I break things. Then I put them back together. Then I break them again. Just to show I mean business.

  • First of all the social security system in Germany should not be tax funded.

    I got to here before I knew you were just full of pure shit. Unless you miswrote, because you are stating a moral proposition that is false at face value unless you're either for oligarchy or are straight up fascist.

  • Paying taxes is only wrong when it goes to a democratically elected government whose purpose is to benefit all citizens. But if it's paying tithes to the church or tribute to monarchs, then it's a MORAL DUTY!

  • Goods and services that nobody asked for and never needed at the expense of humanity and a finite ecosystem. We need to make sure to keep nativity numbers up though, that's super important for the economy- got to keep growing forever, because we cannot have enough people, things, and more of everything, at any cost.

  • Financial obesity is literally capitalism. That's the disease. Period.

  • Because it would reflect poor on her, too. It's like when people don't report being victims of sexual assault, because they know people will look at them differently forever, doesn't even have to be that extreme, just imagine being a normal family in a normal neighborhood where everybody knows everyone for decades, and then you find out your husband has a fling with a younger woman. It's just embarrassing, you know?

    You and me and all of us lie all the time about way less embarrassing things, because we don't want to be seen a certain way, as victims, as having been duped or gullible or even the butt of a joke.

    Imagine on that level, where you are married to one of the richest men in the world, and your rollerdex contains thousands of names to some of the most powerful people on the planet, and you "go to the press with it".

    It would change your life forever, the scandal would stain every aspect of your life F O R E V E R.

  • And he didn't donate shit without an economic incentive, it's all a tax writeoff, it's all a scam. Even that shit he did pumping money into AIDS research as "charity" went into companies where he held stake himself. It's so fucking vile.

  • Exactly like gambling addicts. They are blinded by capitalism, because capitalism is nothing but gambling, and not only are these people addicts, the game has completely usurped society itself. Just think about it- what dictates our society? It's not our values, or ideals, our wishes and wants and dreams, it's the economy.

    The Economy is a fucking golem that has overtaken democracy, we have no say, what The Economy wants always takes precedence, and the only thing The Economy wants is MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE. MORE people, MORE things, MORE money, MORE. You know what else does that? Cancer.

  • And I don't believe shit of it. I think all their "donations" to foundations and "charity" are tax scams. I've seen so many of these deeply immoral and greedy fucks do this and go on charity drives and I'm not buying any of it, I know these people are just scamming us somehow, they don't do anything out of the kindness of their hearts and betterment of society, it's all about money.

    The worst part is- they are not the problem per se, the system is. The system creates this, capitalism creates this, it promotes these people to the top sure, but if not them then anybody else willing to sell their souls to the literal antichrist.

    Capitalism is a malignant cancer and needs to be excised and chemod or we all die. DIE. Civilization GONE. Humanity GONE. Culture GONE.

    It's us or capitalism.

  • The first few months I was whining about government overreach. Since then I have come to realize what a true boon to humanity the ban really was.

    Now I can't even fathom how anyone in their right mind would think smoking inside is a reasonable thing to do.

    Edit: also, yeah, people stopped going to bars and drinking after the ban?? LOOL

  • Lentils, beans, onion, rice. Lentils and beans need to be soaked for a long time before cooking, but they're DIRT CHEAP, and they are actually super tasty. Just get used to it and you'll find it's basically comfort food. You can eat it with anything, but lentils and onion and rice is amazing, especially with some condiments or whatever

    Calling things "fat" or "heavy" is fattist. We should all say "rotund" instead.
