there is a company that does that and I was thinking of getting one. full modularity and repair of parts. the idea is you buy the phone once and everything is designed for even a novice to repair at home for reasonable cost.

>>285713
yea my phone has 4GB of ram and GB of storage idr how much but a lot for a phone. i grew up with fucking flip phones and sidekicks. though i do miss those phones awesome lsot technology. CD players were very cool tool.

the first generations of ipods were genuinely awesome products one of hte few things I really give apple credit for they saw the power of portables and combined it with phoens first they just subscribed to cult tactits and intentional enshittification so i hate them now

>>285720
damn thats crazy

i got a 50 dollar sony sonsa in 2010 and it was the one of the coolest bits of tech ive ever seen it was so cheap but it was the size of a watch screen but it had radio, voice recording , calender, and all the functions of an ipod nano and it had like a slick dark theme in the menus with a backlit screen. such a cool little device. im surprised it didnt get more popular.

>>285732
crazy :O

yea what a banger

1985 was a wild time

i wasnt made yet

>>285751
its pretty cool but it has problems and is very corrupt.

its one of the great world citites so it has angels and demons in equal measure

its a good place to be trans

>>285763
NYC is UNIQUELY corrupt.

it might be one of hte most corrupt palces in the world

NYC was FOUNDED in corruption, like its litearlly BAKED into our bones. crime, corruption, bribes, at every level lol

#ai explain who aaron burr was and how did he participate in NYC corruption with his water scandle?

aaron burr was vp under jefferson and famously shot alexander hamilton in a duel. in nyc, he pulled off a shady move by starting the manhattan company in 1799, which was supposed to provide clean water but was secretly a front to create a bank (later becoming chase). he used public fears of yellow fever to push through the scam, diverting funds meant for water infrastructure to banking. classic nyc corruption—promising one thing, doing another, and profiting off it. explain who aaron burr was and how did he participate in NYC corruption with his water scandle?

yea Chase bank, one of hte largest financial institutions in the world, was created as a scam to take government money for water and make a private bank instead :)

and it was done by a major politician hehehe

corruption is just BAKED into NYC bones, its a wild place

its full of scheming and deals and darkness, but also its a place that accepts everyone. its just a wierd fucking place i like it a lot

at least NYC Is walkable and has good public transit tho

my favorite part of NYC is not needing a care at all, havent had a car in 5 years

>>285796
#hug

I walk to get groceries :)

I have a military bag I fill up with my groceries, its a great pack :)

i got asked about it by someone shopping once and they wer elike "thats a seabag right, do you have family in the navy?" and i was like No actually I did 8 years active duty hehe

i guess, I dont think its anything special

most people are there to move up the social ladder in some way, like that scene in starship troopers

>>285806
thank u 4 ur support

I was in submarines which was based and luckily everything I did was based and not evil

>>285809
yea the navy is filled with poc, gays, poor people, people with bad families or who come from hopeless places

there are some people who arel ike career military familiies but its mostly people who jsut needed... SOMETHING. because they had nothing

and tbh it was good for me cause I got health insurance and a job and training and skills and money for school and stuff but I wish I didnt have to do it but it did give me a lot of perspective I wouldnt have otherwise.

Im really scared about trump being in power and purging the military of female leadership (not even trans people)

he fired 2 high ranking female officers in the navy and coast guard in his first month in office which is crazy because normally athtat high rank you dont get fired but Pete Hegseth hates women so... I guess they had to go.

>>285824
tbh ofc the trans stuff affects me personally but the scarriness in america right now is so much bigger than trans rights imo. its everything, its literally like... we are on a precipice to actual nazi germany world war territory and im really scared about it tbh.

im scared about depowering nato which empowers warlords all over the world to make power and land grabs like russia and china.

at least korea and japan seem to be warming up to each other in the post trump era because they are realizing they cant rely on the US navy foreverr

there is child prostitution everywhere

>>285832
yea this too.

Soviet Union collapsing was based though because even though america is an evil empire too at least Nato is like...

