What’s Merz but a secondhand emotion

It’s a like $3000 hat. They wear them every Saturday evening as they walk around. From what I understand it’s like a bit of a keeping up with the joneses based on how big and fancy and expensive your Saturday hat is.

Ew at her age she could be your stepsister

That’s just what they do. Because they’re cruel.

Adorable, but I see you’ve raised the stakes

Tortie-off!

Or just don’t forget to backup yourself

Hell, in the us right now they’re doing it without warrants

Woah woah woah slow down explain yourself

So your point, if I can describe it, is that the system should be amended. It’s a Ship of Theseus matter. How much can you change capitalism before it’s not capitalism?

We’re basically saying the same thing, minus any bootlicking on my part. I’m saying if you have a constantly evolving system that has different values and a different focus, capitalism should have basically been “bred” out of existence at this point. We’ve reached industrial satiation. Rapid expansion is now a cancer, not a benefit. But, like in the body, growth and change are natural. But when the individual parts start outgrowing the world, you’ve got a cancer. And that’s the stage of capitalism we are at. But, as you and I have both said, if you had amended the system as time went on, we wouldn’t have capitalism today.

Why does it have to be a single economic system? The answer isn’t an existing economic system because economic systems are broken from the jump. The answer is a constantly evolving system, moving toward the betterment of all, not the betterment of the few. Capitalism may have been the economic system for the Industrial Revolution/subsequent time—I think that’s up for debate, but any pro capitalist will tell you it’s great for innovation (which, nah, but sure let them have it). But after the period in which capitalism helped people progress, its time was over. We should have moved past it to keep it from getting corrupted. But we haven’t and look where we are now

What’s more than that, chatbots use those words because writers use those words. That’s journalist vocab. And bots were trained on articles and written speech. I think you’re right, people just weren’t reading anything.

There’s a story I heard on smash reads Reddit about a woman whose bf was faking a deep gravelly voice for the two years they were together. She said his real voice sounded like a joke muppet voice…so she laughed when she first heard it, reconfirming his worst insecurities about his voice. Rough.

…but my point is explaining how everyone is complicit and how things have gotten to where they are is a long and complex history. Saying it’s complicated and saying Israel has committed genocide are not mutually exclusive. Most people actually don’t understand it, or could give a half accurate representation of the situation if asked. And that includes people who claim to have strong feelings, whether true or otherwise. In fact I’d argue asking really any follow up questions would leave a majority stumped, only a minority could give you more. It’s complex, end of. All genocides actually are. It doesn’t change the fact that they’re genocides.

You’re only thinking about the violence aspect, but we’re more discussing the geopolitics of the region. It’s not only complicated because Palestinians defended themselves— that kind of thinking is what serves Israel. It’s complicated because there is a long history of border drawing by colonialists, incoming and outgoing governments, a history of backstabbing particularly by the Israelis…complex news doesn’t serve anyone but just accurately describes a geopolitical conflict.

If you flush with the lid up you’re gross and I hate you

But it also costs the world because fuck chatgpt

Saying the history isn’t complex is just stupid though. You can identify that the history is complex without taking away from the fact that there’s a genocide going on.

And who exactly are these leaders working on behalf of? Because it sounds like this absolutely dogshit deal favors the Russians and gives them everything they want. They’re holding Ukraine at gunpoint and threatening them to accept a very unfavorable deal. With the Russians beside them.

I always said this was a scheme to charge us more. I’ve never heard anyone else say that
