You wish, like the family wealth of the Simpsons, Idiocracy showed a potential future that now seems pretty good.

Welcome to Costco, I love you.

Wild that Idiocracy is turning into an aspirational movie

No representation without taxation? Close but not quite

No representation but taxation? Yeah, that sounds better.

Also to note its kinda funny after all this time the us has been degrading in political choice (don’t blame me I voted for Kodos) and voice (representation) while the common wealth nations have mostly been doing fine with more then two parties.

Ha, you fools still pay for doors and locks? My house is now 100% done with fake locks and doors, they are so much lighter and easier to install.

Wait! why am I always getting robbed lately, it can not be my fake locks and doors! It has to be weirdos online following what I do.

You are who you associate with.

Must be why in most democratic nations you have no freedom of association.

Prison? No, that is not a fair response. Community service? sure. But I would say the same thing for an adult.

The sad part is that their home nation can not really do much to teach about the evils of genocide to this youth so I imagine this will be more of a “you made us look bad” sort of think.

More I expect stupid actions from people in general but I don’t think 16 year olds are any worse then most adults. I used midwesterners as an example of people in the USA that are not the most or least likely to do something really stupid. (more a dig on americans in general)

the fact that teenagers have underdeveloped reasoning skills

I can get that to a degree (like a 13 year old) but by 15 or 16 I expect about the same level of adulting as a US midwestern adult (not really a super high bar but enough to know that doing a nazi salute in a place dedicated to the memory of the victims of nazis while on a school trip from the only nation made up of the primary target of those same nazis, might be a life changing act).

I just don’t get the level of coddling that is now going on with an increasingly older limit of what is considered children. I remember working my first part time job at 13 and told by older people then they moved out at the same age (so I should stop complaining or some such), and now I am told about 25 year old “kids”. Its nuts, these are functioning people and although yes some stupid actions are expected when young there is no reason to not hold people to at least a modicum of responsibility.

nice mental gymnastics here

Ok that is fucking gold.

Nazi shit, from an israeli teen. I can’t wrap my head around chocking such a onion worthy act getting written off by “boys will be boys”.

Actually now I think on it, almost any time I hear about “dumb teen” stuff I think they get away with way more then what is healthy for society.

Close but its more of a RFK sorta thing (really just as much of an exclamation)

Dr. Doom while fictional has standards.

The stock market is delaminated from the real market, and has been for a while.

How this has happened is not simple but a short version is that as the stock market has evolved it became a key place to put assets with a level of growth expectation. As time goes on the demand for a place for investment without effort (starting your own business vs investing in a businesses stock) keeps getting larger and the alternatives keep getting less desirable (bonds, GICs, etc.) causing a sort of investment feedback loop. There is X amount of money that needs to be invested each year lets say, and if every thing is crashing (waves at the general state of things) it means nothing is since pensions, people and firms still need to have that investment somewhere.

As long as there is still some expectation of return and faith in the current stock market you will have investment and as stocks (and therefor the market) are measured by the demand (the buy vs the sell) we have the current situation. If you want to see what happens when a stock market looses people’s faith and therefor investment look at China’s stock market crash https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015%E2%80%932016_Chinese_stock_market_turbulence

The most basic test to separate people from beasts.

Is it odd I like this? Would actually like to live in that place.

I still use it on my living room PC to this day. No issues so far (steam still works fine as well).

Just like anything make sure you have backups and watch your accounts.

still very flushed. And that means you will live forever, right?

Their well flushed kidneys.
