Our concept of evil has changed overtime. In Dantes Inferno the people at the bottom of hell aren’t the people who killed the most, it’s the people who are most famous for betraying others. One of them is there because he stabbed the Hitler of his era in the back to protect democracy.

I had to live with my dad until I was 24 and found the experience excruciating. Can’t imagine making it to 38
- Comment on Anon doesn't have a plan 1 day ago:
Yeah, these are all things his parents had a duty and obligation to teach him and they failed.
I’m seeing it more and more. Parenting is hard so people don’t even attempt it.

- Comment on Housing prices 1 week ago:
People point to these two things because they want an easy solution and don’t want to adjust their own behaviors.
If you deleted every data center and banned private equity in real-estate we’d still be in the exact same position.
- Comment on Housing prices 1 week ago:
The decomodification is housing is extremely important, but individuals also have to adjust their expectations of what a good and fulfilling life for themselves will look like.
We’re all going to need to become enthusiastic advocates for high density living spaces.
- Comment on Housing prices 1 week ago:
Housing is an investment, so the supply of housing is artificially constrained to ensure investments stay green.
For the boomers, the house they bought was an equity vehicle designed to keep them out of poverty in their old age.
There’s also the issue of you, reading this this comment, who doesn’t want a condo or townhouse but a very specific home with a driveway, lawn, and backyard with lots of privacy. The most costly property to provide services and infrastructure for and is crippling every city’s finances for the past 50 years of white flight.
The private corporations buying homes are basically a rounding error. Human desire at scale is what’s doing this to us. Everyone wants a life sold to them as ‘normal’ by Madison Avenue executives in the 50s.
While we’re here, it’s also not data centers killing the planet - it’s billions of people who want to eat beef every day.

Hmm, any idea why your body works that way?
- Comment on Anon overdoes it 2 weeks ago:
Semen is stored in the prostate, not the balls just fyi.
Do I think this person got so good at jerking it that he burned out his sexual functioning, or do I think this guy just aged out of puberty and his bad diet and lifestyle crashed his testosterone?
- Comment on Establishment Democrats think they know who is "electable". These are the same guys that saw this in 2016 and said yeah we want Hillary. 3 weeks ago:
We’re just out voting the black voters, not flipping them.
If we want nation wide progressive success and a 2028 progressive presidential nominee then something will have to change.

The thing is, and we’ve seen this in 2020 and in the recent LA and NYC mayoral, and cali gubernatorial elections, is that black dem voters prefer the establishment option over the progressive one.
Any progressive movement needs to do a lot better job of outreach than they’ve been doing for the last 10 years.

In the 70s my grandfather owned a muffler company and they’d all go to lunch at 11 till 3 and get good a drunk. Every day.

These guys see a bad economy as desirable. They want 10% unemployment and 0% interest rates.

I agree that works for stuff like ‘don’t litter’. But recycling at scale is literally impossible and they knew this when they pushed plastics on us.

Trump’s also lazy. He’s casually racist, a casual rapist pedophile. True commitment is much more frightening.

- Comment on What hot af take do you have that you think you will be HORRIBLY executed and shunned from society for? 2 months ago:
Oh I have a good one for this
I am an introverted loner who enjoys time spent solitary.
But I do have a social life, date, work. So I am aware that there are other people who spend every day doing something social with others and get frustrated if they have to spend any amount of time by themselves just in their own company.
I believe(d) that time spent alone with yourself and your thoughts is psychologically healthy, helps you figure out who you really are and lets you sort out your beliefs and desires.
So I thought society should change in such a way that there was a mandatory month out of every year where we all spent the entire time locked away in our homes getting essentials delivered.
Now imagine my surprise in 2020 when I actually got what I wanted and it drove a significant chunk of the population absolutely insane.

What else could possibly be happening? You guys are talking about these like they’re subsidies.
- Comment on Data centers get tax breaks. Not you though. 2 months ago:
Exactly, thus the tax exemption to change that behavior. Foregoing tax revenue you were never going to get to help local businesses.
- Comment on How tf do people who work 8-5 M-F get any life done? 2 months ago:
You earn the ability to take take time off that you need for personal stuff after you’ve proved yourself to the employer. When you’re young they expect you to forgo that doctor stuff
- Comment on Data centers get tax breaks. Not you though. 2 months ago:
Yea but it helps make sure the purchasing of said equipment goes to local suppliers. If they buy from out of state there is no revenue anyways, at least this benifits the local economy.
- Comment on Data centers get tax breaks. Not you though. 2 months ago:
State government foregoing potential tax revenue to guarantee the purchasing of equipment from in-state suppliers. There is a logic to it.
