/u/outwrangle before everything went to shit in 2020, /u/emma_lazarus for a while after that, now I’m all queermunist!

  • I'd totally join a hive mind, but not if it was full of shitheads. 🤷‍♀️

  • No, I could totally see a dad crying with laughter over a not-that-funny joke.

  • Probably something stupid and boring like "Democrats are the real fascists" or whatever.

    I'm surprised anyone bothers with this horseshit anymore. It's very 00s.

  • It changes us. We watch people like her and Bushnell become martyrs, and it makes us confront ourselves. That's not nothing.

    Unfortunately, without an organized mass movement that can turn martyrdom into propaganda, it's just as likely to change us into depressed fatalists. You said it: we watch her die and the genocide continues, so the lesson people might take is "nothing matters".

  • Reindustrialization is when you deplete every sector of the economy to grow more tulip bulbs.

  • I don't think you read it. You said " it has no bearing on their life until it is distributed." It was being distributed! You said " They need to be taught how to gather evidence and the correct places to report such things." They did that too, they went to the school and the police. What the fuck else were they supposed to do? Steal their phones to gather evidence? Get real.

    It was only when they beat these little pigglets' asses that the police actually got serious, now the boys are facing charges.

    We can reasonably search the phones of teenagers that are trading child porn. It just didn't happen because, I guess, the school and police didn't care about what is essentially a child porn trading network that was exploiting and hurting young girls.

  • They need to be reminded that when someone does something like generating a deepfake of them, it has no bearing on their life until it is distributed. They need to be taught how to gather evidence and the correct places to report such things.

    Someone needs to remind you how to fucking read, because the images were being distributed and that was why the girls went to the guidance counselor and the police before resorting to violence.

  • Coal is outdated, kids on the naughty list now get solar panels.

  • Dystopian is when they finish the fully automated kill bots that kill you if you don't get to work on time.

  • Mice are using us to make themselves immortal. 😱

  • Landlords are middle men between tenant and the earth. But they are not middle men between consumers and commercial tenants.

    And commercial tenants can't access customers without the landlord.

    Face it, they're middle men.

  • Landlords are middle men.

    Is Amazon not a middle man? In many cases you're buying directly from the seller, just like at a farmer's market. Amazon, like a farmer's market, exists to facilitate trade between sellers and buyers. It just collects rents.

  • Do you think those things mean something isn't a middle man?

    The cost of putting the market together is always going to be higher than selling out of a van. Bigger venue, higher costs. It's worth it for the increased sales, but the middle man still gets a cut. Even if there's no profit, even if the cut is fair, there's still a cut.

  • i.e. a middle man

    A farmer could set up a stand outside their driveway and advertise on Facebook, but the farmer's market middle man acts as a go between to handle logistics and advertising and customer availability and creates a safe marketplace for customers and vendors.

  • Evil Hank has a gas hookup in his house, so he does all his cooking indoors. He doesn't even grill!

  • ... isn't the market a middle man? They charge for the booths.

  • Sorry, too far?

    It ran its course when you said allergies are a choice. You're literally telling me that you choose to be allergic, and that I choose to not be allergic. What the fuck do I say to that? So, I tried to highlight how alien and impossible to understand you are to me.

  • Not printing money is also bad for existing money. Deflation is a very bad thing.

    It's supply and demand, and supply creates its own demand. That's why the US economy grew so fast and became the reserve currency after it got off of the gold standard, it no longer had to be constrained by the limitations of gold and could just print whatever it needed. As long as there is demand, the supply can grow. When the supply grows, demand grows with it.

    You can't just print infinite money, but it's a lot looser than you seem to think. There's plenty of money left.

    They just hate their citizens and want them to suffer.

  • Ask Lemmygrad @lemmygrad.ml

    A recent argument forced me to see that "genocide" has been turned into an imprecise word, and I don't know what to do about that?
