I hope that you have a nice day. And that we all don't die. But mostly the first thing.

Not even socialism. This is full on state-run economy Leninism.

...I mean, I can definitely read. I just have no fucking idea what any of those terms mean.

Me, saying goodbye to my kids in the morning: "Bye, I love you. You be kind to your sister, you be kind to your brother....(as they ride their bikes away) And wreak vengeance on your enemies!"

Thanks. But ...I mean, y'all literally do HAVE a king...

This was 2001. I still will not go back to an IHOP. The Original Pancake House for life mother fuckers!

When I was 18, the day I walked across the stage to graduate high school. My choice, the parents took me to IHOP, because I fucking love pancakes, and IHOP gives me the warm fuzzies.

They refused to serve me the smiley pancake, because "it is for children". YOU ARE THEIVES OF JOY, IHOP!!

I mean...isn't it though?

Because in the specific case of Elon (and Thiel), it is (caveat: "a" mot "the" driver).

My only suggestion is doubling down on caffeine today, to help you push through the tiredness. Will that help? Oh lord no! But it will make a small problem right now a much larger problem for FUTURE you, and as I always say "fuck future me".

Millenial men grew up thinking we wanted to be Brad Putt or Johnny Depp, when now we all realize that this is the peak male we all were raised with and aspire to be

I am a dude in my 40's. Every 6 months or so, when my running shoes are no longer suited for running they become my walking around shoes. And my walking around shoes become my doing the lawn shoes. I haven't been fashionable since the 2000's, and then only because I was a punk and that was "cool"

Capitalism works best when it's heavily restrained and it's purest id is regulated into oblivion. Libertarianism is a hellscape.

But this is basically true of most ways we have found to organize an economy. Curbing their excesses is, I fear, the best anyone can hope for. And sometimes even works!

He won a Tony acting (singing, dancing, etc.) opposite Katherine fucking Hepburn, which is like all time king shit.

Every single human society that has ever existed, every organization that has achieved any size, every government, economy, or hell every home owners association, all of it...has been evil.

We can't create a group without dividing people, that is what groups are. We can always just do our best.

Yes. The additional taxes people pay currently. And perhaps even giving people with children even more tax credits, making the gap GREATER.
pandasophist.bsky.social
It is both functionally and literally no different.

Childless people (including the person who posted this originally) pay more in taxes than people with children. And almost everyone is fine with it. That is what he is saying. He is happy to pay more (i.e. additional) in taxes.
pandasophist.bsky.social
Yes. The additional tax that is already paid by all the people who do not get the Child Tax Credit. Childless people CURRNTLY pay more in taxes than I do on the same income. That is already happening, and almost no one bats an eye. OP explicitly said (and double tapped) that he is fine with that.

It was a joke. He was saying Putin is so corrupt and does this so much he gets discounts on volume. Like a car wash punch card, but it is for currency washing.

I like how Google's AI is too stupid to classify this as an animal, and only lists it as "food"

Ot defending this, but chaining two pairs of cuffs like that will actually have the opposite effect than you said. It releaves pressure, instead of making them pull her shoulders further back like you said. It is done for either very large individuals, or older people who may mobility issues.

The insane part about this stupid story is that nominations for this year's award closed in fucking January.
