Count_Drachma 11/24/22 11:07:44 PM #30 | BlackScythe0 posted... lol there is some insanity for us. Considering that Americans defended Obama and PRISM, there's plenty of insanity in the US. Imagine thinking it's okay to spy on an entire country... well, you don't have to imagine, since you defended it. And advocated against the man who broke the news. BlackScythe0 posted... Is he suggesting that Obama didn't actually have Osama bin Laden killed? No, I'm saying among the other innocent people the Obama administration murdered while pursuing Osama, there was a drone strike against a person reportedly the same height as Osama. And I don't need to say it because the news reported it. And it's insane that you'd try to falsely claim what you just did, considering that same post discusses how the Obama administration subverted and exploited aid groups to kill Osama, which led to distrust of those groups and countless deaths in the region as a result. BlackScythe0 posted... Also lol at Trump implementing far left policies. The travel ban was literally a policy Obama put together.

Topic | In retrospect did Donald Trump go to DC and fight for everyday Americans? |
Count_Drachma 11/24/22 11:00:38 PM #28 | He fought for everyday Americans every bit as hard as Obama, GWB, and Biden, if not harder. However, he also faced unprecedented obstructionism that made the treatment of GWB and Obama (who benefited from a super-majority during part of his term) seem tame. And a portion of the far-left was programmed to hate him from the get-go given the propaganda machine was going at full force to keep an outsider from getting into the White House. This included attacking Trump for implementing Obama policies that the far-leftists supported when Obama was talking about doing. More so, for all the hypocritical claims of tyranny, it wasn't Trump who prosecuted more whistleblowers than any previous president, it wasn't Trump who tapped journalists' phones, it wasn't Trump who raided news offices, it wasn't the Trump administration that tortured Chelsea Manning (a LGBT whistleblower), and it wasn't the Trump administration that went after Edward Snowden with reckless abandon. All of that was Obama, who the far-leftists continue to defend, even after the Obama administrated murdered a wedding procession, a man who was the same height as Osama bin Laden, and exploited international aid groups which ultimately made COVID relief that much harder in those regions. --- Everybody's got a price / Everybody's got to pay / Because the Million Drachma Man / Always gets his way.

Count_Drachma 11/24/22 11:58:51 AM #10 | So far I just bought a pair of Switch games (the Capcom fighting collection and the Cowabunga Collection) for $25 each. Probably should just buy them on Steam, but... idk. Granted, I'm also not sure when I'll actually play them, but I want to make more of an effort. hypnox posted... Nothing. Because if I would only buy an item if it was on sale, then I don't need it. I'm not sure if that was an intentionally stupid remark or an unintentionally stupid remark, although it was a stupid remark all the same. If you have the choice of paying more for something vs less -- when everything else is equal -- what benefit is there to the paying more? And most things people buy on Black Friday, etc, aren't what anybody needs. They're just wants. And most things are zero urgency. A lot of games I pick up generally aren't even played within the same year (and it's the same for a lot of entertainment). --- Everybody's got a price / Everybody's got to pay / Because the Million Drachma Man / Always gets his way.

Topic | What happened to television? |
Count_Drachma 11/24/22 5:23:19 AM #11 | Nichtcrawler-X posted... Same with regular tv. Completely wrong. Unless a show gets canceled, a normal program lasts a set duration. Because a streaming show isn't intended to fill a block or time slot for a certain time-frame. It's probably more true of the US than other nations -- particularly since the BBC has 2-episode seasons of some shows -- but it's fairly consistent as a general rule. But the BBC also doesn't so much have "seasons" as what it calls "series," so there's far less consistency. A normal tv show's seasons tend to be roughly the same length throughout the run unless they run into production troubles or ratings issues. However, a streaming show can have an 8-episode season, followed by a 2-episode season, followed by a 20-episode season... and the episode lengths can vary dramatically, without needing to compensate. --- Everybody's got a price / Everybody's got to pay / Because the Million Drachma Man / Always gets his way.

Count_Drachma 10/23/22 7:11:41 AM #26 | Gaawa_chan posted... Being beaten and raped is not part of their sentence. You start reasonable but then go on a bizarre side-rant. First off, even state-run prisons have people profit off incarceration. Second, the "profit" in private prisons comes from the state paying people to take prisoners, as well as charges that would be incurred in a normal prison, too. While there are good reasons to get rid of private prisons, it seems like most people in here don't understand how they fucking work and are conflating their features with normal prisons. And, honestly, solitary tends to be better than being put in the general population where there's the risk of rape and violence. However, solitary is more expensive, so it's not as widely-used. jiffdiff posted... I hope they outlaw compelled jury duty and military service as well.