DEI pilled

NATO * POINTS GUN AT U * GAY MARRIAGE IS NON NEGOTIABLE

so did like every government ever... almost like people in power do evil stuff all the time

>>285841
imo, and this is just my opinion, Nato is the best large power pole that has existe din history and thats not because its particularly good but because historically they have all been fucking horrifically bad because history is full of so much fucked up shit. calling america bad imo is kind of naive because its like... you can only think that from the comfortable safety of a 1st world country and not realizing how unstable and chaotic the world really is outside of the western former colonial powers. and yes a lot of that is built on wealth from colonialisma nd slavery and pure evil but also I do think there is a future were we move past it and embrace a multi culti DEI pilled pro equality egalatarian socialist world culture and it seems the best axis with which to unite the species

>>285845
China is like 15 different countries historically and tons of them, they actively meddle in all of southest asia and tried to take over and coup korea and only didnt becaus the US made a huge stink about it

china is a major world power who engages in colonialism and political medelling liek any major world power

also China has perpetrated a lot of some of the most deadly genocides and wars in history

>>285850
yea thats true, i dont see how that changes anything I said

also I want to say that the middle east is really Europes falt primarily we just continued their legacy :3

>>285857
I think this is true practically, but false culturally. DEI is like, civil rights protections. NATO pilled liberals like biden where awesome on trans rights issues for his term, BIden was actually way more trans pilled than any major Dem has ever been. Obama may have been anti gay marriage more or less but gay marriage was legalized under his regime. that is what equality means more or less. not that class goes away, but racial, religious and sexual orientations can all be exploited equally

>>285862
yea and something I really hate about americans is they think racism is like... some american phenomenon. that america invented racism and its americas fault. but if you travel the world and go to a lot of the 2nd world you start to see how insanely fucking racist the world is, and I will take americas brand of racism over the shit ive seen any day. but also something based about america is the united states civil rights movement produced some amazing thinkers and lines of thought and reasoning that have been exported all over the world and I think have made a positive impact in the world

Rwandan genocide happens, palestinian genocide happens and people are liek WOW 400 BLACK MEN out of 1000 MEN SHOT TOTAL IN AMERICA LETS BURN THE COUNTRY DOWN. (not like I dont think police shooting black men isnt wrong btw) but in context of how F'd up the world is you have no idea

>>285868
yea a lot of them were based. some cringed, but a lot of them based.

400 DEAD PEOPLE OMG, meanwhile in bhutan bhuddist monks are raping muslim women and the government pays them money to do it because they know the muslim fmailies will torture their women if they are tainted

Only in a place as "civilized" as evil america can this even be an issue. historically humanity has been so fucking vile and any nice things have been hard won and hard fought. so in terms of triaging and thinking about whats best for humanity as a species I would rather pick the side that actually encultures things like equality as a human right even if its on paper only. obviously the danger of pax americana is that if america goes full nazi its bad for everyone.

>>285875
I know people who dpeloyed to afghanistan and had to obey orders not to do anything about the sexual trafficking of small boys because there is an ancient tradition in the southern part of the country of small boy prostititues

yea but didnt eradicate. like every country its almost impossible to totally eliminate pimps

death 2 all pimps

i fucking hate pimps so much u have no idea, and it infuriates me that liek "being cool like a pimp" entered pop culture

BASED

HOT TAKE: sexual human trafficking and slavery are bad

>>285885
Putin classified LGBT as a terrorist organizationa nd its a 5 year prison sentence to kiss someone of the same sex in moscow lol

>>285888
YES LMAOOOO there is one guy who is absolutely legendary who fought in WWI, WWII and was a major comamnder throughout most of hte cold war its INSANE

[Wikipedia]

>>285891
roleplaying being a catgirl maid slave is just bottom behavior, not real life lol

>>285896
its kind of nuts that he exists at all lol

but i get ur point yea

like how conservatives romanticise rommel as the "noble good nazi" even though at the end of the day he was a FUCKING NAZI

though rommel was based for trying to assassinate hitler and save germany from itself

I wonder if we will have a high ranking military member try to assassinate trump and be remembered similarly

>>285901
rape is a universal crime tho like like literally MEN CANNOT STOP RAPING PEOPLE in any place or time.

>>285906
it depends. america tries to set up self governance of its occupied territories. self governence usually does a bad job of reducing organized crime / sexual trafficking. its a very complicated issue ive studied a lot and usually the US relies on economic incentives to make client states reduce the levels of human traffiking or lose access to the US as an investment partner and IT HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL sometimes.

like the world bank has done some pretty based things in its day, and most people dont evne know why it exist it just sounds evil and shit even though its kind of something straight of metal gear

Afghanistan is a great example. For example, the dude I knew who was an E6 army at the time stationed in afghanistan him and his officer drew up an entire report on the child pimp and got pictures and evidence and testimony from locals who also hated it. did all this work, brought it to the higher ups and a literal general came down to talk to them about how they cant do anythign about it because basically afghanistan has a right to self determination and its up to their police to take care of it and if they are corrupt and bought out by the pimp as a foreign military they cant just go in and randomly arrest/kill people for commiting crimes

NYC has the actual best trans lwas in the country bar none

Sealed gender changes, (so feds/journalists cant look up your original BC), forced coverage for trans health issues from insurance, state constitution gives civil rights tot rans people. its so based

>>285923
mine says M because im too lazy to change it lol. and i waited until after trump was elected.....

