@besttrousers @texasgermanbre If the tweet said “Americans are surprised by the benefit level Germans receive for up to 12 months” would that be a problem?

[Tyler online @tylerwrites]

@besttrousers @texasgermanbre For two months. Why did you pick the two month unemployment benefit when OP said “up to a year”

[Tyler online @tylerwrites]

@besttrousers @texasgermanbre Okay lol is this a distinction about what counts as brain-breaking? Why did you pick the 47% when the OP said for up to a year?

[Tyler online @tylerwrites]

@besttrousers @texasgermanbre Yes, but the phrase that was presented as breaking American brains was “In Germany, if you lose your job the government replaces 60% of income FOR A YEAR”. You left out the last part, which is the part that breaks Americans brains

@besttrousers @texasgermanbre Why focus on the 2-month time frame? Going to 6 months it goes down to 9% compared to Germany’s 60%

@kmedved @JeremiahDJohns @DKThomp Can you elaborate on what “technocratic” antitrust reform would look like as opposed to hipster version?

@tracewoodgrains @IleanaAlmog The caption itself is clearly the whistle here, and what has a direct connection to Nazi ‘blood and soil’ arguments. Better put here: https://t.co/aF01CoLacA

@nkulw -“without a hostage there is no ransom. That’s what ransom is. Those are the fucking rules”
-“his girlfriend gave up her toe. She thought we’d be getting a million dollars. It’s not fair!”
-“fair? who’s the fuckin nihilists around here you bunch of fucking crybabies”

@visakanv The smarmy and pushy one is only ‘lousy’ on the axis of “solving customers problems” because it’s easier to pretend to solve fake problems. A lot of them are not lousy at making money, just taking the rent-seeking path

@chillextremist I can’t wait to write my life story in the comments of “Airplanes - B.o.B feat. Hayley Williams”

@boss_on_here I’m from there too, I wrote a paper on this once, from umich study: “Historic exposures before 1980, including living in the Midland/Saginaw area, hunting and fishing in the contaminated areas, and working at Dow, contributed to serum dioxin levels”

Love seeing my home discussed, it even has its own song (I think from the 80’s) Thanks Dow Chemical https://t.co/ZI3h4HTPz6

Fish in the river near where I grew up are so full of polychlorinated biphenyls and dioxins that they're no longer safe for human consumption thanks to the DOW/Dupont chemical company

@cremieuxrecueil @unboxpolitics @kareem_carr “We” aren’t talking about anything. refusing to engage with his actual statement makes it seem like you don’t want to. If it helps you block me sooner, I have a statistics degree

@cremieuxrecueil @unboxpolitics @kareem_carr It’s like talking to a wall lmao they asked you if the logic resonates. “NOOOO YOU MUST TAKE THE STATEMENT LITERALLY” is the least rigorous way to refute someone I’ve ever seen

[Tyler online @tylerwrites]

@visakanv @sighswoon Good example of critics vs haters. Critics can articulate their disagreement with a statement like “it’s not climate change, it’s tweakers” and advocate for what they actually want without getting distracted

[Tyler online @tylerwrites]

@abiylfoyp @visakanv Oh boy I feel dumb for not knowing that, thanks for this!

@waitbutwhy Tim I would love for you to steelman the belief that “this rift over immigration” has been a productive argument
