  • Also can we just get rid of publicly traded stocks as well. That shit makes Capitalism explicitly worse and I'm like 90 percent sure it actively would corrupt any system it's present in at this point.

    If you want to sell stocks for mining expeditions for example then fine, but the company should be dissolved afterwards or otherwise take the total financial damages for failure.

  • Yeah this is one of those cases wherein all these rich fuckwits having their wealth tied up in stock could potentially neutralize them or at the very least fuck them up thoroughly enough that the potential for collapse still exists.

  • Honestly at this point other countries need to bite the bullet and issue total embargos on American goods, services, and flights IMO. At least until Trump is dead or out of power.

  • Does it really matter? They still have influence regardless. Unless you're suggesting one of my more bloodthirsty methods?

  • Problem is that usually the majority needs to get something out of things like this for that to work properly, IE who cares if they demolished black neighborhoods to build the freeway we got a freeway of out of it. That's not happening with data centers, nobody gets anything out of them including the oligarchs since this shit is just a resource sink and one that may get them killed at this rate.

  • The thing I find annoying is that none of them are of the opinion that we should outlaw health insurance companies and put price controls on medicine and services which would probably be unironically cheaper for everyone at this point as well.

  • Collapsing empire with too much centralized power.

  • I get your point but also that's a bias borne from the industrial and technological revolutions, it's entirely possible that we may already are seeing the slow down of large scale technological advances from every 2-4 years seeing major leaps to every ten years or more, hell I cant think of any major tech jumps over the last 10 years of particular note outside of AI (hurk) and battery/ green energy neither of which need faster internet.

  • Now now let's be fair, the feds could always default on the debt. Don't get me wrong this would almost certainly dissolve the United States, but if someone was brain dead enough they could.

    So anyone want to make a bet on whether the Allfather has gorged me with the axe of prophecy?

  • I say remerge Oregon and Washington together again, there's no real reason why the western portions of the Oregon territory were broken up.

  • Dude I barely eat half the time, regardless it's a piss poor trade given how AI is quite literally worthless to me. It could disappear tomorrow and I wouldn't notice if no one talked about it at least for the shit that these data centers are for. For all the resources dumped into this dumbfuck AI race we could've done damned near anything else and have gotten more value for it with a fraction of the economic and environmental cost, even a bridge to nowhere has better utility.

    So how's bout we go down the have no AI and do literally anything else bargain.

  • So less food variety and I get trash for the trade, are you the White run merchant buying any random crap the Dragonborn drags in by any chance?

  • Personally I got a 40 year old motorcycle. I keep fucking stalling because it doesn't have a pressurized gas tank.

  • Personally I will judge your tattoos depending on context, looking at you folks with fucking Harry Potter tattoos and fugly ass attempts to do a face. Also piercings irk me on an instinctual level, my brain registers them as injuries and I want to correct them this also applies to earrings, my solution is to avoid looking at them.

  • And if they try to bunker down cut the water and power, siege them out.

  • Yeah border patrol at least has a theoretical reason to exist, even if that purpose devolves to paper pushers but ICE is at best redundant. Really the entirety of the department of homeland security is fucking worthless and should be dissolved with maybe the twin exceptions of the coast guard and FEMA.

  • The Jedi were integrated into the Republic as a peacekeeping/ humanitarian/ advisery organization after Darth Bane more or less wiped out the Sith Brotherhood and much of the Jedi led Army of Light at the end of the New Sith Wars. Though both before and after the New Sith Wars there were points where there were Jedi chancellors or even the Jedi de facto taking over when the Republic more or less collapsed a couple time, not even getting into military leader like Revan, Surik, or Lord Hoth who held military positions within the Republic.

  • I like the dude in the top right corner who is trying to become one with the fake shrubbery.

  • Reminder it the all American sport used to be baseball which while I don't enjoy it personally is an actually functional and well made game to the point where you can listen to a radio commentary and know what's going on. Seriously why the actual fuck did football overtake baseball, it's like how MMA overtook boxing.

  • Personally I would like to participate in the motorcycle chariot race, but then again I'm a Californian Redneck so basically an Aussie alternative.
