This criticism only really works when it's a woman speaking of their personal experience with men, not when it's someone making a generalisation about all men.

Nothing was brought into the conversation, it was an all men/ not all men thing from the beginning.

Take that moffat you fuckin coward.

Eh? State? Municipal? I'm talking about Wallingford in Oxfordshire.

Wallingford huh, I worked on an industrial estate by a Lidl there and it fucking sucked.

Thanks for the formatting, helps me a lot. I'll do my best to have the discussion you want.

• If it's your opinion it's your opinion. I don't think that 'wanting more power over more things' is something inherent to socialism. All governments take power over things when they think it's necessary. A particularly controversial example would be abortion restrictions. That is an extreme intrusion by a government into the literal organs of its citizens but to a religious capitalist it makes sense. Need more workers and more consumers after all.

• I don't see that there's any meaningful difference between an interest free loan and a subsidy. Say the farmers don't pay up and ask for another loan, are you gonna starve on principle?

• Lots is wrong with dirt roads, they're just inefficient. So much money and resource spent on fixing and maintaining vehicle suspensions and the extra time needed to go slowly which is all unnecessary with a proper road. I love trains but they can't do everything, we're not running tracks to every home in order for the mail train to come deliver your package etc.

As for private parties, this is also just the least efficient way to do things. Roads need to be compatible with each other, have the same spacings the same areas for communal services like electricity water and gas and so on. Who's gonna enforce all that with no profit motive? It would have to be a government entity, at which point the government might as well just build the roads in the first place and charge everyone a general usage fee, but since it's a government this is called 'Road tax' and is already implemented in most European countries. This isn't even socialism it's just the basics of what governments are for: taking care of 'societal chores'.

Your point is not very coherent, I'm struggling to understand you due to how much you've written and the lack of formatting.

Some brief things to pick out:

• Corruption is not just a socialist thing it's everywhere. India has huge corruption problems and is capitalist.

• Taxes are not 'accepted feudalism' they are the basis of communal living. Even anarcho-capitalists recognise the need for roads and farming subsidies.

• You're right that good can be done in any system but the idea of all of this is to find a system that encourages good and discourages greed. If we could rely only on everyone just deciding to be good there would be no need for any politics. You'll notice this has never happened in millions of years of human existence.

Taped to my balls.

I remember when i first started using GIMP the thing that threw me the most was that there was no 'safe default' state that you could get to by pressing escape, like 'select' is for other programs.

If you think this is a small thing consider that escape/back is one of the only 3 default controls on phone UIs. It's super important and Gimp doesn't have it.

On your link there, I'm sorry to say the author is making a very silly argument. It boils down to 'if you see a specific race in this racist caricature then you're the real racist'. This would only be true if racist caricatures were a new thing never seen before. It's akin to saying 'oh i didn't mean black people when i screamed the n- word. You're the racist for thinking the n- word refers to black people'.

That's an extreme example but you see my point that there's a history that's being ignored.

Worth pointing out, this specific kind of attack targets a device based on its mac address and sends it shedloads of junk requests. There is no chance of it interfering with emergency wireless transmissions.

That said, i agree it's not OK to mess with other people's devices like this.

Yeah except the focal point of those mirrors is measured in meters not 100s of kilometers. You can't use them to focus on something that far away.

We only work on orthographic! Specifically isometric.
