Every administration has been the same, and it's all based on an illusion of democracy and a form of government we never got to vote on and have no way of overturning.

I said bad governments don't deserve taxes. Do you think every government is justified to take as much taxes as it wants however it wants? No? Then shut up! :)

Forming governments is ancap? Sure, dude.

Very true. It was somewhat better with the wire, but much better still without the phone!

Yes an organized strike would be good, and even an unorganized mass strike would do. Without a mass strike we can still be effective however by opting out of the system as much as possible, minimizing taxes and forming parallel societies.

I could answer that question but you obviously aren't interested in the answer, you're just looking to argue.

But am I wrong though? We have to form new governments that actually listen to people and has their consent before we give them taxes. Any other kind of government is just a mafia.

A functioning society needs a functioning government. A functioning government based on consent of the governed is a precondition of taxes being justified. Otherwise tax is theft.

It was flagged as AI-generated, not plagiarism. But it may be that the creators of the tool conflate the two.

Agreed. So we need a decent government before we pay taxes.

Yeah humans were more free without the phone

Government "services" are a net negative at this point

So you're saying taxes are good when we have a government that serves the people? So how about we require the government to serve the people before we let them take taxes?

Yes the headline is definitely misleading clickbait, but the article makes a point

I'm okay with them evading taxes, just let everyone do that

Yup. This applies to every technology post-enlightenment technology. We didn't need cars, we didn't need the internet, we didn't need phones, we didn't need TV, we didn't need X-rays, we didn't need pharmaceuticals, we didn't need automated production and we certainly don't need anything to think for us.

Great! But how do I convince everyone else to use this?

It's unclear to me what the bugs caused are. All I see is a GitHub issue where someone complained things stopped working after an update and blames the AI commits without further evidence. Some are saying the AI was primarily writing tests. I bet the AI did introduce several bugs (or enable them through bad tests) but this article seems more interested in personal drama than the bugs.

Well done to her for going to the location to investigate, but where was the actual investigation? It seems the only person in Madison she talked to was a barista and we don't even have video of it.

Jeffrey Epstein is obviously one of the biggest (by "suicide") along with the lone gunman assassinations of JFK (and his alleged assassin Lee Harvey Oswald, and his brother RFK senior), MLK and Abraham Lincoln.

Recent suspect suicides include former OpenAI employee and critic Suchir Balaji, Epstein victim Virginia Guiffre and Boeing whistleblowers Joshua Dean and John Barnett. There's also a lot of wild speculation around Charlie Kirk's assassination.

Lesser known older deaths ones include Terrance Yeakey's "suicide" (police officer independently investigating the OKC bombing) and Huey Long's assassination/body guard accident (potential opponent to FDR for president).
