Plenty of examples of people burning down capitalism/mercantilism based societies too… It’s happening right now in the US.

Capitalism is not freedom, nor the devil. It’s just a tool. The same as communism or socialism. They each have their pros and cons.

Look at Canada, better healthcare because… Socialism. Cheaper more functional electrical companies because… Socialism. Then they use Capitalism for other industries that work just fine.

The economic system should really be set per-industry based on which one is likely to provide the best outcome.

As a broad overview, In my opinion, Communism should be used for land ownership, Socialism for core necessities, and Capitalism for luxuries.

America is funny.

And by that I mean you’re the joke.

I saw my children come out live, but maybe she’s just like the platypus of reptiles or something.

You just described my wife.

This is far more important than any “guarding”

North Korea is being actively used as a pawn by China to do things that China doesn’t want to be seen/caught doing.

The most obvious one is hacking, a lot of the North Korean state groups even operate from inside the borders of China.

You can absolutely use your external IP rather than a domain, your ISP likely keeps your IP the same for long stretches of time. Mine only ever really changes during long power outages.

You can get around that the IP issue by broadcasting your ip from your local machine to a known service, there are some free ones but they aren’t the most stable things in the world if it’s critical. Google Dynamic DNS

What does currently mean?

Have I done it recently? Yes.

Am I doing it right now with this post? No.

I would argue that Amazon selling and also handling significant parts of the logistics is beneficial to the customer.

Shipping companies did not do a good job, that’s why Amazon vertically integrated parts of it.

Netflix having its own fiber and datacenters is another example where it was likely beneficial.

These companies do other things that suck, but I’m not sure I would blame the vertical integration on much of it.

I just have it running in a docker container…

Isis was a great name, then it got ruined.

Try using a smaller plate which forces you to take a smaller amount initially and consciously makes you aware of going back for more.

I have been an adult for more than half my life, I’ve never once ordered food for delivery. I always go pick it up.

Both of the Linuses

Sebastian and Torvalds

Sebastian because most of the shit he’s been accused of has either been fixed openly, or was proven mostly false.

Torvalds because while he can be extremely rude, he generally only does it when the person deserves to be called out. It’s not like he’s going off at random people. Society says he should use more tact, but the dude is literally responsible for creating and now maintaining arguably the most important piece of the server software stack globally. There’s also a very high chance he’s on the spectrum.

This is one of the primary issues in my marriage.

My wife’s cleaning standard is MUCH higher than my own. It was fine before we had kids, the house was small and she did most of it. Now we have a bigger place and multiple children.

She wants cleaning time to be equal. I say it’s not equal because the total hours required are dictated by her standards not mine.

It’s not like my standards are disgusting or unhygienic though. I just don’t need the hallway swept every day, or the dishes completely washed every night. The dishwasher still runs daily.

The point is what exactly?

They still aren’t “wrong people”

The people OP is talking to are just as valid as data points as these happy people.

These “you’re talking to the wrong people” answers are stupid.

There are plenty of both happy and unhappy marriages.

If you truly shuffle a deck of cards, you are likely to come up with a permutation that has never existed before.

The human genome is infinitely more complex than a deck of cards.

These are interesting to me, I never got a chance to experience this stuff myself. I have only 1 ex and it was from a relatively short relationship in high school, I got married to the second girl I ever dated and we’re still married decades later.

That first girl did cheat on me, so that sucked, but we never spoke again and I have no idea where she even is at this point.
