So how do you explain people who drink ONE beer and call it good? It would be really hard to get drunk on one beer, even with supersizing.

Are "reality denial" and "hate against truth" core libertarian traits?

Now you two stop fighting or I'll come over there and make you both drink our beer.

Oh yeah, well how do you explain this:

Check and meet libtardo.

I mean, for now anyway....

I am just saying that failing empires have a bad habit of expanding their borders in order to loot other countries so they can keep their coffers full as the incompetent and corrupt boobs running the country empty them...

I noticed nobody else in the world helped us Americans out when Russia was attacking our elections with crazy amounts of propaganda.

Your ruling classes are hoping that as America falls they will rise.

That would work if America wasn't so crazy that we would invade countries at the drop of a hat.

if they can't find enough Americans that's literally what H1-B is for.

It doesn't matter if there are jobs if there aren't jobs you can do.

Plenty of people hiring diesel mechanics. None of us here can physically do that work. It's brutal, and you can't do it for very long before it physically catches up with you and you have to go work something else.

and if we had a functioning civilization we'd have nuke too, but well....

e.g. there's little or no reason for us to accept those deaths anymore, let along the trillions in externalized costs from the oil industry. We didn't fight $7t in middle east wars for "freedom".

And no, it's not a dog whistle. A dog whistle is when you say something that communicates to a specific group something you do not want the wider audience to be aware of. The fact that poor communities are more likely to live in polluted areas is just facts. You not liking facts doesn't make them not facts...

Much or the corporate world is trying to push us into a weird perversion of communism. It has all the downsides of regular Communism but in addition you don't even theoretically own things due to being part of the collective society, only corporations actually own things. It's a wealthy exclusive club and you ain't in it.

That kind of nasty little comment is why our species will soon be at war with nukes.

I'm sure a big brained boy like you though will be just fine. Nothing bad ever happens in your life ever. You are certainly not going to spend the final years of your life homeless after a billionaire swindles you out of your property. Not a big brain boy like you... And you certainly wouldn't continuously repeat a right-wing talking point from the 1980s for your entire adult life. Again big brain boy.

Buggy whip is a thought terminating cliche. It's something you use so you don't have to think about what happens.

The two are not remotely alike because people who stopped making buggy whips could go make cars.

In this case everything's getting automated. There are just fewer jobs.

This has happened before when automation outpaced job creation. In particular during the second industrial revolution leading up to world war I and II.

It is not a coincidence that we had widespread technological unemployment leading into two world wars.

If you have more people than you have work and you have a society where if you don't work you don't eat you now have millions of people who need to die.

They are not going to just die by slow starvation. You can do that to a lot of people but they need to be in the out group so generally you can only do that too extremely poor countries particularly the ones in places like Africa.

In developed countries when that starts happening a dictator comes around and organizes those people and starts a big war.

That's just what happens historically. It's something that has happened for millennia we just don't really think of it in those terms. We like to romanticize the old wars. We don't like to think about them just being over who gets to have enough food to live.

Also we actually have enough food for everyone now and we have since the mid to late seventies so it's no longer deciding who gets limited resources of food and water it's deciding who gets the limited resource of work.

The real problem is we are going to have a divide between people who have absolutely no work to do and people who we still need to work.

And there is going to be a big war involving those two groups. With a handful of extremely wealthy men at the top profiting from our misery and our inability to let anyone do anything besides work

A lot of over 50s here who are going to find that they are completely unemployable. Uber these days pays below minimum wage.

I guess we can all just go be plumbers right? Just like learn to code. Anyone here old enough to remember when biotech was what we were all going to be doing after the factories started automating?

I was using the term "dialer" to refer to a native application that responds to a challenge issued by a network access control server on a LAN or WLAN. When the user connects to the ISP through a LAN or WLAN, the user's machine is initially quarantined behind a captive portal offering only downloads of the dialer for Windows and macOS. The dialer then assesses the device, ostensibly to ensure that an antivirus approved by the ISP is running, and relays this information to a server that grants access to the network. Users of iOS or Android can download the ISP's dialer through cellular data.

If "dialer" is inappropriate for the client side of a network access control protocol, what term is appropriate?

Do a search for "security guarantee ukraine" or "coalition of the willing ukraine" and you will have your answer.

Russia will be trounced like Iraq, and nuclear weapons are something we will have to deal with.

Read a newspaper, stop saying ignorant things.

Regarding lifetimes, I once got a VPN subscription for their lifetime plan which wasn't really, but they at least were explicit by showing prominently on the payment page that by that word they meant 7 years.
