People thought the same thing about written language, that it would ruin everyone’s memory cause they could just write things down and wouldn’t have to go through the honorable effort of rembering everything

Although, to be fair, they didn’t have capitalism then so our similar worries might be more well founded lol

This comment was calling out the person I replied to for being ableist, thanks for removing it because I was slightly rude about standing up for myself

I’d imagine that most worked for Nazi Germany under the threat of death or imprisonment

Certainly not these 1600 of the upper eschelon. Probably a few, sure, but most? Of these 1600 that the US went out of its way to save and coddle? Nah, the ones who had no choice were working class folks and even then not nearly most, the rest chose it. Especially those 1600. Not to mention nazi medical experiments did not yield anything of value that wouldn’t have been obtained another way. They learned only how to inflict great suffering.

I find your example invalid

But lets pretend I don’t. Let’s pretend they DID make important discoveries that have saved millions of lives? No! What the fuck? No of course not!

I don’t even understand your point here. I specifically don’t respect these positions of power and the people who occupy them and use them to exploit others? That was what my post was ABOUT?

What are you talking about???

No way, not in a million years

We don’t need fancy code contracts to own stuff, downloading exists. It’s just an even more hair brained extension of IP copyright and other systems that only exist under capitalism

then your mouth will get all dry and if you’re sick you’ve probably got a sore throat too, the #1 time I try not to breath through my mouth

That one futurama episode where bender is floating in space and he gets hit with a meteor and tiny life evolves on him and then they annihilate themselves with nukes

I want to play that game

There’s lots of god box games but they never get it right, they’re either civ builders or map sims, the tech advancement and interactions etc are just shadows of the mechanics they could have, and the best ones never let them get nukes and have nuclear wars >;(

The only good take on China

When I was a kid working at dominos a guy came in to make an order and wanted to pay with his card and when I asked him for the card number he like physically shrank away from me and became shifty and said “why do I have to give you that?!”
