They’re heroes

Superman is usually better at controlling collateral damage than younger and less optimistic heroes. There are great examples of this in Superman Vs The Elite and Superman (2025)

I thought the Alt-Right Insurrection on Jan 6th, 2021 was so blatantly anti-democratic that Trump would have no chance of winning in 2024. I was clearly wrong.

You overestimated the intelligence of both the Democrats and the voters. The Democrats are too feeble-minded to appeal to the voters, and the voters are too narrow-minded to suck it up and vote anyway.

Reagan enacted gun control in California

If only we were so lucky. Americans aren’t going to stop this themselves, the rest of us need to arm ourselves and prepare to defend each other

It’s 5% now

Holy shit, will AI cause the Linux renaissance?

Blackface Kardashian

We’ve been in a recession for years

He died. This is mickey8

We need to prepare for WWIII. America won’t stop until they control the world.

Well that seems like a pretty easy hypothesis to test. Why don’t you log on to chatgpt and ask it what will happen if you let go of a helium balloon? Your hypothesis is it’ll say the balloon falls, so prove it.

Well that’s simple, they’re Christians - they think human beings are given souls by Yahweh, and that’s where their intelligence comes from. Since LLMs don’t have souls, they can’t think.

I am, I hate pineapple on pizza that much

If it was hawaiian I’d assume the latter

Take for example “toxic masculinity”. Literally taken, that word means that masculinity is toxic.

Does “hawaiian pizza” imply that all pizza is from Hawaii, or just that this one particular pizza here is from Hawaii?

Coward.

I think it’s ethically okay to objectify this “woman”

Means of production are owned by both Affini and independents.

Only to the extent permitted by the Affini. You must understand, in Medieval Europe, most men over 30 had practical ownership of their means of production. Take a farmer as an example. As a young man you would work as a farmhand on an older farmer’s land, and your future wife-to-be would work as a milkmaid. Once you’ve both completed your apprenticeships, you would marry, and you would receive a dowry from your wife’s family which would permit you to inherit or establish your own farm. The land would be yours to work, and you would profit by your own labours and those of your family.

But the land would also be owned by the local lord, in much the same way that a modern corporate farm “owns” land that is also owned by the local government. The local baron would extract taxes from you as tithe for allowing you to work his land. You would be the only peasant permitted to work it; you would have sovereign domain with respect to other peasants, but the threat of state violence would ensure your efforts benefitted your superior.

The land and tools afforded to “independent” vassals of the Affini compact are permitted to be used with a great deal of freedom, but the threat of violence is implicit in the arrangement. The Affini are master. That is why I say the Affini follow a feudalist economic model. The Affini have a monopoly on the use of legitimised violence. De Facto, even if not De Jure, they own everything. The Compact is about as “communist” as the USSR, or modern China.

You look interesting. Have you read Glitch by Jenna Moran? It’s an RPG about retired void gods.
