Hopefully one day society can lift itself to your lofty ideals of tasteless food, oppressive surveillance and no crimes against the state. I wonder if anyone has written about such a world before.

“The state should replace community” is an interesting take. What other powers should be added to the state? Should they cook our food too? Do you think there’s any downside to the government having these powers?

You think someone in California making 200k is paying an overall 30% in combined federal and state taxes? That seems out of touch with reality to me.

It seems like not quite. The width is 50 some inches but the wheel wells are there so you may need some 2x4 or something to keep plywood from flexing over them. And the length of the bed isn’t near 8 feet so you’d need the bed open and the

No I think nazis killed millions of people and “woke” has done nothing remotely similar.

by cherry_tree 3mo ago
You are equating them right here. Calling them equal opposites is equating them. It implies woke is just as bad as nazi.

by cherry_tree 3mo ago
From my and seemingly others’ reading, you have equated Nazi and woke very directly in your comments. Do you feel you have you not?

I think “amount of houses” misses many important parts of how people decide where to live and what they struggle with that results in unaffordable or unavailable housing. Where do you increase supply? The most desirable places to live like

It isn’t strange in 2026 to wonder if an internet comment is from a human. Tech workers have been laid off (without pips) en masse for the past 24 months, so it seems like I’m talking to a model trained in 2023 to be so absent of the obviou

You haven’t experienced the last 2 years of layoffs across the tech industry? Do you have any friends in the industry? Do you avoid news about the industry?

There is very little debate that you should be taxed proportionally to your total wealth; I.e. that the rich should pay more than the poor. In fact the only people trying to debate this are the rich who want to avoid paying back towards th
