@Rob_2429@hackinarticles lmao that was unironically the story; company had a bounty program, guy submitted a bounty and they just ignored him, I think because it might have been too expensive to fix (late stage capitalism shit yk) and so he waited a while and then publicly released the info.
@tinfoilCat69@Jackdagamer6446@historyinmemes who says it was magic? maybe the stone was softer then, or the dude was hella strong, there's all kinds of rational explanations that don't require you to assume everything interesting is bullshit
@Brian_Kennedy@ZohranKMamdani Yeah because the current administration is firing people for being openly lgbt, saying that they're 'obviously' DEI hires.
@BasedMikeLee This might blow your mind but uh. Politicians are really fuckin dumb. Like, all of them. They don't know a damn thing. All they know is how to talk a good game, organize people, and regurgitate info. This is not some kind of gotcha.
@EJBinIndy@gullyvuhr@notcapnamerica Hey man, genuinely curious, what would it take for me to change your mind? Would a republican senator saying that it's going to cut tons of people change your mind?
@mctheehottie@ZeroWithShoes@VhektorH@gullyvuhr@notcapnamerica Just posting this for you too, so he actually sees it:
The growth rates in those "draining" groups was much higher than for the white groups. That's the cost and benefit of generational wealth. Dude is calling my race dumb but doesn't know his own country's history.
@ZeroWithShoes@inusswetrust@gullyvuhr@notcapnamerica What I mean is--if there are ten white people for every black person, and five of those white people are on govt assistance, you can't say the black people are the ones draining the system, even if EVERY black person was. That wouldn't make sense.
@ZeroWithShoes@inusswetrust@gullyvuhr@notcapnamerica Okay so what you're trying to say is that on average, black folks drain the country. Right? They make things worse. But if that was to be the case, you would NOT use a "per capita" measurement. You'd use a direct one. They're called a minority for a reason.
@gullyvuhr@notcapnamerica I had an argument with a friend about welfare, and he told me, verbatim: "I have been on foodstamps! I have had to live on the couches of friends and family! No one ever helped ME!"
