Originally posted by Old Man Whirly!You are right, but also I have less to lose, and I am an incredibly vindictive person if crossed.
Well, I notice people who have aired their dirty laundry about other peoples online relationships with them are telling Eon and Scribble not to do the same. I'm happy with that, none of you should do it.

Originally posted by snowdragonYeah seriously. Wtf is this guy. The whole idea of capitalism is to let people achieve what they can without subjecting others — it has gone beyond this. Mother****er that is Bezos needs to start showing the goods if he wants to trade for free in my country.

Originally posted by Old Man Whirly!I probably will, but ranting angrily is a good way to calm down, right?
well, don't be, that way leads to madness. Just move on mate.
Originally posted by Old Man Whirly!That's good stuff. A lot of older people just give up, these days. That isn't an insult, I don't think age should ever be an insult — I really do think it's awesome!
I read comics on kindle unlimited these days. Superb.
Originally posted by Scribblei have been reading comics since 1974, Im not stopping now. I have some amazingly rare ones in physical form too, dating back even before 74 up to 2013 when i pretty much stopped buying comics physically. First 200 2000 AD springs to mind, all first editions of the Sandman, Hellblazer, Watchmen, Miracle Man and many others.

Are you noticing the number of the beast everywhere?Been seeing that a lot. In fact, when I was playing Everspace, I got that exact amount in a money drop.
I also leaned on a remote and made 777777. No idea if that means anything.
Could be your human brain, which is specifically designed to recognize patterns, experiencing the Baader-Meinhof effect.
Also, my Diablo II save file said this:
Final "also": the real number of the beast is 616, not 666.
The oldest known paprus manuscript of that specific verse shows 616, confirming the often mistranslated 666 as being wrong:
ἑξακόσιοι δέκα ἕξ, hexakosioi deka hex
That very directly translates into English as "Sixhundred ten six" which is 616.

How do I live and learn from this? All I can learn is that nobody will ever love me, the only people who will ever profess that I am attractive and like my personality are ****ing liars. This isn't the first time this has happened, albeit in different circumstances.
There are alot of pieces of shit out there, running into them throughout our lives is unavoidable. The best thing to do is put them in the rearview and move on.
My best advive would be to start liking who u are more and not giving a shit about what others think (easier said than done, i know) and focus on u and finding what makes u happy with u. Find that and embrace it and u will eventually find someone that loves those things about u too.

Could be a more libertarian belief than a left-wing belief.
Some libertarians believe that billionaire's violate both capitalism and libertarian "liberty-centric" beliefs. Because they represent authoritarian (the opposite of libertarianism) corporatist and/or oligarchs.
Fewer choices and liberty for the individual = an affront to libertarian ideals.
So you do not have to box yourself into just the left vs. right dynamic. You can also consider such positions as authoritarian vs. libertarian.
Also, had a discussion with one of my best friends on Sunday about this. If you look at the political compass map, we all hold beliefs from all over and when we get our political compass test results back, it's just an average from those things from all over.
Look at this map: I'm a transhumanist, technocrat, partial democratic socialist (which is, gaspity, within the communism umbrella!), classic liberal, progressive, etc.

I've said it before but, but ****ing hell. You even have the same comics taste! We even have many of the same political disagreements!

I do enjoy this map, as I fall all over it. I find a single position hard to choose, as many of the ideas around the centre I think are as important as the last.
I live my life as an anarchist who happily accepts general social rules, but will deny them any time they become autocratic and bizarre. I think that's a fair assessment of myself, tbh.
Corporatism is just evil.
Making money justifies everyone, and no one's ever to blame for anything.
I love reading Quora stories of stupid shit like an executive sueing a former employee for failure to turn over proprietary files, that happened to be on a laptop this same exec ordered reformatted as soon as the employee was unceremoniously fired. And he gets so angry in court he openly threatens to ruin the guys career, to a bunch of fines from the judge.
I honestly don't know if I buy some of these stories, but its not like such people don't exist. I mean, just look at Donald Trump.
