Yeah, I feel you.

If there is ONE thing I can give to Trump, it's that he's preparing the world for it.

He's destroying NATO as it exists, ruining the petrol dollar, destroying the US soft power world-wide. I don't think anyone did more for EV and solar than him the last year...

But yeah, it will be a mess. From my pov, the natural filler would be China. It as pros, it has cons. EU could gain a lot too but I really fear they won't have the wisdom to move away enough to net get caught by the blast.

We'll see I guess ^^

Will affect the whole world and, of course, people living in the US first.

I'm not saying that lightly. I live upstairs (Canada) and we would be highly impacted too.

Yet, I'm persuaded the US empire will and should fall. We need to move away from neo liberalism or we'll simply all die and/or live miserable lives. AI, ecology, war, choose your poison.

No. Trump is just a symptom .

We desperately need the US Empire to fall. They lead war all around the world for decades and most conflicts are born from them or our two precedent empires : Russian and English.

They simply have too much power and absolutely 0 ethic.

We desperately need to forbid companies owning personal homes. Thus simply should not be possible for a business to own homes.

Yeah I'm on that category. 83. Remember very vaguely Tchernobyl. For the wall, I even remember that some magazin were selling part of the wall

Don't forget Tchernobyl and the fall of the Berlin wall...

Want some ?

Too easy.

"Shareholders" is, purposefully, an abstract notion. CEO's and C-Suite in general are the willful instruments of evil.

You're talking about the brand that is paywalling the auto drive after saying they never would ?

I feel they're mostly better than the books 😐

Like in the book, Dobby's funeral are a shame. The less sentimental shit I saw in those books. She really sucks at having any other emotion than hate.

I won't even talk about the last one 😂 The first 2-3 were nice for kids.

It was, when we were kids and kinda stupid . It you take 5 mins, it's a racist and sexist cesspool and the story is pond deep.

And don't get me started on jk...

Bernard de Mandeville, 1670 - 1733. First "neo liberal" author and the man that coined the ethicless economy. I was off by 100 years tho 😁

Not to say everything was perfect and nice before, but he's one of the father of modern capitalism and the first to theorise businesses didn't have to be ethic.

For him, the virtue of the society would be a guard against the sin of the economy. Like that, businesses could focus on making as much money as possible.

Of course, it was stupid. Greed and cupidity were not magically contained...

Of course not. He's a pos of a YouTubers, he's not a genocidal maniac.

Yet, he's a proud representation of the absolute mess we're in. Some genius 200 years ago had the great idea of saying it was ok to remove any ethic/humanity from the economy. And now, we're living in a dystopian hell where it's ok to profit from misery and where empathy is a sin.

He could organise squid games to sell cereal without blinking. Empty husks profiting.

Not the problem. Most of his videos are exploiting human misery to makes a few bucks.

The dude made people torture each other, jump in burning houses to make views. That's simply pure evil and not something I intend my child to think it's normal.

Any barely good society would simply shame him out of business .

One if the very few YouTubers I forbid my kids to watch. He's pretty much a summary of what's rotten in our civilization. Such a piece of shit.

That's a very valid comment 😂

Reread your post and I "may" have misunderstood you at first 😁

You never watched TNG right ? It was literally either a philosophical lesson or a critic of society by episode ...

The size of the pool is of no importance globally. You're still creating the same amount of heat

The only real difference is that the river heat can get higher because it's more localised and, therefore, can cause more trouble along the way.

But from the pov of the ocean ? Rounding error

I see your point. It's evident valve don't have the production power of a Sony (even if they got absolutely destroyed for months for each release) or Nintendo.

I don't know if it's really a "problem" per se. They're a lot smaller as a hardware builder so they can't have the same infrastructures,I don't think the demand would be strong enough. But that certainly makes them an easier target for scalpers
