  11. I love it when scumbag giant corps get huge tax breaks for existing. Because if one knows anything they're certainly hurting for money. And that money certainly trickles down to all of their line workers. Not like said line workers have to periodically go on strike just to get a portion of what they justly deserve. Maybe just maybe we would have enough money to fix all of our social issues if we taxed these amoral big businesses for a change instead of giving them non-stop sloppy fe77atio instead. We have so much wealth in this state and yet so much unnecessary lack and underprivilege. Just amazing. The entire political class just doesn't gaf. Doesn't matter which party they're all in the pocket of the 1%. They're all trash. Can't even get fair rules in the legal weed industry...just stunning. Absolutely EVERYTHING has to go to the 1% and already big business - nobody else deserves genitals. All of our material issues could be fixed tomorrow by simply taxing the big business and 1% class. But why do that?? Better soak the poor and middle class instead and keep cutting essential services from the bottom half. That's much more rational.

  12. I actually would have preferred more continuity in TNG but I understand why they did it the way they did. A few story lines would have benefited well from being flushed out over a partial or whole season arc imo. I don't need things to be consistently perfect not to be able to enjoy the optimistic overall Rosy vision of the future. More long-term storylines and more indepth explanation for some plot points would have been great but it was still a fantastic adventure for this 80s kid.

  14. That was hellaciously well done. Never again did TNG add do anything ostensibly gross. I actually wish they did because it was pretty darn well done and freaked me out too. 😂

  15. You watched Picard twice?? Wow .. ... That is one hell of a pain tolerance. I deeply salute you. I could not have managed such a sacrifice.

  16. It has many positives. I don't love it but it feels fairly well done. I think I want to give it a strong B.

  17. I'd say the TOS films were at least memorable.... Most having iconic or memorable moments.... For whatever reason the TNG films really stumbled.... I agree that Nemesis was the weakest but they all were mediocre at best, although to this day I'll still watch all of them if given the chance because hey, they're still fun. But yes for some reason that I haven't been able to fully put my finger on the TNG film franchise always felt much weaker to me than the TOS films. There's just something about that ragtag original cast group...

  19. All this nonsense could change with better laws by electing leftists but unfortunately in this country the red/blue criminal duopoly maintains a real good chokehold on the political process and most of the electorate is pretty dumb and likes to vote against themselves every time. But better laws could definitely change all of this quickly and for the better.

  20. It all stems from the federal government, the states, and local counties disinvested in public education. All by design. They don't want anyone upgrading from their slave class. The more teachers burn out the more they can claim oh look public education doesn't work when they're the ones who have been intentionally crippling at the entire time. Don't think this isn't entirely malicious and manufactured by the demons we call politicians in this country. They all work for big business big business has a vested interest in destroying all public services so they can move in to profit like the vultures they are. Nobody would be having this problem if all public educational districts were adequately and generously funded. Don't you ever wonder why they're constantly cutting educational budgets and funding levels for other beneficial and moral public services? But somehow this never extends to cutting prison funding, Pig funding, or giveaways to private profiteers? It's all by design my friend it's all by design. Democrats are slightly less bad but they're all corrupt they all hate us and they're all trying to sell us out to the highest Wall Street bidder. Neoliberal demons and right-wing fascist filth don't believe in public anything. They believe in a might makes right, fight to the death of death match where the so-called weak or winnowed out and only the strongest and most well-connected get to run home with all the resources. THIS is what we're up against- THIS is Reaganomics- THIS is the takeover by the predatory 1% class. The bottom half gets sacrificed so a thin layer on top can siphon off all the public and private resources and make infinite profits. Soon I'll be right back to where we were in the middle ages, 90% poor destitute and serving as the fetal slave class and the one to 5% ruling nobility. THIS IS HOW THEY SEE ALL OF SOCIETY. THEY ARE THE DIVINE MASTERS THAT GOD HAS SET ASIDE TO OWN ALL CONTROL ALL DOMINATE ALL, HAVE ALL...... And everyone else exists in various stages of destitution serving and being owned by them. THIS IS THE BILLIONAIRE AND MULTI-MILLIONAIRE WET DREAM, and you're seeing it play out in a plethora of ways both big and small locally and at a wider nationwide level....

