Yeah looks like I did something wrong. Must have just been looking at the numbers raised by powers of 2. Good find! Thank you

The documentary side is going to be completely ignored and you hate to see it. There will be talking in the background about a skyscraper or a ferris wheel, but the drama of the murders and intricate planning therein will surely be the bulk of the movie.

There is no generation war. There is a class war though, and this guy is not on our side.

That video feels more and more real the older I get.

The only way this can happen to me is if the power goes out and my phone is dead.

Some quick math tells me you need 256 bits. Big numbers are wild

I think that is an interesting thought. But it's not necessary to be a repost to be a meme. The propagation happens not only from the reposting, but the voting. It's more likely to be viewed more if it's up voted by many. The theme itself can be Dawkins' meme without being copied verbatim via reposting.

He knows how bad it is and still became a parasite.

Ancient people used lead dishware for millenia. I honestly don't think any modern lead poisoning is new or worse than it has been in most of the world. Id buy it if lead poisoning for the common person was more likely now, but there is no chance it is more severe with all of the regulations most of the world has today.

Yes, perhaps global food scarcity is less manufactured than I made it out to be. I agree with that solution, too. But the fact that people in the "richest" country in the world are dying of hunger is downright despicable, and there is no doubt that it is manufactured here in the US. We have the food and the owning class lets it rot so they can have cheaper servants.

From what I've come to understand, local governments are your friend. It's the corporations running a train on them that messes up money allocation! Not to mention investors coming in and buying up swathes of land and using all of the public water for their alfalfa in the desert

I am not an expert in any relevant field, but I have thoughts. I'd love to be told I was wrong by experts.

1. Are governments actually in more disarray today than in previous periods of history? Or do they just seem that way due to the media sensationalizing the bad? Do we just not hear about wins around the world due to their inability to generate clicks and therefore conclude that the world is only horrible? I posit that we tend to overestimate the bad when compared to the good.

2. Again, not an expert, but have the richest had this much influence across history? We have never been so reliant on the goods owned by huge corporations? We (humanity) grow so much food, but let people go hungry to keep the cost of food high, because the bean counters determined it more profitable. In a post-scarcity society, we shouldn't need to work 3 jobs or skip insulin. Scarcity is artificially baked into the economy so that the rich can exploit our labor. Late stage capitalism, basically.

His statement did. He did not.

If you cannot afford to shop elsewhere, then I don't see how it's reasonable to fault you for that. But if you can justify spending a little less and want to avoid it, then I'm sure you know what I would suggest. Do or do not, a wise man once said.

Are you frustrated that you can't muster the willpower to avoid shopping there? The website was literally designed to get you addicted to it. The man himself has said as such. There are browser extensions that will block specific url families. I wouldn't be surprised if entire extensions were designed for that website specifically.
