@thewolvenhour Oh yeah, the Odyssey is such a hyper-realistic portrayal of life in 8th century Greece... With its cyclops, sirens, and sea monsters, the outfits in the movie are obviously just far too fantastical...
@TrojanMcJohnson @sheldontrading @ShitpostRock Because of an unhealthy relationship with a video game. Value requires something to be practically useful, its use to be de jure or de facto mandated, or it can come about from pure speculation (CS skins market, NFTs, etc.)
@TrojanMcJohnson @sheldontrading @ShitpostRock Central banks only have power as long as the government says so. Gabe's supply side decisions mean nothing if people don't view skins as valuable.
People ascribe value to Fiat currency because the government mandates its use as legal tender. People ascribe value to skins...
@TrojanMcJohnson @sheldontrading @ShitpostRock Fiat currency is backed up by a government that can make laws as it seems fit, use police, and military.
CS skins are backed up by children and childish adults wanting to seem cool and exclusive on the internet.
@_XePeR_@DAKKADAKKA1 The gang is anti-government and trenched in American existentialist thought. You're surprised such a gang being hunted by the government would have sympathies with the Native Americans in 1898?
@fareesh@beatmastermatt@Johanne69715410@mehdirhasan Couple that with the context of this being a victory rally for a far-right politician, Musk's outspoken support for AfD in Germany, and him growing up in a vehemently racist apartheid country.
Given that, between him being that stupid, or a fascist, I lean towards the latter.
@fareesh@beatmastermatt@Johanne69715410@mehdirhasan Elon Musk is a very educated, heavily media trained, individual. This being a miscommunication of "my heart goes out to you" sounds more like cover. If he was too stupid to realize what that gesture actually was then he shouldn't be anywhere near a govt. office.
@TheMichaelBeebe@gardengirl125 The party that thinks that pharmaceutical companies are injecting people with genetic altering microchips made by Bill Gates are now all "but who will think of the poor pharma companies? If drugs are affordable they won't be able to make record profit again next quarter. :("
@FezztheKulak@esjesjesj So you support replacing due process with summary executions. Sounds like a great world you and your buddies want to build there...
@Martyupnorth_2 @EMatwysn That paper is an accurate representation of the left/right political spectrum. if you feel so insulted by it when your politicians are living proof it's correct, I'd recommend introspection of your current political beliefs
@Martyupnorth_2 @EMatwysn Pt.2/ Or look at policy decisions. Conservatives are more likely to offer military solutions, believe that all hell breaks loose in the absence of a strong authority like the police, and believe in maintaining/returning to older and traditional systems/beliefs/institutions
@skullface_cmx @Paleonyx_Art "adds to the poison" lol I beg you to read The Jungle by Upton Sinclair. Just because a process is "natural" doesn't mean it's healthy. Just because a process is manmade doesn't make it unhealthy.
Your metabolism doesn't know how something is made, it only knows its composition.
@ChrisSliney @STEMthebleeding So if you were receiving surgery you'd view an law school grad as a better option than an physician who went to medical school and is board certified?
