It wouldn’t be the first time one guy shooting another guy triggers something massive. I mean, that’s how world war 1 started.

They have enough money to do the “inner lining?” “Tactical” thing for real.
- Comment on If billionaires and CEOs feel like they need to start paying for large security details, would that be an example of trickle down economics? 2 weeks ago:
Trickle down is more lying by omission. Wealth trickles down, but at the same time flows up through various means so it’s a net negative for the poor, thus concentrating wealth on the hands of the few.

It’s the difference between eating a Tic Tac, and just pouring the whole box in your mouth. Neither are good, but the second is definitely worse.

Ever seen girl math?
“If I preload my Starbucks account with $25 and I go to Starbucks the following week, my order was free.”
“Spending money abroad doesn’t count because it’s a different currency.”
Things aren’t mathing as they should.

In my mind, this is the only correct backdrop for that bowl.
- Comment on Anon is jealous 1 month ago:
It’s why taxes were invented. Nothing gives currency value as being beaten by not giving it back to the king’s men.
- Comment on US Elections question: Bernie Sanders said that the Democrats abandoned the working class, and the working class abandoned them. How is this true? 1 month ago:
That’s probably the perception. Democrats have been in power for 4 years, things didn’t get better for a lot of people and then they say to vote for them for more of the same. Surprisingly that doesn’t help with voter enthusiasm. They’ll have more chance next time with messaging things won’t get worse with them after Trump mishandled stuff.

Simple, good-sounding things they want to hear is what wins elections these days.

There are plenty other wacko ways people got themselves in the hospital if that’s your kink. The one with the girl that overdosed on gummies because she wanted spicy food was fun.

Sounds like a good time to rewatch the Tom Scott video about timezones and the descent into madness again

Those that keep shooting dogs whenever they go?

- Comment on This hair product remains effective up to 230 degrees C which is really handy because when I'm exposed to ovenlike temperatures, my first thought is "Oh no, my hair!" 1 month ago:
That’s when you hear yelling in a Scottish accent: “She can’t take any more if this.”

More fun, they have no butthole or a peehole. It’s a cloaca, what is basically the combination of both and what comes out of it is also the combination of both. Dinosaurs were built the same way.
- Comment on This picture goes hard. 1 month ago:
It’s the same kind of energy like the usual “the grant parents built the business, the parents expanded it and the children ran it into the ground”
Or even the theory of empires falling. The first generations establish the empire and make it wealthy, over the next generations people get greedy and decadent, infighting starts and the whole thing collapses. Some say this is happening right now to an empire in all but name.

My buddy wanted to see Bruce Almighty. He got Mighty Bruce. I guess the main character was also divine, in a certain way.

It’s not insane, just very classist

- Comment on Stress is relative 2 months ago:
That kind of stuff always reminds me of an episode from a show about rich people. They showed a rich mother organizing a birthday party for her toddler that was ridiculously fancy and having a complete meltdown because some napkins were another shade of pink. That’s the worst that life has ever given her, a different shade of napkins.
- Comment on Why does the media print rags to riches stories? 2 months ago:
It’s pretty common that angry revolutionaries are used by another rich bastard to get into power by usurping the movement. The classic “meet the new boss, same as the old boss.”

Soylent Green is a lie anyway. Your need to “soylentify” half they population to feed the other half every year if it would be there only source of calories.
- Comment on Tesla workers in Germany complain about home visits from their bosses 2 months ago:
How bad of a manager can you be to not understand this?
It’s a factory owned by Musk, so power tripping, being abusive and borderline illegal behavior is baked into the business model, probably including a furious Musk visiting from time to time to shout at management he wants results by tomorrow and does not want to hear any excuses. And that’s how shit flows downstream and pressure is put onto the line workers, and the good managers shut up and find another employer to work for.
- Comment on stacked 2 months ago:
The same thing with things like Stonehenge. I liked the theory that said these types of constructions are the result of the prehistoric version of Burning Man, where they built it just because they could as an art installation.