  21. ​ @charlesspringer4709  I'm sorry you were unhappy teaching but not everyone is the person they're going to end up being at 45 when they're 15. It takes time for people to find a passion in life. Everyone matures a different rates, young people have attitudes that take a while to grow out of. Maybe you should have been called to the office I don't know.... I know you have a right to teach but there are some things you need to overlook. You're teaching teens not 30 year olds if you can't handle that then you should get out of the field. You sound like the same old teachers I hear on the channels that f**** circle jerk and justify child abuse and youth denigration. If a child doesn't prostrate themselves in front of you you feel disrespected is that it?????? If you feel no empathy compassion or respect for the youth that you come in contact with any day then I think you've chosen the wrong job. You don't think young people can sense that you have no respect for them? Some will just internalize it or may not be consciously aware of it, others may use it as an excuse to display subtle acts of defiance. I agree that system has a lot of flaws and needs some fixes but I think that the root cause of your issues is your attitude. Your tone drips with contempt for young people. YOU DON'T THINK PEOPLE CAN SENSE THIS?!? THINK AGAIN! You should probably quit now because what you want from your classrooms is unrealistic. You expect everyone to pass out from all at the subjects you teach and bow down in front of you. This will NEVER be the case in the public sphere. Perhaps you should seek positions in the private school sector in college prep schools since you're so clearly temperamentally unsuited to empathize with students who are anything less than perfect. The problem is you have deep lack of character fissures and don't want to admit the problem is yourself. I can't stand people like you and frankly your entire post disgust me and I've seen so many of them lately. Teachers informer teachers bitching about how rotten and miserable their students are holy fuck - NEVER ONCE THINKING MAYBE THEIR ATTITUDE IS THE PROBLEM! Despite how you may have been raised young people are people too and they deserve the same respect as anyone else. I agree you shouldn't have to tolerate open disrespect in your classroom but low level whispering is something that I think you should overlook. IF YOU DEMAND A PERFECT MILITARY LEVEL COMPLIANCE AND OBEDIENCE THEN YOU HAVE NO PLACE IN A PUBLIC SCHOOL AND YOU NEED TO GET YOUR FUCKING BITCH ASS OUT NOW BECAUSE YOU ARE WAY OUT OF YOUR DEPTH!!!!

  22. ​@Pencfun I mean did we expect any different? I think all anti- striking bills should be declared unconstitutional not to mention immoral. They hate public employees I mean these people are just rife with contempt for anything that isn't a wealthy elite. They're truly vile non-human individuals. They want passive slaves in the public system as well as in pretty much any job. If someone doesn't have the right to fight for better than they're easy to abuse and exploit. The right wing was never about anything other than slavery. NEVER ONCE.

  25. ​ @Jablicek  wow that's very sad but you should have always spoken up to authorities. That's why teachers in the public system have to be mandated reporters. You should have done it regardless of your job when it comes to the safety of minors. The fact you could sleep at night is disturbing. You had a moral responsibility to stand up against satanic evil parents who are hurting their kids. I'm deeply disappointed you're now publicly admitting you wouldn't do this because you wanted to keep your job. You should have left the very next day and gone to the news and the local police departments. You should have exposed the school as a conspirator and an accessory to child abuse. Shame on you for being a coward. There are children that suffered serious abuse or might be dead now because individuals in your position kept your mouth shut. No amount of money is worth that. I hope one day you get a conscience. Cowardice kills. You should be ashamed of yourself. You did bad and you should feel bad.

  26. ​ @charlesspringer4709  as a former teacher you don't think your job and your rights should be protected? If that qualifies as a racket to you then worms have definitely eaten your brain and this conversation should cease now because there's nowhere for it to go. And actually know we don't, because HOAs are legal. If that's not naked organized crime I don't know what is.

