  • This is me. I absolutely know better. I didn't fall for it. I'm perfectly willing to drink the disappointment when he wants an Israel tax or something. But God strike me down if this isn't neat.

  • "Sir, your hours in Satisfactory tell us all we need to know. You're free to continue"

  • I thought it was like a backup of your medical records. Also there might be medications that require special consideration like a blood thinner making your gums bleed or something. In addition, if you need some kind of accommodation because of a disability that might be worth writing down.

    My source is that I feel it like the na'vi feels the forests of Pandora

  • Only at the super bowl party did I realize how much the Epstein shit effected me. Is this real? You're going to break my brain

  • I think in terms of anything I ever learned about therapy and considered in my self reflection that if your aim is to be more mentally healthy then your goal ought to encourage you to be kinder to yourself. In that sense, an ideal mindset wouldn't be becoming less cringe, but rather to cease to be so cringed out by your past. That one day you might face it and understand that you were and continue to be a human constrained by your life experience, knowledge, and desires on a linear timeline with no do overs. Your existence in society is inexorably tied to confusion, an attention economy, and unfathomable violence. So to recognize yourself as imperfect could be a mental movement explored without it being a verdict on your worth & a debt to be paid and you can give yourself some grace from the vacuum you likely frame your shortcomings in. Insodoing the new cringe that comes up stops being an existentially threatening punch you always need your guard up for and becomes more like a rainy day you face with warm soup, curiosity, patience, and reflection.

  • But the market didn't get to decide whether the cessation of the horror of war crines is valuable or not

  • Could have sworn that figure was NK, but I didn't look it up before posting. I had to include Vietnam because of the barbarism which is geographically and chronologically close to the same conflict to my understanding. It only serves to highlight the horrible horrible way the US acted.

    And absolutely, I am absolutely not thrilled about the apartheid state. Please excuse my focus on the conduct of the US towards the outside world. Shout out to the Tuskegee experiment.

  • We also have one of ourselves which makes me smile

  • I was rolling it over in my head one time and I came to the conclusion that any type of food that was healthy or otherwise targeted to people conscious of the food they eat would struggle. If you care about your diet, you care about the quality of ingredients and that's a pain in the ass compared to the shit they put in food in the typical fast food chain. Then the people you serve are still going to complain.

    So you end up in a situation where nobody is paying your prices to source good ingredients, you're targeting a small niche of the people around you, and you don't get to just open a franchise + turn your brain off. It seems like you'd have to ask for support more than you could profit off of the venture by way of making a product people want.

  • Tankies stop at the system is fucked. It can’t be improved according to them, tear it down and build a new thing. Obviously that won’t happen and if we tried it would animal farm into something worse right off. And just isn’t true, the system here worked relatively well after the second world war. Never perfect, but with controls on the system and governed by mostly reason, we did make the most prosperous working class the world has every seen by a large margin. Now gone, chiseled away by the CPI having been understated for half a century averaging 2-3 percent a year just by 2008 under the new measures, while it was 5-8 percent under the old.

    That was not a good faith change, it was done to steal from working people at every level and stage, and give to investors, and no one questions it even still, as the ivy league suits tell us our buying power has never been higher, when that clearly isn’t true.

    the system here worked relatively well after the second world war. Never perfect, but

    You mean the people who kept threatening people with nukes? The people who proliferated atomic weapons giga? The ones who did 56 military interventions (old figure btw, doesn't include Venezuela, for example) in South America post WW2? The one that proliferated military bases all across the world? The Bay of Pigs people? The ones that invaded Vietnam because they were bored? The people who made North Korea the most bombed place ever? Coup in Guatemala so that bananas were cheap? The people who would rather destroy civilization than coexist with the USSR? You're saying that system worked relatively well? I'm saying that they were barbaric up to and through current events.

    I could have a prosperous working class too if I decided that my money was the world reserve currency because everyone else died in WW2 and proceed to loot other countries. But the prosperity that was enjoyed by others would, and was, only because there was a big strong union fighting and bleeding for the advocacy of the working class.

  • Is the ending the point of the song, you fool?! Is the corn tortilla the point of the dorito or is it the cool ranch? Can I have some?

  • You're a good person

  • I'm gonna need this bird to be immortalized as a sonic character

  • Well the answer is obvious. You've been disciplined by the free market, use it to your advantage! You could simply make a better product that people want to buy instead. Since they're giga-tankie at-what-costcels you should have no problem using your American exceptionalism to do better than them. Hope this helps!

  • I was under the assumption that the same cheap Chinese plastic constitutes everything on Amazon, Walmart, Target, any big box store, and non-food items in grocery stores. The same cheap Chinese plastic is in competition with itself on Amazon by people with different brand names. Then you get the consumer to sign up on your email list where you sell ads for other pieces of cheap plastic and LLM as a service products. When that succeeds you can reveal your methods in online classes.

    In that sense I didn't think much of dropshipping as moral depravity. I put it in the same category as gambling - something that wouldn't really be there in a healthier society. And in fact that conceptualization helped guide me to a place where I can find the beauty of doing honest work for honest pay in a walkable city in the presence of justice.

  • Can we take a second:

    Are there any penalties for sending barely literate emails? What if I just think less before hitting send?

  • Yeah, personally, I like

    Not war

    Not genocide

    Not secret police

    Yes collective bargaining for healthcare

    Yes collective bargaining in the workplace

    No housing speculation

    Yes walkable city

    Yes public transportation

    Yes high speed rail

    Yes renewable energy

    No politicians checking medical procedures

    And that in and of itself is enough to put me in stark opposition to Democrats. And all of that is before my beliefs about how the system is held together, violently enforced, addicted to looting other countries. I think it's cringe and I'm willing to read the words that people wrote trying to articulate it.

  • memes @hexbear.net

    URGENT MEME REQUEST: There's a live action version of this meme with Duran Duran's Invisible that I can't find.

  • The ICE Vanguard party that overthrows the US government that starts a fight with China is what sets off the American Century of Humiliation 3 years from now

  • This is a failure of community as a subsection of society that you can't throw your credit card at a friend, get groceries, and have them throw shit in a crockpot which takes all of 20 minutes and gives you a bunch of meals

    bit idea: dedicating a couple years of my life to learning American, English at the 5th grade level, and then applying to go get a racism degree at Harvard University

    While many of you are going "Go AFC Champions!" or "Go NFC Champions!" or "Go UFC Champions!" or "Go Robert Muller and the rule of law!" I'm yelling "Go Deadman Factions and the OSRS streamers!"

    "Who's going to clean the toilets?" is a civilization ending question? Why doesn't the public just put a bounty on methods of making it not suck?
