I'm a fish of many colors

@JohnPapola Foundational assumption: capital creates invention.

Wrong.

People being freed from struggling to survive all the time leads to invention.

You're selling a lie from wealthy people who want to hoard what they have and take what you have.

[Sea Dawg @NotASeaDawg]

@Leophilius I define "corn" as a small blue fruit that makes delicious pie filling.

But that's not important right now

[Sea Dawg @NotASeaDawg]

@JamesSurowiecki No, they're both terrible. Ruffalo just picked the right industry

[Lydia Scribe @LydiaScribe]

@esjesjesj On the other hand, at the time the Odyssey was a goulash of several different time periods already; a couple of anachronisms would be on-theme, really.

(Although that makes me wanna see the Odyssey get a Knight's Tale/Baz Luhrman (sp?) adaptation and go full modern.)

@spencer_askew Wouldn't it be mycenaean culture?

[Sea Dawg @NotASeaDawg]

@petersavodnik Yeah! It's really bad that Ana Kasparian killed Lindsay Grahm. That's why the things you're saying right now are relevant and coherent.

@datnofact My outside pressure to stop gaming is vision problems. My motion sickness seems to get worse every year

@JamesSurowiecki I'm just sitting here looking for Tenet

@skumWgmi I have been thinking about this for a while.

You can tax wealth, but only if there aren't rich people buying influence to convince everyone that's impossible for "reasons"

[Sea Dawg @NotASeaDawg]

@kanbar @skumWgmi @eauman123 ???

I didn't realize it was inscribed in the constitution that schools, police etc have to be paid for with a tax on real property, specifically.

Money is fungible.

[Sea Dawg @NotASeaDawg]

@JayExci I think that's in the definition.

I grill things, but i don't think about it much beyond trying not to burn the food into inedibility. I think that's precisely the reason that you could say grilling is not a hobby of mine

[Sea Dawg @NotASeaDawg]

@artwithinpod The answer is that young adults talk to each other the most. So word of mouth is most effective

[Sea Dawg @NotASeaDawg]

@jakenews4 @lastchalice @sw_holocron They're all awful

[Sea Dawg @NotASeaDawg]

He had no principles, and loved war.

No wonder you liked him

[Ben Shapiro @benshapiro]

All the worst people you know agree on one thing.

The far Left, the groyper Right, and Iranian state television are all celebrating the death of Lindsey Graham. Same posts. Same glee. The horseshoe has become a wedding ring.

Lindsey Graham spent 33 years in uniform, half a century in public service, and his last 48 hours on earth in Kyiv standing up for the free world. His enemies spent the day proving exactly why he fought them.

RIP.

@UgoCannon It's less important to know if a god exists, and much more important to know why i should care.

I've never seen any evidence that they have any effect on the world or anything in it

[Sea Dawg @NotASeaDawg]

@JayExci Some people's fixation with trying to rewrite history and imply JK didn't do something special seems irrational to me.

If I can acknowledge that something hit with people and it wasn't all luck it's easier to move past that noise and focus on real conversations

[Nick @BigBicNick]

All the old heads told me growing up that I would get more conservative as I got older and I went from thinking republicans were just buffoons who did stupid things but ultimately meant well to thinking they’re actually evil and are willing to do literally anything for power

[Sea Dawg @NotASeaDawg]

@JayExci My brain is too old to understand this comment

[Sea Dawg @NotASeaDawg]

@_SonOfJorEl_ @CalledPal @ChrisRGun It's always funny to see someone pretending that gender has magical qualities and that the god of masculinity will smite those who reject him.

You would think an almighty being would have something better to do...
