  • Hilariously the thing that got me to go back to @firefox was Google making adblocking suck on chromium based browsers and trying to force their (repeatedly) spy-ware fill

  • Yeah, I only made the switch 3 months ago for this reason. I don't see how it is hilarious either.

  • Oi, I didn't say you could go! Article fifty seven of the Shadow Proclamation. This is a fully established level five planet, and you were going to burn it? What? Did you think no-one was watching? You lot, back here, now.

  • Yeah, it is nearly impossible to dismantle a belief system like this. Just like it is with extreme (both left and right) political beliefs.

    Jump

  • I haven't heard that report, but I'd guess it's the Russians that are reporting that. Now why would they have an incentive to say that? ;)

  • The US and Turkey support different factions in the Syrian civil war. This video from Real Life Lore goes in depth with Turkey's position in NATO, and IIRC it does mention about Syria:

    Jump

  • A U.S. F-16 fighter jet shot down an armed Turkish drone that was operating near American troops in Syria Thursday after several warnings, according to U.S. officials.

    The shootdown came after repeated communications to stay away from U.S. ground troops near al Hasakah, in northeastern Syria.

  • Wife and I are finally at the beach for the first time in 5 years. It's late, but it's beautiful!

    Jump

  • As someone who lives in Denmark, where you can't get more than 50 km from the sea, not being to the beach for 5 years just sounds so weird to me. I hope you enjoy it though :)

  • What I am arguing is that capitalism and (classic) liberalism goes more hand in hand than capitalism and classic conservatism. Also, liberalism does not guarantee nor guarantee the lack of monopolies. Monopolies are the result of economics and the industry's fixed and variable costs.

    That being said, I do agree that monopolism is generally bad for society, as it reduces economic welfare (look it up) by generally reducing consumer surplus while increasing monopolist profit by a lower amount, thus creating a dead weight gap.

    As a last point, somewhat unrelated, I think that it is an insult to the victims of fascism to call anything you don't like fascism. I know you are not alone with the comparison, but I wish people would stop sorting people as either people they like or fascists. I think that people sometimes forget that the world isn't inhabited entirely by saints and fascists.

    I hope you have a great Sunday evening though :)

  • As a conservative (by Danish standards, in the US I would probably be centrist and probably vote for the Democrats) I would say that capitalism doesn't work well for every case in a society. In the olden days, people would meet in the town square and use the village posters.

    Those local communities has largely been replaced by the internet today, and whereas the old communities was run by itself with its people taking ownership and responsibility for it with the incentive to make the community as good as possible, today the communities are largely owned by companies with a profit drive. In these new communities the incentive for the owner (the company) is not to create the best possible community, but to extract the most money from it.

    I would say that pure capitalism would be to the detriment to a society. Capitalism is more a product of liberalism (where I am not using the definition of liberalism that most Americans would, but the "correct" definition) than it is a product of conservatism.

  • I have a blu-ray drive that I use once or twice a year to rip a movie. 5 years or so ago I was the weirdo that has both a blu-ray and dvd drive in my computer, as I was ripping my entire movie library.