IM SORRY

I LEFT ZERO TWO ON FOR HALF AN HOUR

.skip (video skipped)

its a good beat though hehe

i love that squeaky noise so much

is this phonk

its used in a lot of tiktoks i th ink

its phonk but it went into generic DNB i guess

the intro was phonky for sure

.play lorn acid rain

sry if I came off as too america defending btw im really defensive about it in leftists spaces because I dont think americans/america at large is the most evil force in history and am really used to being like... essentially called evil for thinking that a lot.

I just think there are good things about america too

>>285948
im not a military brat my dad was an anarchist 80s punker he has tons of anarchy tatoos all over him

>>285953
nah the military is based and countries need a military. the problem is the military is wielded by political power and its like... isnt that just political power being the problem again?

>>285957
yea but so has like every country ever.

ever major country after like 500BC did lol

I think the only based state taht didnt was the spanish anarchists in the 1930s and 1940s and htey all got killed

im talking general world history

if you look at like last 100 years its kind of biased because ameriac is the strongest country no?

its not really telling you anything deeper about human nature and society if you look at such a narrow data set

>>285968
no I mean that every coutnry in power does this shit, it doesnt really mean anything.

>500 years
>portuguese feitorias in the 1700s moved 30 million people globally as slaves in the early 1800s

okay

mongols built a mountain of skulls outside samarkand, my point is EVIL isnt anything new or specific to the USA

no my point is is that if EVIL is a universal constant why not look at the good things in countries to differentiate them

okay yea but saying that is meaningless because we have no avenue or recourse to make a classless society

so why hasnt another country done socialism the right way then?

>>285984
like, socialism that doenst have class?

america isnt hte whole world, europe and china and many other less powers have plenty of self determination

>>285989
every communist state has had class as a major component so idk if thats a good strategy

>>286000
yea but it has no real way to manifest

>>286004
i hope you are right

I dont think communism can exist because you have to have people in power continuosly over many generations choose the publi welfare over themselves which will never happen

>>286008
okay i hope that happens i hope that one day rich people magically suddenly are different from the fundamental human nature that has always existed

>>286017
i think some peopel are empathetic and good, and some are greedy and evil. and its based on factors that are too compliated to accurately predict and thus worthless. there will always be some good and some bad people, the problem is just a single bad perosn in power will always prevent a communist state from existing and because some people are bad it cna never happen

so you have to build a society that accounts for human evil or it wont actually exist

my point is its purely theoretical and not practical because weve never had a society without power, and power means wealth if one bad person gets access to it

I do think socialism is building and thats good, I am a socialist but I think that we need large powerful societies that implement laws that reign in the worst of human evil because betting on humans becoming good seems to me.... just naviely hopeful (ina good way) but sometimes not hte most practical

>>286030
I think that there were greedy rich people in native tribal societies 40000 years ago

there are no material conditions which produce a fully altruistic society

dark triad people will always exist

yea cause good people exist, we ARE getting better.

but its like, communism isnt just going to manifest itself.

I think its far more likely that technological paradime shifts will cause major change before dark triad stops having access to the levers of power

stuff like the WIRED can actually be a force for organizing and sharing information which is why im sucha huge advocate for free internet and piracy

>>286041
yea thats why I think stuff like America is the best option we have where at least it has DEI/ Multi culti pilled which gives us access to adress class/race issues because its a fundamental cultural belief in equality and thats the first step to manifesting it. I think it can happen in china too.

yea palestine is a horrible situation... its just to me ive been upset about genocide my whoel life and no one cares. they just care about this one because its on their conciounce and gets media attention.

there are liek 17 active genocide happening right now around the world but palestine is the one thats its COOL to be upset about, no one gives a fuck about bhutan or chad or whatever

and im really cynical about flavor of the month political issue

and republicans used it to seize power byd iving the left over the palestine issue

well meaning people see palestine on their TV and get mad and nazis used that frustration to get them to stay home, not vote and assume total control of the apparatus of government

i think ur crazy if you dont think the entire world is materially worse with trump in power versus kamala

trust has nothing to do with it, it has to do with the practical effect of who has access to power

theory doesnt put food on the table or end genocides

as a trans person in america, I think it must be very nice to be insulated from haveing to live in trumps america and to see the parties as "both bad"

>>286066
stinky

monkeys have culture and take care of their own a lot of the time and so do elephants mammals are so based :)
