I like this one
If I wanted to fuck bitches, I wouldn't be at a gay bar. I'm here to get my fuck on with men, with REAL men, not cuckold bitches
Next time a gay guy trys to rape me I will use it, assuming I am in a gay bar when he tries to rape me. Liberals have ruined gay bars with their bullshit and unironically made it gay to go to them so I may never return.

Why getting a claim from Vader, and not anyone else in particular?
In case he is mostly inactive so he has less room to maneuver later if he is scum

For each new occupant that exists, there would need to exist a new contract, ensuring both parties wish to involve themselves in the union. For instance, this new individual might not approve of the police force, and for this reason, refuse to opt in and pay the taxes.
well like I was trying to say. The original owner basically has given this self formed government ownership of the property and essentially transfer rights to the property to his child. So I guess if the son did not want to agree to pay taxes and use the police force etc., property ownership would have to go back to the self formed government and he would have to leave the community and hope all of the lands in the surrounding communities have not formed similar self styled governments with the land they own.
"Trespassing" implies that some piece of owned land is being transgressed upon so no, that would not be allowed. However, if the land has not been claimed in any way then they have the right to travel on it.
So a few questions regarding this;
1. What if somebody or many people buy the land surrounding them and cut them off from resources?
2. If the neighbor is playing loud music or shining a light through their window at night, would these beams of light or sound waves be considered trespassing?

Is it okay for a person to trespass on land they do not own in an anarcho capitalist society?

@Bones
So the government doesn't have a right to simply proclaim they own land and then write their laws and rules in place
No, I am talking about a group of people coming together, but let's scale it down. Perhaps people buy property and own the few acres it is on. Certainly they could create laws and taxes and even a police force and fire department on their plot of land. Perhaps they sign a contract so the community retains rights to the land but they can sell it amongsts themselves and pay a small property tax on the land, but they may only sell it to those who agree to respect the community rights to the land. It wouldn't be a government proclaiming they own land. Just a community of people who come together and form a government among themselves for the land they occupy.
You would agree that somebody could deed property to their children wouldn't you? And that if those children obtained property in a community that formed some sort of central party that presides over the land than that would have to be respected as honestly when you put it this way only the rights to the land is passed down, the community would retain ownership?

This is why in the last stage of my life I might become a lawyer. I think we are going to see kids suing doctors for cutting off their penises or force feeding girls chemicals that give them male pattern baldness at 20. Plus those treatments have already been linked to increases in cancer. I am 40 so maybe when I turn 50, I pursue a law degree and help these abused kids out, I know the left is asically confessing they know that sex changes are harmful which is why they are opposed to allowing lawsuits on doctors who do them. I also want to start suing schools under the equal treatment clause of the constitution for the loss of funding for female sports by allowing males pretending to be girls to play on the girls team and divert funding from girls.
I just want to be that guy the media paints as a supervillain for getting rich off of suing retarded leftists

I do have a part of me that enjoys the right using the same tactics. I oppose this tactic but if Trump wins and everyone starts using lawfare for a few years to hammer liberals, I would be cool with it. They deserve a taste of their own medicine but at some point they need to step back from that approach.

@FLRW
The most simple reason why somebody might not believe in a god is that he or she doesn't see any persuasive reason or evidence to believe. They don't feel the need to believe in a god to explain the world around them. Nor do they believe a god is necessary for human beings to lead good, happy, and meaningful lives.
Why are you wrapping your statements in strawman arguments. You accurately describe the atheistic position as a position where the atheist doesn't see persuasive evidence. That's fine and it reflects my views from when I was an atheist, but lets go to the strawmans.
They don't feel the need to believe in a god to explain the world around them
Argument: Theists believe in God to help them explain the world
There is a lot of reasons to believe but barely anyone is worshipping the God of the Gaps. We are not in 200 BC and wondering who is pulling the sun up every morning
Nor do they believe a god is necessary for human beings to lead good, happy, and meaningful lives.
Argument: God is a crutch to lead a happy, good meaningful life.
hidden argument. It is possible to live that type of life without God
the reality. You can't lead a good life, with or without God. You benefit off of the violence that keeps society safe, you likely eat meat that harms animals, you likely wear clothes and most clothing factories have very horrible working conditions involving almost slavery but certainly child labor. You have a carbon footprint. Your food, gas and living condition is affordable due to exploitation of the less fortunate. If you think you are capable of living a good life, you are wrong. Jesus is there to forgive your evil life not to help you lead a good one.
Life is meaningless for an atheist. It ends there is no afterlife. You die and this means that nothing you do matters. You will just be a grain of sand in history, you and the people you love will be forgotten. SO good luck living a meaningful life as an atheist.
Maybe as an atheist you can achieve happiness, but who cares. It's meaningless and it is at the expense of others. ENjoy your herpes from your atheist orgies, enjoy your popcorn lungs from vaping marijuana and enjoy jacking off to women exploited for their pussy and ass . and enjoy the animals you eat who ssuffered to get on your plate. Enjoy your life of benefitting off of the violence of police officers who keep society safe enjoy the cheap clothing you buy that was made by child slaves. If you can be happy in that type of life, don't pretend it is because you are a good person.

