I dropped out of school because they refused goblet me skip ahead to college level courses which in was already doing by middle school.. so for me school was certainly not a privilage

@louis

Maybe a few small ones... my family was physically abusive. Within my own home where mybubcle, grandparents, and mom and me all lived together my uncle was a very abusive heroin addict and my mom was mildly physically abusive and always allowed my uncle to beat me.

My mom loved me though as did even my uncle in his own very broken way. So that is a bit of a privilage I suppose.

The biggest privilage was access to a library. Ibwas studying advanced maths and science by 12 years old and spent a lot of time in the library so by the tine in was 15 i was famous and making 100k (about 200k in forays money). But all of that happened because it was my plan from a young age and I busted my ass to make it happen. Most of the privilages were pretty minor.

Compared to moat Americans id say I was probably one of the least privilaged.

@selea Where else could we go that wouldn't allow fascists? That would eliminate almost all democrats and republicans. Hell having an account here makes you as much a supporter of fascism as anywhere else these days.

@louis

Disagree because if you don't have the money you are more than capable of making it.

Inb4: not everyone has an equally easy tine of getting out of poverty, the system is certainly broken. But with very few exceptions almost everyone is capable.

I grew up on welfare and in rather significant poverty. Now I'm a millionaire. I wasnt ucky or privilaged in any significant way. Ibjuatbblasted through the barriers rather than accepting my victim hood.

@timkmak They should take it one step further and seize any Russian heddles carrying gas into their port and impound the boats.

You are god-like. You can literally do magick in your head (math) and use it to change the world to whatever great works you desire. The universe can not stand against you, any barrier it put in your way you can blow through like no creature has ever even imagined. You can create things the like of which has never existed in the whole of the universe...

You, a human, are one of the most powerful forces in the whole of existance, start acting like it.

@TheOldGuy They always were, now we just have a new one that Kant embarassed by it.

@freeschool I am literally heading out the door to a flight. But I do want to give you a thoughtful reply when I'm by my keyboard. Im also forgetful but ill try to Rene era to reply tomorrow. If you are willing please ping be about this tomorrow and ill give a proper response

You are always hearing people raving about how amazing women are and the "miracle of giving birth" and shit... I literally just took a shit that is easily twice the size of an average baby and not one person I showed the picture, not one, recognized it for the miracle it was! Sexism is everywhere kings, be safe out there

Interesting fact of the day. Invoking the 5th amendments right to remain silent can and will be used against you in civil court cases. The protection only really exists in criminal cases because in civil cases the jury is generally instructed to assume an invocation of the5th is due to the answer being incriminating.

You are not the king of your brain. You are the creepy guy staning next to the king going "most judicious choice sire"

@elijah

For my curiosity can you tell me which domain name, specifically, you are checking?

@stux

@stux Thanks that gave me everything I need.

@stux Your points are valid, im just trying to confirm them. What was the website, maybe that will help me make sense of it.

Im sure your right, i mean there were enopugh other red flags of course.

@stux UltraGames HK is the Hong Kong branch of Ultragames which is a Konami subsidiary.. Basicaly the guys who built the original NES and SNES and many of its games. Most of them wouldnt be on steam though as they are all retro games from the 90s.

@stux That may be, though if they can just make up a big company name like UltraGames. To give you some context UltraGames are the guys who published all the famous retro SNES games and before. So they are **very** well known.

That said im not disagreeing with you, im just curious. Do you have any links so i can dig a little deeper, im curious now.

@louis

While there would need to be a conversation around that, for me the bigger challenge is just quantifying suffering.

Imagine some future world where we can scan someones brain and objectively measure and quantify their happiness. I would simply take the average over each persons lifetime, using the geometric average, and then would take the average across society as a RMS average.

Obviously when you dont have sci-fi type brain scan devices it becomes a far less precise process to actually quantify it, and therein lies the real problem IMO.
