    > Communism would work just fine if it were run by a benevolent A.I.
    Might as well say libertarianism could work if humans were perfect and altruistic.
    Communism will never work because the perfect AI will never exist.

  4. > every person must have the desire to push oneself to the limit
    Yeah, no. Some other person might be willing to sacrifice everything for the job, but some people actually have families that matter to them, and actually want to be able to spend the money they make at work doing things they enjoy rather than just wasting all day at work.

    The agency in charge of collecting your taxes is not allowed to provide a portal where you can submit them your tax information, and instead you have to pay a company to fulfill your legal obligation to file taxes?
    What a dystopian shit hole.

    My advice would be to eat a smaller burger, but that's just me.

    Processed food is a fairly common colloquial term for ready to eat type prepared foods. Maybe look up tertiary food processing.
    Nothing to do with fear or luddites. Technology is involved in most food production.
    It's a descriptor of what it is. Just like crabsticks are processed food.
    Everything to do with wanting to know and control what exactly I am eating.

    If you don't want to eat meat, why not just eat vegetables instead of highly processed vegetable protein made to look and taste like meat through additives?

  15. Re:Businesses do not pay tax on 'Making Amazon Look Bad': Microsoft Is Backing a Major Tax On Itself and Amazon (geekwire.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    You are simplifying things in the other direction from GP.
    Yes, businesses will raise their price as high as they can, but burger places are competitive, so consumers have the choice of going to a cheaper place. So there will be an equilibrium between maximizing profits and not going to far from the competition. (assuming there is no price fixing)
    A tax will affect all the competition as well, so there is a good chance the price of burgers will go up across the board.

    Of course you ignore China and the US because you have no real argument.

  18. I'm going to disagree.
    Growing up I called them lego, my parent's called them lego, everyone I knew called them lego.
    Legos sounds stupid, like "meccanos" or "sheeps."
    That said, I don't care if other people sounds stupid, so go ahead and call them what you want.

    UK has always been responsible for their borders.
    UK politicians chose to not enforce their borders and deport EU citizens mooching off welfare.
    They blamed the EU, even though other EU countries deport people just fine.
    They are just blaming the EU for their own incompetence.

    In two years they went from "easiest trade deal, we hold all the cards, germany has to sell us cars, have our cake and eat it" to "we always knew our economy would crash and we would lose jobs, we never promised a deal, we will survive just like the blitz".
    Fucking idiots and grifters all of them.

  22. Seems like boeing has learned a thing or two from EA.
    Soon there will be microtransactions.
    "pay 100 coins to lower the landing gear or wait 5 minutes"
    "pay 1000 coins to use redundant sensors for more reliable readings"

  23. Pretty sure calling for someone to be killed is more illegal (and immoral for that matter) than anything he did.

  24. Blaming pewdiepie for killings is the same retardation Jack Thompson was doing trying to blame GTA and other games for school shooters. People are responsible for their own actions.

  25. That just proves that you are crazy.