THE TOTAL OWNERSHIP DOMINATION AND SUBJUGATION OF EVERYONE BY A TINY FEW WHETHER THAT BE WHITE PEOPLE, ELITE BUSINESS OWNERS OR SOME OTHER FAVORED GROUP. EVERYONE ELSE IS TO BE TO THE POINT OF HAVING NO INDEPENDENT WILL OR ABILITY. THAT IS WHAT THEY SEE AS AN ORDERLY UNIVERSE AND AN ORDERLY SOCIETY. IT'S FASCISM 101.

  31. @charlesspringer4709 as a former teacher you don't think your job and your rights should be protected? AGAIN WHY ARE YOU SAYING YOU AS A TEACHER SHOULD HAVE NO POWER OVER YOUR JOB CONDITIONS?!?? THIS MAKES NO SENSE TO ME UNLESS YOU ARE A PLANTED TROLL OR A BOT, WHICH IS IT?!? If that qualifies as a racket to you then worms have definitely eaten your brain and this conversation should cease now because there's nowhere for it to go. And actually know we don't, because HOAs are legal. If that's not naked organized crime I don't know what is.

  33. They've been trying to undermine, defund, and destroy public education including teacher dignity, teacher unity and teacher control over their working conditions for generations. The right despises public education because they want slaves. THEY WANT SLAVES. ITS AS SIMPLE AS THAT!!!!! And by slaves I mean pseudoslaves in the workplace. They want slaves because they demand the right to use human beings as objects to generate mass profit without getting any in return. Slavery is nothing but profit theft and that is what the Right has always been about. All of the racism and race hatreds have been in service to this goal. YOU CAN'T HAVE SLAVES WITH A STRONG PUBLIC SECTOR. IT DOESN'T WORK. Not when everyone has the same inherent human rights, education rights, housing rights and medical rights as everyone else. SO THEY'LL TRY TO UNDERMINE AND KILL IT BY DEATH BY A THOUSAND CUTS. This has been their agenda forever. Naturally this results in overcrowded classrooms, lack of services to vulnerable students, stressed out teachers, stressed out students, and in general an extremely overtaxed and underperforming system.. ALL BY DESIGN!!!! THIS HAS BEEN THEIR PLAYBOOK FOREVER. The Right wing is a satanic cult that says the majority of humanity is worthless and inferior to the master race which is white people and business elites, therefore they don't deserve any resources and they should be allowed to perish or be neglected. This of course isn't the fault of government; this is because of their OWN inborn weakness so government intentionally harming or neglecting these population groups is not the cause but simply the effect, it's simply echoing and acknowledging that any resources made available to these inferior groups would simply be wasted so why give them in the first place?? The false logic of these kinds of hate-filled agendas of course is always lost on these types of people. The Right orgasms itself on self-fulfilling prophecies.

  34. Anytime someone tells the truth about our satanic political system (one satanic Wall Street party with two faces) and their non-stop attacks on anything decent including all public services (including the public educational system), it gets banned. I've been trying to post for minutes. Unsurprisingly I cannot.

  37. ​ @volbla  all our laws save a very few are written by big businessmen and their lobbyists, and delivered in fully finished form to their political pets. The politicians take their diktats as agreed, and sign on the dotted line. They do this because they want big business to keep giving them money year after year, campaign after campaign. Basically, they hire themselves out to all big money interests this way. This has been going on for generations. State and federal politics has virtually never been for the common people in this country and the Constitution is a decent enough document but basically full of shit. This country was set up for elite rule and to protect the institution of slaves and pseudoslaves. We are still fighting this battle today. Why we continue to vote for people who are our naked and open enemies I have no idea, but we do. They don't work for us, they work for big business. That's as true of the Democrats as the GOP. Democrats just pretend to care about the people more but it's virtually all lies.

