  • Humans do not currently have the technology to create long term, self-sustaining closed ecosystems.

    No one on earth has successfully created one, and biodome was cut short due to private equity buying it out and basically forcing the project to shut down.

    The billionaire bunkers may be designed for long term survival, but they will have a finite amount of food at least. Water can be replaced via wells, electricity can be generated with SMNRs(if the billionaires even own those), and food may be able to be supplemented for a while with grow lights, but eventually the soil will deplete due to not having a sustainable ecosystem.

    All we have to do is poor concrete in front of the entrance and wait.

    Investing is only a risk if you’re poor.

    That little disclaimer your financial institution gives you that investing is risky and you may lose all your money? That only applies to the poors. When the rich and banks invest in bad businesses or loans, they can cry to the government that they’re about to lose everything and won’t Uncle Sam pretty please open up his wallet and give us a small loan of a few billion dollars.

    I say let em go broke. We should have broken up the banks in 2008, fired the whole C suite of chase and all the other banks, and set up smaller banks that now know if they fuck up they’ll get dissolved. Instead we gave them a slap on the wrist and trillions of dollars to fix their own fuckup. This only taught them that they can continue to make massively risky investments with no downsides.

    That’s Leviticus.

    Leviticus is Old Testament. If you actually read the Bible and follow its teachings, a Christian is not supposed to be following the Old Testament. That’s why it’s the “old” testament and now there’s a New Testament that is supposed to be followed instead of “Old Testament 2: zombie boogaloo”. The Old Testament is there for context. The whole idea of the New Testament is god came down to look upon his world as one of his creations, went “this shit’s kinda fucked” and started handing out new rules to make the place a little less fucked. It’s a real shame that most Christians haven’t read the Bible and depend on old guys in strange buildings to tell them what a book says, world would probably be a lot cooler if these people could be bothered to fucking read.

    “Love one another” is not a complicated line full of subtext and what-ifs. You don’t need an old dude at the front of a crowd to tell you what it means, unfortunately there’s very few actually good Christians out there so now we’re here.

    Anywhere, here’s a few great lines to throw at shitty people who use the Bible as cover for being bastards:

    1 Timothy 2:12

    I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet.

    This one was particularly good at convincing my Bible thumping aunt to leave me alone when I told her I was bisexual and an athiest. She started lecturing Bible verses at me and I hit her with Ye Olde “Shut up bitch”

    Mathew 6:1-34

    _Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven. _
