Daxtron2, in So, who or what ruined Christmas this year?

My cat got a urinary blockage on Friday, luckily got to bring him home tonight for Christmas, but it definitely made it stressful

bran_buckler,

I hope the little guy is doing better!

Daxtron2,

He’s definitely a lot better now. He had vomited over 30 times Friday night so we got him to the emergency vet. Hardest part now is trying to get him to take his meds lol

bran_buckler,

Yikes, that must have been scary! My cat started refusing her treats about a month ago, which is how I had been giving her her meds for the past year, I can really relate to that struggle get them to take their meds. If only they’d understand that it’ll make them feel better!

Daxtron2,

Yeah it’s tough. His are liquid so he basically hates us for an hour after we force them in his mouth lol

Mine is called "Stoffie" (In Dutch a vacuum is called a "stofzuiger"). It translates to "Dusty".

My list of things I like about liberalism:

  • It isn’t quite as bad as conservatism.

That’s it. That’s the list.

And following are my lists of things I like about conservatism and capitalism respectively:

Love Yourz by J. Cole

It conveys the fact that you don’t have any life but the one you’re given and that you won’t ever be happy until you manage to radically accept your circumstances.

Don’t focus on a national scale, focus more locally. Look at state legislatures. Look at mayoral and school board races.

Apock,

Semi-related I can confirm. I recently found out that my state senator sold out for only $14,000

Nemo, in What do you like about liberalism, capitalism and conservatism?

Liberalism: Human flourishing, the expansion of scientific knowledge, recognition of human rights

Capitalism: More resilient to corruption than planned economies

Conservatism: Prevents backsliding and cultural loss, encourages social stability

Nemo,

Okay, having read both articles just now, I have serious critiques.

The first fails to either prove it’s thesis or, somehow, understand the ethos of liberalism. Very good write-up of the rise of fascism and its causes, though. Overall not a bad article but unconvincing.

The second conflates capitalism and liberalism and jumps between one and the other nonsensically, making it essentially all noise.

human flourishing

Nemo,

I think you should explain what you mean, because I’m lacking the context to infer it on my own.

Nemo,

Thanks for explaining, that’s fucking gross. Would have used a different phrase had I known this was out there.

BonesOfTheMoon,

Cultural loss is thinly veiled white supremacy.

Nemo,

Sometimes it is, yes. It’s no secret that white supremacists, whatever their stances on political or economic issues, will hide their social views behind the label of conservatism. Thankfully, society has started to move past them, and they can rightfully be decried as regressive.

Seems like the first definition is conservative-left. The second definition sounds like capitalism. Honest question here, but what am I missing?

ChicoSuave, in What do you like about liberalism, capitalism and conservatism?

This is written like a desperate list maker from Breitbart needs to make a deadline.

Why not just admit you vote right, hate a subset of people, and want to believe that you are the only person who can be trusted to break the rules?

Fluffy. Ever since I was a kid, I wanted a killer robot and name it Fluffy. My parents never got me one, so once I hit midlife crisis I got myself a cleaning robot and named it Fluffy. At my age, I appreciate clean floors more than seeing the blood of my enemies.

Mother-in-law ended up getting COVID last week, so her birthday plans on Christmas Eve were cancelled, plus they couldn’t come to see the kids today. Our hot water heater seems to have a failed thermocouple, so we have no (instant) hot water at the moment.

Nothing is “ruined,” just annoying.

Nuke the entire landmass. Enjoy not having to worry about what stupid shit the US political dumpster fire will regurgitate and manipulate this week. Be loved by almost every country on the planet for doing it. Gals and guys alike will be tripping over each other to suck you. Police stop being penis-waving fucks and start obeying the law, NK shits themselves and rejoins SK, Putin has a heart attack, and everyone starts buying electric cars because you threaten to do it again if not. World peace out of sheer terror. Rainbows and unicorns spawn randomly. And as a gargantuan meteor is about to crash into earth and kill all remaining sentient life, you are deemed the one true god.

Hello fbi, late today aren’t you?

(just let me know before you do this, I have some things I need to pack first)
