The Flood / Re: Convince me anyone making more than 250k
« on: October 03, 2018, 03:59:10 PM »
I would support higher taxes for the top rungs of society if they were better spent, but I don't trust my government to not funnel nearly all of that money into the military industrial complex. Not 95% though. I still think innovation should still be allowed through private investment, and not just through government funding/subsidy.

At least the government will spend the money on something that benefits its country, even if you disagree with it. Rich fucks will just buy more cars and shit.

Also people were taxed up to 90% post WW2 as far as I know and that was the most prosperous time for America, economically.

Cars made by people who earned a wage doing so. The problem with most uber rich people is that they don't spend the money, or they use it to amass more wealth, neither of which is good for the economy.

250k isn’t rich that’s barely getting close to upper middle class

I'm not sure how it is in America (probably worse) but 250k is not "middle class." Maybe not "rich" but definitely upper class.

Upper class = rich

Sam Raimi's Spider-man 3 outclasses every single superhero film ever created (besides Spider-man 1/2) by understanding the classical, operatic spirit of Spider-man's legacy. It confronts the cheesey tropes of the medium unapologetically, and in doing so feels exceptionally earnest in its desire to portray the essence of the character in an attractive light. It will last far longer than anything that's come out since.
Also its political messages will remain relevant for generations.

Definitely wouldn't fly in the PC world we live in today.

Serious / Re: if morality is subjective, why have debates about it
« on: October 01, 2018, 06:06:32 AM »
if free will exists and is something to be valued, then there's an innate contradiction with how you derive morality—if it's about the reduction of suffering, then you're infringing upon the free will of those who would love nothing more than to cause people suffering, for whatever reasons they may have for it
?
what good is free will if there's only one type of behavior worth encouraging anyway

Here's where you drop that big ol' "That's, like, your opinion man".

You can change opinions by arguing, grass is still green whether or not you agree with it.

Because that's how subjectivity works. There's no point in debating objective facts.
yeah, because everyone agrees on what is objectively true in the world
Doesn't change what is actually objective.
no fucking shit

that's why you argue about it, because it MATTERS when somebody is wrong about what is objectively true

subjective things don't really matter at all, so arguments involving any subjectivity are a complete waste of time

Arguing about whether or not grass is green is pointless, arguing about whether or not Trent Reznor is a visionary is worthwhile.

If you stop to think about the entirety of human knowledge and how limited it is, then compare that to your very limited understanding of that knowledge it's pretty easy to see you're not as smart as your Facebook posts would have me believe.

Legalizing all drug use is a great way to thin out the population while ensuring most that are dying off weren't very productive anyway.

The Flood / Re: Should I just buy Photoshop?
« on: September 28, 2018, 05:30:42 PM »
I was going to say that you freakin' pirates ruined it for everyone by stealing it in the first place, but $600 for a fucking program is absolutely absurd. I'll probably end up just getting the subscription model, but jesus I don't really want to.
Not piracy, just a deliberate business move. Adobe has been trying to go down the closed-system Apple path for a while now. They wanted to create dependency within their products. Adobe files can only be opened with Adobe software. You want to edit or create images? Photoshop is your bet. Ah, but what about enhancing pictures taken by a camera? Yeah, Lightroom is what you need. Interested in both? Well you gotta get the package deal now because you can't just use another piece of software for one of the two. How about adding some graphics or assets to it? Yeah, you'll need Illustrator or Stock for that - can't go with anything else because it doesn't work. Hm, you want to publish the result somewhere? Yeah no, all the other software sucks for that, you'll need Indesign to make that work. And managing all of your files together? Bro no way you can do that without Adobe Bridge (which used to be part of the CS programs you got but now conveniently isn't any longer). The whole Adobe scene used to be a lot more standalone and integratable with other software but they've really been pushing towards a closed-system like Apple where you more or less get sucked into a software ecosystem that you can't just get out off. Before you know it, all of your creative programs depend on each other and none of your work can be exported to other software. And that's why and how they're now using a subscription-based model that tries charging you for a package. It's not so much aimed at people like you but rather businesses and professionals who got away with a one time purchase of one piece of (shared) software.

its shit like this that really doesnt help my growing anticapitalist sensibilities

i dont suppose i could just keep making emails for the free trial
