No amount of Tom Sawyer and the picket fence reverse psychology can distract from the fact that all the people who said “learn to code” for 15 years are now saying “pick crops” without missing a beat, which is why Gen Z has had a what, 40-50 point swing in 9 months?

Prostitution is physically healthier than working in a coal mine or some factory jobs

Labor will just be replaced with robotics, anyway

It’s all a lie

My ancestors worked in factories so my parents could go to law school.
“Humans can just go get manual labor jobs if desk jobs are repaired with AI” is both not going to suffice to provide enough jobs and is also going to result in massive societal anger because manual labor jobs often *are terrible*, which is why people have worked hard to avoid them for generations.
Even if society provided the food/shelter level needs for everyone, humans also need to perform useful work just for basic fulfillment. The vast majority of people cannot sit around all day letting AI and robots do everything.

(The definition of “useful work” here is malleable but still essential)

The only degree of wealth concentration that the ultra-rich/powerful can aspire to anymore is so insane that it requires the impoverishment of the rest of humanity to achieve. That's why Trump et al adore the 1890s - not out of ideology, but that's the last time wealth inequality was that bad.
amazing how the Silicon Valley sales pitch suddenly became “we’re bringing about a bright future where everyone but the ultra-rich will be forced to return to the fields”

and they genuinely don’t seem to believe this could eventually end poorly for them

Be careful what you wish for.

The downside of a trick or treating w a two year old is it takes like two hours to go two blocks. The upside is they can’t count so you can steal most of their candy.

If your newspaper is giving Donald Trump softer headlines and gauzier coverage than People Magazine, that should be a bit of a wake up call.

Goodwin says "it takes more than a piece of paper" or birthplace to make somebody British.

This is not often applied to Fred West/Ian Huntley, Kim Philpy, etc

So how it is applied to British-born people from the majority + minority groups who commit crimes + who don't is rarely/never made clear

Patel lies.
He lies about everything while he's protecting a pedophile and going to UFC on our dime.
FBI? More like STFU. He's a bad actor. Go write on some more bullets, Kash and leave us the fuck alone.
I second that emotion.
Fuck all these legacy media assholes putting on fucking liars like Mike Johnson and letting him lie like fuck to our faces. The fourth estate is way more like the fucking fourth goddamn reich & helping Republicans turn us into a piece of shit like Republicans favorite dictatorship in Russia

The President of the United States is so upset about his failed campaign for a Nobel Prize that he's now trying to claim someone else's prize as his own.

Pathetic.
