I just thought I'd let you know FuckyWucky (and @[email protected] and @[email protected]), in case you found it amusing like I did, is that your comments along with most other replies in this thread were "removed by mod." Sort of. See, what's funny is that it looks like federation is a little bit buggy here because the comment removals didn't work for most other instances. They're still up and visible (just not on lemm.ee) despite the mod removing every single comment that had any sense of reality in it. lol

I also wanted to see if the cowardly mod of this empty, inactive comm tries to delete this too (I'm sure they will) and to test how this comment shows up when that happens. Because strangely my other comment is showing as "deleted by creator" on some instances, but I did not delete it, it was removed. All the hexbear comments still show up from most other instances though. So when the mod reads this, yes you Tad Lispy, know that your attempt to silence everyone who was speaking truth didn't work. :)

Well then you should educate yourself as to what is factually true because everything I said was just that. You seem aware enough that you should know that one can not trust western sources if they want to have any idea what is really going on. Yet your responses here seem to indicate that that's exactly what you've done: trusted the propaganda put out by the imperialist world hegemon.

Seriously, I had been saving up to get a good monitor, now I wonder if I would be falling for a "go out and buy treats fast while you still can!" scheme if I bought one now when I can't quite afford it, or if waiting until I've saved up enough will mean it's too late and I won't be able to afford one at all because they've quadrupled in price in 2 months.

Just mash that button, Xi, please. I keep reading comments around these parts from people who are smarter than me saying that liberalism is winning in China, even that it already has, and that our leftist hopes for China have been dashed. These aren't anti-Dengists either, they're very pro-CPC saying a big turn to liberal policies is relatively recent. I don't know, is it just doomerism? I read things like this and it helps refill some of that waning hope.

This is an honest question, not a challenge. Why is DPRK still a remnant of Bolshevism but Cuba is not? Did DPRK follow in some early theoretical footsteps that Cuba didn't?

Spoken like someone who clearly has zero knowledge of actual history. Especially considering a large part of the reason why the coup government in Ukraine began their campaign of ethnically cleansing the eastern population of their own country was because the people living there more strongly identified with Russia, wanted to be able to keep speaking Russian without persecution, and eventually pleaded with Russia to intervene on their behalf, which Russia fortunately did. But anyone who actually understands the history of the region is a "psychopath." lol

The machine only outputs the value you put into it, since it's constant capital. 5G worth of raw materials produces 5G worth of transformed material. 10G produces 10G, etc. You can make your machines faster and more efficient but they will still output exactly what you put into them

the machine will still output 3G of transformed material for 3G of raw material

But if this is the case, then what good are machines at all? If they only output the same value that went into them, then wouldn't that make them entirely superfluous? I can understand that human labor is always required in addition to any machine, but surely machines still do increase the value of the material input? And more so the more efficient you make that machine, otherwise what would it even mean to make it more efficient?

You sound like one of those chud gamers who thinks making games more inclusive for other people detracts from the purity of the game. It's ablebist bullshit.

a fuckload of books and movies don’t hold my attention, should everything be re-edited to suit my neurology?

"There's a fuckload of places around the city that are wheelchair-accessible, should every public building be re-engineered to suit me just because I'm in a wheelchair?" A book or movie "not holding your attention" is a completely different thing than if a book or a movie didn't allow you to set it down or walk away from it. If a movie forced the people who wanted to watch it to do so entirely on the terms of the producer, like say, not letting people fast-forward through a scene with intense flashing lights, then yes, that's ableist and that movie should be criticized for being ableist and a version of it should be made so people with epilepsy could watch it.

You might as well ask for the spiciest food to cease to exist, to accommodate normal people, as though the vast majority of food is not spicy at all.

This is such a bullshit analogy that totally misrepresents what we're saying. ("We" being those of us who think games should not be ableist). We're not asking for spicy food to "not exist" in that we're not asking for your precious games who don't want people to be able to pause them to "not exist." They can exist just fine, as I described above, it doesn't have to be either/or, so you should stop pretending like it does. Just as a spicy food dish and a mild version of it can exist simultaneously. In fact it's funny that you'd even use that as an analogy since every restaurant I've ever been to gives its customers the option to order a hot or mild version of whatever spicy dishes it has on the menu.

Obama notoriously destroyed his entire political apparatus once it had served his purpose

How? What is this referring to?

That word is internet slang, moron. It doesn't need to be tightly defined like it's scientific nomenclature. Even if it did, the way it's being used by the person talking to you is perfectly fine and understandable.

But I'm not surprised this is what you're getting hung up on because it's clear you have no idea what context is. You have demonstrated you are completely ignorant of the importance of historical and geopolitical context in general, and completely ignorant of the specific historical and geopolitical context of the Middle East. And now with your "hurr durr that's not what 'simping' means!!1!" deflection, you're showing you also don't understand the fundamental importance of context in language. It's no wonder you can't see anything beyond lines on a map.

Then why are you the one with mod removed comments and the one getting upvote ratioed? @booty is actually making sense.
