Wow. Talk about moving the goal posts. You’re not even taking about the same thing anymore.

If you just wanna bitch about something, uh, then go in with your bad self. Or something. But rather than even attempt a rebuttal to any of the points raised in this thread, you’ve literally completely changed the scenario being discussed.

Like, why even bother replying? Your whole tirade doesn’t even make sense in the context of the thread…

There’s this whole scene in Dune: Prophecy about how we as humans have to expend extra effort to be able to lie, how it doesn’t come naturally and the body resists in different ways.

I think that’s what the line is saying…

Umm, you just insulted the intelligence of the person you replied to.

‘/s’ would not have. The whole idea of hating on using ‘/s’ is stupid and useless.

Obviously not, you still have brains enough to type.

Do you… actually think you’re funny?

Holy shit that’s fucking sad

Oh. So it’s not actually funny. Got it.

I don’t get it. Care to explain what exactly is humorous about your “joke”?

Hopefully you can enlist the aid of somebody with significant tech/computer knowledge. If you can, it could be useful to “dox” this individual. A vindictive cracker can come up with all sorts of ways to make his life difficult until he gives up.

In the meantime, document EVERYTHING. This is absolutely crucial if you ever attempt to get some kind of protective order through the courts. Often, as long as you’ve clearly communicated that you desire zero contact, then no matter how “politely” they word things, continued attempts to contact you should count legally as harassment.

Finally, this is not mild. This is the mindset of an abuser. Please stay safe, no matter what you do!

My favorite recently was when a friend said, “Reap the fruit of my loins”.

Umm, wtf?

By definition, this law is authoritarian in its very nature. Far right wing extremism at it’s finest. But only to protect the people from…far right wing extremism???

Umm, sure, if you say so dude. Or, wait a minute, no, you’re completely off your rocker. Like, what the fuck…

Yes, sew much effort

I just keep my master password written on a piece of paper tucked into my wallet.

Hell, I’m pretty sure I don’t actually like any of you! 😝😎

This type of parasitic, even sociopathic behavior is directly rewarded in capitalism, though. Kinda figure that’s all they meant.

Also, it capitalism is anywhere, it’s everywhere. Or this is at least true as long as the United States is in the picture…

“Have you tried turning it off and back on again?”

But, no, that is good advice. I haven’t seen mention of full shutdown of the laptop, either, but mostly been skimming the comments so…

I am pretty sure what you’re looking for is called Waydroid.

Find a shop sells games like Dungeons & Dragons or Magic: the Gathering, stuff like that.

Even if you don’t play, you have a high chance of crossing paths with nerds (autistic folk, if you will). This could give you human connection in your life.

Near as I can tell, that’s the only god damn reason to be on this Earth. Hang out with other humans.

What are you talking about? People definitely buy homes as an investment so that they can sell it and retire.

That’s insurance. The “profit” goal is not to rent seek or enrich themselves. And in this market it’s a risky gamble, anyways.

If the so called profit is intended to be entirely consumed to take care of moving or retiring, it’s insurance to allow you to move or retire; it’s not profit you add to your income. It’s not even properly described as “profit” since it’s, by definition, unrealized gains.

These are not circumstances where you “cash out” and buy something fancy, or even pay your day to day bills. Context matters.

The context here is quite different; in other words, you got an apples vs oranges issue here. A single home owner does not expect to profit from that investment; the increase in value is more of an insurance than anything (mortgages are taken out to cover emergencies, or the increase in value provides the means to move to a new home, etc). So, again, the context is extremely different.

Besides, if the expected inflation in value were the issue, shouldn’t I expect increased wages to make up the difference? I.e. no, that would not contribute to making the housing market too expensive for the average person to find accessible.

No. That’s not relevant in the end. Because you would never even think of trying to run a business like this unless the economies of scale work in your favor. And once that happens, there literally isn’t any fucking risk left.

The so called “risk” taken by capitalists is nothing more than a brazen lie. Besides, I don’t give a fuck either way; none of this justifies me getting exploited so those fuckwits can have a pissing match over who can kill the planet first.

I will never so much as play devils advocate for sociopathic assholes. I don’t want to understand their perspective. The results of their actions prove their true intent.
