seriously incredible that they are clearly testing for dementia, and no one around him is brave enough to tell him. but since he can’t help but gloat publicly about everything he keeps revealing it to the world
Capitalism is the problem.
Let me show you.
They won't build houses, because that's bad for rental income.
They won't build renewable energy, because that is bad for fossil fuel profits.
They won't provide Universal Healthcare, because Private Healthcare is so profitable.
Why is it that actual human jobs like baker, florist, teacher, and childcare worker barely pay a livable wage, while fake jobs like AI specialist bootlicker, marketing campaign parasite, and synergy consultant are pulling six figures?

Girls will suffer unearthly tragedies and actually still run errands the same day with a smile on their face but if a man's parents divorce when he is 12 he will unleash his wraťh on the world for the rest of his life
That bag has a name. It's a bindle. And in the 1930s, about 250,000 American teenagers actually packed one and walked out the door to ride freight trains, looking for work after the crash wiped out their families' savings.
They were called boxcar boys and girls. Many were just 16 or 17. They left because there was no food at home, or because they didn't want to be another mouth their parents couldn't feed. One boy left home with the 72 cents his mother pulled from her purse, the last of her money. About 4 million Americans were on the road in those years.
The cartoon image we know traces back to two artists. Charlie Chaplin's Tramp character, the little guy in baggy pants with a stick, debuted in 1914. He became a global icon. Walt Disney later said Chaplin was one of the inspirations for Mickey Mouse. Then in 1958, Norman Rockwell painted a runaway boy carrying a bindle for the Saturday Evening Post cover. That picture is the one that stuck in our heads.
The actual life behind the bag was hard. People who lived it called themselves hobos, and they were strict about the word. A hobo was a worker who traveled. A tramp only worked when he had to. A bum didn't work at all. Hobos hated being mixed up with the other two.
They followed the harvests. Strawberries in spring, hops in summer, apples in fall, potatoes in winter. Pay was a few dollars a day, sometimes less.
Riding freight trains was illegal and could kill you. Railroad police, who they called bulls, beat them off the cars. You could slip and get crushed between cars. Or freeze to death sleeping in a boxcar in winter. A British poet named W.H. Davies, who wrote a memoir called The Autobiography of a Super-Tramp, lost his foot trying to jump onto a moving train.
So they built their own world. Their camps near rail yards were called jungles. They shared a stew called Mulligan, where everyone threw in a potato, or a piece of meat, or whatever they had. They left messages for each other on water tanks: a nickname, a date, and the direction they were heading, so the next person passing through could see who had been there. They had a phrase for someone who died on the road. He caught the Westbound.
In 1900, a town in Iowa called Britt, with about 2,000 people, decided to host them. Every August since, hobos and rail riders show up to crown a Hobo King and Queen, with crowns made from coffee cans. The convention is still running. There's a Hobo Memorial Cemetery in Britt for the ones who caught the Westbound.
The cartoon turned it into a childhood dream. For a quarter-million American kids in the 1930s, it was just the bag you grabbed before walking out the door.
fuck this.
if the palestinian delegate complies, he validates his oppressor for the comfort of the room. if the palestinian delegate (rightly) refuses, he’s framed as the reason for tension (the tension exists because apartheid israel’s genocide of palestinians).
i love seeing haikyuu fans being annoying as fuck when other fandoms are fighting because yes, it IS a perfect series. furudate you will ALWAYS be the goat.
once, on a first date, i ended up taking a girl to the er. she had endo. she had a decade of paperwork. she told me to pretend to be her fiancée bc the doctors would not listen to her but they *might* listen to me if i described the pain i’ve seen her in.
she was right.
If a hospital ever tells you that you must use insurance they are in violation of the HITECH act. All you have to do is tell them you do not want your health information shared with your insurance company. A lot of hospitals tell this lie to increase revenue but they are breaking the law.
the fact the US used the full force of the federal government to eliminate the Black Panthers while the KKK is still running around tells you a lot about this country
Sex robots are going to be a perfect litmus test for emotionally underdeveloped men because any man who sees a sex robot as a “replacement” for women is telling on himself.
He is admitting that what he wanted from women was never really a woman. It was simply access to sex without any type of responsibility towards another human.
They basically admit that they cannot become the kind of man a real woman would actually want to choose, and they know it (probably while rationalizing that women are the problem), so they avoid that situation entirely.
That is great information.
It tells you everything you need to know about their views on women and relationships.
His dream relationship is one where he gets sex, silence, obedience, and zero expectation of growth. He was never prepared for a real relationship with a woman.
It’s really annoying that we realize children need a summer break and several vacations a year because they attend school, but we think it makes sense for adults to work 40 hours a week all year and probably get 2–3 weeks off in a whole year if you’re lucky.
