And it should be illegal to gamble privately in the stock market. Instead, ALL citizens should be made equal shareholders in the entire economy, and all companies should be made to pay a portion of the profits to be invested into a general fund, and the gains paid out to every single member of the public.

Why?

I want a house that’s mostly buried, but just for the temperature benefits. And the possibilities for secret rooms.

I stopped watching almost entirely back in 02 when I got sick of watching planes flying into the WTC over and over. And over. And over. I also hate ads. I’ve never paid for cable or streaming, aside from YT premium.

If I want to watch a show I buy a disc, watch at a friend’s place, or I don’t bother. Is it that important, really?

General strike. Mutual aid networks. Community defense.

I work at heights daily, climbing 100m towers. I’m also scared of heights. I’ve done some cliff dives into deep water as another way to face that fear. It takes a force of will for me to jump off more than about 10m. Sure wish I enjoyed that thrill.

I’ve never had kids. Got it done down in TX. Told the doc I’ve never wanted them and didn’t want to pay for anymore abortions.

I did it fully conscious with local anesthesia because I had no one to pick me up and look after me if I took the knockout gas. There were a couple tiny pricks of pain next to the base of my penis, then numbness. An unpleasant tugging sensation in each testicle when he positioned my vas deferens to cut, cauterize, and clamp the ends. That was the worst part, but like I say, it didn’t hurt. Aside from that, I nervously wisecracked with the nurses, who politely laughed and joked back. Then I put my pants back on, paid the bill (ouch!), drove myself home, and spent the weekend getting high and playing video games with frozen gel packs under my balls. All that felt like was the dull tenderness you get a little while after a blow to the junk. Totally manageable. I took some Advil or something.

Against advice, I returned to my strenuous job 3 or 4 days afterwards, and jerked off repeatedly much sooner than suggested. I’ve experienced zero complications, but ymmv. Taking my wisdom teeth out was much worse. Getting a tattoo is far more painful. It was a bit worse than getting my ears pierced, but healed faster.

8/10 Would totally repeat the experience just for the days off with zero responsibilities. My only regret is I didn’t do it at 18.

I know, right?

Dude killed a mass muderer. He did the right thing.

You said they intend to show that it is impossible to get away with doing something like this. I agree, and was saying that if anyone does do something like this, then I see no reason to be taken alive. They had nothing to lose, and their life is over.

Heavily armed and peaceful

Ftfy

Their lives sure must be fantastic for them to want to live that way for eternity.

The oligarchs sure are trying to live forever though. Life extension, mind uploading, etc. They say that mouse lifespans can already be nearly doubled.

Funny thing about that though. Human lifespans already doubled over the previous century, thanks to medical advances and resource abundance. There’s no reason to think it can extend much further, aside from the peddling of grifters. The brain is far, far too complex to emulate without destroying it in the process, so I encourage Elon to go for it.

If you decide that this system is so insufferable to live within that you’re willing to do what this guy did, I don’t see any reason to be taken alive.

Don’t let the new guy distract you. There used to be a different guy just before him.

If you’ve got nothing left to lose…

And I replied before you deleted it. I appreciate it. But my statement stands. For tonight anyway. I don’t have anything against you. I’m just done with this particular conversation. Your interests and mine have differed too much for me to want to continue, and I’m trying to control how easily I get irritated, that’s all.

Have a good night.

Stop talking to me.

Cool.

And you know what I’m going to maintain? You have fundamentally misunderstood the point I was trying to make. I can’t say I blame you for it. Obviously some of that’s on me.

But you know what else I’m not gonna do? I’m not gonna go line by line refuting your misunderstanding of my various quotes from my mobile device, and certainly not when I’m going to bed. Definitely not when I’d rather sleep than lay awake being annoyed at someone insisting upon not getting my point that I often struggle to make.

Gnight dude. Ever a pleasure.

Sweet Jesus, you’re impossible.

Plenty of people already do not believe that the handsome guy was the shooter. It’s all over this place. The jackets don’t match.

Nobody wants him caught. It’s all over this place.

I was speculating on what might happen with all this in the near future, regardless of what you might think makes no sense.

I don’t know if they’ll really catch him. But I do think that plenty of people will not accept their claim.