  40. ​ @andyjin1453  because like it or not, sooner or later we're all connected, one way or another. No man is an island. (Well, few people are) Whether someone is just a big bad evildoer by nature (I think this is rarely the case but can happen) or because social conditions left one with little choice but to do the so-called "crime", the fact is, a serious crime always affects someone besides its intended or unintended victim. It affects their family and their immediate community, and occasionally those beyond that. This "me first, I'm the only one that matters" attitude isn't very nice, and it robs us of a sense of social responsibility. Frankly I think it's the moral rot that causes all problems in our society. I hate it, and I'm tired of seeing it. Wouldn't you rather live in a society where we ALL cared about each other???? Doesn't a sense of community matter to you?? If you don't naturally want an ideal society that gives everyone the best possible opportunities then I say you need to reevaluate yourself. If you matter, then why doesn't everyone else? What makes you so special and everyone else less so?? What you want for yourself should be the right of everyone. My main question to everyone is why do only "some" lucky people get certain opportunities or benefits??? I'm not referring to special private connections, obviously those are going to vary based on family history and blind luck; I'm referring to those provided by public investment, i.e. government policy. I'm always shocked that some people so casually accept that THEY deserve all the goodies and opportunities in life but "someone else" out there does not. I find that attitude morally reprehensible but also just kind of stunning. I mean you and I are also "somebodies else" to other people- someone else out there could be saying "I deserve all of these benefits but other people do not", and in this hypothetical case you and I would be those "other people". Do you see what I'm getting at??? If millions of people have this attitude of "me first / screw everyone else / I don't want to be part of a society that gives everyone basic opportunities", how soon before that affects people like you or I???? And like I said if /we/ deserve good things (as I'm sure you believe that you do) then how come everyone else doesn't; what's so special about us?!? IT'S SIMPLE, EITHER EVERYONE DESERVES THE SAME BASIC OPPORTUNITIES AND SOCIAL INVESTMENT, OR NO ONE DOES. NO ONE IS INHERENTLY BETTER THAN ANY OTHER. It is not right to say that certain demographic groups get all the investment and opportunities and others get next to none and then expect those that were intentionally left out to perform at the same level as everyone else and not have negative socioconomic indicators. I'M A COMMUNIST. ARE THERE EVERYONE MATTERS, OR NO ONE DOES. THAT'S MY PHILOSOPHY.. It shouldn't be an accident of birth that you get all the special goodies in life. Government should be there to ensure that everyone gets the same generous opportunities and public investment. Whatever ones particular family wants to throw in on top of that that's their business, but the state should be providing generous equal opportunity to all. Ours doesn't do this and that's why I oppose our current government in every form and I want it to be torn down and something better put in its place. Our current government serves the infinite filthy greed of big business and the rest of us essentially don't matter. I don't agree with this. We've been raised to believe that selfishness and cold-bloodedness is a virtue and honestly that really grosses me out on every level. That's not the society I want to live in. It's fine to want good things for ourselves but we should want good things for EVERYONE. Why do other people matter less than we do??? Why do other races matter less than the race we believe ourselves to be a part of (let's not forget that all human DNA is virtually identical so races are mostly a social construct)???? The truth is it's only our singular perspective that makes us believe that by birthright we deserve all the best benefits- what's a random strangers we could just as easily be discounted, the way you casually discounted others just now. It's not only morally right, it's just logic. Who's to say which deserves the opportunities and the compassionate treatment in the justice system, and who doesn't?!? It's not right to say some people are more inherently worthy than others, a moral society doesn't accept that. Everyone has potential- it's not all the same, but everyone can do something. Everyone can better themselves with given the opportunity. Just care about other people. That's all I ask. Others deserve the same opportunities as you, it's that simple. It starts with the government doing its job properly. Our government doesn't give a shit about you and me. They deserve to be destroyed. We need a government that does. In the meantime we need to insist on better policies and better investments in the bottom 70%. I don't feel very good if I'm only caring about myself. My purpose is to make a difference in the world. Besides what we want for ourselves shouldn't that be everyone's goal? Maybe some people just naturally wired it to only care about themselves and their immediate family - I'm not. That doesn't work for me. I mean it's just basic decency to want other people to have the best possible choices available and even if they make a poor decision (ie "crime) that shouldn't be the end of their life. Even if one feels that they should be locked up for their so-called "crime" there should still be opportunities and rehabilitation provided so that when they are released they can hopefully move on with their life as a much better person because they were given the therapies and the rehabilitation necessary to do so. People don't get better all on their own and they certainly don't get better from abuse or neglect. If we want people to choose better we have to give them the skills, the tools, the mental health treatment, the support and the chance to do so. Not only is this right, this is only logical. You can't get out what you don't put in. These things benefit that person and anyone else in their immediate circle, when we do this for every citizen and/or inmate, then obviously over time this improves thousands and then millions of lives. It becomes a virtuous cycle spiraling upwards. Just think about it. Not only is everything I'm saying clearly right from a moral perspective but it's only logic. If we don't help and invest in people we can't possibly expect a majority to achieve their best or have the tools to make constructive choices. It's that simple. It's THAT simple. You CANNOT get out of a machine that you do not put into it- first principle of thermodynamics. First. Humans are bio machines with emotions and consciousness. Everyone deserves a fair chance, everyone. It starts with high government spending and reinvestment in the general public, stopping greed at the top, combined with private contributions from willing givers. Tl;dr: Bec it's about equal opportunity and full rehabilitation behind bars. Everyone deserves that. No one person has more inherent right to benefits and opportunity than anyone else. I don't want to live in a society or selfish immature people only care about themselves. A great society cares about everyone.

