  • The minimum liability insurance isn’t a scam. If you hit someone and cripple them you’ll be glad for insurance to pay their medical etc…

    Comprehensive is absolutely a scam. Just take the money and save it, maybe buy some bonds. Then when it’s time to buy a new car (or when you get your car totaled) you’re already half way to a new car.




  • Who even cares about the quality. That makes it seem like a solvable problem. AI use is fundamentally alienating. No amount of quality redeems this fact, when you see an AI generated person your brain is registering a non-human as a human. When you draft an AI generated email or report you’re allowing a machine to communicate with other humans using its voice. Reading content changes your brain, this used to mean changing your brain TOWARDS another human, AI generated content means your brain is changing towards a machine’s language.

    This might not seem so bad if it were not that these machines are owned and controlled by a person. Everytime you use or consume AI you alienate yourself from other humans and bind yourself to a rich person’s machine.

    Marx envisioned private ownership of the means of production as alienating a worker from his labour. Never did he imagine private ownership of the means of production alienating a human from his humanity whether he works or not.



  • I don’t see how life at conception, or fetal personhood leads to this. If another person attached themselves to you and said “if you detach me I’ll die, I need to stay connected to you for months before I can detach from you in a traumatic way that damages your body” it’s not a crime to detach them. No one has a right to your body. But somehow when a baby does that they have a direct right to your body? When did you agree to this arrangement? When did you lose your right to change your mind?

    I’m very upset that leftists have to cede the scientific fact that life begins at conception to the right. Just because a fetus is alive doesn’t mean it owns your body.

    I’m not disagreeing with anything I’m just mad that we have to take such precarious positions to defend things that I don’t think should need defending.













  • Neoliberals literally can’t understand basic social and material facts. You could tell them all day that arresting a thousand grannies will concretely demonstrate the newly passed law is bullshit creating the pressure to fix it. And they’ll respond “well if they named themselves something else they could have protested without being arrested” until their last breath.

    Neoliberals literally CAN’T think of the common good because they think there shouldn’t be commons, only individuals, families, and private property. They also don’t think there can be good, only profitable and legal matter, in that order.
