Tell me how working by the hour at a grocery store varies from working for a repo center by the hour or being a by the hour debt collector?

The billionaires who have abused the capitalistic society we live in aren’t the true capitalists no one is a true capitalist.

People own shit, people have stuff, people don’t have anywhere nice to put their stuff because of a priced out housing market.

If you live in the US you’re living within the capitalistic guidelines that the powers that be set for us. If you live in China you’re living within the semi-communistic way of life they’ve set…

The fuck? Why wouldn’t the US want the actual sizes. Wouldn’t having geographically correct maps help the planet and the people, oh wait… The US government hates that kind of shit

Lastly: for anyone thinking what can happen if I hit my head off the pavement either from the back or front of the skull without a helmet (with MIPS are supposedly the safest),

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coup_and_contrecoup_injury

That’s an example of what could happen. Lessening the impact to have it so that your skull isn’t bouncing off the ground, can reduce the possibilities of this happening.

I think that there should be an age cap for wealth earning and I think that there should be a cap on how many properties you can own in total, like globally.

I think that after 50 or 60 you shouldn’t be able to accumulate more than 1mil a year.

Property tax should be like 1,800$ a year across the board, there should be a set rate by the federal banking system and it should go up and down based on income rates set by inflation.

If you have someone leasing the house to live in it, then you should pay the same property taxes as if you were living in it yourself. Maybe a bit higher.

Wait why higher if you’re renting or leasing it out? Shouldn’t that be a reduction on taxes due to the home owner not using it for selfish reasons and/or being part of the problem of living in a single family house because owning a single family house is a greedy ass thing to do and makes you an awful person for taking up space that could be used for multi-dwelling apartment complexes.

A cult leader that supposedly started off as a carpenter, that was born from a virgin birth and “performed miracles.” You know what the real thing is, it’s the, “Well what if he is?,” feeling. I’m guessing that’s what scared the shit out of everyone back then too and throughout Christianity’s existence. That one fuckin’ feeling.

'Cause being scared, hopeless, in shambles or something of the sort is when people turn to religion or drugs… Or both…

It’s just comfort shit though and I don’t hate on it, it’s just something that I have no ability to truly put belief into.

Helmets I’m more ambiguous on. They’re usually a good idea, but you could say the same for people walking or driving.

Yeah true but you’re not exposed to the environment going over 20mph in a car vs on a moped or motorcycle. Like if you’re riding a moped or a motorcycle, you should be wearing a helmet. You may not come out looking the same if you fall on your face but your odds of surviving without a brain injury are higher, than if you didn’t wear a helmet.

Then again, the only place on Earth where having a vending machine that’s hooked up to city water and a tank in a locked box that has a sterilizing agent and sprays helmets in a vending machine for blue bike users, would be Japan. - Someone take this idea.

Yes, I meant ebikes.

I meant the ebikes or ecycles but I guess times have changed. Back when I was a kid we didn’t have ebikes only the pedal bikes. Those aren’t any safer, I guess I’m just not with the times.

Yup, where I am e-mopeds are a hazard more than the ebike riders. Fat tire e-bike riders aren’t around as much as they used to be because I’m guessing they figured out they’re not easy to pedal if the battery dies.

The scooters are around they’re chill.

The e-mopeds riders I’ve seen are all impatient and go full throttle on the trail.

It’s 15mph on the trail. Usually 5mph on the turns.

I just don’t think children should be using them and I think anyone whose uses them should be wearing a helmet. I think law enforcement should ask people to dismount their escooter or ebike if they’re not wearing a helmet and issue warnings or citations. I’m not usually in favor of making rules and stuff but it’s just like, we got one thing to protect our skulls if we’re on things that can go 28mph which is fucking fast and requires time to slow down then, maybe making the helmet mandatory isn’t bad.

Okay so I figured it out a while back and an old manic-depressive friend always used to tell me there’s no point to that show, it’s a nonsense show; He’s so wrong and always has been, I always tried to tell him if you paid attention to the story line and not the trippy shit, you’ll realize season 1 is about Xavier trying to live the life that he has created for himself through his own previous misfortunes and follows the search for the father’s killer. Season 2, is about Xavier figuring out who he once was and is trying to connect to his past and is on the search for an ultimate connection to his past and inner self until he realizes he’s been insane the whole time.

Muh Cynicism: Well once the billionaires charge us a larger premium for nuclear energy maybe science will invent magic, har har har.

Nahhhh but to be honest no one can be happy with anything when it comes to energy: Hydroelectric, the fish. Solar, the agricultural and livestock. Nuclear, land and ocean contamination that can last as long as the US has been around.

3D printing houses that can solve a housing crisis, the process it takes to make the concrete.

Can’t we just shut up and and enjoy scientific advances.

You know what AI reminds me of? That Xavier the renegade angel episode where the monks built that machine to do the monk chants for them and all but two monks remained afterwards and the two that were left in the monastery were playing video games and had put on weight. And the monks said something like: surely engaging in western luxuries will not make us lazy.

where possible because it’s terribly energy intensive to make

Bruh it takes a mixer and water. The only thing that would get used more than not, is water.

Lumber is stupid expensive, brick homes are labor intensive and more expensive, you can do mixed substrate homes but that’s expensive too. Glass paneling is usually only for stupid rich people or businesses and metal siding with metal interior and a metal roof, you may as well live in a shipping container.

Horsehair plaster homes that are used as apartments with old metal clad wiring and lead paint are a thing. I think a 3D printed home is a step up.

Literally in the 3D printing for dummies book, it says that 3D printed houses that will be disposable will be part of the future and the next industrial revolution.

I don’t see a problem, lumber is expensive af and there’s a huge homeless problem here in the US, so if that tech was supported it could make villages for homeless people to get services and have a temp home. I say temp home because section 8 homes in general aren’t meant to be forever apartments and I’m going off of that trope for the term temp home, I just didn’t want to use the wording, “3D Printed Projects-Style Housing.”

Yeah, you can do the BBQ thing. You, just can’t for instance buy a used RV and climb on top of it and start handing out cooked food to everyone.

As long as AI doesn’t become the standard way of correcting a bug or coding Linux shit then it’s whatever. If they end up as bad as Microslop, then we’re gonna have to make hardened rules around the Distros that can and can not have AI, fixing issues.

I mean… I’m not gonna lie on the flipped coin of that sentiment, I would love to see a Linux OS built entirely by Ai.

It’s kind of like fuck Ai taking over the movie industry but I would love to see a documentary about the AI pasta eating evolution of will smith but created with AI.
