His passionate denial of being a Nazi leads me to think his belief in a total police state is sincere.

Well, the probably imprison less people because they are functioning much better as a society. The question is if imprisoning people is better than not imprisoning them in this fucked up society.

I’m in the US, but we generally lock up and/or deport way too many people; incarceration causes more problems than it solves, and serving white supremacy is the main social goal and outcoe.

But I think this is a separate conversation. The anti-gambling laws I’m talking about are the ones that would prevent constant Draft Kings advertisements and all the money that gets fed back into our political system. We’ve got so far away from acknowledging the damage that gambling causes, and gambling, as far as I’m concerned, is just a mugging with extra steps, yet paid propaganda has papered over the criminality.

I honestly wonder if there isn’t a deeper history. Gambling is a part of human culture and the only recent thing that’s happened is our society has become so corrupt that gambling is being allowed to legally flourish.

Like bank deposit insurance, vaccines, and clean water standards, anti-gambling laws are something society is reminded it needs only after they are gone.

The weird trope is the hero that kills hundreds of henchmen but then refuses to kill the villain–the person most responsible for all these deaths–on ethical grounds.

At least Bats is consistent.

Welp, time to reset my fingerprint… again.

Nice pin in the balloon, bro.

Submarines can swim underwater, too, just like humans. So if we put a plow on the bridge of a submarine and had it interface with an LLM, we’d basically have a super human.

I also salute your courage in defending her. Truely selfless act of sacrrfice. You are my personal hero.

My wit is but a pale shadow of this made up woman’s courage.

I guess we should just applaud?

It’s good she said something, I agree. She could also have said something better, and mine came after about 7 seconds, not hours.

Sutton Hoo mecha made with Ulfbehrt steel. Unstoppable.

Maybe you’re not talking to enough 14-year-olds to capture a fair sample of reddit’s population?

Hilarious. Press has gotten so bad for Microsoft they’re stooping to this, which is only Streisand-effecting.

Is that really the best line? She has to leave to take advantage of it.

Maybe, “hey, how’d your husband’s parole hearing go?”?

Are you counting the Eastern Empire? There’s an argument that our view of “Rome” is obnoxiously Eurocentric. The economic lifeblood of the Empire was mostly outside of Western Europe, and lots of wheat from Egypt.

THANK YOU! I FOUND THIS VERY INSPIRATIONAL! CONSIDER BOOKING AN APPEARANCE ON OPRAH!

I wish I was driven by a love for people like Orwell. My political motivations are a bit more abstract. I’m more driven by a hatred of systems.

I’d say so. Seems like college is just an over priced high school diploma these days.

Do you find yourself citing Gramsci in conversation, tho?

“the bourgeouis Communist” oof, i felt that.

anybody here NOT go to college?
