just like the bikes i was talking about earlier

"nature is goooood. civilization baaaad". ignoring the fact we built civilization becuse nature wants to rip our balls off the moment we step into it.

Grenade, used iPhones don't always make it to other countries

no, but we throw enough away that more than enough do

Apple pays most electronics recyclers and redistributors not to allow their old products to go anywhere except an electronics shredder

well theres always a cost to logistics

it reminds me of that stupid article i saw of people drinking "raw water".

lol what

@Revan okay, not just iphones. smart phones in general follow the same trend

iphone is just the most ridiculous because of the price.

"why are new technologies only available for the rich?!"

@Grenade123 the article you posted on ahitposting was where i hot that comment from btw

i know

its why posted it

Lol got cha

Def does belong in shit post lol

Very accurate

There is a book series i like from one of my favorite authors. These aliens come and basically just take over the planet for its resources. But this one guy finds out they really like something stupid, like maple syrup. They pay him in what is basically trash electronics to them. But to humans, this is like sci-fi tech. Which makes him basically rich and advances humans far enough along to eventually beat the aliens.

Dude that sounds fucking awesome what the name ?

Author is John Ringo, he makes several series that i love, book series is Troy Rising

Thats cool i will take a look at it

there is only 3 books i think he sort of abandoned the series but its complete enough.

I really need to start reading ....

then start. 😃

@YuXiang easy to start hard to proceed and finish for me

i read whenever im on public transport

...i should get a ereader my nvidia shield tablet ... i use it to watch anime

I usually read either when I'm on vacation or if my car is in the shop

Ironically, you have a long list of outstanding books to read. Two of them are the same copy of Seven Habits of Highly Effective People lol

Right now and movies

he has another series called "Looking Glass" which all the book titles are related to the jabberwolky poem.

@Dan V i have two copies because i think they didnt have the pics in them ... im a pirate

i think in that one they eventually turn a sub into a spaceship.

then go wandering the universe

Into The Looking Glass

thats the first book

Thats fucking cool

also called "Voyage of the Space Bubble" series

lmao

My dad used to read , the badlands ?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voyage_of_the_Space_Bubble

Books are def way better than movies

Usually yes

"discovers that it is in fact a hyperdrive which, when grafted to the former SSBN Nebraska creates the first Warp Ship, the Alliance Space Ship Vorpal Blade."

there is literally a line when the announce the space ship that the one guy goes "Alliance Space Ship? really? The ASS Vorpal Blade?"

if i somehow manage to gather enough self discipline to read a book, i feel like fiction would be a waste

Vorpal Blade , the first time i ever heard of that was a star wars rpg book i was reading

science fiction often leads to science fact.

but not all of it

so apparently

also recommend his black tide rising series if you like Zombie stuff.

Wil Wheaton is a fascist

not being hyperbolic

hes advocating for Counter.Social

Orly ?

which the far left says is fascist

they block whole countries

out of fear of attacks

Oh yeah someone covered that yesterday

the founder used to hack islamist and jihadi websites

But muh russia so it's OK

former US serviceman of some sort

someone extremely far left is actually fascist? Color me shocked

"mastodon.xyz status
@status
Follow
🇬🇧 We no longer federate with counter.social.

This means it is now impossible to see statuses, to follow and to interact in any way with people on this instance.

counter.social blocks whole countries they considerate hostile and we believe this is a huge error. This is pure racism, tainted with hate and we don't want to promote this behavior.

counter.social is the only blocked instance on xyz. While we want to be as open as possible to all opinions, we don't want to be open to fascists."

Wow

Mastodon must be Russian bots.

Must be

Damned Russians.

Lmao lulz kek 🐸

They're ruining everything

"they're jingoist liberals. jester was in the military. they support the american state unapologetically.

that's functionally the same as fascism because america is built on a fascist mythos. "manifest destiny", "monroe doctrine", "world policeman", etc. are all fascist."

No

one

eats like Gaston

Mini wheats like Gaston

No one says “this bitch empty” and y e e t s like Gaston

lmao

John Brennan type liberals.

They control and monitor everything, and will black-bag you as soon as look at you, but they hate the right people so it's OK.

i mean, the right is their competition no?

just like once they get into power, they kill everyone in their party

gotta get rid of competition until you are on top

Lie under oath to congress like it's nothing and then castigate you for pointing it out like you're an enemy of the state.

Because they are the state. They have to protect the people from themselves, and that includes congress.

is being a government official a type of mental illness?

no

is a requirement

i bet

wait, the "monroe doctrine" is fascist?

opposing European colonialism is fascism?

no

I hate those kinds of creatures. People who abuse their office, usurp power reserved for elected officials, and then sneer and condescend when you catch them. Corrupt to the core and obsessed with power, but so sure that they're right and moral that they grandstand without a shred of shame. Michael Hayden is another, and so is James Clapper.

I don't know if "The Jester" is cut from the same cloth but it seems that way.

It's a kind of God complex I guess.

yeah if people treat you like a god, you start behaving like one

the political position is corruptive itself

Intelligence officials seem to be the most easily corrupted due to the power and knowledge they have at their fingertips, and the ease with which it can be weaponized against anyone who might act to check their power.

wil wheaton is on counter social and mastodon

he has his bubbles set up

one bubble is a nationalist patriot server

so why is he demanding that twitter do as he say?

hes a fascist

he is a nationalist or supports nationalist platforms
