How can somebody who can hack into any corporation, think Ayn Rand had anything clever to say?

a tan won trump the presidency 😂 😅 🤣 🙊 🙈

The sticks and the knotted ones with butter!

Thank me later!

do the same with Pretzel

Pretzel + Butter = Orgasm In Your Mouths

3 small dominos have more area than 2 large, even though they are cheaper.

Possession is what you literally currently use, I am talking about property things that you do not currently use but still decide over. So the house you live in is in your possession (and also your property) but the 100 others you own are in your property not in your possession.

So nobody should ever be able to take the car you use even if yours is better than mine, or even if i dont have one. But nobody should be able to keep people from using anything they dont use themselves.

does that make sense?

regading selfishness - well currently they are, you are right, I would agree with you there

However just like a tiger in a small cage in a zoo does show unusual behaviour that deviates from its healthy behaviour in the wild. So do we humans under the conditions of lack of freedom show behaviour that is dysfunctional that would not be displayed would we live under freedom. Selfishness at least in that sense is a consequnce of our current conditions. However I do not believe human beings have to be angles before we can stop fencing of most of the world to most of the people.

thank you,

I didn’t downvote you, by the way.

I didn’t take you for the type to downvote me 😉

does this constitute a quine? I wrote a couple quines using bash but nothing as elegant as this

I don’t want to risk biting into a raisin…

Here I was thinking those were chocolate beans…

Property is theft. Possession is alright.

You shouldn’t be denied the stuff you actually use. But people definetly should not be allowed to hoard all the water in the world for themselves.

ASK YOURSELF how did they come to be in possesion of the land of the world?

at some point the entire planet was the commons. With WHAT right did they carve it up and claim it is theres for all eternety?

Just because you weren’t born at the right time you should be denied the use of the world as everybody else? first come first serve basis? how when it isnt yours to decide over.

the people who carved up the world and put their flags in it, and then put fences around anything so that we may never use it and are condemned to sit idly by have robbed all of us of our fair share.

the world is still belonging to the commons.

Nobody owns the air or the moon but only because the moon is out of reach and the air can’t be fenced off otherwise you would have to pay for tides and every breath you take. think about that.

Rethorical question: why didn’t property rights matter when the spanish went to south and middle america? why didn’t they matter when north america was lifted off of the original owners? but now if you take some guys land in the same exact area suddenly property rights matter?

so basically you can go around stealing off of everybody in the world but if somebody steals a lighter or pen off of you they go to jail? make it make sense…

When I torrent something

wrong.

I torrrented a gratis OS called Arch the other day. Please understand torrenting doesn’t equate to copyright infringement.

Well played!

we don’t have enough infrastructure to cover the world’s baseload demand by releasing stored energy.

Here is where my disagreement lies. There is multitude of ways to store potential energy. I understand your point that only 16% of the world’s energy usage can be covered by natural sites that lend themselves to this. There are other ways to do this though, for one there is old coal mines that may be repurposed for this. There is also already existing systems like the sewers that can be outfitted to also allow stormdrains to double for this after repurposing them. There is many more way to store potential energy physically than just pumping water up a hill or between different levels of underground ravines…

You could use electrolysis, I am not sure how feasible that would be, however the assertion that this simply won’t work I do not buy. You could simply wind a large number of springs or other such maybe natural systems to create the same effect.

All of our energy comes either from the sun or from other stars that ceased. The amount of energy that hits the earth in the form of sunlight is massive and is imho the only presently available energy source we could use today on a large scale. This of course would require a massive engineering effort, but to outright dismiss this sounds like trolling to me.

Not sure if you are being willfully obtuse, I’m going to assume good faith.

A dam is a hydroelectric plant. you need a river a ravine and a lot more conditions to be met.

This is what I was talking about: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pumped-storage_hydroelectricity

and technically speaking potential energy could be stored by lifting bolders and then harvest the released energy when they are allowed to come down. There are many ways to device systems like such. You could even go underground and use drilled wells with two reservoirs at different levels for this.

You are mistaken to dismiss this outright without at least looking at the wiki i linked.

You do not need batteries to store potential energy. You can pump water up a hill into a reservoir and then harvest the energy when you need it using hydroelectric energy.

Imagine not explaining your position instead only using derision.

El Barto if you are who you say you are, you will explain to us WHY the aforementioned is worthy of derision.

No we get Gozilla when we mine for underwater Tritium deposits using small nukes.

This guy orbs!
