It’s kind of a shitty comment. I’ve needed to lift 400lbs and going scratch in golf is a lifetime achievement. Gender is irrelevant for those things…if you can do them, you’re an awesome human.
It’s not threatening if a girl can do those things. I’ve met women that can out squat me and will utterly smash me in golf (from the same tees). They were great people.
Yeah, right, someone went through all that effort
You’ve seen Robocop Scene 27 right? Yes…someone will absolutely go through that much effort.
once currency has no meaning.
You really think those bunkers are filled with cash Scrooge McDuck style? They’ll have food, guns, and likely lots of gold. They’ll also very likely be sustainable.
Keeping the mercs fed and happy is a trivial thing.
Unfortunately their house of cards is built on a foundation of wealth…and not just fuck you money, but literal centuries of fuck you money.
The fortune 50 I worked for could literally stop doing all business and maintain their current spend for a century and still be solvent.
This isn’t unstable at all…it’s built to last for 100s of years…the current leaders to their grandkids will be safe.
To further that…the 1% have private armies and well stocked bunkers to ride out any social uprising. That’s the really scary stuff.
We are all fucked though. Enjoy the hunger games.
It’s the natural end for a free market. The big players take over and squeeze every drop of blood they can from the consumer class until the inevitable collapse or B&L buys the government.
There’s not a lot to discuss really…both sides are utterly evil. One side used women and babies as a shield, the other side pulled the trigger.
Both actions are indefensible and pure evil.
Just don’t say centrist too loudly and you’ll be ok I guess.
I’m left leaning center these days.
Really? I just kind of come here when I really want to feel bad about myself. This community is twice as toxic as reddit if you’re not part of the group think.
Yes, there was a news story about these people. It was 4 or 5 years ago. They were tying to get grants from our local government so they could continue to rent their properties so cheap.
They were playing themsleves off as a mom and pop that just wanted to help the community.
Ends up they owned something like 8 houses and 2 24 unit rental properties and were taking in profit on the rise in real estate all while getting grants for their good will.
The point is, landlords, by their nature, are not good Samaritans.
We had a pair of those in my area. They were famous for “affordable housing”.
End up the pair was worth 12 mil from cashing in on all their “goodwill.”
I’ll take the average immigrant’s reading level over the average conservative’s reading level.

There’s a bunch of other studies out there that back that number…It’s always generally 20% can’t read at all…50% can’t do critical analysis of text.
It’s really ugly…Those people all vote, and I think it helps explain how the most vile ridiculous demons the R’s put out there get 30%+ of the vote. It’s extremely hard to refute lies when the person consuming and believing the lie can’t read.
It’s only going to get worse. 20% of the US is illiterate. 50% can’t read above a 6th grade level.
Read that again.
1 in 2 people can not read above a 6th grade level.
That is a fucking insane statistic.
That may have been sarcastic, but I appreciated the info. It beats having to take a shower.
the separated from the toilet kind.
I don’t understand how those work at all…seems like that would be a recipe for poop tracks from the toilet.
All this to say, I think there’s weird cultism around the android ecosystem that is, to me, offputting.
As someone that has lived through the wax and wane of the iCult…I find that statement hilarious.
Eh, grab a big fur and a metal rod of some sort…you get static electricity that way.
It’s a good natured insult, but still an insult. Just because a group uses a word to describe it’s self doesn’t suddenly absolve the negativity associated with that word.
I have lived in poor areas more than once. They were not crime ridden.
Lol…no…no you haven’t lived in a poor area. Nice try though.
Most people think this, however this is the Internet where minorities shout the loudest.
