Ugh, liberals

DragonTypeWyvern ,

Something something oral fixation

DragonTypeWyvern ,

I love that society just reinvented harems and slapped a new label on it.

DragonTypeWyvern ,

Profits are higher than ever, but line must go up so you're all fired.

DragonTypeWyvern ,

I didn't vote for him

DragonTypeWyvern ,

No, I talked with the FSM, they said the one true king of England was Wade Boggs.

DragonTypeWyvern ,

That's why he'd be such a good king!

All the tourism benefits, none of the problems.

DragonTypeWyvern ,

There's 3 anti-Ukraine symbols, actually. The red and black flag looks a bit anarchist but is actually the flag of a Ukrainian paramilitary group that sided with the Nazis.

So, not wrong on that one, but the real message is still "OP gargles Putin's fascist balls"

DragonTypeWyvern ,

Loss was first posted in 2008.

"Flashlight will only use necessary location data (for our highest possible profit)

DragonTypeWyvern ,

Imagine pretending you don't understand the value of PR and propaganda in a war.

DragonTypeWyvern ,

Followers

DragonTypeWyvern ,

I mean, there's been multiple fertility doctors caught using their own sperm instead of the donor, so it's literally possible.

DragonTypeWyvern ,

Or you clapped too long at Stalin's speech

DragonTypeWyvern ,

Lemmy.world is based in Quantico and Lemm.ee is in Fort Meade, quote me in ten years in the YouTube expose

DragonTypeWyvern ,

The question is whether she resigned or was fired as well. Her job was to protect the company, which includes not firing productive staff.

DragonTypeWyvern ,

As long as it's not the other interpretation

DragonTypeWyvern ,

It was presumably a problem in production where Elon specifically and personally fucked it up.

Based on his history of behavior.

DragonTypeWyvern ,

Good.

DragonTypeWyvern ,

Even straight women love boobs, there is SCIENCE that proves it

DragonTypeWyvern , (edited )

When your purges actually violate literally every Marxist principle and sabotage the revolution, isn't it kind of fair to accuse Bolsheviks, or at least the leadership, of being fake communists?

Stalin was a counterrevolutionary, die mad about it, we're Menshevik posting in this bitch.

DragonTypeWyvern ,

Pure Ideological Marxism Gang Will Rise Eventually

DragonTypeWyvern ,

The trick is not falling for the lie that social democracy is meeting socialism in the middle.

Social Democracy is just liberalism with enlightened self interest. Is it better than other capitalists models?

Sure. That doesn't make it the end goal.

DragonTypeWyvern ,

Traditionally the "Third Way/Position" is fascism. So, ultimately, kinda, but with race science.

DragonTypeWyvern ,

I mean, it's just literally what they call themselves. Sure, they lie or don't know what the fuck they're talking about, but that's kind of their whole deal.

DragonTypeWyvern , (edited )

If you didn't willingly ignore the sins of "your side" that'd be valid.

Meanwhile, the only criticism you launch at the Mensheviks is... They wanted to keep fighting the imperial powers?

Don't get me wrong, it was just a bad decision, but it wasn't, ya know, genociding fellow socialists.

I'd personally criticize them for thinking they needed to follow the traditional Marxist thought that economic liberalism was a required stage on the path to socialism.

DragonTypeWyvern ,

Describe what you consider the "third way" that isn't capitalists owning the means of production, workers owning the means, or the state owning the means.

DragonTypeWyvern , (edited )

The imperial powers that were direct threats to the revolution and they were already fighting, buddy, aka the Ottomans and the Germans. Hey, remind me how that worked out in the end? Did the People's Government get a seat at Versailles? No? Had to fight a war against fucking Poland first and then get even more people killed by Germany later?

And your argument is "the decision was unpopular," not that it was wrong.

You also find that they were not overthrown. Their political alliance was couped, like what happens in a "real democracy" when you push an unpopular policy. Even then, they supported the Bolsheviks anyways in the civil war.

Generally speaking, it's considered rude to murder all of your fellow socialists anyways if that happens.

DragonTypeWyvern ,

Eh, as you mentioned, it was deeply unpopular.

But yes. It would have.

Why would you think changing history would not change history?

