Yeah and while your in, you don’t have the free time or money to use a military discount for anything significant.
- Comment on Shamelessly stolen from Reddit 1 day ago:
That’s not what a military discount is or does. It’s for active duty only, or full time retired, meaning you need an active and valid military ID on your person that matches YOU. Not your wife, not your friend Larry, not your brother Darrell, not your OTHER brother Darrell, YOU. It’s one of the things that makes life harder for people who leave the military. And while your in it, it does you little good.

Yeah, I remember being in my 20s too. Too bad they are going through the same shit we did. are we getting another “this is a trauma response” generation?

probably Psalm 69 by Minstry, I made the same mistake in high school, my headphones didn’t leak anything, but several lesser demons briefly manifested. I just went back to listening to White Zombie, and it all calmed down.

- Comment on Inflation Outpaces Wage Growth For Over 40% Of Americans 6 days ago:
Unfortunately I have decades of experience in retail, and several years in pricing. Pricing has almost nothing to do with markup ratios alone. That’s not how it works. How it actually works is that they charge what people expect to, are conditioned to, or are willing to pay. So I sell you a $7,000 TV I’m lucky if I make $20 on the deal. If you buy 3 HDMI cables I just made $60 in profits. Clothes is even crazier, I’ll sell you any leather product at a loss but you buy a well made mixed fabric dress and that’s $40 against a total cost of $0.75, and that’s mostly shipping. Soft lines are an absolute beast. Then you have advanced fuckery. Walmart has a lot of money. If the textiles film Bangladesh get hit harder than the textiles film Indonesia, guess who can afford to pay a shipping company based in Indonesia to forge paperwork and swap cargo in a third countries port without anyone in the US figuring it out for decade even if they cared to investigate and in the end they’re have to pay a find that will probably be less than the money saved from the tariff. Small businesses will die. Huge businesses will get bigger and more powerful. This was always the plan.

- Comment on Inflation Outpaces Wage Growth For Over 40% Of Americans 1 week ago:
it depends a lot on the business model. but like a lot of qualified people have been pointing out, places like Wal-Mart can weather the losses considering a story will make up to a 1-3million a day, and they pay the 40 people who work there so little they quality for SNAP there’s a lot of cushion to absorb the costs. but no business with less than 15 employees is going to make it.
- Comment on Too bad we can't have good public transportation 2 weeks ago:
yeah, anti public transit has several motivations, the most American is racism. if we have robust public transit, they can’t be “whites only” and you can’t force the not-whites to sit in the back. so right there. Then you have white land owning hegemony. Why do the busses only go downtown and not to the shopping center half way to the suburbs? because they don’t want the filthy poors mucking up their white fort, if you let busses go up to the suburbs then THEY can get there and do all the things they get blamed for!! Lastly, profit motive. mass transit means people can choose to have a car or not. the powers that be are making a lot of money off cars and mass transit will upset the apple cart.

conversion therapy is not at all the same thing. conversion therapy is usually phycological abuse of already participating religious people who are trying to “convert” their sexual orientation to “normal”.
to convert someone is to try and get them to join your church.
they’re very different things.

That’s like saying too many people listen to music and it’s flooded with mediocrity, there’s a lot of really unrelated genres and time periods, and trends that come and go continually, like everything there’s a big amount of meh tier work.

We’re unlearning a lot today.
- Comment on Gravity 5 weeks ago:
It came from the Labratory of The Mind, yes, the work was entirely metaphysical, but here’s the wierd part. They used that mental experimentation and applied it to real life action, and it worked. It’s like imagining you have a magic carpet for years then you stand on one and it starts flying. It began as imagination of the world around us, then when checked against reality. It works. Someone figured out that if something was passing around a sun. A planet, that it would dim the light at regular intervals. They checked, it did, that’s the only reason we know there’s planets outside our solar system. Someone checked the lumens of stars and found the data matched the theory. We use the color variations of stars in a similar way to detect more data. It’s quite remarkable. A recent discovery in gravity is that while gravity is a ‘‘constant’’, it actually fluctuates from place to place, I’m not sure if anyone figured out why yet, but if and when, how they find out, will be their imagining a reason, imagining how to check, checking in real life, and getting the data on if it’s right or not.