In anarcho capitalism, would it be acceptable to acquire land, even large tracts of land that are country sized and start a community on them? A community where we vote on leadership, create a constitution? set up 3 branches of government and agree to certain things like the voting age being 18, banning drunk driving within the confines of our community etc?

We all know that hate speech laws are stupid. They turn things into thought crimes essentially a murder is a murder is a murder and when you try to analyze the thoughts of a person and outlaw certain ones after they committed a crime it is a slippery slope to other weird shit. Ignorant stuff like you see in the UK where an autistic girl was just arrested for hate speech by telling a cop she looked like her lesbian grandmother. BTW, the girls grandma was lesbian and resembled the cop, not that it matters much because it shouldn't be illegal to insult somebody anyways.
Gregg Abbot and many other Republicans are signing laws that stop antisemitism. In Gregg Abbots case he is using executive orders to do so and is using phrasing like ""We have to keep our universities SAFE SPACES"
These are the same people just a few years ago who were crying that twitter and facebook were not free speech places. The republican party is a big tent party, but just like we removed neocons from the party we also need to remove whatever this bullshit is. Free speech is sacred and we can't have both political parties opposed to it. At least one party has to be the party of freedom . Punish these people by allowing democrats to win if they go against principles such as free speech. https://thedailytexan.com/2024/04/01/civil-rights-organizations-uts-palestine-solidarity-committee-condemn-abbotts-executive-order-regarding-university-free-speech-policies/

he randomly does 3 hour long speeches that show up live on youtube. Just compare them to Biden's 10 minutes in front of cameras that are highly scripted and how fast he is rushed off stage and not allowed to answer questions. This is kindergarten "My guy got found out as having dementia so yours does to". You won't see republicans doing this shit. When Reagan had dementia we didn't start claiming that his opponents also randomly had dementia as well. There was denial of his dementia but none of the projection.

Jake Paul will be fighting Mike Tyson on netflix. I am watching it, you will be watching it. Nobody is going to be able to resit the draw. However it is stupid. Either it will be an embarrassment because they will do something like strap them in 16 oz gloves which is like punching somebody with a pillow or something much worse. The odds are in Tyson's favor but if the match is taken seriously by both guys, Jake Paul is probably winning. It's a late 20s roid freak with professional boxing experiencs, facing off against a 60 year old man.
The second I see Tyson start to lose, I am turning off the event, but Jake paul cannot win. He either loses to a 60 year old Mike Tyson and embarrasses himself or he beats the shit out of a senior citizen. Either way, no matter the results. Everyone should be done paying attention to this piece of shit who seduces old men out of retirement to get some sort of sick pleasure out of beating the shit out of them. Granted he almost lost to Anderson SIlva, but I think Anderson Silver will be better than Tyson at current age.
10 years ago I told DDO that I could kick Mike Tyson's ass. If I could have kicked his ass 10 years ago, he is no match for jake paul and if you guys plan on gambling on this stupid boxing match, put your money on Grandpa killer. Yes I hope Paul gets punched so hard by Mike tyson that he dies, but lets be honest. Mike Tyson is going down with the exception of some really weird shit like 16 oz gloves

I will share one aimed at me in a gay bar once.
You are gay. You came into a gay bar and have been flirting with several men. I saw you drinking beer paid for by these other men you have been flirting with all night, so stop denying that you are some sort of faggot and fuck me right here right now
insult is from some bisexual friend who thought I would loosen up if he took me to a gay bar and then he started getting pissed because my night was paid for by a bunch of faggots and he had to buy his own alcohol.

