@rtsn That's why I kept my bitcoin wallet around for a long time. It's worth $1000 now; never did remember the password.
-
@clacke Intersting as a comparison with steampunk. I think the reason that steampunk is cool is that it was the first universal power source though.
-
acceptable download speeds from osuosl but youtube can't even handle 144p, speedof.me won't fully load, and neither will Twitch.
-
@vinzv That talk is pretty good though.
-
@brennen Pretty sure this is how the fediverse always operated, I have evan grilling sausages on my patio right now.
-
Also sorry for filling everyone's timeline with politics stuff. That went on for a good few hours.
-
@lnxw48a1 I wasn't referring to food donation there (although they're shielded from liability there since 1996) but food that they've thrown into the trash.
-
@cereal "Nobody suffers from hunger" is an arbitrary personal goal?
-
@cereal Also what's "overproduce"? You certainly didn't produce enough for *everyone* to eat, because otherwise they wouldn't be rooting through your trash for food. This comes back to "prices are a bad way of selecting for needs and wants".
-
@cereal Alternately: if this is only a problem if you overproduce then why the hell does capitalism overproduce so damn much?
-
@cereal Overproduction of certain goods is literally impossible to avoid. You aren't baking a fresh croissant for everyone who comes into the bake shop, and the croissant will be stale tomorrow.
-
@cereal Everyone has a context. I happen to have US numbers closer to hand because I live in the US, but do I think that we can feed, clothe, and house everyone? Yes. Let's assume that we can't though, because we don't need a system to be perfect, we need it to be better. Would we be *better* able to feed, clothe, and house the world population if wealth wasn't so concentrated within the capitalist class? I contend yes.
-
@cereal Wait, or do you think that shit doesn't actually, literally, really happen? Any USians want to back me up about how stores will intentionally poison or otherwise go out of their way to make sure you can't eat edible food that's being thrown away?
-
@cereal Because it does make sense in capitalist logic. If the cost of poisoning the food is less than the presumed cost of people who woul otherwise buy food from you but are now getting it free from your trash, why wouldn't you?
-
@cereal I only restricted myself to the US theter because I know 100% that it happens here. I didn't want to speak for any other countries.
-
@quad im 12 and you're under arrest for violations of the computer fraud and abuse act https://media.tenor.com/images/ae6d71cdb35082ac7a77afe20aad28c4/tenor.gif

On the topic of food, how many calories are intentionally poisoned by the capitalist system every year in the US? As in "we were going to throw this edible thing away, but someone could eat this without us receiving a profit so poison it or chain it up"
-
@cereal I'm just using some shorthand. You want to try and break out how many calories of food are made in the US divided by how many people? Or how much fabric is produced? Shoot me a metric.
-
@cereal Don't misrepresent my opinions, stalin is a sack of shit and I'm not a tankie. We're not even talking alternate systems at this point, we're talking capitalism.
