First, you are back! Yay.

Second, you don't know? r/place is a reddit event where all communites around the internet go and paint a pixel art canvas to express themselves and fight for territory.

Just google it.

Tried doing r/place, apparently it doesn’t work on iPad, despite it seemingly being mouse based

It works on the Reddit app.

What nonsense is this?

[EuchreJack]

What is something you don't believe in, and what is something you know isn't real?

For example, I don't believe in Traditional Chinese Medicine, but I'm certain acupuncture is bullshit.

For the former, "capitalism is good", for the second "flat earth" or a similar easily-disprovable crackpot theory.

Before you continue your attack on Capitalism, consider Shaq O'Neal. He could only be the greatest American because of capitalism. He's the one that showed people could survive AIDS.
I mean, at least look up what the guy has done with capitalism before launching into some random shit how he'd have a chance of success under a socialist model.

You alright EJ? Shaq hasn’t been mentioned.

Unless you’re predicting arguments, which is rather poor form.

There’s putting words in someone’s mouth by misinterpreting what they say, then there’s that, which is you essentially arguing with your idea of who your debating partner is, in which case you could quite easily just sit in the corner and argue with yourself for all the good it’ll do.

I mean you’ve basically said Max won’t look up Shaq prior to responding with “random shit” about socialism. As opposed to randomly bringing up a basketball player who has HIV which has nothing to do with economic theory?

Like really dude what’s the point? Are you looking for a fight, or are you just trolling?

Exactly. I knew of him already.

[EuchreJack]

I was basically just thinking how great Shaq was, realized he was a good argument for capitalism, so I brought it to Max's attention.
Then was afraid Max would counterattack prior to looking Shaq up.
Thankfully, Max has already looked Max up, so sorry about that.

@Hector: STFU.

I don’t get how a basketball;l player has anything to do withcapitalism

Two things:
1) Capitalism created the NBA that got him fame & fortune
2) Post-Basketball, Shaq has become a business mogul. He forced Papa John's to let him on their board, even though their founder had a problem with him being black. So the founder is out and Shaq is in!

[hector13]

I think the fact capitalism allows skills which have no real value to society to achieve that level of fortune is a significant point against it.

Further that the NBA kow-tows to China whenever any of its players has the sheer cheek and audacity to criticize the Chinese government’s treatment of Uyghurs in the name of capitalism (oh noes China is not showing games because they don’t like free speech) is a further point against.

But sure, Shaq is rich and black. He managed to leverage the ridiculous amount of money he earned doing nothing particularly useful, and now earns more. Better than blowing it all on blackjack and prostitutes, I suppose.
