I was thinking about the US lately. Can’t remember why exactly maybe some friends popped up on my Facebook.

But I decided it actually wouldn’t be that bad of a place to live. If it wasn’t for the toxic work culture.

If they worked normal hours and had 20+ holidays it would be alright. Other shit annoy me and you would have to make sure you live in the nice areas but I could live there and enjoy it. But the work culture is an absolute no go. Wish they were like the Aussie. Show up do hard day of work fuck off for some beers. If the surfs good call in sick and end up seeing your boss in the line up. Work hard for a few months then decide fuck it and go to Bali for a weekend accidentally stay there for two months then decide you need to go back to work because travelling is too much effort walk into a job 1 week after landing home.

I’d send them a picture of my arsehole.

Cunts.

Omg. All men are evil.

No wonder they all kill themselves. Bet women don’t get asked questions like this by people that are meant to love them.

There worse things than being a virgin.

There was a TV show. Stephen Fry 100 greatest gadgets.

For 1 he told a story about how some guy was talking to a largely uncontacted tribe and they were really interested in their tech.

So he knew they would have a supply drop and took them out to see the plane for the first time ever. The tribe was remarkable unimpressed with the sight.

The guy asked what was up and they came back with the reply “You can make fire from your fingertips. Of course you can fly”

He named the lighter the number 1 gadget.

I’m left leaning thanks.

But free speech is exceptionally important.

Brave is great.

You can be tolerant of intolerance. But its got to be about homophobia, sexism, threats of violence, and hatred of the status quo. But it only works if a minority is doing it.

The problem is the same all over Europe people are unhappy with immigration from MENA.

None of the centre or left parties will deal with it, except in Denmark and Poland which coincidentally have seen lower votes for far right parties. But that’s probably unrelated right.

So yea. Let’s decide who should be in power and what they think of is right goes and ban anyone that thinks differently.

And no, the hypothetical of the robot skyscrapers is not “meaningless.”

It’s not meaningless in itself. Its meaningless to the conversation. It’s literally a hypothetical you invented for no reason. You’re just rambling.

Are you actually trying to claim that if the population was much smaller than it is today total resource use across the globe would be the same?

Because if not my point stands.

A lot of people think rockets can be very profitable. Its just a long term bet and you lack imagination. I would need to check but I’m pretty certain spacex is profitable.

Those other companies are still in R and D.

The only billionaire I know of that is launching rockets is Elon Musk.

That’s just evidence that capitalism is efficient. Because SpaceX has revolutionised space travel making the only reusable rocket doing something all the government agencies said was impossible. NASAs new unbuilt rocket is using tech from the 1970 that they are going to throe away into the ocean on every launch.

The rest you say is meaningless. How you expect this robotic skyscrapers to be built? Some MIT masters project or some capitalist experiment?

There has been efficiency gains throughout. Capitalism is amazing for that, far better than other systems.

The problem is too many people. If standard of living is to increase then the resource requirement is due to massive unsustainable population growth.

That and the fact the public hate externalities and don’t want them used at all never mind aggressively.

You seem proud of it.

It’s so bad. You can be bang on mid BMI and people will tell you you need to eat more because you are too skinny.

People have no idea what is underweight, skinny, overweight. I would go as far as most people will think low end obese is healthy.

That’s not something to be proud of.

It really seems like it was.

They always are and they know it.

Doesn’t matter at that level it’s all part of the game.

Fake but at least it isn’t gay.

Melbourne is a city of tryhards

The point of the question is to show how limited that information actually is. Just look at how small the Wikipedia article is.

No one is denying English people have set foot on Nicaragua. But to claim that’s what the joke is about is stupid.

No one is going to hear that joke and think “hahaha that’s a about a settlement in 1633! What an absolute reference! Classic”

If you asked about British/English colonialism it would take forever for the members of the public to reference Nicaragua.
