  • All bodies should be automatically given to science and organ donation upon death.

    Let me get that right. What you’re proposing is that every human is a burlap $ack full of $$$ if not ruined by cigarettes, alcohol, drugs, or cancer from micro plastics is to be given away for free with zero compensation to the grieving family and all $xx,xxx to $xxx,xxx profits for said sold organ going to some executive?

    ¡Fuuuuuuuuck that shit!

    ¿You think this kid’s knee or kidney is gonna pay for someone not in this blood line’s Ferrari?

    ¡You’re out of your god damn mind!

    My next of kin get market value of that organ or my shit gets burnt to ash and pressed into vinyl records so I can continue going to raves even after I am dead.


  • Can’t seem to find the ‘reply’ button on any comments in any threads anymore, they musta changed something… so I gotta create a top level comment now to reply.

    “So, just like the 9/11 hijacking changes everything about how people respond to a hijacking event, this changes everything about answering your door. You see someone dressed as a cop at your door, you don’t answer the door. You call 911, then have then identify the name and badge number of the cop at your door and you don’t answer the door until 911 acknowledges its a real cop at the door.

    IDK about you but after you don’t answer the door, I wouldn’t be calling 911, I’d be playing possum with a fucking loaded gun waiting to go off if the front door opens or waiting for them to leave. The guy didn’t say he had a warrant, and if the police have a warrant just one cop isn’t going to be there, it’ll be a Pride of LEOs.

    “Cool. I think he should piss on the 3rd rail.”

    ¿What the hell? It’s right there in the title, letting users OPT INTO IT as in not in the company’s discretion forced upon everyone but allowing the user to set their tolerance levels. As long as it can be set to 0 why’s this a bad thing?

    Forcing moderation ONTO everyone is vehemently opposed.

    ¿Why the fuck would anyone want to prevent an AI from filtering out nazi/csam from their own feeds?

    He’s thought of a clever way to offload the responsibility/burden of the platform/service allowing speech on it. It allows people who don’t want to see triggering content to not see it, without having to involve some third party that gets PTSD from filtering out all the vile shit humanity has to offer.






  • Being dependant on the state because it and the capitalism it serves have deliberately left you with no other choice absolutely does not preclude you from taking up a position of resistance against it!

    Absolutely not. That being said I’m also not going to bite the hand that feeds me.

    when you do they are at best just enough to live on, and at worst keep you in constant poverty.

    Being fed and housed is a blessing in this world. I’m glad I don’t have to worry about being eaten by a tiger while vultures circle me over head. I know it’s constant poverty. I know it’s not going to be upper middle class QoL ever. It’s better than being hopelessly broken under a bridge.

    I was an anarchist, then libertarian, before I finally became an independent. I fundamentally support the ideas of public infrastructure as well and police, medical, and fire department services. I simply can’t get behind ‘anarchy’ this late in my life, especially when I will becoming more dependent on others/the state the older I get especially when I am too old and frail to work.

    Anarchy won’t work pre-star-trek’s post scarcity society imho. It’s just an attractive flower for those who yearn the smell of something different than the status quo, but I suspect there will be recoil from the foul taste when it finally touches their lips.

    If you agree with the ideas of anarchism, there is nothing stopping you from calling yourself an anarchist. 🖤

    I fundamentally don’t. I believe public infrastructure should be a thing, and for that to exist, mutually agreed upon rules need to exist. Individuals can exist without rules, society absolutely cannot.
