Elderbean posted:Don't ever respect a libertarian, constantly remind them that they're retarded. They're some of the most gullible people on earth. Do we have a "libertarians are dumb" thread because we should. The last time I spoke to one I had to explain basic chemistry to him because he kept going on and on about fluoride. It's never surprising to me when a Libertarian Island Man goes full Nazi. Libertarians are kissing cousins to fascists. They believe strongly that the only legitimate organs of the state are the police and military which exist to enforce private property rights (the most important rights).

Elderbean posted:The thing about libertarianism is that is starts with reasonable claims like "the government should stay out of our private lives" and "the government serves corporations" but then if you let them talk enough it becomes "the police should only solve murders if the victims family pays them" and "companies should be allowed to put glass in food because the free market will sort it out." They acknowledge that these huge companies are robbing us blind but in their magical imagination they would all be benevolent if laws didn't exist because FREE MARKET. "Let's get rid of professional licences because rational actors will know not to go back to the 'doctor' who killed the one kid with quack treatments when the other kid gets sick. The Market will sort itself out."

Elderbean posted:Yeah libertarians have a very high opinion of the average consumer, you'd have to in order to make these dumbass "everyone will vote with their money" arguments. I have no faith in the average consumer. Moreover under an ideal capitalist world where everyone is beholden to The Dollar, how is the platonic ideal rational sophisticated Consumer gonna get accurate information? There's already a strong element of "pay to play" where bad reviews get buried on stuff like Yelp and the BBB. I have no doubt in your ideal libertarian society Dr. Nick's serial malpractice is only gonna be as visible to someone doctor shopping as his reluctance to pay kickbacks to DoctorbReview.com.

Former DILF posted:get a credit union Thirded. My former bank actually had to settle a class action for deliberately re-arranging transactions to maximize overdraft fees. I've even heard of banks that charge three figure overdraft fees which is insane , to me. I think my CU charges like $27 for overdrafts. I don't really pay any recurring or service fees for anything as long as I keep my direct deposit going to my checking. Join your local credit union and tell your bank to suck an egg.

I forget where I read it but there was a sci fi author decades ago who posited a future where the only way to live as a working class person was subsidized by ads every waking moment. On the walls of your apartment, piped in through speakers while you shower, playing on the alarm that wakes you up etc etc etc, just hammering at you. People who clawed their way up to lower middle class could afford the luxury of bare walls and quiet showers. Prescient.

I got my kids the newest Nintendo, the console reputed to be the safest and most kid friendly one, and it' serves them a steady stream of ads for more games to buy by default and I don't think there's a way to turn it off. I could just take it off the wifi but that would cripple a lot of their games.

Strom Thermos posted:sorry honey, I could only afford the handgun insert. I saw one of these armored backpacks demonstrated on local news the other day and the pitchman said it was "rated level IIIA" without explaing that that meant and proceded to show its effacacy with a suppressed MP5. I couldn't help but think they chose that over an actual pistol because scared parents who arent gunhaver dorks could reasonably mistake a pistol caliber SMG for an AR-15 and think it was rifle rated. Like the whole thing is obviously absurd at every possible level but how capitalism.mp4 cherry on top is it to trick them into thinking their kids are protected from The Scary Gun when they aren't?

Shame Boy posted:They wouldn't be protected from The Scary Gun even if they had level IV ballistic steel plate because a backpack is not body armor and you'd have to train your kid to like, try and find their backpack that's probably on the floor or somewhere and then get in a position where they can hide their entire body behind it during an active shooter situation instead of like, using the 5 or so seconds that wasted to do literally anything else more productive. And then you've got your kid in a position where even if the best option is running away, they'll psychologically want to stay put behind their magic backpack because it's "safe" or whatever. Oh yeah I agree the whole thing is absurd at every level but the cherry on top is even if everything works out PERFECTLY the kid still doesn't have the correct level of protection from the gun everyone is most scared of, and they seem to be deceptively selling it like they would be.

The one time I hired cleaners I made it as clear as I could possibly be before they showed up that I had let my place go entirely for months (brain problems after my dad passed) and was overwhelmed by the fact that it was a fetid goon den where i lived like a burrowing animal amidst trash and too paralyzed to start anywhere and willing to pay to get it fixed. I was incredibly explicit. And still when I got there it was like the dudes thought I was joking with how I initially described it and they increased the estimate a great deal (fine, I was astonished that the scope of the work I'd described had such a low intiial estimate) and just made me feel like complete poo poo in how they acted about it (less fine, I was completely up front about what I needed done and why). I don't know if there's a special kind of cleaners that deal in actual filth and squallor, from what I can tell most of them seem to be geared for upper middle class people to get their mirrors shined, davenports dusted, and dorknobs polished in otherwise clean house. Anyway that's my "hiring cleaners" story.

It's always been interesting to me that as sanitized and euphemistic as language has gotten to paper over class divides, the term is still "landlord." I guess people like the pretension of nobility.
