Right now*
We’ve almost caused, and now will forever have the capacity to cause, a mass extinction event with nuclear bombs. If the cold war had turned hot we probably wouldn’t be saying how good we have it in the industrial age compared to the agrarian age.
There’s also the more slow motion extinction event in the form of climate change.
But yes for those living in the west from 1950 ~ 2150 it’s a good deal

Micheal, pretty sure I’ve given a few dyslexic people a real hard time when I put that in the email field and the correct spelling in the first name field.

A college education is increasingly becoming the political dividing line in the US so the right is trying to degrade trust in the university and education in general.

Social security insolvency is a myth perpetuated by the rich. Social security is sustainable if we just raise the cap so income over ~200k gets taxed as well. The rich want to make it seem like this isn’t an option and that social security going bankrupt is inevitable and the people just need to accept that and move on.
Don’t accept the myth, only accept what your owed.

I’m a communist and don’t want to break my back using a sickle to harvest crops, but also no one does except people watching trad content and romanticizing it. This is why we’ve automated most of the hard manual labor in developed countries.
We really need to update the symbol, besides all the baggage with the USSR it’s just out of date. Maybe on 1920s Russia most people were working with a hammer and sickle, and a lot of people still do to this day in less developed countries, but the meme is right, you ask your average Gen z in the developed world what the symbol means they’ll shrug and say idk.

She did date the mayor of San Francisco early in her career, which is how she got her start. After that it was all her though. Her pussy was good enough to get her a DA appointment, which I’m sure many men have gotten for less valid reasons, not turn that DA appointment into a Senate or VP position.

When people first encounter horses on the steppes, their hunting dogs were alongside them.
Depends on what you mean by people, homo erectus left africa and probably encountered and hunted horses long before we domesticated dogs. Same with neanderthals and other close relatives of humans. They definitely would’ve been by our side when we first started domesticating them though.

Maybe the solution is some Spotify like service for journalism. Ie. Pay $20 a month and get access to most papers, and the revenue is split by view count. Even better would be making it a tax so since everyone is paying there’s no need for login.

The coffee thing shows either a contrarian attitude or a naive one. Im tempted to say, go do a bump of coke and tell me thats a similar animal. Its not.
I have done coke a couple times, and idk if it was just bad coke or didn’t take enough but I felt it was overrated. Didn’t mix it with alcohol though which apparently enhances the effects but would say it’s on a similar level to a high dose of caffeine. Like a bump of coke I would put on the same level as an energy drink. Maybe a line would make me think differently but I’ve only ever done bumps/keys.

How do you separate that definition of addiction from psycological medication usage. Like someone with depression could feel the need to alter there state of being everyday with SSRIs, are they an addict? Same with someone with an anxiety disorder who takes Xanax.
Addiction, in my view, requires continued use despite negative consequences, otherwise it’s just dependence. If you’re dependent on something that is neutral to or helping you live a good life, however you want to define that, then that dependence isn’t a bad thing. This applies to people’s relationships to both substances and other people.