@RationalMadman
you don't get rich running businesses. Like I said 100 hour weeks and pay that was barely 6 figures. I am now studying so I can make that much in 40 hours. What happens in that situation is a lot of eating out, and I honestly was stupid and very busy so I essentially just signed my wife the paycheck over immediately. At acertain point I was getting frustrated with her because I worked so hard. I was like "I give you my money, our bills aren't crazy high why the fuck am I broke". Moral of the story I guess is I can't trust her with money. I was hoping not to deal with money because I find it dirty but I have to. I know make half that amount of money and work 40 hours and have more spending money. You do not get rich from making a business a shitload of money. You get rich by getting lucky enough to have a large sum of money so you can hire somebody like me to make you rich.

Because AI is pozzed. We can make our own small LLMs and there are some open source options that will eclipse the current corporate bullshit. I would like to see an AI take all christian writings before the year 1400 or whatever and then train an LLM directly on that so we can get a model we know is actually altruistic and will give good responses TBH. we can also throw popular recent people in there as well as long as they are vetted, such as C.S.

@zedvictor4
This is essentially similar to seiging a walled city. I have studied Julius Caesar a bit and this is the modern equivalent to attacking a walled city. First you surround it and starve it out. Often this has the habit of turning the people against the soldiers and calling the soldiers cowardly for not protecting them, this forces the soldiers to make premature and unnecessarily aggressive moves.
Once the walled city is properly weakened you make some tactical strikes over and over. You are surrounding a walled city and cutting them off from the world so the time is on your side. Once they are severely weakened, once all the tunnels are collapsed in, then you get a ground invasion and anyone who is found to be in HAMAs are given the modern day equivalent to Nuremburg trials and you will see Israel occupy Gaza in a similar way to how the United States Occupied afghanistan until the recent withdrawal. I believe you'll also see vast improvements in their society with the occupiers switching from Hamas to Israel. more prosperity and peace and a puppet government installed with western values

yeah, I didn't own the businesses but you should try it. I can help you with your resume and maybe help you bullshit your way into a position so you can do it at some level. I don't know whether you would be good at it or not but you can take a look at your actions and how those actions reflect on the numbers. Usually in those positions you have access to numbers where you can compare year over year profits. Allow a 5% increase for inflation but anything over the 5% is something you and your management team have done to increase sales unless you can attribute some blackswan event or large marketing effort outside of your control. If the marketing effort is always large though than, no you would still get credit for increases over 5% because their efforts likely only maintained. You could also look at how you contributed to the bottom line by keeping very good track of shrinkage, and shrinkage or waste could remove any benefit you created that goes over 5% or it could push you over the 5% increase mark. So if you made no progress in increasing business but you dramatically reduced anything like labor, shrinkage or utilities than you have still created excess profit for the business that your predecessor couldn't have. If you aren't the head of the managing team you personally won't get credit without good politicking. They will, but you can see if your efforts have impact and whether they are negative or positive. Most good businesses will give you bonuses for increasing profit through those mechanisms so if you find one that does, you will have no reason to necessarily keep track yourself, they will and you can track whether you made a real difference based on whether you maxxed out your bonuses or not.
It is just a fact that a lot of people run businesses better than the majority of business owners, and smart business owners who are aware of this take the risk and remove themselves from much of the equation and hire good managers if their business allows for it. the one thing owners always seem aware of is your impact even if you don't so if you ever want to test your impact than you can always break some rules. Take a personal loan of $1000 out of the safe and return it 3 days later on payday.
Are you fired?
No, then you get the business good results and even when they are annoyed with you they will pretend they aren't and you can now start making decisions on their behalf that will further increase profits. Next step and one I should have did on multiple occasions but merely left instead. You just tell them that you want to leave and start building something, then they offer ownership options, assuming the organization is small enough and it isn't just some poor district manager whose hands are tied.

