  • Who are you, Pierre Spray? Of course it siphoned money out of the peoples hands, that’s what America does. That doesn’t mean the plane doesn’t work. Also no, I’m not gonna respond to all 6 of you. You all have the same point.

    You are wrong about the statistics and none of you have owned up to that and the only one who actually went and checked (presumably) when I pointed it out is weaseling his way out of it with disingenuous language instead of just saying the number, because they know that they’d look dumb if if they said less than 30 of over 900 built have crashed and less than half of those were actually a plane malfunction and not operator error or a fucking experimental test frame. It’s easier to say “many crash” than to give a number and leave it up to the reader to interpret whatever that means. It’s also easy to imply that the planes are broken and non-functional two-thirds of the time by implying that basic-ass maintenance standards are somehow a bad thing. There does not exist a fighter jet which does not sit in a hangar or below deck for most of its life. The F35 is more complex than the planes it replaced and is full of exotic materials, so of course it requires more maintenance.

    Please understand that I also hate America- I just base my hatred in factual reality.


  • The inevitable collapse of the west is going to come as complete shock to people like you.

    It’s not, but I’m sure that’s hard to believe when you need to hate me because I disagreed with you on a point of factual statistics.

    The writing is on the wall but you are just to smug and self assured to even contemplate it.

    I don’t know what this has to be with the F35 failure rate

    ultimately you’ve been hoodwinked by a very effective propaganda machine that is going to feed you into a mulcher to prolong the failing Western hegemony.

    We’re being fed to the same mulcher, man. You’re not owning class, we’re both gonna die in World War 3.

    It seems like you have a lot of assumptions about me and what I believe






  • I brought a hex key to adjust my seat and just went riding. Test, adjust, test, adjust.

    Some of the things I’ve spent money on that has not done anything for my riding comfort is a seat dampener, so maybe skip that one if you were thinking about it.

    There’s also a break-in period for any setting, I’ve found. My ass used to hurt a lot after riding a bit but now it doesn’t. Your body will adjust- the important thing is to make sure you’re not riding in position that puts unnecessary stress on your spine or something.









  • Denmark doesn’t have government owned housing rented at fair prices. It has housing orgs which are beholden to special laws but are still private businesses. Because these businesses own a whole block of apartments, they can strike good deals with the municipalities to house or accommodate the less fortunate. If you are middle-class then you do not live in a housing org that houses the lower class. We don’t share space.

    I live in the cheapest apartment in my city in the best housing org arguably in the whole country and I still can’t pay rent and my landlord won’t come and fix the several missing doors. My neighbors are fruit-fly breeding enthusiast druggies who don’t have to get up in the morning for anything but groceries and love to party all night on any given weekday despite the housing org rules but the housing org won’t do shit about it so I regularly don’t get to sleep and the cops don’t respond to noise complaints from renters unless you live in a good neighborhood. I also don’t have hot water in my heating system but to be fair I haven’t told my landlord that because I can’t afford heating anyway.

    Denmark does not have a housing model that should be an inspiration to the rest of the world, especially not since the jobcenter is also partly responsible for housing you if you’re out of the job market and entirely responsible for you and your rent if you are handicapped, both of which are conflicts of interest and they have been documented to hold this power over vulnerable people so they can continue to have their labor exploited through “activation” programs. I’m perfectly capable of working despite my handicaps. Alas, the jobcenter has struck deals with local businesses and they won’t give me any of those jobs I can do because the jobcenter can just force me to do it and then not pay me so I can’t ever hope to move to better pastures.

    You might have been thinking of the Netherlands, but their government housing isn’t exactly a perfect system either but it’s better.

    Decomodify housing.
