I had the same thought lol. Especially if there was enough space to put up a workshop next to it.

I am working on 100% RDR2 and the last bit I have to do is the gambling challenges. The last blackjack one is to win after hitting 3 times or something ridiculous like that. I sat there just playing blackjack through all 3 Robocop movies just hitting on every hand as fast as possible and I still didn’t get it.

They just pass those problems on to their customers these days.

Usually I don’t notice but it was pretty jarring in Book of Boba Fett. The guy was all dusty living in a desert and then he smiles and his teeth are blindingly white. I was like… Damn Disney you can’t afford the makeup department to dirty those up a bit?

Without ambition and drive people would still be living in caves. You think someone’s going to learn science or medicine without ambition or drive?

I haven’t watched any significant amount of TV in 12 years let alone news channels. I don’t need some jabbering moron with an agenda to tell me how I should feel about things I can observe with my own eyes. I wasn’t even initially talking about people receiving government assistance, I was talking about my coworkers I’ve had at various jobs. It’s always a situation where the few are carrying the many and whatever their reason for being lazy, the outcome is more work and problems and stress for their fellow workers. It’s selfish as fuck. I’m not exactly the pinnacle of mental health myself but I power through it when necessary so I don’t create problems for others.

I’ve found that if I can mask long enough to prove my competence people overlook my being a fucking weirdo when it slips off. I do work in IT though so I’m kind of middle of the pack as far as weirdos go.

The only ones that really bother me are the ones that go through the center part of their nose like a cartoon bull. I can’t stop thinking about them getting crusty when you have a runny nose and it grosses me out.

You create impossible standards for women because you’re secretly a closeted gay man.

I create impossible standards for women because I’m scared of rejection.

We are not the same.

There’s more ads now than back in the day too. Used to be like one ad break per show. Now it seems like it’s 50% show 50% ads with banner ads on the bottom of the screen and pop up shit and all kinds of garbage. I can’t stand watching actual TV.

It was forbidden for laypeople to own or translate the bible for hundreds of years because the church wanted to control the message.

The bribes were indulgences you paid to the church to forgive your sins.

A huge part of the bible is about being submissive, obedient, and turning the other cheek. The whole point of organized religion is to keep the masses under the yoke of the powerful.

Eat the rich and obey the Lord (who speaks through the church of course, so obey the church, you’ll just have to trust us on that one. Also give us money or you’re going to hell).

A broken leg is a temporary condition. As soon as it’s mended I would be back at it (if not before, I also have computer skills that would not be inhibited by a broken leg). Laziness is a personality issue and they will not overcome it if they just have everything they need handed to them.

I’m more than happy to contribute to benefit the group. I don’t consider enabling freeloaders to be a benefit. If I want to feed someone that sits around not doing anything all day I’ll get a cat.

A person unwilling to even pick up after themselves or contribute would still be guaranteed housing, food, and health care, but that’s about it.

And who is having to work extra to pick up their slack? That housing, food, and healthcare all require labor from others.

Which part of what I said is not true? My point was most people are fucking lazy and will do everything they can to leave shit to be done by others. I’m always the one at my job cleaning up after other people’s fuckups and the one people go to for answers because I actually made the effort to learn everything. Under capitalism this is noticed by my superiors and I’m top of the list any time a promotion becomes available and I have an in if I’m trying to get hired at a different company and people I know have went there resulting in more pay for me than my coworkers who don’t make an effort in their work. Under a system where everyone is just given what they need I would be getting the exact same life as people who are doing far less than me.

Also how can you say overpopulation is a myth and simultaneously say there are finite resources in our world? Finite means we will run out.

Yea, it’s really hard to get my head around any kind of communist type of ideals when I know I’d be doing 3x the work of pretty much everyone around me for the same outcome as them. Not that capitalism is much better but at least with that I get SOMETHING more to show for my efforts

A fuckload of people are really going to have to make an effort to get their shit together for that to happen. As things stand the majority are dead weight.

I live in a basement so it stays a little cooler but I was sitting at 77ish all summer last year with the Windows open and AC vents closed. I have never been so comfortable. Before I did that my housemates were freezing me out with the AC. I was walking around in a sweatshirt when it was 95 outside. Coincidentally both of them are overweight.

Those only last like 2 weeks around here.

this one used to fuck me up sooooo much.