RM is correct that discord works better. I am not done setting this up but here is what I was working on. I am going to make anyone a full mod who I can trust to be emotionally stable and supports free speech that joins in the next 14 days or so. I am not using the official Discord because it tends to ban the same users as the site etc., so it would not be a safe place for bans that I personally disagree with such as Brother D. Thomas. https://discord.gg/xEGnTpHZ
Anyone who has personal differences than me who feels unwelcome is likely incorrect about that, so join and you have a type of holding cell for refugees should anything happen and this site can be recreated with a community effort to just take a few months for everyone to learn a diffferent thing. for example of a plan off the top of my head
1. Have a lead developer that actually knows what they are doing and at least 3 people currently on the site could qualify for this
2. a few users who take 10 minutes to learn HTML which they likely only need to know 10 tags to code that portion of the front end
3. A handful of users to learn Bootstrap. Bootstrap is also something that can be learned in an afternoon but with a bit more effort than HTML
4. People who want to put in some effort to google what needs to be done with javascript
5. some people who simultaneously are working to build database/authentication in Django
I think none of those tasks would take longer than 2 weeks to learn and you could just keep the project as opensource on github and have a few lead developers in charge of approving any changes to the main codebase so that way everyone who wanted to work on it could. So everything is recoverable and we should be keeping notes or high effort threads and debates we do in a notebook such as Obsidian that is off site

Here is some issues I have had with business owners.
1. Upon being put in charge of a restaurant I went through health inspections and noticed the criticisms were around certain fixes the owner could make but I was unauthorized to make. Those cheap fixes were dismissed and the business survived the next 2 years because I built up relationships with health inspectors and biased them. After I left the place was robbed because my security policies were no longer listened to and then failed a health inspection and had to be sold.
2. I was put in charge of a quick service place in philadelphia. The place did not rotate product properly so was losing money from excess waste, product was up too long and not fresh wasting more food product and losing sales. the drive through times were at 5 minutes. When I left I had food waste below $20 a day and drive through times below 2 minutes and not to mention the crew made minimum wage and had high turnover. I created a pipeline so I could promote my staff upwards quickly and spread them to other parts of the chain. This allowed for me to increase retention dramatically and save tons on training costs and prevent losses due to being short handed.
I have tons of ways that I make businesses more money. I do know how to run them, and if anyone has a business that is struggling just get in contact with me. If you are break even or losing a tiny bit of money, I am likely the answer to your problem. I have turned around places losing a tiny bit of money or who were break even before in an industry with a very small profit margin

It's so easy right?Run one then.
I have ran them. I have been paid good money to run them and when I have, I have gotten the great results. I am so confident in my abilities that if somebody approaches me to run a business I think I could competently run than I will work for zero dollars and the only salary I will ask for is for 50% of the increases in profit from the prior years numbers. I would need to be confident their accounting is on point though .
If I wanted to at the moment with my resume, inside of the next 12 weeks I could likely run another business again if I chose to, unfortunately I am not a fan of 100 hour work weeks and dealing with assholes so it would have to be very good pay or the deal I mentioned above.

Debate art is financially strapped. Mike is thinking of selling the site or even donating the site because he likely has a life and better things to do than maintain a site that he is losing money on. Even if you have no money there are ways to help. If you are a broke boy than download brave browser. Just go to brave.com and you earn cryptocurrency by donating the crypto currency (BAT) to debateart.com. I will release a video soon on why you should prefer this browser in general but here is a video where in it you can see how easy it is to disable scripts https://youtu.be/rhn0wdYLzls?si=vvG3cqQTGtYcEZVQ . Yes you can disable scripts to get around pay walls. Not all paywalls but some. Don't do that. However it also prevents cross site scripting hacks and also makes clinking links safe if you disable javascript before clicking them. Brave browser is the best browser on the planet so it isn't an act of charity to switch over to it, just donate your BAT which you won't use anyway to debateart.com
If you are not a broke boy. Also please install Brave browser and donate BAT, but also donate on Patreon. https://www.patreon.com/DebateArt
Mike does reward patreon donors with credits, and for more information on where your money goes, click on the following link. https://info.debateart.com/platform-development/donations
Anyway thanks for reading this and lets at least once a year make a real effort to help mike be rewarded for his hard work even if he denies needing the reward or the real risk of not helping him.
