I think maybe this whole ‘political’ vs ‘not political’ thing is where we’re getting stuck.

I would argue that at least my part in this thread hasn’t been political at all, but instead a rather simple comment on the character of the two candidates. I’m more concerned with how they conduct themselves as people, not the policies they push as politicians. This is more a question of ethics and morality on human to human level. Your pointing out the ethics of genocide and capitalism. Which are great and completely valid points, but they’re also large nebulous concepts that can rarely ever land fully on the shoulders of one person. Kinda outside the scope of my original comment.

I haven’t brought up any specific details of eithers presidency because I have no meaningful opinions on that front. However, the simple fact that one of them has literally on multiple occasions outright glorified raping women and the other won’t pardon his own son of a serious crime is more than enough for me to put them on completely different shit podiums.

Not at all, I just disagree with you politically.

Kinda hard to know if that’s true considering I still haven’t stated any political opinions. However, since that’s clearly what you want, I think practically every politician (or anyone in a significant position of power) on the planet is a massive fucking tool barely deserving of the title of human, not exactly what I’d call idealism. Trump and Biden may both fit this description, but I’m still not naive enough to put them together on the podium of shitty human beings.

I think you might have a somewhat warped understanding of what the office of President actually is. Sure it has tremendous influence over the higher branches of the federal government and therefore the nation, and to a lesser extent the world. But, the office is hardly all powerful or even particularly capable of making all the decisions. The President can never be wholly to blame for all the bad things happening in the world, as much as we’d all like too.

Also, at no point have I actually argued that either one of our favorite culturally relevant old guys is good or bad. I only ever hinted at the inherent intent behind their actions and words, and questioned the soundness of electing someone that takes perverse joy in proving that he’s an overcooked cunt. Biden at the very least tries to mumble his way to kindness.

Not sure I would ever describe Biden’s behavior as malicious, unless ofc I missed something. Trump, on the other hand, is almost always verbally attacking someone else or otherwise sowing dissent. Kinda the definition of malicious intent.

So he’s old and maybe doesn’t know what’s going on anymore, what a surprise. Maybe don’t elect yet another one that has repeatedly proven themselves to be a blathering idiot AND malicious.

In machining/cnc land everything is a spring. I would suggest finding a way to print it with a more rigid setup. Maybe try putting some kind of support around the cylinder part way up.

I agree, getting rid of them all is starting to seem like a good idea.

And by all, I mean the perversely scummy government officials not the Palestinians getting murdered by said scummy government officials.

Your totally fine, I was mostly poking fun at how much of a nightmare things like this can be to read. I was probably a bit heavy handed with my comment though, sorry. Might’ve also been stoned and forgot to finish what I was trying to say, lol.

Dear, OP

Kindly go fuck thine self.

Yours truly, This dyslexic idiot.

Already done, but I still feel like there should be a modicum of etiquette around here and spamming the same post 15 times lands squarely in the ‘not nice’ category

It’s it really necessary to spam every news community on the platform, OP?

I thinks ultimately a massive waste of time to chase the dragon of a “best life”, it’s neigh unattainable and you’ll never know if you’ve reached it or not. Instead, focus on finding your own personal Norwegian balcony and fully enjoy those brief moments for what they truly are. Though I’ll be the first to admit that the last part can be really fucking hard sometimes.

I know your looking for a straight answer, but questions like this don’t really have satisfactory answers due to them not being scientific questions. The definition of “best life” will be fundimentally different for everyone and the actual best life for each person will be consequently unique. You might define your best life as having lots of money or cars, while I define mine as acquiring and sharing knowledge and skills. Neither life is superior, just yours might suck for me and mine might seem tedious to you.

That being said, given hypothetically infinite time, then everyone would logically get to live their defined best life at some point. However, because time has a definitive beginning (at least as we currently understand it) and is therefore not infinite, we would never be able to empirically know if we had reached peak life experience or if one of the infinite possibilities that never happened would have been better.

I know how to fix almost anything mechanical and I usually try to buy really high quality things when I can. It means spending more money up front, but things tend to last a lifetime and I don’t have to buy it again.

Does this mean that Yoda is forklift certified?

It’s giving off some serious Pontiac Aztec vibes

There is a critical difference between talent and skill. Talent is naturally understanding and being good at something quickly. Skill is something that can be acquired and honed to perfection regardless of talent.

If you want to learn a new skill, just start doing it and stop being afraid of failing at it. In fact, the failures and fuck ups are the single greatest mechanisms by which your skills will improve.