  41. ​ @ConductiveFoam  one- if it's taxpayer funded it's never free. We pay small portions of our income to receive beneficial services with a low profit margin built-in. This is the purpose of taxes. You use public services every fucking day. So your attitude is perplexing and idiotic. I agree we should have more choice over how much taxes we are charged and where they go, but public services benefit everyone. We need MORE public services, not less. Anything provided on a non-profit basis benefits more people than high profit services do, for obvious reasons I'm sure you can see. Two; why SHOULDN'T government spending focus on the bottom 99% instead of the satanic 1% that are bleeding us all dry at a shockingly alarming rate? Are you not aware of the reality of which you live? Know that the federal govt creates the money we use and they don't need to tax for shit. The entire 1T military machine budget is totally paid for by created dollars. Every year, just created and sent out into wider circulation. That's how it works. Please don't tell me you're so stupid you don't know that the federal mint exists? The purpose of the Federal Mint is to literally create dollars and coins out of thin air. This is what it does. These dollars then circulate and eventually they end up in ordinary people's hands like us. Also many money is literally created almost magically, in digital form. It's treated as real and we go about our business. Only local governments need to tax to fund their local or state services because they do not create any currency, so they need to get it from us; the federal government literally prints and digitally creates money 24/7, they don't need to tax anyone's for shit and they need to STOP taxing (and borrowing IMO) as a matter of fact. I oppose the IRS on a logical and ethical basis, because of this very fact.

People don't get better all on their own and they certainly don't get better from abuse or neglect. If we want people to choose better we have to give them the skills, the tools, the mental health treatment, the support and the chance to do so. Not only is this right, this is only logical. You can't get out what you don't put in. These things benefit that person and anyone else in their immediate circle, when we do this for every citizen and/or inmate, then obviously over time this improves thousands and then millions of lives. It becomes a virtuous cycle spiraling upwards. Just think about it. Not only is everything I'm saying clearly right from a moral perspective but it's only logic. If we don't help and invest in people we can't possibly expect a majority to achieve their best or have the tools to make constructive choices. It's that simple. It's THAT simple. You CANNOT get out of a machine that you do not put into it- first principle of thermodynamics. First. Humans are bio machines with emotions and consciousness. Everyone deserves a fair chance, everyone. It starts with high government spending and reinvestment in the general public, stopping greed at the top, combined with private contributions from willing givers. Tl;dr: Bec it's about equal opportunity and full rehabilitation behind bars. Everyone deserves that. No one person has more inherent right to benefits and opportunity than anyone else. I don't want to live in a society or selfish immature people only care about themselves. A great society cares about everyone.

