Nice. There is definitely some oil field deserts in Texas, I've been to them. I mostly live in the city though.

That's awesome you're in to Taoism, I am a big fan of Taoism too. The Tao Te Ching is a great book, much wisdom in very few words

magnora7 · 2019-05-21T19:33:18+00:00

I'm from Texas and I've studied Mandarin Chinese. And Spanish, but I suck at it.

magnora7 · 2019-05-21T18:05:19+00:00

Ha alright, no worries

magnora7 · 2019-05-21T18:04:45+00:00

Authoritarianism is the result of many political systems... I can point to many historical examples of authoritarian governments that aren't socialist. That's all I'm saying.

magnora7 · 2019-05-21T16:34:24+00:00

I agree, but socialism is far from the only type of political system that leads to authoritarianism.

Nice. This game is awesome. I should give it another play.

I landed on the moon and several planets. The hardest thing I ever tried to do was crash in to the sun. I could never do it. It seems like it'd be easy to just "fall" in to the sun once you get off the Earth, but it's not. You have to undo all the sideways momentum from earth orbiting the sun with your rockets in order to properly fall toward the sun instead of orbit, and that takes a ton of fuel.

Kind of an eye-opening moment for me about how gravity works, and how much momentum everything has. It's very hard to get out of a stable orbit!

Anyway cool sub! Just wanted to share my Kerbal story.

magnora7 · 2019-05-21T15:19:32+00:00

Oh really? I could've sworn we did. Maybe we did mp4 for comment expandos but not post expandos? Since there's two different expando systems

magnora7 · 2019-05-21T15:19:04+00:00

I definitely agree with you on the education bit. Education these days is far more about rote memorization than wisdom. But maybe that's all it ever was.

The problem for the younger generation is when those "stumbling blocks" you mention become such onerous disasters that they crush the people and sweep them under if a misstep is made. That's what leads to the parlaying fear that causes the appearance of meekness that millennials are often chastised for. And simultaneously all their schooling and upbringing has taught them to solve problems through approved channels rather than trying to solve it themselves. So they've been highly incentivized that way more than any other generation.

I can't imagine how great America would be today if Ron Paul had won the presidency, instead of being boxed out by the corporate-owned (and CIA-owned) media.

magnora7 · 2019-05-21T15:12:54+00:00

Yeah, especially when the loans are essentially government-backed anyway if they fail. (Aka Too big to fail bailouts). That really takes the risk out of the equation for the insurance companies. So the high interest rates seem especially inhumane.

magnora7 · 2019-05-21T15:11:32+00:00

Yup :) My fluency is quite poor though to be honest and I'm much better at reading than listening. That's cool you speak it too snow :)

So Bitcoin had a fork called Bitcoin Cash.

Then Bitcoin Cash had a fork called Bitcoin SV (Satoshi Vision). It's been at about 1/5 the value of Bitcoin Cash. But last night it went crazy! Trying to find news on why...

magnora7 · 2019-05-21T13:19:13+00:00

Functionally the same, resulting in a 2-party system

magnora7 · 2019-05-21T13:19:02+00:00

Everyone thinks their system is best, this is not something unique to socialists

magnora7 · 2019-05-21T03:56:22+00:00

No. But people don't leave their doors unlocked in the US anymore, even in smaller towns.

magnora7 · 2019-05-21T02:46:40+00:00

while the middle class in America routinely leaves their doors unlocked and live lives free of fear.

Nice joke. Not sure where you're living, but this isn't true at all in most of the US.

magnora7 · 2019-05-21T02:45:58+00:00

Some inequality is ok. Ridiculous inequality is not okay because it harms economies and cultures and impoverishes millions.

magnora7 · 2019-05-21T02:45:15+00:00

Nice, that's cool. I've not been to any of those except 樹林. I really liked the east side of Taiwan, it's so tropical and relaxed.

magnora7 · 2019-05-21T00:46:14+00:00

One of the smaller offshoot cities of Taipei, don't want to dox myself by naming it

magnora7 · 2019-05-20T23:04:35+00:00

Good question. The sub has expandos enabled, so it should be there. It also didn't generate a thumbnail. Maybe something is off about the video in some way, or it's encoded with a different metatag system or something.

magnora7 · 2019-05-20T22:03:15+00:00

It's an enforced duopoly by the big two parties.

It's Pepsi vs Coke, and all I want is water.
