Isn’t that literally everyone who owns digital games? All your shit on Steam is a license to use the software, you don’t actually own any of those games.
I mean, I get the point, cosmetics and such and anything virtual is not tangible in the real world but let’s not pretend we aren’t all doing that with every game we spend money on.
Having said that, the amount of money companies charge for some of this stuff is outrageous. Luckily, nobody is pointing a gun to your head forcing you to buy it!
Cool so I assume you’re voting for Harris then? She obviously is the candidate who would cause less harm to the people of Gaza and Palestinians in general.
So it’d be pretty dumb to say something like that and then not try to do what you can as an individual to help (by voting for Harris).
I think it’s more along the lines of you’re being disingenuous with the lens you’re applying. Sure, the current admin, and future Harris if elected, can certainly be criticized on foreign policy around Israel and Gaza. The flip side is the context that Trump would be so much worse and doing the same shit except even worse. Harris openly discusses a two state solution.
The point is, the two presidential candidates do differ and you’re implying they don’t. Regardless of your political bent, I’m pretty far on the left side, you have to admit in reality we have a two party system and one is better for the future of the people of Gaza.
Hence, we should all vote accordingly. I think mostly it’s that you’re implying we shouldn’t vote Harris when the alternative is worse.
I miss the old internet, I’m an elder millennial so I grew up with weird old internet stuff. Seeing all sorts of crazy shit too young but by God I loved it.
It’s quite the site for basically (as far as I can tell at least) being a repo for an OS. I do enjoy the insanity of it all.

What movie did you watch? That’s a terrible take on it. I’m not sure how you could even think that’s the message. That’s like literally the opposite of the movie’s message.
No … I think they mean obviously the bourgeoisie 1% making all the real money while the rest of us fight over the scraps.
You’re being weird calling this Nazi shit. It just isn’t.
Alright well now you’re just trolling or maybe you were all along. Or you’re honestly that dumb.
Dude … Yeah the customer is the school and the decision is to go with a lower bidder, usually. It depends on the factors the customer, in this case a school system, wants to prioritize and any rules and regulations around it.
You’re just playing at semantics at this point.
Like it or not this is a private market we’re talking about. Also, I’d challenge the notion that private schools automatically have better cafeterias than public ones. It very much depends on school funding and what they can budget for.
Most educators would prefer better school lunches but the money has to come from somewhere and the way we find schools in the USA by using mostly property taxes, in most states, really causes a lot of inequality. So there is a give and take, like everything else.
At the end of the day a lot of the guidelines boil down to x calories consisting of something that has XYZ nutrients (vitamins/minerals). Whether that’s a slice of nutra-loaf or an actual meal is up to who is implementing the guidelines and the money they have.
Oh yes I forgot bidding out contracts to multiple suppliers that are private companies is … Communism?
It’s literally a failing of capitalism (cheapest bidder usually wins the contract) that the lunches aren’t better. Be mad about it if you want to, we all should be, there are absolutely problems with school lunches in many districts.
Now you could talk about how there isn’t a lot of competition and there are monopolies like Sysco in the food service industry, but still the suppliers for school lunches are privately owned companies in the USA.
they should have [thing that already exists]
Nobody reads the article though…
The coffee place by the gum wall is banging btw
Okay I didn’t watch the video until looking at your link and saw the whole “he started saying migrant wrong” bullshit and was like, “okay maybe that is what happened.”. No, this dude straight throws a hard r n word out casually, unmistakable as anything else.
I’m educated enough to know you’re either deep in a hole of disinformation / misinformation or on Russia’s side. We learned that appeasement doesn’t work with Nazi Germany and other examples, Russia being the latest.
If you know of the history and issues of Russia and Ukraine then you’d know they’re intrinsically linked to the USA and “Western” interests going pretty far back. Plus lots of trade flows through Ukraine and they export a ton of food - it’s important to lots of innocent people who are also impacted by the war even if it’s not by blood loss. The costs in lives is too high but also the costs in material, in trust, in future cooperation between nations has been eroded by Putin’s actions.
I can believe that because I think Putin doesn’t necessarily want to start WW3. But he has indicated that it wouldn’t have stopped him as well
You can’t have it both ways. It’s either he would or would not have. I think recent history has shown the exact opposite of what you claim Putin indicated. Nobody has invaded a NATO country because it works. That’s why the reaction from Finland and Sweden to this Russian invasion was to join NATO after so many years of not being a part of it even bordering the USSR. They know Putin won’t dare attack a member of that alliance. Clearly neutrality did not work when it came to Ukraine. Nor did appeasement, we’re paying for not being tougher in 2016 but the time between then and 2022 was spent strengthening Ukraine’s military precisely to stop the next occurrence of a Russian attack.
I’m not saying I have better insight about that war, but from my understanding, Ukraine shouldn’t join NATO
Well it’s a good thing that from the understanding of the people who make the choices you’re in the wrong.
I think it should be readily obvious why the USA should defend a country against an act of aggression. For one thing, violating international boundaries and seizing land through war ought to be punished. The precedent should be set that doing so brings about international rebuke and strong consequences. For another, the USA made a security guarantee to Ukraine when they gave up their nuclear weapons. We should make good on it.
Ukraine joining NATO would have prevented this war. Russia isn’t going to war with a country in NATO - just look at the Baltic states. They joined NATO to protect against a possible Russian aggression just like what’s happening now in Ukraine. That worked. It would have worked for Ukraine and it’s part of why I believe Putin pulled the trigger on this before Ukraine was in NATO.

Fascism and Marxism are very clearly defined and I assure you the government / USA establishment is about as far from Marxist as you can get.
Unless I missed the part where we all own the means of production and aren’t wage slave proletarians.
The social security agency is the same thing here. SSN is the same as your rijksregisternummer but don’t take my word for it.

It’s literally an identification number assigned at by the federal government to identify you - usually you get them at birth but not always. Depends on your parents I suppose.
You can’t say you don’t want to do something then proceed to do it. I mean, you can but obviously if you didn’t want to play the card you could have chosen not to play it.
That’s coming from someone that commits the same sin at times but I’m trying hard to curb that.
If you’re going to say you don’t want to do something just don’t do it.
Also, our civil liberties should be protected everywhere, the institution is in the wrong here. Just because someone has a particular gender identity should not matter.