  44. @ConductiveFoam Feel free to use the following, at first I thought you were serious. one- if it's taxpayer funded it's never free. We pay small portions of our income to receive beneficial services with a low profit margin built-in. This is the purpose of taxes. You use public services every fcking day. So your attitude is perplexing and idiotic. I agree we should have more choice over how much taxes we are charged and where they go, but public services benefit everyone. We need MORE public services, not less. Anything provided on a non-profit basis benefits more people than high-profit services do, for obvious reasons I'm sure you can see. Two; why SHOULDN'T government spending focus on the bottom 99% instead of the satanic 1% that are bleeding us all dry at a shockingly alarming rate? Are you not aware of the reality of which you live? Know that the federal govt creates the money we use and they don't need to tax for shit. The entire 1T military machine budget is totally paid for by created dollars. Every year, just created and sent out into wider circulation. That's how it works. Please don't tell me you're so stupid you don't know that the federal mint exists? The purpose of the Federal Mint is to literally create dollars and coins out of thin air. This is what it does. These dollars then circulate and eventually they end up in ordinary people's hands like us. Also many money is literally created almost magically, in digital form. It's treated as real and we go about our business. Only local governments need to tax to fund their local or state services because they do not create any currency, so they need to get it from us; the federal government literally prints and digitally creates money 24/7, they don't need to tax anyone's for shit and they need to STOP taxing (and borrowing IMO) as a matter of fact. I oppose the IRS on a logical and ethical basis, because of this very fact.

  47. ​ @andyjin1453  tried to respond with what I thought it was a pretty thorough convincing answer, apparently YouTube thought otherwise and won't let me post it. And the hyper-aggressive censorship of left points of view continues apace.

  49. Regarding 06:38 It's terrible what happened in India under British rule, and of course to my knowledge there's been no even token apology or reparations attempted at being made. One thing I don't quite understand that I'm open to learning more about is why Indian authorities didn't just expel the British forces?? I mean you've let these people put down an anchor and grow their numbers for 100 years and you never once thought about uniting your citizenry and killing them all or expelling them? I ask myself the same question about South America at the time of Spanish contact and the ensuing hundred years. I just don't get it I really don't and to this day I struggle to understand how they could have been allowed to grow and metastasize to a point where now they had real influence and control. And even then, at any point literally they were still grossly outnumbered- so at any point if any halfway cohesive military campaign got itself together either in South America or in India the colonizers would have been quickly beaten. And for the life of me to this day it's just hard for me to understand why this never happened... Unless they loved living under the boot of colonialism so much .. which I find hard to believe. I'm sure they had their internal politics but seriously, you can't put those aside for five minutes when you're under a collective outside threat? And look what happened as a result. It's just something that's been hard for me to understand. If people don't like being colonized and I don't think anyone does, then FIGHT GODDAMMIT!!! I can understand losing to a force that has superior arms or significantly superior numbers, but even if the Indian continent didn't have guns at time of contact I'm sure it wouldn't have been too hard to get some within the 50 years after- I'm sure they had opportunities for arms trade. And then ... Organize right?? I mean surely they had only about 250M to 500M people to mobilize from.. So that's one aspect of history I just don't quite understand. I also wonder if official apologies and honest attempts at reparations will ever be given by any European power, or the UK. Hell or the US here towards our indigenous groups. Yeah right. I highly doubt that. I'll believe it when I see it. Political scum up top in the West feel entitled to take what they want at anytime, this attitude still prevails, they don't feel any moral obligation to acknowledge past crimes of aggression. To them it's simply 'might makes right'. "Boo hoo sucks to be you, law of the jungle baby" is pretty much their attitude. So here we are. Will the vast fortunes and precious objects liquidated from these previously colonized territories ever be repatriated? I'll only believe it when I see it.

  50. If alcohol exists in the future why not drugs? there's literally nothing wrong with drugs unless they take over your life. Just like with anything really. Control and moderation is key.
