Because there's fewer foreign bots trying to make you hate everyone in your country, and fewer social media engagement bots trying to make sure you stay online arguing with someone.

Why not? They were fixing Windows XP remote-execution exploits all the way up to 2017. For free, for anyone to download.

And that stuff is only used to take down children's hospitals, they don't waste 0-day exploits on some rando's home PC.

Unskilled labour refers to those in the precarious and more easily replaced position of workers. It is used by labour advocates to identify those with a greater need for union representation.

It isn't an insult. And the never-ending euphemism treadmill only serves to divide generations and make a handful of people feel important.

This knee-jerk reaction to the term "unskilled labour" reminds me of the one that replaced the term "ebonics" with "AAVE", implying that the black men that came up with the term were offensive.

Linux isn't hard anymore because I have ChatGPT to come up with all the command lines for me. And they work 60% of the time!

Reddit shadowbans all new accounts. So new users have no idea why nobody replies to them for the first 3 months.

I used to make shunt resistors out of a pencil and a piece of paper. Rub pencil all over paper, cut strips to size of required resistance.

EDIT: I mean megaohm resistors not shunt resistors. 20MOhm for DIY theramin.

AI is great for when you're typing out 30 slight variations of the same thing, and you can just be like "see what I'm doing here? Do it for the other 30 variables" and it does it just fine.

Most of the drugs they ban like cannabis are because of a UN convention that, under US pressure, forced them to, in the 1960's and 1970's.

The data surrounding cooperatives don't appear to indicate any danger to large firms and other Capitalist entities dominating markets.

Can I see that data?

Since I'm sure you're arguing in good faith here and have actually looked at some data, and you're not just making things up.

Umm, no. Elected politicians can do whatever tf they want. There's no legal mechanism to make them fulfill the promises they made during their campaign.

The next election is the mechanism that makes them fulfill the promises they've made during their campaign. If your politicians aren't afraid of losing the next election, you don't live in a real democracy, you probably live in a FPTP country, and you should fix that.

Not to mention that elected politicians aren't controlled by the people, most of the government positions aren't elected.

I don't know what country you are assuming counts as the entire world with this sentence, I'm going to assume America because it's usually Americans that do that.

But even then, what is wrong with me hiring someone to hire more people?

Democracy is when Government is owned by people. People own government through democracy. Great argument.

What is your counterargument other than "no"?

If you ask government to persecute people who break the law, do you no longer own people who break the law?

You can't own people, you never did, what are you trying to ask here?

What do YOU think the people owning the means of production looks like?
