about finding the most egalitarian societies, it would probably be some societies in pre-colonial north america or maybe some ancient societies in the indus valley, which are said to have very interesting and fairly equal communities.

Americans should be rioting already. There seems to be no end to the corruption and madness of their sham Supreme Court and fascist government. What will it take?

I am so sick of everyone kowtowing to Trump’s incessant bitch ass demands and petulant whining. Can we just say fuck off to the goddamn fascists and be done with it already?

That always bugs me too

As a pedestrian i HATE roundabouts. No lights, no stop signs, i just have to hope that maybe a car will see me and stop

Until you want a functional amount of RAM and storage…

Maybe 1/100 people I see using headphones have wired headphones, certainly wasn’t the case 10 years ago. Bluetooth technology and quality has come a long way.

Hyperspace in Babylon 5 is pretty cool.

Also in Star Trek TNG when the Traveller uses his mind to go crazy fast.

And calling everyone who has a different opinion on how society should be governed is a “toddler” apparently.

It’s funny because fires have been started by people during the ban… so what has the ban accomplished in terms of actually preventing fires?

People who are the problem and starting fires will ignore the ban while responsible people who want to enjoy nature or walk home through the park are the ones punished.

And why are they trying to politicize this so hard and make this a left/right issue? It’s absolutely not.

Banning fires? Of course. Banning smoking and motor vehicles on trails and in woods? Absolutely. But walking through a park deserves a $25,000 fine? That is life ruining to some people and for what? For HIKING?? It’s crazy to me how widespread the support is for this and how much people are jumping on the government bandwagon. And to disagree with fining hikers you are an evil conservative fascist now? Give me a fucking break.

Yes, its dry as shit out there but to punish people who don’t drive, smoke, or have fires doesn’t make sense in my opinion and the mob mentality about this is so weird.

So someone can drive their car (the number one contributor to climate change) through the forest while ashing a cigarette out their window, corporations get to pollute and destroy the entirety of all ecosystems but a person walking through a park or by a lake is the real problem and must be punished…

dear russian propagandist, go fuck yourself

and especially in the middle east!
