    Well, not the crybullies, but you have to admit-- the Wookiees had it pretty bad under Palpatine's rule. :p

    There's more to it. Chapek was still progressive, but more interested in making money, so he was meant as "controlled opposition", rolling back some of the crazier stuff and pleasing the investors (who do want actual profits). But even that was too much for the loonies to accept, so Chapek was...

    I do think that's built to last. It's not really a bridge as such, and I'm not sure it'll last 2000 years (especially if you go for equal testing and throw in an analogue to the Mediaeval situation, during which maintenance is... intermittent), but it's a good example of something built to last...

    Just so. It was a mystery, and it is a mystery no longer. Which thus invalidates the argument that the Romans had materials that are not available to use, and that therefore we can't build durable infrastructure like theirs. At the present time, we can do that. My argument here is that in many...

    Some people here are peddlng some serious misinformation. DarthOne is right. There are various Roman roads still in use today. No, they don't wear down just like modern roads. Quite a lot more of them have only been closed to traffic as of the late 1990s / early 2000s, as part of their receiving...

    There are two approaches to this kind of thing. The one rooted in an intuitive sense of justice, and the one based on legalistic considerations. When it comes to justice, I am most often in the former camp. Because I find that if it feels wrong, it tends to be wrong. Screw the rules; I can...

    You're responding to a pathological troll who always "co-incidentally" takes the left-wing position in every single discussion. :cautious: I don't think arguments are going to do the trick here. It didn't work the past few hundred times... Pro tip: ignore, or otherwise exclusively engage to...

    Vermin gonna vermin. Ah, look, immediate proof of my above statement! It's never about principles for this kind of scum. It's about extortion.

    So business as usual over there? It's really sad how that place turned utterly deranged. Obviously, it always slanted in a certain "direction", but over the past years, it became a loonie bin. Anyway, maybe not all hope is lost. Elon Musk could buy their site and turn it around! If you can...

    Not "arguably". Certainly. Communist regimes are the most unrepentantly murderous ones in human history. Literally only Hitler even comes close, and his ideology grew from the same totalitarian root. Also not just "in the long run". Communist regimes are uniquely harmful in the long run, but...

    Yeah, it's called "being a deranged retard with evident narcissism and delusions of grandeur". But then, is anyone surprised? We're talking about a gay fish here...

    It is, in fact, inevitable that the existing paradigm is ultimately cast aside. Furthermore, "wokeness" is not the paradigm (or "Zeitgeist", if you will). Wokeness is the latest expression of the paradigm of the current Zeit, and that Zeit ("time", "era") is what is (wrongly and arrogantly)...

    Grab the popcorn. This show is about to get even more entertaining.

    It's happening. This is a really great step. Best thing he could have done. No stupid, lengthy process for people to beg for their accounts back. Just blanket amnesty for everyone except the really reprehensible (e.g. terrorists, paedophiles and spambots). And then everybody gets a shot under...

    Good, good... DEWIT.

    Finally an event where voting might actually be useful. A clear "yes" here would really help move Twitter in the right direction.

    Well, it's funny. But be careful with ideas like these! Because this right here? This is how you get... Space communism. ...obligatory vid:

    Funniest thing is that in their minds, it's a huge step down. They really don't get that normal people (rightfully!) have a thousand times more respect for someone who works at McDonald's than for someone who works at Twitter.

    Money? Ha! Money is losing value by the day, and these idiots have no useful skills. When things get tight, it suddenly turns out that nobody needs these leeches for anything. Their lives aren't going to be decent, and they know it. Their future is the inescapable poverty of the terminally...
