The media makes a big deal of it, as if it’s something to be proud of. Most useless, wasteful country on the planet.

Finally something we agree on.

As the other person said, rail is the way. Look up China’s high speed rail. Why would we want to do 110km/h on beat up roads when we could do 350km/h on smooth rail? Road rage or read a book? I’d much rather read a book.

Carbrain is a bugger. It took much less than a century for people to go from protesting cars to “yes please, can I have another.”

I think we can all agree that 100k is a drop in the bucket for HP.

This is definitely where a 3rd party comes into play. I buy lots of books, but if you want to be difficult there’s always an alternative way.

Samesies.

Shots fired!

Fuck yes.

2and finest in the world*

Still something to be proud of.

Are you referring to Microsoft Lists and the other awful o365 garbage? If so, I agree.

I’d like the empire to fall. That’d be mighty fine.

More needs to happen than just infrastructure changes. It’s a a giant educational issue. Individualism is pushed as being the most important thing in the west. This leads to the majority being wildly inconsiderate. Individualism is central to consumerism/capitalism. It always comes back to capitalism.

Since when are the socialists not the leftists?

Americans fought against carbrain in the 1920’s, now they’re all infected.

No way! Some chap said they legislated their way to ethical capitalism, so this couldn’t possibly be true.

I’m not sure how any westerner can complain about the prisons in the USSR with the state of the prison system in the US empire today. Spoiler alert, it’s worse in the US today.

I guess it’s time to get back to TempleOS.

Which was an excellent Linux game. -_-

Cut off the oil supply. The US is a wasteful shithole that blows through 20 million barrels/day, but only produces 13. The majority of the rest comes from Canada.
