Well it’s not like anyone in California needs lots of props.

In the short term i think people will just drive out of state, like they already do for actual guns. CA gun laws are aimed at the working class, thanks Reagan.

That’s the whole point of the stock market. To make us feel like equals, like we can join their team.
- Comment on I could quit AI anytime I want to 3 days ago:
Yep. I could run one locally, it just wouldn’t be as good and I don’t see much benefit even with today’s models.
My computer belongs to me.

Here’s the thing. I am aware that wind exists. I’ve seen wind. I’ve even seen it push shopping carts like you describe.
This isn’t a problem in every parking lot, particularly underground ones. And it’s still just as much of a problem with these pictured carts.
So people aren’t really upset about the wind.

When it’s so a corporation saves money: “The wind! The wind will blow the cart into cars! Wiiiiiiiiiiiind!”

If Ds are actually Fs, then they’ll get rid of Ds and then teachers will just make the tests easier. Someone decided this person’s knowledge was enough to progress.

That’s so you’ll just go bankrupt instead of thrown out on the street to die.

Patient: “You misunderstand, the diagnosis isn’t behind a lock, the medicine is.”
Doctor: “Fair enough, I’ll permanently label you as ‘drug-seeking’ and this isn’t libel somehow.”

UBI is not theoretical. It’s been tested numerous times, and the chalkboard arguments like this have been disproven. Look it up!

But then the smart high-status people wouldn’t get economic rent! People would poison themselves and we’d have an opioid epidemic! You’re basically a patent medicine snake oil salesman. /s

People were greedy before 1970! Something changed systematically, not the human psyche.

Why don’t you run back to your motte and bailey, you ad hominem?
- Comment on Housing prices 6 days ago:
That’s just moving the goalposts. A straw man is when one misrepresents their opponent’s argument as something weaker.
- Comment on Housing prices 6 days ago:
I don’t think the post said anything about inflation but I suppose it kinda relates because both things do cost more dollars than they used to.
Keynes predicted we’d have a 15-hour work week by now-ish. This was not the plan. Hell, we only adopted the Keynesian rationale after Tricky Dick ““temporarily”” broke the Bretton Woods Agreement in 1971.

Me last night: I put those chips out of reach for a reason!
Child: I can reach the ladder.
Me: You think you’re sooooo smart.
My eyes, which can’t lie: ooooh smart kid

What aggression? Taiwan has always been part of the USA.
- Comment on Sorcery battle 1 week ago:
IMHO the major world powers are more afraid of how their economies would collapse. We’re extremely interwoven now. What’s keeping China away from Taiwan is what they’ve seen in Ukraine and Iran.

Are the fossil fuels used to create wind and solar power are also unavoidable?

I’m also commenting to let people know I don’t care.
- Comment on Pikachu 1 week ago:
I guess what I’m trying to say is that we’d need some sort of coordination mechanism to do the pitchforks in unison. Even if you weren’t censored, it’d probably end up like the storming of Area 51. Whatever mechanism can survive the capitalist assault will probably end up handling a lot of peacetime functions afterwards.
Federation slightly reduces censorship, but it’s still there. And even if the server wasn’t compromised, half of the participants would be feds. We don’t have a systemic solution yet, just a place where we can talk about one.
- Comment on Pikachu 1 week ago:
I’d suggest counter-economics, unions, mutual aid, generally just a bunch of direct action.
I’m all for eating the rich too, but we won’t get there just by wishing really hard. We have to show people how a better world can be built. You’re doing it because you want things to change, most people who cooperate will just want to improve their financial situation.
Are we even particularly censored here? Luigi Mangione

There’s tons of ways to deal with them. I’ve heard vegans suggest compost, and people concerned about prions suggest autoclave.
