@Samuel_Gregson@AlCabbage045 Why are there zero good takes on climate change from science popularizers? If itโs not stuff like this or outright denial, itโs superficial and moralizing and politicized.
@Trey_Explainer lol this is the stuff I miss from when I lived in a huge megacity. You just donโt run into these problems in a regular big city very often!
@adastroworld@ShadowyZephyr That doesnโt make sense. Why would they do that and how would it make them better off and why would a competitor not be able to beat them by refusing to also do that?
@ShadowyZephyr@adastroworld I donโt think they know what โreturn on capitalโ means. Theyโre just saying that itโs literally possible for them to write any number down as a sale price. This is a super common misunderstanding of supply and demand that a lot of people have.
@LinkofSunshine Politicians, both R and D, will prefer to use the expanded executive power to their own ends rather than giving it up. Thatโs how we got into the position where this could happen in the first place.
And they will be hesitant to prosecute anyone for fear of setting precedent.
@LinkofSunshine I mean, he was never competent enough to lead a coup or anything. And changes like that would be too disruptive for him and his cronies anyway, they benefit too much from how society is structured.
The real danger is subsequent administrations will not roll back any of this.
@BatFamNerd Gabe being fantastically rich from Microsoft has probably helped so much with this stuff. Much harder to be a sellout when you are too expensive to be bought.
This comic has been printed out and on the wall of coin center's office since Jerry put it there in 2014. It is one of our guiding stars and rarely serves us wrong. Of course the csam allegations against graphine os guy were bs.
@bcubeddd Yeah, the way they speak and reason is nearly identical.
I can't quite articulate the specific thing they're doing, but I see a lot of that kind of thinking in all kinds of different places.
@glukianoff It's always the worst cases they pick to quote.
They'll be like "liberty requires us to work together" and you'll look it up and it's from the dissent of a 1974 Supreme Court case arguing eating babies can't be prohibited by state laws because the commerce clause preempts it.
@atlanticesque Happens to me all the time too, and it is definitely more frequent than usual. They must've stolen the YouTube recommendation algorithm or something.
@NicholasD91704 I give people credit for that.
Life is hard. Making good decisions is hard. And making good decisions when life is hard can seem intractable.
