I always upvote cats. I double upvoted this.
- Comment on How was the US national debt created? Does the US have problem paying it's bills? Who are we in debt to? 1 week ago:
Well one could argue that the US started the debt for good reasons. But yes, right now, the debt is bad because it’s funding genocide, supporting child torture, and enriching pedophiles.
- Comment on How was the US national debt created? Does the US have problem paying it's bills? Who are we in debt to? 1 week ago:
The short version is that debt isn’t always bad.
A lot of things make money into more money, whether it’s a market investment, a business, or even a lucky gamble. They can fluctuate, but the ones that stick around typically return a reliable percentage.
A debt is generally money that you get to have and use, but probably have to pay interest on.
If you have a reliable way to turn money into more money at a specific rate and that rate is higher than the interest rate on your debt, then that debt is a wise decision to take on.
- Comment on Do jobs still do "shadowing" to learn the skills before you apply like welding or carpentry or computers? Or is it too much of a hassle for the person you are "shadowing" along with the company? 3 weeks ago:
I can’t speak for all jobs, but shadowing is an effective tool and I’d be shocked if it isn’t pretty commonly applied. Not always in an apprenticeship sort of way to learn from scratch, but certainly to better understand the nuances of a role.

Add VR support and you can hook this straight to my veins.
- Comment on To engage the Lament Configuration, you have to delicately circle your finger around the areola, which is also how I engage your mother (true story) 4 weeks ago:
Yeah if it was $60-70 then I’d be hesitant but at $40 it’s like two tickets to a movie. And it’s certainly better than a lot of Hellraiser movies. The visualization of the Labyrinth is stunning.

And the new game. Mechanics are okay but the aesthetics and styling are on point. Plus, Doug Bradley!

I see you’re not familiar with Hellraiser. It’s gonna be more like “flayed tiddies dangling from the ceiling on metal hooks”. Sorry to burst your bubble.

I love you for posting this. It’s one of my favorite things ever. Also great: m.youtube.com/watch?v=3fHl9bxVT58
- Comment on Why is everyone freaking out about the Paramount WB merger or something? Doesn't that mean we can have all shows and movies on one platform? Isn't that a good thing? 4 weeks ago:
Monopolies are bad for the consumer but I’m stunned at how few people have mentioned that a huge media conglomerate with news (CNN) and movie studios all being owned by fascist bootlickers is goddamn terrifying.
- Comment on Do dogs actually like having their belly rubbed or do they just know we really like to rub their bellies? 5 weeks ago:
My dog does the stare when her belly is being rubbed, but she will writhe and paw at you obsessively to get your hand down to her belly in the first place regardless of whether rubbing her tummy for fifteen minutes straight was part of your daily plan or not.

Cut back on fiber.

I mean this is actually a pretty solid shitpost. Are people actually taking the bait?

Honestly in this day and age I expected it to be the torment nexus tweet.

I’m sure the “are you a teen?” enforcement is really gonna hammer that nail in, too.
- Comment on When I was younger my father taught me how to box. Using my fists. How come in movies or tv shows it's all about hitting with the elbow now? How does one train to hit with your elbow? 2 months ago:

They knew what they were doing enough that they didn’t send that email in Germany, then their “apology” was weak and dodgy. I don’t feel good buying from them anymore either.
- Comment on Why do so many people regardless of whether their reasonings are justified or not pinpoint South Park for ruining a generation of millenials? 2 months ago:
That’s a very fair point. But even that level of “nuance” I think can be lost on an audience of many millions in a generation where a large proportion of kids make it to college without ever having read an entire adult-level book cover to cover.
- Comment on Why do so many people regardless of whether their reasonings are justified or not pinpoint South Park for ruining a generation of millenials? 2 months ago:
This is exactly why I had to stop watching It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. It’s brilliantly written satire most of the time, but I know people are getting the wrong ideas from it and laughing at truly despicable behavior that they’re going to emulate first for ironic humor, then eventually just because it’s hedonistically rewarding.
- Comment on "Digital Signatures" just ask you to type your name into a box now. Am I right in thinking this almost-completely defeats the purpose of a signature? 2 months ago:
Except that you can draw whatever you want and it can be different each time in theory. Some may enforce consistency, but there’s no legal requirement of it.
- Comment on "Digital Signatures" just ask you to type your name into a box now. Am I right in thinking this almost-completely defeats the purpose of a signature? 2 months ago:
I was at a grocery store back when you had to sign the little digital screen for a card transaction and I finished signing, but the cashier got distracted and didn’t accept the signature for a while, so I just doodled Godzilla taking a skyscraper next to my name.
My best friend was there with me and from that day forward, I’m not sure if he’s ever signed something without adding a Batman logo after that day.
- Comment on is there any language that doesn't have four basic directions? 2 months ago:
Pretty much this, if I remember correctly. Because of this linguistic feature, they have an exceptionally well-developed sense of absolute direction and basically know at all times which way is which.
Bob fell out of the boat. Which side? The south side. Turn the boat 90° clockwise. He’s still off the south side of the boat.

Strangely I think this might have been altered to change the dog for some reason. I have an ancient version of this from eight years ago and I think in the one posted, the dog looks higher resolution than the rest.

IIRC, the shape of the jib sail indicated the origin of a sailing vessel, so it could show a friendly ship from a distance.

- Comment on Modern Monetary Theory: Musk Edition 3 months ago:
The only way this makes sense, and I guarantee he’s not advocating for this, would be to print and distribute so much money to the lower and middle classes that the upper class wealth is diluted and inequality is reduced. But the havoc that would wreak outside of the US is something I can’t even speculate on.
