If our oligarchs are smart, they’ll keep us near that red line, without allowing us to go over it.

I’d describe this as the strategy since the Great Depression. The New Deal was a bandaid for capitalism to make it palatable enough for enough people to prevent revolution.

But our oligarchs aren’t smart, or at least they think they’re smarter than their predecessors. They’re dismantling the things that keep the masses mollified and more people are realizing it.

When you say “feminism has been hijacked by career sociopaths” what are you specifically talking about?

Shitty title. Business school professors claim they trained an AI to judge workers’ personalities based on their faces.

The article talks about why that is such a stupid and terrible proposal.

If we are ever invaded by monkeys with balloons, I am ready to serve.

The trouble is that hitting the inside of the bump gets deflected towards the chest, which you really don’t want. Armor should be uniboob with a peak in the center deflecting outward.

I think it’s used in a lot of ways that isn’t “drinking a glass of milk”. I suspect most milk is poured over cereal. It’s also used a lot in cooking, but insisting on raw milk to bake with seems especially weird.

Maybe the joke isn’t particularly fair, maybe it doesn’t really need to be.

You have logical reasons to avoid antibiotics and preservatives. Someone might not agree, but whatever the case, you made that decision based on some amount of evidence.

Raw milk though… I think the meme is correct to equate anger with pasteurization as a denial of germ theory. We pasteurize and refrigerate for the same reason: to keep bacteria from growing. It is a fair question: if pasteurization is unnecessary, why is refrigeration necessary? Avoiding preservatives doesn’t beg the same question.

Quite a few weirdos, really.

I don’t really get the joke. So much of what they said was nonsense. Just about everything.

You don’t get to be a billionaire without being foolishly selfish.

A former coworker used to take leave when her kid was out of school. Kid was 10. I was a 10 year old “latchkey” kid in the 80’s, we’d get home, I’d make a snack for me and my 8 yr old brother. Then we’d ride our bikes until the streetlights came on, and we’d go home.

I’m not a parent. I don’t really think either her or my parents were “right” or “wrong”, but I don’t understand why that changed.

It would have been a great political move though. Make Republicans go on the record as wanting more money in politics. CU is horribly unpopular and they could go on the offense for once…if they wanted to.

They probably couldn’t pass it, but this is the precise sort of fight they could wage to excite their base…if they wanted to.

Not to defend the spineless Dems or this performative stunt, but it would be pretty difficult to pass at any point. They would need a lot of Republicans to join.

But I am picking nits. There’s no good reason not to push for this while they’re in power. If they had thrown their weight behind it in 2023, and forced Republicans to go on the record for CU, we’d probably have President Harris now.

if the US government wanted Google to do something, they could storm their headquarters and get the government tech people to go in the servers and change it.

Bwahahahahahahainhalehahahahahahaa

Thanks, I needed that. Whatever movies you’re watching are terrible.

Forcing your way into Google to have “government techs” change something is NCIS level ridiculous. Conceivably they might get a court order to “force” Google to change. Funnily enough, the US and Mexico have the exact same levers to make a company do what they want. The US has more power to push those levers though.

Doesn’t everyone cast Tarot to see if aoile or mustard is more auspicious today? If you want to use Bitchin’ Sauce while Mercury is in retrograde then that’s on you, buddy.

Racist assholes always pretend their stupidity is a joke. Get over yourself, Klansman.

Lol. I don’t know how you managed to have the absolute worst take to this stupid comic, but congratulations.

“The only racism Black people experience is one person not holding a door.” LMFAO
