By corporate assholes

I’m not laughing, fuck these assholes

I can’t wait for the eventual documentary about poly market, how it started, how the owners did insane things and nobody objected and how could THIS possibly have happened???

Totally this.

I remember reading somewhere long ago about how in Israel gas masks were this taboo thing that came all the way from the holocaust where certain people had it as a kink to wear that with sex, and maybe even inhaling something…

I think its a “natural” part of humanity to have these kinks, and as long as they are done safely I have little problem with it.

The real problem is though that people DO like this, but they hate that they like it. This is where you get a pastor screeching how they hate gays because they are so yuckie, yet they snort cocaine from a gay escort dick. (Yeah, I"m talking about that guy)

…

Did you miss the “Slowly string up gays with a crane” memo from Iran?

Did you miss the “Public executions” memo from Iran?

Did you miss the “Torture prisons” memo from Iran? Seriously, look up “Evin Confess” on spotify, the singer actually spent some “fun vacation” in that place because they didn’t like his music much

Seriously, the Iranian government is a fucked up government that needs to go. Same for Saudi Arabia, by the way, same shit, different name. These are repressive and violent regimes. Whatever fucked up thing the US and Israel are doing has nothing to do with that, doesn’t change anything about that. And yes, the Israeli government too is evil and fucked up and too has to go because they just seem unable to stop genociding because they like it too much.

What is up with you idiots trying to protect these horrible creatures? Why?

The “original message” was also only about control, like every other religion out there

Nah, just 10M wealth caps…

Management is free to give you a 100M bonus! If your current worth is 1M, 91M of that bonus will go to taxes and you receive 9M and after that, all goes to taxes.

If you have shares, and the value of those shares goes up? You’ll have to pay the taxes over that, sell some shares, and pay money to taxes. And yeah, companies would simply need boat loads of small shareholders.

And no, 100M is already way too much. If you need investment for bigger things, maybe think independent, government funded investment companies that could be a thing?

Wait, what are you talking about here? I feel like we’re both on the same side of the argument?

Look, they’re both fucking evil and both have to go. Trump because he is a murdering self serving pedophile, and the Iranian government because they are a theocratic dictatorship that tortures and murders their population for control.

Oh yeah, I’m sure if we wait until the inevitable heat death of the universe that the Iranian regime will have fallen as well!

I’m sorry, but that is rather an… empty statement.

What I meant is that I have a list of about 7000 songs on spotify that I have built over the years, I would like to have THAT list of music. If I go to a self hosted option, that is great, but without the media, worthless… I can download all the music that I want, but that will be a ginormous amount for a tiny amount of songs that I actually like. I’m already hosting a huge movie library, but I fear I might need hundreds of TB more storage to save all the music that I want :)

I guess I’m looking for a “download only these songs/albums/bands from this spotify list” type thing

wealth caps

world wide…

Yeah, it will be hard for the rich to accept that, but its better and easier than switching to a completely different system like communism.

Just continue with everything the same, with a whole bunch of tax brackets, but after 10 million dollar networth is reached, 100% of your income goes to taxes until you’re below the threshold again.

This is a fairly simple rule to implement with huge consequences. Nobody can become a billionaire anymore. Nobody can hoard wealth, wealth will spread to the poor now as well, feeding a middle class that was starved, to become the biggest group

Governments now get a huge income stream that they can use for free education, free housing, free healthcare, universal basic income.

Since nobody can become insanely rich anymore, you will have less people push for the get rich quick schemes. Companies will cheat way less because why? It won’t get you any extra income if you hit the limit already, so why would you? Nobody is insanely rich, so nobody is insanely powerful either, so no more trumps, no more musks. Greed will actually stop if you put a hard limit on how much you can be worth.

Prices of goods would go down to normal again. Can’t own a 100M dollar home if your max worth is 10M. A family of 2 could potentially own a 20M home, but they would have no money left for anything else, like food. Art will once again be priced normally and most art can return to the museums for everyone to enjoy.

Big-ass billion dollar company? Well, that requires at least 100 share holders, but they would not be able to own anything besides that company because again, hard caps. Company shares rise? Great! Now some of your shares will go to the government because hard caps. You don’t want to lose money just because the shares go down, so you will likely share your shares over multiple companies. So you’ll end up with more smaller companies with many many more owners and shareholders. No more single venture capital company that can buy up companies to then shred them out.

I could go on for a while, but you get the picture.

I would say that 10M is much, still, I would even go for a cap on 5M.

