Maxwell was an important contributor to the formalization of electromagnetism, yes, but just as much recognition should be given to Faraday for discovering the bloody thing exists in the first place.

Gabu ,

A person needn’t be good in order to do good things, just as a good person doesn’t necessarily impact the world positively simply by existing.

Gabu ,

Dumont was a prolific Brazilian-French inventor. Among his most famous achievements are several lighter-than-air flights and flying machines (blimps), as well as a potential claim as the inventor of the first airplane.

Gabu ,

Considering Europe did conquer the world (yes, including China), I’d say that’s a pretty big deal…

Gabu ,

Right, let’s ignore all of the people forced to relocate their homes

What is a gender neutral replacement for man, guys, buddy, etc?

So I’ve realized that in conversations I’ll use traditional terms for men as general terms for all genders, both singularly and for groups. I always mean it well, but I’ve been thinking that it’s not as inclusive to women/trans people....

Gabu ,

“Guys” is gender neutral already…

Gabu ,

No, they’re not. Populism as a whole is a horrible political strategy which benefits only a few members of the political class.

Gabu ,

No, populism is a focus on electorally beneficial short term goals. Has been so since always. Political decisions taken with the intent and plan of benefitting the populous are simply called a “good political administration”.

Gabu ,

Quite clearly, yes. Bernie may rely on populism more than a hardline socialist, but as a relative metric against his rivals, he’s not even close to a populist.

Gabu ,

In a sense, Bleach - twice!

spoilerSousuke Aizen used deplorable methods in his attempt to achieve godhood and conquer the “empty throne of god”, but was ultimately justified when the forces of Yhwach, the legitimate son of God decided to invade and lay waste to the Soul Society. Subverted yet again when it is revealed that the current “Soul King” (the lynchpin that hold reality together and the pretend-ruler of the world) is in fact an empty husk of the original God, who was assassinated by the Shinigami because they feared his powers, and Yhwach’s bloody conquest was in fact an attempt at revenge. Some of his final words before dying are “I will create a world without the fear of death”.

Gabu ,

Sure thing, boludo. Let’s see what you think in a year’s time.

Gabu ,

Are you aware of this little place called “The entirety of Earth except 'murica” ? Gun control seems to work pretty well, there.

Gabu ,

'murica moment.

Gabu ,

A militia made of a bunch of greasy brainwashed boomers would be put down in a couple days at most, even if it consisted of the entire population of republicans.

Gabu ,

There’s an easy way to end this war: either kill Putin or have Putin resign.

Gabu ,

Fallacy.

Gabu ,

Because it takes away the puppet Russia has been building and nurturing this whole time.

Gabu ,

Are you at all capable of thought? Change “Israel” to “Nazi Germany” and see how quickly your non-argument crumbles.

Gabu ,

But it tells you she’s a fucking Nazi, you dimwit. It literally doesn’t matter what the argument of a Nazi is, you just punch them.

Gabu ,

Except it clearly hasn’t. Why are you manipulating public discussion in favor of a dictatorship?

Gabu ,

Russia is still growing

You mean like how the Soviet Ruble was worth hundreds of dollars, yet the USSR had to pay for western goods with old battleships? Oh, the irony - “Asserting so does not make it so.”

Gabu ,

I have a bridge I want to sell you

New Israeli report alleging ‘systematic and intentional rape’ by Hamas relies on debunked Western media reports - The Grayzone (thegrayzone.com)

The contents of the Israeli Association of Rape Crisis Center’s paper alleging “systematic” Hamas rape derive largely from discredited second-hand testimonies and debunked media reports. Among its most heavily cited sources is a dubious NY Times article that triggered a staff revolt at the paper.

Gabu ,

Statistically, sure, there must’ve been rape cases in Japan with american perpetrators. I wouldn’t say that’s relevant in any way to the discussion, though.

Gabu ,

The USSR was a dictatorship, but not a fascist dictatorship.

Gabu ,

LMAO, imagine thinking that Venezuela’s seat of power isn’t also a tactical sabotage.

Gabu ,

Ignoring everything else wrong about your one sentence, a dictatorship needn’t be helmed by a single person. Brazil was a dictatorship from the 60s to the 90s, and had 6 different presidents during that time.

Gabu ,

Stating a fallacy doesn’t make it true.

Gabu ,

You get none of those things from mandatory enlistment. What you do get is military pigs abusing their power and a bunch of young people being used as slaves until their time is over.

Gabu ,

The main thing about Clonezilla is that you can always rely on it working, no matter the system. The bad thing is that proprietary solutions have a lot more creature comforts.

