Some one already commented on this but I thought your comment was so rich I can't help myself. At no point did I say GPUs did that. I very clearly state, humanity in general does. It literally reads as such in your own post where you quote me saying "humanity" and not "GPU". They're not even spelled similarly. Clearly you're the one with a reading comprehension problem. I mean really, twice in a row with this shit really looks bad for you.
Pro-tip: If you're going to act like a jackass by calling people names and questioning their intellect you had better make sure you know what you're talking about otherwise you look so much worse than the pettiness you are trying to dish out.
"If you want to troll you have to use some figure that sounds like someone somewhere might actually believe it. According to you the atmosphere is 100% CO2 at this point. I'm still breathing pretty well."
Heh, you're the one who doesnt know what they're talking about. Humanity produces thousands of millions of tons of co2 alone every year https://www.statista.com/stati... . If bitcoin mining did produce millions of tons of green house gases (I have no idea how much it produced) it certainly wouldn't change much let alone leave us with an atmosphere that "is 100% CO2 at this point"
Maybe make sure you know what you're talking about before you go calling people trolls.
If you follow the conversation back you fucked up on your lingustic negatives and postives and implied you were a communist.
As for the rest, this conversation thread was never about communism in general until you decided it was out of nowhere. It was from the start about the Cuban healthcare system.
When you went off topic I got bored and started making fun of you.
Just a heads up for your war against communism by the way. The American communist party has an estimated membership of about 5,000 ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wik... ) which might as well be zero then as 5,000 isn't enough to do anything.
"what good does it to do raise your wages since if seems like prices will just go up to compensate. If the Union gets a 20% raise then the next day the cost of milk goes up 20%, right?"
That would be true if the cost of the product of milk was 100% from that Union's wages. It isn't though so this isn't true at all. In fact, if we assume you're referring to a grocery store union, their wages make up only a very tiny portion of what you pay for a product.
So? Unless a lot of their employees work only one day a week 7 grand a year is a paltry sum.
To put it in perspective, 7k a year comes out to $134 a week. If some one is working 3-4 days a week ( I don't know how reliable this is but this site lists average part time hours at 20-30, https://marketrealist.com/2013... ) that is not very much at all. Wages like that one would have to work multiple jobs 7 days a week just to get above poverty level wages.
"The solution to that is not to create more government, you fucking retards."
Sorry but from over here you're the "fucking retard". What "more government" should we not create that will solve this problem (your language here, not mine)?
Maybe you mean government should be smaller? Great so we'll get rid of the EPA and FDA? No, that would have the exact opposite effect that we want as now companies can act in a completely unrestrained manner. In other words, even more power is allowed to the wealthy.
"They're only looking at the CEOs of the largest companies. Actual Average CEO salary is $162K [payscale.com], not $18.9M, and that doesn't count failed CEOs."
That's great and if the CEOs of the largest companies earned a wage that was in line with the average (obviously scaled up due to the larger size of their companies) no one would be talking about this. But they don't so we are....and we are all aware that figure doesnt count failed CEOs. Anyone can lose their job due to a company failing and none of their post layoff zero dollar wages count towards averages for their profession. In fact, CEOs of failed companies are typically the best off relative to their other employees.
"The biggest problem in the US right now is access to healthcare, but no one has a reasonable plan."
No, every other first world nation has already figured out a reasonable plan. Socialized medicine has shown itself to be massively cheaper then our current system and is available to anyone regardless of their personal wealth and impoverishes no one. There are even very different models for socialized healthcare in different first world nations and they are all better than our current system.
"It's not a contrary political opinion, communism very openly states... "
So you're a communist then? Will the wonders never cease! Don't care for communism myself but this is a free country despite what people like yourself have been telling me.
And then you're telling me communism as an overall system doesn't work? I'd never state anything to the contrary but that's a strange thing for a communist to say.
The complete banning of the amunition an arm needs to shoot is pretty much equivalent to banning the fire arm so my point still holds and if any one disagrees I'm pretty sure I kind find some sort of arms that are completely banned in the US which is all I need for my point to be correct.
If you're going to argue in favor of mass gun ownership then at least put it context like protection from government (our own and others), the actual reason for the 2nd amendment, that is harder to argue against. Simply lifting your head up and looking at almost every other first world nation that has far stricter gun control laws then ours you'll see societies that are, if not massively safer, just as safe as ours.
Also, if you're going to site numbers try to make sure they are even close to correct so if some one checks them you don't look like a total idiot. Here are the actual average response tmes for priority calls in Seattle http://council.seattle.gov/201... . You're a little off to say the least.
Wow, you must have a hell of a time telling dogs and cats apart. I mean, they're both pets! They both eat from food dishes in the home! They both have hair! They both are color blind! They even both have two eyes!
How does anyone tell anything apart in this mad world of ours!?
Your source begins with some random lone person stating in their post "The reason I am interested is because last semester 3 out of 5 of my professors were Marxist " and goes on from there with just more of that. A few lines down apparently "The entire anthropology department at Rutgers is Marxist. ".
Your right wing reddit grief fest is just as convincing as Fox's War on Christmas. Shit, we don't even know what they mean by "Marxist". I see plenty of conservatives calling people communists for the slightest Left wing views.
Basically, your anecdotal evidence is garbage. If this is "proof' to you of anything it certainly explains why you think radical Leftism is a major thing in the most Right wing first world nation on earth. Most of who I see referred to as "radical leftists" by conservatives in this country are called moderates in every other civilized country on the planet.
""I can still see the Dell I grew up using as clear as day, like I just connected to NetZero yesterday. It sat in my eldest sister's room, which was just off the kitchen. "
What a terrible place for a computer. How is anyone supposed to get any masturbation done with it when it is so close to the kitchen and in a siblings room?
"I hate to be the one to break this to you, but a lot of people, especially in our universities, are suggesting exactly that. Distributing society's resources equally among all people is a highly attractive idea."
Only in America's far right's fantasy is this true.
Site a source.
And no, a few lone assholes won't be enough any more than Fox "news" siting people being assholes over Christmas as evidence of a wide spread "war on Christmas".
"Venezuela and Cuba have socialized medicine and also have bad economies so socialized medicine = bad economies.
What? The entirety of the first world also has socialized medicine except America and they pay less than half per person than America does for its healthcare?
Kind of a shame they don't have a lower priced tier for the less affluent. $58 isn't a bad price for what you're getting but for some people that's a lot of money. I know Comcast in my area has internet service plans for cheaper then that. The service sucks of course but it does reliably get you onto the internet every day,
Slashdot Mirror
Same but I live in California which is a more expensive place for everything then 99% of the rest of the country.

Right, they shouldn't get any credit for proposing this now because they didn't in the past.
That's um.... that's.... something alright....
Oh shit, that graph was just for the US so the parent really was most like spot on. Way to go dumbass.

Shit, I got my threads all mixed up. Probably alf my last post doesnt make sense. Just ignore it.

Right, the only alternative to our current system has to be Venezuela. What a clever genius you are.

What a clever child you are!
Maybe if you can't handle contrary political opinions to your own you should fuck off out of America because that's what we're all about.
Here we go, hand grenades :)

You're correct, for a third world nation it's fucking amazing.
Context matters my friend.
