If the bandmate in front of you falls, pick up his clarinet and keep marching.
- Comment on They eliminated cashiers and keep the profits. NY Democrats are fighting back. 2 weeks ago:
Except horses aren’t people and aren’t allowed to vote, so actually, it’s nothing like that.
- Comment on They eliminated cashiers and keep the profits. NY Democrats are fighting back. 2 weeks ago:
Sure, I’m just saying, this wouldn’t be a hard law to enforce.
- Comment on They eliminated cashiers and keep the profits. NY Democrats are fighting back. 2 weeks ago:
You don’t think they’ll drag such a tax through the court system? Our enemies don’t want any restraints on businesses, anything we try to do will be fought.
- Comment on They eliminated cashiers and keep the profits. NY Democrats are fighting back. 2 weeks ago:
or tax the company to help mitigate the harm it’s causing by eliminating jobs.
Well. Discounting items in self-checkout is actually a tax on the company for using self-checkout.
- Comment on They eliminated cashiers and keep the profits. NY Democrats are fighting back. 2 weeks ago:
I don’t think it would be difficult to forbid self-checkout at all, actually.
There’s a difference between enforcing laws on individuals and enforcing laws on businesses. Businesses can’t exactly run and hide, if they’re using self-checkout they’re going to get found out. That’s distinct from something like the drug trade, which is all underground and hidden.

You can just play a different game.
- Comment on How can people with ADHD possibly enjoy movies if they daydream and can't focus on the movie? 3 weeks ago:
I haven’t watched a movie in ten years.
- Comment on Brought to you by RFK Jr. 3 weeks ago:
Their logic is “women are cattle that exist to breed” and so there’s literally no argument in favor of abortion you can ever make.

pls pls pls first LLM senator

250 years isn’t that soon.
- Comment on Could the Supreme Court overturning Marbury vs Madison be a way to repeal the US Constitution? 1 month ago:
Not really. Effectively, the Court is checked by their legitimacy. That’s why they’re actually concerned about how the appear to the public and which way the political winds are blowing. If they go too far and do something truly radical, like repeal the Constitution, they’d probably be killed.
- Comment on Finally an explanation 1 month ago:
We are limited by our material conditions. In an ideal world, every Nazi would be reeducated.
We don’t have the capacity or the time for that. We have to stop them by any means necessary, before it’s too late.

What the fuck are you talking about?

Run me over… on the beach?
- Comment on Sound of silence 1 month ago:
Aw that’s not fair - they think about themselves all the time! They spend so much time thinking about themselves, in fact, that they don’t have the extra brain power to spare for the rest of us.
- Comment on Sound of silence 1 month ago:
I have come to understand that there is a subset of people that have never spared a thought for anyone else. They probably have never even considered the fact that I don’t want to listen to their stupid bullshit. The thought never crossed their mind, not even once.

You sound like a man.
- Comment on Hillary Clinton Says Biden’s Re-election Bid Was a ‘Terrible Mistake’ 1 month ago:
What do you think a Party even is? Do you think it’s a liberal social club? That the DNC is just a bunch of like-minded individuals?
The Party is an institution, with its own leadership and structure and financiers and insiders. It’s an organization.
It’s baffling that you don’t think a political party has a political agenda.
- Comment on Hillary Clinton Says Biden’s Re-election Bid Was a ‘Terrible Mistake’ 1 month ago:
I’m baffled by your reply - what does it have to do with my comment?
My point is that party primaries are not fair, and they are not intended to be fair. The Democrats could make a primary rule that forbids socialists from even running as Democrats, and it would be entirely legal. Primary rules are not the same as general election rules. Any socialist trying to run as a Democrat should run under the assumption that the Party will put its thumbs on the scale.
- Comment on Hillary Clinton Says Biden’s Re-election Bid Was a ‘Terrible Mistake’ 1 month ago:
I will never believe the 2020 Iowa caucus was legitimate - the Iowa Democratic Party chair resigned after that disaster and Iowa lost its first in the nation status because of how badly it fucked things up.
- Comment on Average person eats six times more chicken than in 1961, UN report finds | Agriculture is the second most polluting sector of the global economy 2 months ago:
Obviously just statistical error. The average person eats about the same amount of chicken. Chicken Georg, who lives in cave & eats over 10,000 each day, is an outlier and should not be counted.
- Comment on Has anyone else noticed the strong pro CCP and anti-west vibes here? 2 months ago:
That would require reading a book that wasn’t assigned to them by their government in school, and they’d rather die.
- Comment on The Matrix 2 months ago:
I wonder if they did it intentionally.
Changing the pill from red to blue basically cost them nothing and served no purpose, but just so happened to ruin the metaphor.
- Comment on The Matrix 2 months ago:
But my estradiol is a blue pill? 🤔
- Comment on Hail corporate (they did it tho) 3 months ago:
No. Profit is revenue in excess of costs, yes, but the cost of building a table isn’t merely the cost of the materials. Costs also include the time and effort spent building the table, the time and effort spent learning to build tables, and the cost of acquiring tools with which to build, and the cost of having a space in which to build.
When you factor these other costs in to the table, the builder breaks even. Yes, even if they end up with more money than with which they started. They simply exchanged their time and effort for money, but they can never get that time back can they?

Yeah, adult dinosaur toys would have feathers.
- Comment on Hail corporate (they did it tho) 3 months ago:
Instead of paying workers what they are worth, they are paid a market wage that is always less than the value they produce.
That’s where profit comes from.

So you’re the reason they haven’t gone out of business.