Gabu ,

It’s obviously not based on good intentions… how can you be this naïve? If a conservative says “but think of the children”, you know fully well whatever they’re proposing is not for the wellbeing of children.

Gabu ,

Here’s a crazy idea: don’t fucking do any of that. What benefit is there to doing it in the first place?

Gabu ,

Whether you’re a troll (it’s 2024, grow up) or someone whose brain is literal mush, do the world a favor and cut your internet access…

Gabu ,

Is the US socialist because nVidia is a public company, therefore the shares are owned by the public? […] The ownership of the company is shared, so it must be socialism, right? I’d say no, because it’s not shared evenly.

How did you mess up this badly? A “public company” [sic, the correct term is “publicly traded company”] is a regular private company where the owners are hundreds or even thousands of individuals. A publicly owned company is one where every single citizen owns the company simply by being alive or every single worker owns the company simply by working there.

What if a single individual owns a single “mean” of production, but everything else is owned by the state

I don’t even understand what you mean by this…

Modern economies are mixes of socialism and capitalism. The people (through the government) own certain things, and individuals own other things.

No, they’re not, and this shows a very serious hole in your knowledge of economic and social systems. While, informally, it’s sometimes said to be the case, that’s strictly an oversimplification to communicate a different idea. Countries like the US simply use a government-assisted capitalist model. Places like the Nordic countries have a more transitional system, but are ultimately still just capitalist.

Gabu ,

You’re a mammal, a rat is a mammal - should we just consider you the same as a rat?

Gabu ,

It has about as much relevance as the behavior of any other mammal, circling back to my comment about rats.

Gabu ,

Funny how that’s a fallacy, and there have been countless largely communist organizations of human labor over history, which lasted just as long as capitalist society.

Gabu ,

You mean the impressions of having lived in a dictatorship which discarded the idea of progressing towards communism? How is that relevant?

Gabu ,

Says the balding neckbeard living in Brexit-land.

Gabu ,

The fact you think some old white englishmen created the partition of power tells us a lot about your level of education.

Gabu ,

Are you illiterate? I specifically pointed to why that’s not the case…

Gabu ,

Grade-school level history: I didn’t need to ask which country because all of the possible countries were puppet states of a single other country…

Because a 100% of communist countries became dictatorships […]

There are a total of 0 communist countries throughout history. Your lack of very basic knowledge is starting to make me cringe.

I’m happy now somewhere in the middle in this terrible, terrible capitalism.

That’s irrelevant. If you’re happy while I’m driving a nail through your eyes, does that make driving a nail through someone’s eyes a good thing? The fact that you are privileged doesn’t make a difference.

Oh, and I’m free to leave anytime I want

No, you’re not. Your statement is so completely uneducated, I couldn’t even guess where to begin dismantling it.

Gabu ,

You couldn’t specify your breakfast if you were in the middle of eating it. Grow up.

Gabu ,

And who exactly can be trusted as the centralized guide for human morality?

Gabu ,

The silliest thing is that even YHWH was once but one of the Israelites’ many gods. He just slowly ate away at their pantheon until there was nothing left but anger and jealousy.

Gabu ,

There will always be broken people with pathologies like sociopathy or narcissism that wouldn’t agree […]

And dismissing their way of perceiving the world is a choice which we make, not an objective mandate or imperative. We do it because the benefits to us (“normal people”) seem to outweight the loses.

[…] at least if they had the rights and freedoms to express themselves and the education to understand and not be brainwashed

And how do you determine who falls in this category? Again, by a set of parameters which we’ve chosen.

[…] nonsensical since it destroys meaning itself […]

Which is a judgement call you’ve externalized, again not an objective reality. You have chosen to believe that meaning is important, that self-destruction is bad. There’s nothing in the universe that inherently holds this as being true. Whether one person or one billion people choose to believe something as true has no bearing on whether or not it is actually true.

You cannot argue for the elimination of meaning without using meaning itself, and after the fact it would have shown that your arguments were meaningless

You needn’t argue for the elimination of meaning, because meaning isn’t a substance present in reality - it’s a value we ascribe to things and thoughts.

Gabu ,

They’re not entirely wrong… Quite a bit of the division comes from pre-modern events and decisions.

Gabu ,

There’s beauty in the wings of a butterfly. Will that stop climate change, poverty, war and violence?

Gabu ,

I’m going to declare that positioning oneself against western civilization as if a moral guardian, yet embracing cancerous regimes like NK, Chinese dictatorship or Russian oligarchic dictatorship, is the hallmark of a moron that is working against Marxist interests.
