@AmpBenzScientist It is a universal physical law of the universe.
If we ever meet aliens I garuntee you their wise men are also random aliens peekling alien apples by alien lakes.
@freemo Or Groom Lake.
@freemo Weed has changed so much since we were that age. Seeds and stems man seeds and stems.
@freemo I've never actually used public transportation. It used to frequently catch on fire when we had it. They would just put the fire out and continue on their route.
I believe that people who use public transportation have more pressing issues than that one belligerent woman did.
@freemo @DrBonesMD @GW@newsie.social I don't believe in increased taxes on the wealthy. I believe that governments have created the problems and mostly exist for the benefit of the super wealthy.
Multinational Companies are the worst offenders and should be targeted. If they refuse to play ball, they should forfeit their copyrights in the US and any capital.
The correct strategy in Capitalism is to use taxes to keep monopolies from forming and keep corporations competing. One of the many problems in the dystopian present is a lack of opportunity. The government is not for the people and it allows for further predatory actions on its own people.
There's not a silver bullet for this other than destruction of the Representative Democracy and going for a Direct Democracy. China has a Representative based government too. In the modern world there's no room for such an unoptimized and inflexible government.
No taxation without representation? When representation is so far removed from the people it can be distorted or ignored. The people who control the most wealth also hijack our voice by abusing the same representative system or use of renamed bribes.
It's rather pointless to address the dysfunctional taxes without addressing the dysfunctional government and its flaws.
@freemo @DrBonesMD @GW@newsie.social It would solve police brutality against the homeless and remind people that firearms make everyone equal.
Im all for handing out free guns to the homeless... not sure it will solve any problems but it will certainly piss off the liberals, and that alone is worth it :)
@DrBonesMD @GW@newsie.social
20/10 vision would mean quite horrible near sightedness.
While there is such a thing as objectively bad vision (such as an astigma) when it comes to normal shaped lenses that are out of focus there really is no such thing as "better and worse"... those kids with 20/10 vision would be completely unable to use my computer at the resoution I use.
I use QHD/UHD monitors at full resolution with no zoom. Virtually every normal sighted person says "how can you see that" to which I reply "rather easily".
You can only shift the natural focal point, it is never an improvement it is a tradeoff every time.
@freemo @thor That explains why I wasn't able to hit targets with an M16A2 style rifle and iron sights. I suspected it had something to do with my corrective lenses. Before the corrective lenses I could easily hit paper plates with the same rifle at 100m.
Can you see better in the dark than other people too? That is without glasses.
@freemo Especially if one includes the Intellectual Property used.
@freemo I have had this experience too.
@freemo @lonelyowl The balance between the two is Military adoption or maybe convincing IBM that Microsoft will suffer.
@freemo It's rather fitting considering the real story.
@freemo So Academia is much like Pandora's Box?
@DrBonesMD @freemo @GW@newsie.social The tax Bezos pays is not having a space program and waking up to that every day.
@freemo @DrBonesMD @GW@newsie.social You could always get them good gear and have a private militia. Start your own security contactor company and they would have jobs, money and belong to something greater.