In other words, lets please add wealth caps world wide. If nobody can get richer than, say, 10 million dollars, then things change quickly, and its a relatively simple change to implement

Oh god, another one of those…

Dinosaurs existed, so Jeebus must have existed too!

Much like the pyramids we can assume the easter bunny existed and continues to exist today.

NO WE CANNOT!

But we can see the eggs! The eggs, man!

…

Seriously, this is how you sound. You are defending that santa claus really exists because pyramids exist too.

I made sure they came for everyone else but now they’re coming for me and it’s not fair!

Of course, Iranians have to solve this themselves, but if you think that this theocracy will only stop because the west stopped meddling then I have a bridge to sell ya

I meant more “How do I get the media”. I have a 7K songs spotify list which is the only reason I haven’t quit the horror show that is spotify; how would I find this music again outside of spotify?

Outlook is just impressively bad. When I came back to work from the weekend, there was this attack on one of our sites that sent out a notification for each attack it detected and I came to work to 20K new emails.

Ever tried, to delete 20K emails from outlook? Its amazingly stupid! First of all, you can’t just bulk select. Search won’t help either (Search half the time returns nothing anyways) so you have to kind of select one, scroll 2387942 times down until you are a few thousand mails in. Now, this is important: Click correctly! If you click wrong, all the mails you’ve selected so far will be unselected again and you have to start over. Press shift, and select a mail. Now you have a few thousand mails selected. Press delete.

And now go for a coffee because you won’t be able to use your outlook for the next 30 minutes. You can’t open mails, can’t refresh the page (you’ll get a crash page if you do). Half an hour later, outlook reloads again, and you’ll see that it successfully deleted about 80% of your selected mails. The other 20%, I hear you ask? Yeah, those were just not deleted. Why? I don’t know? Why are you asking me?!

I would constantly see “There are 6K mails” and then the table where the mail headers are shown shows 7 mails… Load more? Nope, nothing, need to reload the page.

Try copy paste! Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuccckkk if they don’t crash, they will just piss you off… Now pasting gets you this weirdo paste box. You can’t type anymore, there is this stupid paste thing floating, and you need to press ESC to continue.

Half the time I’m writing an email and the text formatting options just disappear, and I can’t do any formatting anymore. I can fix this, I just have to get out, to go drafts, reopen the mail I was writing because fuck you, that’s why.

How about outlook365? Its awesome and amazing! I write text and I can see bits and pieces of the text I wrote previously just disappear, like its high on Alzheimer. You literally just see parts of paragraphs disappear while you are writing below. Best part of this? Then you change your useragent to say that you’re not on linux, but on windows, and the problem magically resolves itself!

Microsoft is the worst software company ever

Oh god, turns out he was an actual doctor who diagnosed her with Ebola by just looking at her boobs!

JFC…

Yes, Iran is a theocratic dictatorship. The government is based on Islamic law and led by religious leaders, particularly that “wonderful” Supreme Leader. The system combines elements of theocracy with authoritarian governance, limiting political freedoms and dissent, and happily tortures you for whatever reason they want.

But yeah, its not a dictatorship though, because the internet guy ™ told me so, just like he told me that if Iran wins, it will only do good things, because they are just misunderstood santa claus elves, you know! They know no wrong!

So in the real world, on the one side you have a fascist semi dictatorship with a money obsessed pedophile and on the other side you have a theocratic religion obsessed dictatorship (BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT IT IS) that murders people world wide and happily tortures its own citizens. Geez, who would be the good guy ™ here!??!

So how about this: Both sides are bad and best we can hope for is Iran winning and immediately being overthrown by a coup by the citizens, so that they can finally pave a path to freedom and democracy?

Why vilify a known pedophile who is extra judicially murdering people all over the world, while putting the entire world in turmoil?

I’m not putting both of them on the same level. Just saying; A rapist and a mass child murderer are both criminals, it is very okay to call both bad while not proclaiming they are equally bad. One obviously is worse than the other.

In this case, though, I’m hard press to tell you which is worse, the Iranian government or the US government. The Iranian government is a theocratic dictatorship that regularly disappears people for even dressing the wrong way, let alone protest or gasp being gay. They would love to dominate and dictate other countries and if they get their hands on a nuke, it could be really bad, though a similar claim could be made for Pakistan which now does have nukes.

The US government is a corrupt semi dictatorship that has spent the last 7 decades fucking over other countries for its own good. Ironically, Iran is the way it is now because of the US’ actions some 7 or so decades ago. They now too make people disappear, they are responsible for thousands of deaths all over the world, and with cheeto in charge, they may very well end the world.
