Neo-liberals and capitalists would rather have a fascist state than a socialist state

the main thing that gives bagels their texture is the highly developed gluten - the water is just to prevent the crust from becoming crispy basically

gay people feeling like they have to be homophobic as performative heteronormativity is more sad than funny to me, but different strokes for different folks I suppose

it’s not, though - in europe, the term “roll” encompasses much more baked goods than it does in the US I assume, because to me bagels are a kind of roll, hope that makes sense. I guess it’s kind of like how biscuits are different to americans also.

oh, I’m all in favour of legalizing it, don’t get me wrong, but I see the “we could raise more money by taxing it!” as a bad thing - more wealth for the state just means that the people in power have more resources. I think it would be far better to legalise it, but only when you buy it from a sole individual, and make it illegal for corporations to profit from the drug trade. far better for everyone!

the guy you were responding to was talking about a distributed network, and I’m assuming he was thinking about hosting an instance on his laptop for himself, not something that was intended to single handedly replace all of youtube? but either way that wasn’t me so I dunno why you replied like I said it

would have been funny if you had started arguing with yourself in the replies

they were just saying that adhd can make it harder to start activities even if you like them, but saying it in a jokey way, that’s all. it wasn’t personal.

I don’t think you really know what you’re talking about. Assuming a 1gbps network connection I could quite easily stream 4k video to dozens of people from a laptop, easily. Why do you think that would be difficult? Where would the bottleneck be?

in theory I like the idea but in practice, at present, it would just lead to even more centralised authoritarian control of the internet. abolish capitalism and the rest will follow

I had Youtube Premium - actually I think it was the family subscription - for a year or two. I cancelled it maybe a year ago, because they kept pushing shorts with no way of opting out, they jacked up the price, and they changed the algorithm in a way that made it keep recommending shit that I never, ever wanted to watch. I cancelled that sub and figured out how to get ads blocked on my desktop, phone and apple TV and I’ve showed 10+ people how to get that working since.

So good job on that mission you’re on Google. Really making some money I bet.

so the state has more wealth that it can use to bomb innocent people? no thanks

no, not aliens, it’s something real and pretty obvious, you suffer the pain of it every day

No mate, there isn’t one billionaire family that runs everything. That’s way too simple. The problem is much larger. The question you have missed is what is above the Rothschilds?

No, it’s not the Rothschilds or the Jews… keep looking for what it might be!

no, they’re completely unrelated, some devs liked the name java and put it into the name of the new language they were working on, nothing beyond that