DragonTypeWyvern , (edited )

Sure bro. I'll stop thinking "Russia having a seat at Versailles would have changed history" because it would somehow not change history, and that's something you can objectively prove, lol.

I'll tell you what definitely wouldn't have happened though.

The repeated Bolshevik genocides of Jewish people.

I'll not comment on your apparent belief that Nazism was some fated historical inevitability, which sure seems like something a Nazi would believe and not a Marxist.

DragonTypeWyvern ,

Lol

Legion posting

DragonTypeWyvern ,

Mr House is the reality of anarchocapitalism. The corporate owners become a government, and the freedom they allow extends only when it is convenient for them, and their quest to sit on a larger and larger pile of money.

As you go deeper and deeper, you find out that perhaps that goal has other purposes, but those purposes turn out to be as insane as the people they claim to be against most of the time.

House's endgoal was actually to build a rocket and leave Earth, btw. Fallout fans might recognize this goal as being the same as Vault Tec's, aka the Enclave's, aka the prewar American government and oligarchy.

Which House was a part of, as the owner of RobCo.

Don't pay attention to how he shortened Robot, btw. That was just a convenient way to name it, and has no deeper meaning.

DragonTypeWyvern ,

The Legion are raiders. They are just what happens when a raider gang gets big enough, they become a state/kingdom/empire, and the smaller tribal identities are devoured and before you know you it you're on the path to a larger national identity.

DragonTypeWyvern ,

The NCR is a direct metaphor for Westward Expansion era America, complete with democratic ideals and a reality of rampant corruption, conquest of territory and the genocide of the natives, and a brewing slavery/"sharecropping" crisis. They even have a belief equivalent to Manifest Destiny, as they consider themselves the rightful inheritors of America, sea to shining sea.

The only question is whether that means the Legion is their metaphorical Confederacy, if their Slaveholder Rebellion is coming, or if maybe it's silly to take the metaphor any deeper.

DragonTypeWyvern ,

The issue is that they didn't have FTL and House was literally delusional lol (like Howard Hughes)

That or he was planning on hitching a ride with the Zetans, but that's a deep deep lore dive that includes a lot of the phrase "according to datamined files" or "in this deleted content"

The actual Vault Tec program was designed to learn how to make a slow-drive generation ship and survive the trip, but there's no indications he was gathering Vault data or actually making something on that scale.

On the other hand, it's entirely possible he didn't look for the data because it was sent directly to him.

DragonTypeWyvern ,

The UK doesn't talk wrong, just the cockneys.

DragonTypeWyvern ,

Oh, it's his fault

DragonTypeWyvern ,

I mean, yeah, alcoholism has genetic factors and it's not like drunks are bad at breeding.

DragonTypeWyvern , (edited )

Depends on intent, motivation, and the level of negligence. Literally, there's a sliding scale.

HIPAA violations can come with jail time btw

Unless you're only a person when it comes to bribing Congress

DragonTypeWyvern ,

Bullshit, they're bluffing at best.

Average revenue per user is a pretty common industry benchmark, and the US absolutely slaughters the rest of the world. We're the fat, dumb, brainwashed cows the advertisers can't get enough of.

Is that really justified, or an example of selection bias?

Does it matter to a shareholder?

DragonTypeWyvern ,

There's a reason you couldn't actually talk about the ARPU, and that's because an American user is worth literally 7x more than a Chinese user on average. Which is why TikTok had a revenue of 16.1b in 2023, with a growing user base, and ByteDance's total revenue was 40.8b.

DragonTypeWyvern ,

This is covered canonically in the Evangelion movie

DragonTypeWyvern ,

I'd settle for interest free loans tbh...

And then do it for personal homes, too.

DragonTypeWyvern ,

TikTok had $18b in revenue last year.

They're not going to cease operating. They're going to spend $17b on lawyers.

DragonTypeWyvern , (edited )

Seems more like he's combining it with a quote:

"Arguing with idiots is like playing chess with a pigeon. No matter how good you are, the bird is going to shit on the board and strut around like it won anyways."

DragonTypeWyvern ,

Surely you mean Neo Mexico?

DragonTypeWyvern ,

The craziest thing is it was already overvalued, Elon got "forced" into selling at peak, and then tanked the company he bought with it too. Just unreal clown behavior.
