I didn't read him as saying that though. He is not stating that capitalism is better, he stating that human greed will corrupt every system.

There have to be safeguards in place to stop the greed. And yes, there might be safeguards in one anarchist collective, but not another one that gets greedy and wants to take over your collective and has bigger guns.

Fighting against greed is an ongoing project no matter what political system you are under. Switching systems does not miraculously solve this.

Shit. I didn't read your comment as a joke initially and almost had a mini-rant about how we know if a server 3 provinces away is down for 5 minutes and go into a red alert.

That was dumb of me. Carry on.

Pretty piss-poor "24 hr. service" from OVH. We're an MSP and will make sure to steer clear of them for future projects.

Glad to see everything back however!

Man, I love Spider-Man, but this looks super rough. The jokes are horrendous.

Data - Don't Sing

Murders. I don't want to spoil any more than that because it has a twist.

Yeah that's a really good example, this entire comment right here. Don't do this.

Just FYI, as per their own terms you can cancel up until it ships.

This is a damn good question that I would also love an answer to!

Not great. Sort of lost my will to post after a bunch of experiments over at !actual_discussion@lemmy.ca

If I post pure questions in the weekly thread, generally one or two people respond. Political or not, it doesn't seem to matter.

If I post questions with some opinion added, people respond more frequently to those (even if I do not believe the opinion), but we get scads of aggressive comments and downvotes which buries the thread quickly.

To top that off, if I respond in other threads in Lemmy, I get people digging up the weekly threads (or responses therein) and trying to use those as ammunition against me. It's super disheartening.

Hispanics have a very high population of religious voters and many of them don't believe in abortion. For many religious people, even if they disagree handily with everything else the Republican party does, they will not vote Democrat because of the abortion issue.

There was a pretty large research study and a bunch of podcasts on it.

Grabbed the podcast! More detail never hurts. Much appreciated.

usufruct

So... reading the Wikipedia article on it for more info, it doesn't seem to place any limits on what you can own. It simply lets you makes allowances for others to use something of yours. It doesn't seem to mention forfeiting unused property in the least.

It's basically just being a landlord, but with other stuff, no? I'm not following how this isn't corruptible unless there's something I'm missing.

Me too. It's faster than texting and gives you a whole lot of missing context.

I read up on it, but I'm not sure how that's immune to greed. Are you able to explain?

No political system is perfect. Ever.

They require constant vigilance. They require battling. Human greed is capable of corrupting every system that a human mind can create.

Anyone that tells you they have a perfect political system that would never need fixing is a liar, an idiot, or both.

Have you ever smelled a beefy desiccated detached dick before? Cool. Now cover that in dog spit eight or nine times and let it dry in between.

It smells like that.

All good! Up until the twist I really did enjoy the movie. It's well shot, it just kind of felt like a betrayal at the time.

I absolutely love horror movies and have a few lined up from the last thread to watch next. Hell House LLC, Lake Mungo, Longlegs, The Blackcoats Daughter, Color out of Space, Mandy, and the two most recent VHS movies are on the docket before the end of the month.

I have a furious fucking hate for this movie.

As someone who was routinely abused by religious family members who told me how evil I was, I went to the movie thinking I would see some kind of payback to these definitely evil characters.

Then the movie said "lol jk. The religious assholes were right because God said so."

Absolutely spot on, though I didn't find it edgy. The third season was mediocre and the fourth was kinda bad.
