Hop aboard everyone! Next step are freeware toasters that toast full ads onto your toast.

If your somewhere where being "cringe" or "mean" is socially-acceptable, then I guess sure you've managed to find the loophole. Congratulations.

If you do something in a social situation that can be considered cringe, rude, mean, or offputting, then contextually speaking the action would be considered inappropriate to the social situation as a whole, or in today's Layman's Terms you'd be "awkward af", and people would likely not want to "chill" with you. Depending on where this social situation is occuring they may ask you to leave, or force you to leave.

But I don't really want to debate social ethics and moral philosophy with you as it's tedious and frankly annoying, especially in regards to something so minor. Sooooo yeah no fuck off.

Corporate America rewarding you.....lmao. Yeah. I wish.

You're both the worst. Both of you make things awkward and uncomfortable for everyone else hanging out just trying to have a good time. Both of you bring down the vibes, and both of you need to leave. No, I don't care whose "worse". You both suck. Please leave.

Until everyone is also driving the 6,000 lb death machine. Now you need to get the 9,000 lb death machine to compensate and thus the cycle restarts until everyone commutes to work in literal tanks because "it's safer".

Or the ability to forgo sleep indefinitely. I've got too much shit I want to do and too little time.

I mean I get both sides here. We live in a free market economy, where the scarcity of something affects the cost of it. People want land close to the city and there's an extremely limited amount of it. If there are n*100 people and only n parcels of land in a small area, how do you provide it to people? Do you sell it? Is it a lottery system? Is the land sold at a base value that never changes? Like, how do you envision this going?

Right now, people have to freedom to buy as much land as they want and set the pricing for that land. What we need is a property owner tax that scales up depending on the amount of property that you own. Though this will just make more land available. No one in their right mind will sell it for less than it's worth though.

Mate, I didn't say anything about socialism or it's policies though. I just said I don't want to interact with them. I'm all for stemming rampant capitalism and moving towards a more socialistic economic system, but it sucks that I can't talk with them. I've had numerous interactions with people over at some of the socialist Lemmy communities and I'm constantly put on blast for just trying to discuss what implementation of some policies would realistically look like only to be met with racially-charged insults and general douchebaggery. I'll admit that I'm jaded with the followers. It's like they have this, "your either with us or against us" approach, and me identifying as a Social Democrat in front of Socialists is like saying I worship the devil in front of a bunch of Puritans. Crikey, the responses I get.

Because I really was looking forward to actually discussing what certain socialistic changes would entail and how they could be realistically implemented with the US within a logical timeframe, and every response was pretty much, "fuck you for wanting gradual change". No gents, I don't WANT gradual change, but I do expect something of this magnitude to take years to realistically get to, only to be told that I'm "an imperialist who is holding back change". After enough interactions, you get jaded. Doesn't matter who you are.

Seems like I made a comment discussing how I dislike the followers of socialism rather than discussing the pros and cons of capitalism. Not sure what comment your responding to.

If everything you ever ate from a garden poisons you, would you still be eager to taste something new from it?

I've had enough interactions with socialists to understand the kind of it people it draws to it. I would love economic democracy and better socialized programs, but I'll explore it on my own. I have no desire to ask questions, or discuss anything with a socialist when I'm immediately put on blast because I don't pass their bullshit purity test. It's like either I'm 100% in support of all of their ideals, or I'm a jingoist, Imperialist bastard.

And instead of just, you know, asking questions or talking with me, your first response is " because people were mean to you, you don't believe in the right thing"? FFS, really? Wait to put words in my mouth, but hey, I guess I'm the bad guy here because I don't like you guys. Whatever.

I'm interested in the ideals, but goodness do I dislike the followers.

As an extremely left-leaning Democrat, no. I'm totally happy with socialized Democracy and providing more socialized benefits, but I refuse to associate with actual socialists. For one, they commonly have a "my way or the highway" approach to everything - your way is wrong, there's is right, and if you don't like that, you must be a cracker Imperialist that likes all of the evils that Democracy has provided...oh, and yeah, they have no problem with using racial slurs against white people, as they believe you LITERALLY can't be racist to white people.

As someone that was interested in exploring more of socialism and the benefits it could provide I was met with the most hostile, rabid, insufferable people I've ever met. Fuck no, I'm not going to become a socialist.

A righty tighty will always be a lefty loosey. What you got there is a "torquey teary". Ease up on installation there Magilla.

You can't convince me that this isn't an expanded marshmallow that was hidden under or inside a red Easter egg last spring.

Every 5th piece also has woody breast meat in it as well. I used to never see that shit, now it feels like it's in every damn bag. Woody Meat Roulette. The worst game.

Yes, apparently that's the ONLY way anyone can ever start an insurrection. Damn your astute logic. If only everyone can be as flawlessly intelligent as you. All he did was plan with the Proud Boys to help rile people up and direct them towards the capital; privately reach out and pressure state election administrators to lie and overturn election results; claim that he was cheated and lied to everyone for weeks prior to Jan 6th, effectively building a political bonfire that he planned to light on Jan. 6th; give a speech where he helped to incite a mob and direct them towards the capital steps, with the Proud Boys helping to lead the chargea and effectively direct the crowds anger; and even actually tried to march to the Capital himself to lead the charge. But other than that, he did absolutely nothing. God damn, if we could only be so smart as you.

Moscow just bans any candidate that could threaten Putin's reign.

What sort of device is needed to get her breasts inside of that armor. Are they just vacuumed in making the donning process easy? Or does she manually have to shove/squish those badabadonkers in there over the course of like 5-10 minutes? Either way that looks extremely uncomfortable..

Ah. They are using literal spaghetti as a transport medium. I was so fucking confused. Like....wtf do they mean by spaghetti. Oh, the literal noodle....