Topic | 5 US States to put different forms of 'Slavery' on there Ballots... |
Count_Drachma 10/23/22 7:09:51 AM #25 | Similar concerns over the financial impact of prison labor led California's Democratic-led Legislature to reject an amendment eliminating indentured servitude as a possible punishment for crime after Gov. Gavin Newsoms administration predicted it could require the state to pay billions of dollars at minimum wage to prison inmates. Unsurprising, considering Kamala Harris's office literally opposed early release because it would interfere with the prison labor population. BlackScythe0 posted... I won't lie this title made me think it was some maga states trying to introduce slavery, but it's about prison labor. Because your worldview is fucking delusional. Most people would automatically guess the right thing. BlackScythe0 posted... I think private prisons are unconstitutional. The big issue I have is the fact that the private prisons bribe politicians to make laws that bring more people into their unconstitutional prisons unjustly. And I don't think any of these efforts will do anything to address that. Oh good lord... this isn't even a private prison problem. The biggest resistors are the STATE-run prisons. Lokarin posted... Prison slavery isn't a loophole, it's the intent... ban slavery This. While the theory may have been that inmates would give back to society, the practice has been society exploiting inmates. Zikten posted... Private prisons should never have existed. They should be banned It's kind bizarre that people keep fixating on this as a talking point when it has almost nothing to do with the subject at hand. The reason it's not stopped is because of state-run prisons. BlackScythe0 posted... It's prison what do you even mean by options? It's an option for the government, apparently. Blightzkrieg posted... Banning slavery in its entirety puts the United States at a disadvantage compared to other developed economies. It is better to apply forced labour in a precision manner and enjoy the benefits, rather than risk all of America being turned into a sweatshop as it is surpassed by crueller nations. I'm pretty sure most developed nations already have the bans in place, excluding Russia.

Topic | Many white men see progressive society as oppressive and tyrannical. |
Count_Drachma 10/18/22 10:30:02 PM #22 | ParanoidObsessive posted... And every time the pressure builds up too much and there's a rebellion to "throw off the yoke of oppression", all it ever really does is shake things up a little, and shuffle around who gets to be on top and who has to be on the bottom (and what everyone calls themselves). Inequality never really goes away, it just moves around a bit. Pretty much this. But thankfully, American schools are deliberately awful -- thanks to the far-left and unions -- that students coming out of it don't realize obvious things like that. And, generally speaking, whenever one government is overthrown, it's pretty often replaced by one that's more oppressive than the original. Maoist China, Soviet Russia, Communist Cuba, and a thousand other examples demonstrate the idea pretty well. Even the French Revolution was the same at first. But history is barely taught in schools so people forget that. So when They-Whose-Name-Must-Not-Be-Spoken suggested Americans could learn something from the French Revolution -- a suggestion they made THE SAME WEEK AS THE JAN 6 RIOTS (with, as always, ZERO repercussions) -- I can't be sure whether or not they were ignorant to things like the Reign of Terror or if that's kinda what they wanted. --- Everybody's got a price / Everybody's got to pay / Because the Million Drachma Man / Always gets his way.

Count_Drachma 10/18/22 10:22:43 PM #18 | xyz posted... I don't like conservatism, but what is the point of this topic The demonstration of political ignorance and bias, I'm assuming. It's a stupid topic regardless. Or he's covering for the fact that Democrats were busted for racist gerrymandering after being caught on tape mocking a white politician for having a black son and making highly-charged racist remarks about the child, including a lot of stuff that I wouldn't even risk referring to here. It was pretty horrible stuff. And the whole gerrymandering scheme they'd been doing for decades is pretty insane, but LA is so fucking corrupt it's unsurprising. AltOmega2 posted... The quest for resources and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race lolwut? "The quest for bettering the human race has been a disaster from the human race." Because clearly when the average lifespan was 30 years and medicine, etc, didn't exist was such a better way of life. AltOmega2 posted... Are libertarians conservative? They're the opposite of authoritarian, which doesn't necessarily fall anywhere on the left-right political spectrum. However, many tend to be socially-liberal while fiscally-conservative when both stances push for less government. --- Everybody's got a price / Everybody's got to pay / Because the Million Drachma Man / Always gets his way.

Topic | Does it feel like we don't mourn dead celebrities as much anymore? |
Count_Drachma 10/17/22 1:53:28 AM #18 | Depends on the celebrity and their relevancy at the time of their death. Not everybody is equal. Angela Lansbury has had a fair deal of coverage despite the fact she hadn't been a huge deal in a while. Come to think of it, they're still talking about Lansbury in some places despite the 24-hour newscycle's nonsense. --- Everybody's got a price / Everybody's got to pay / Because the Million Drachma Man / Always gets his way.
