Bill Gates says a 3-day work week where 'machines can make all the food and stuff' isn't a bad idea::"A society where you only have to work three days a week, that's probably OK," Bill Gates said.

I mean...isn't your pattern recognition starting to ring a little bit?

[–] [email protected] 48 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No.

Because I'm not under the self-important delusion that everything is part of a grand conspiracy out to get me.

It doesn't ever matter to you people how obvious it becomes over time. Like three years ago when a ridiculous number of people seemed to beleive the policies then wouldn't result in the reality now, no matter how hard we tried to tell you.

I have learned over the years that reasoned discussion is impossible at this point. You are firmly fixed on your opinions, and I am moderately fixed with mine, and the gulf in between is large.

So I will simply bid you good day.

I've not stated an opinion or theory. I asked if you can think.

that's almost clever, how long that take you to conceive?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

which policies?? You just gonna shit out an example that is generic as fuck and doesn't actually shed any light on the bs you're trying to push?

How the hell is a 3day work week result in open air prisons??????? You have to back this absurd claim up or literally everything else you say is fucking bullshit.

Pattern recognition, do you have it?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm recognizing a pattern in your comments all right

Honestly it'w been a couple days, kinda forgot. Happy Thanksgiving.

People who believe in this insane shit shouldn't be allowed to vote... in fact, should be in literal prisons, as they're a danger to themselves and society.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Cultural conservatives (including many leftists) believe that social liberals are a danger to themselves. That's not a precedent that you want to start.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Just for interesting learning, what leftist groups would you consider to be cultural conservatives?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I wouldn't say that there's any specific group.

Anyone who votes conservative against their economic opinions would qualify.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So, you don't believe in voting as a human right, and you think prisons have ever solved even a single solitary thing in their entire history?

Miss me with that lmao

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I didn't name a conspiracy theory. I asked if you had pattern recognition. It would seem not.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My pattern recognition tells me there are faces in clouds too, should i believe in cloud giants?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes you should, that's totally the same thing as recognizing trends over time.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

You skipped class on the "correlation does not mean causation" day didn't you?
