Rioting Pacifist

Too many gifs of people shoving the redacted cube up their ass

Some of us dont want slop, censoring slop is good actually, if you want slop there are plenty of other instances.

This decision has the musk of corruption all over it.

All money is theoretical, even commodity backed money or commodities themselves are only worth what you can exchange for them, in that regard the $5 in your pocket is exactly as “real” as a stock Elon has with $5 you can both use it to purchase $5 worth of stuff.

Kind of discredits you that you made that argument.

Nah, saying shit like that actually discredits you though.

All money is theoretical money.

The larger the amount the more theoretical it is, but even the crisp $5 bill in your pocket is just the promise of violence if somebody doesn’t have enough $$$ to pay their housing costs at the end of the month or their taxes at the end of the year.

Welcome to capitalism everything you buys is the worst version someone can legally sell you for the most they can charge.

There isn’t any difference between DSA’s vision for socialism and your’s*, it’s just NYC-DSA is building a movement on a municipal level.

A city can’t abolish capitalism on it’s own, it can however build a social democratic infrastructure that allows for a larger shift.

*Assuming you want socialism and aren’t some tankie who yerns to die in a pointless revolution so the capitalist class can be replaced with the capitalist class (ML)

Both US & China’s rulling class do not think workers should get a say in our future, both will find out it doesn’t work like that sooner or later.

🤢 Ycombinator, can anyone summarize what’s going on without subjecting me to the only place worse than Reddit?

At a glance, I’d say he hasn’t been active on Wikipedia for most of the time since confounding and has tried several failed alternatives, now after all of those failed he’s mad that Wikipedia isn’t adopting his proposed changes that he presents as apolitical but given his personal politics and that all his other projects failed, I don’t blame Wikipedia for ignoring him.

In December 2010, Sanger said he considered WikiLeaks to be “enemies of the US—not just the government, but the people”.[132] In 2011, Sanger began to defend Christians as he viewed them to be unfairly attacked in the media.[3]

In September 2021, in response to U.S. President Joe Biden announcing a COVID-19 vaccine mandate for federal government employees, Sanger tweeted “Nor I.#IWillNotComply” in agreement with political commentator Tim Pool. In an earlier tweet, Sanger falsely claimed that COVID-19 vaccines are “not a vaccine”.[133] Sanger voted for Donald Trump in the 2024 United States presidential election.[11]

So it makes sense that GaryyTanCominator crowd would be upset that he’s not being listened to about how to run a successful project, maybe they should go back to bankrupting their own banks.

I’m not saying Wikipedia is perfect, in fact it’s currently far from it, and seems to be union busting it’s few paid staff, but this guy isn’t who to look for advice on anything.

Landlords used a common platform to price fix without communication between the companies and that was ruled illegal, it’s not quite the same but because of the way public LLMs don’t isolate inputs from users, you could argue that if any 2 users input their prices into the same platform they are engaging in collision as the information isn’t public.

Really we should just ban all algorithmic price setting.

True, however the first time they gave me fentanyl before they did a CT scan, they had figured it was stones but only had my pain to go off, so I suspect I got better treatment than if i’d been an equally erratic POC or woman, but hope I’m wrong and they’d give everyone similar treatment.

Nah even without that, it’s a massive improvement for people: it helps gets people off drugs & stops them ODing.

Yes we should do all of those things, but we have to stop pretending we need to boil the ocean in order to make progress.

• mental/physical healthcare
• affordable housing
• safe consumptiom sites
• stable careers

All independently have a huge impact and while they amplify eachother’s impact we shouldn’t wait on all 4 before making progress on each one individually.

Snidenote: YIMBYs (who ironically enough oppose building affordable housing) often use lack of safe consumption or jobs as an excuse to oppose affordable housing built near them.

Junkies know everything about getting meds.

Seems like an easy to fix problem: safe consumption sites

NGL as a white guy I just have to ask nicely for the good drugs and they give me opioides, granted it’s for kidney stones and it’s the most pain I’ve ever experienced, but honestly it sounds better than whatever OP was going through.

I do think I present with classic pain symptoms, I litterally can’t form sentences, which might help.

Is it illegal if they don’t collude?

The but that makes using AI illegal is if they all use a common platform/service.

He grew up in Taiwan & Thailand so in the 60s/70s so it’s possible, not everywhere was as car pilled as the US then
