I'll bite, friend.

Implementation of either system leads to inequality and genocide. History is straightforward on this. When human beings implement Capitalism, you get imperialism and, to name an example, the exploitation and killing of the Native peoples of America. Or Africa. When communism is implemented by human beings, the result always leads to some form of State Capitalism, and goals to be attained through the power of centralization lead to unintended consequences, the most popular being starvation. Communist regimes definitely rock the starvation numbers. Also, you give absolute power to a small group of people, which allows them to kill anyone they don't like. The most famous examples can be found here.

Communism attempts to force equality (a paradox), but universal equality doesn't exist in the real world. No matter the system, somebody has to be in charge, and they all get there and stay there the same way. A great book to read on the identical patterns of attaining and keeping political power is The Dictator's Handbook which brings up Selectorate Theory. Basically, whether you're the leader of a Communist regime, a Capitalist nation, a large private business, or any organization of a large group of people, the rules and tools of governance stay the same.

The ideology of Communism appears to come from a place of charity and mutual benefit, and that certainly is admirable. The pursuit of helping your neighbor is a high virtue. However, there are many people who do not hold charity as a virtue, or do not possess the constitution to act upon that charity beyond their own self-preservation. And this is why pure Communism stays in the vacuum of books and the imaginations of the literate peasant, and falls short of its high demands whenever it is attempted. One way or another, the good nature of Socialist doctrine is corrupted by greed and sociopathy (in the highest ranks) and, most importantly, laziness. Laziness really is the key here. Reading the long-winded Marx literature, then reading the revisionist literature, then reading the counterargument literature, then reading all the amateur Marxist campus-count literature, is exhausting (to say the least). Most people hate reading. If you're still reading this, I commend you. Then those people have to live it, and embody an ideal that doesn't form naturally. The only people with the energy to do it must possess a most fervent ambition, and and a towering mental capacity beyond your average human being. Those people are more often than not motivated by pure hatred for the existing system and the people who defend it. Which is fair. Capitalism in a vacuum would be a meritocracy, but in the real world only leads to a sort of "singularity" of accumulation of wealth and exploitation of the masses. Nobody wants that (unless you're the guy/gal on top). However, some issues arise when your entire belief system (one of charity towards fellow man) is fueled by hatred and rage. When I see these hardcore Communists who spend their days ripping apart the agents of Capitalism (a genocidal machine) and touting the benefits of Communism (another genocidal machine), I'm seeing someone who, if given absolute power, would absolutely become a dictator. Someone who personally wishes to harm those who they perceive as harmful. Someone who would take their turn at utilizing oppression in the name of the oppressed, and for oppression's sake.

My final thought is this: Our world is complicated, unpredictable, and chaotic. We think we have a rough idea on how our day is going to be when we wake up in the morning. We all have skills and natural talents to help us make this life more manageable, to give us a modicum of control. However, we are all subject to the void. We are pulled along by forces beyond our comprehension, and are motivated by desires both base and divine. "Capitalism" and "Communism" and its many, many derivatives are nothing more than labels, identified patterns, and projections of possibilities that could be accomplished with the uniformity of masses of individuals. Individuals are not perfect, and so the systems are not perfect. You are technically capable of getting a healthy amount of sleep every day, exercising regularly, eating vegetables every day, never drinking or abusing substances, being a good listener to your loved ones and your neighbor, and attaining the highest quality of living in the process. But you won't.

TL;DR Both systems lead to inequality and mass murder. No system can be foolproof against tools like you guys, or me for that matter.

I drink a ton of water and still feel constantly dehydrated, so I looked into this. turns out your body needs help retaining the water, and some people's are better at it than others.

electrolytes help with this. some people recommend Gatorade or Pedialyte (Pedialyte is great but expensive). I went with a concentrated electrolyte solution.

https://www.amazon.com/LyteShow-Electrolyte-Concentrate-Rehydration-Magnesium/dp/B00EISFBYA is the one I got if you're interested, but I'm sure there are more. I find it definitely helps me maintain hydration, not to mention it's awesome for preempting hangovers.

This greatest hits album is a pretty good collection of some of their best known stuff. Mr. Blue Sky is on an album called "Out of the Blue" which is a really strong double album. I've listened to it a lot and there are few places where it really drags.

If you're actually serious, this is an excellent read and a good starting point. Here is a free PDF copy. Here is another free PDF copy with links. One of the most incisive, accessible, and well-researched resources out there today.

The short answer to "debunk the statistics" is that due to a wide range of factors, people of color are MUCH more likely to experience poverty and as such much more likely to resort to crime. (They also experience the effects of poverty differently, in part due to unequal policing practices.) The economic piece the biggest, but there's a lot going on, so like I said lots of great books on the subject if you're interested, Rothstein's is a good place to start. I would also recommend The New Jim Crow by Michelle Alexander.

You are welcome! I pretty much bought this one year ago (but I had to get the charger somewhere else, this one includes it) : https://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-K-KJ17MCA4BA-Individual-eneloop-Rechargeable/dp/B00JHKSMJU/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?keywords=AA+charger&qid=1567261394&s=gateway&sr=8-3

The Elite controller was a huge flop and it is strongly outdated, I'm pretty sure it doesn't even have Bluetooth, and also you can simply buy the standard controller if you don't like it or buy one of the third party ones.

For anyone who needs 10TB for homework, there’s a great sale on a WD external for $146 here

I’m pretty sure they did. They also made a communism version where the tag line was “because capitalism’s for winners” or something.

Edit: it’s called Monopoly Socialism, heres the Amazon page

Really seems like they are trying to be tactful about censorship on here too. They are clearly suppressing posts on here but want it to fizzle out not just block every single one. I was looking at Free Hong Kong T-shirts and I found all of these one star reviews hilariously out of touch: https://www.amazon.com/product-reviews/B07V7YTPQJ/ref=acr_dp_hist_1?ie=UTF8&filterByStar=one_star&reviewerType=all_reviews#reviews-filter-bar

Poeple commenting on the poor quality of the shirt and then making an anti-HK comment. It's obvious they would never buy the shirt but somehow want us to believe they did.
