For real, government funded space program ≠ innovation at scale
Ah, you know what you’re clearly correct. China, who is not a communist state, has a population of a billion people, and an authoritarian regime who would love nothing more than for it to look like China’s innovating having filed more patents than the next nine countries combined means that Communism drives innovation!
Besides common knowledge, you could also research why China files so many patents (subsidys per patent filed, and the fact China acknowledges utility model and industrial design patents that are not considered patents in most countries [AND these patents make up at least 75% of those filed in China, meaning their number of real (invention) patents is more like ~400,000, and that 75% is conservative.
That second paragraph isn’t necessary though, your point never had legs to stand on.
This has not been universally true among socialist states.
An interesting point against communism is the lack of drive for innovation it creates. If you’re living in a truly classless society (which has never and does not exist), you have no drive to do better, there is no personal reward to innovate besides progressing your society in ways you’ll likely never see / be rewarded for.
I cant find it now, but there’s a great quote from someone in Nixon’s FDA that basically amounts to “We were lying about the drugs to target the minorities. We knew we were lying.”, some real Legion of Doom shit.
What? In what way does that have anything to do with banning nicotine?
All drugs should be legal. Heroin should be legal. What actions people decide to take towards their own bodies are none of the governments concern (outside of offering rehabilitation).

Definitely requires time, took me about 3 weeks to get as fast as I was on a standard layout.
I have a boss who’s in his mid-forties. After I was out a few days for my wisdom teeth, I was talking to him and he says ever since he was a kid his dentist has said he seriously needs his wisdom teeth removed. Man gives me the biggest smile and says "and I’ve been putting it off for 40 years! ", made me wince. I would be terrified at the prospect of getting them out after that long.
Best foss maps app imo.
I love Thumb Key, it’s a very unique and actively developed keyboard app.
Monero -> Hamas
This probably isn’t a helpful response, but for me, once something is inevitable I don’t see a point in getting upset, so I don’t. For instance I’ the dogs tracv dirt through the house, I’d definitely be a bit annoyed that I have to clean it up, but actually letting it get to me would only serve to make my night worse.
Underunderstood, right?
Human minds**
That last one does genuinely make me feel swell.
Thumb-key and Auxio (music player)
Nah, I don’t think my issue is with age; it’s with lifelong politicians. Introduce term limits.
