People who not only don't get that 40k is supposed to be satirical, but vehemently deny it, genuinely concern me.

DOGE was always a very thinly disguised con to dress up data theft and extraction class destruction of federal corporate oversight as innovative, and it's important to remember that part of the reason it worked so well is that the press helped legitimize it
hey don't be so hard on yourselves; it delivered oceans of sensitive government and citizen data to billionaires

I randomly remembered in high school for French class I had to memorize a poem to recite for a test. I didn't much question it at the time, but now that I look back I gotta ask... Fucking why?

I don't remember anything about the poem. Not any of the lines, not the name, not what it was about...

When you're about to make a reply to someone's argument that can, in its entirety, accurately be dismissed with 'you know what I mean', consider instead doing the following:

You know, the Death Star is probably the most 'Nazi superweapon' thing ever. It's massive scale would make it a logistical nightmare, both in terms of construction and maintenance. Its only practical uses are terror and literal scorched earth. It's little more than a vanity project for high-ranking-

Oh, God, this is one of those "where do I even start" things, because Roblox is, like, *fractally* fucked. They are terrible at content moderation. A lot of the games are rated incorrectly, so kids can encounter graphic content (sex or violence) out of nowhere --

FFXIV players will flip out over a trans actress in a prominent role, but have no qualms calling a sentient piece of rock candy 'she/her' even long before learning she used to be a mortal woman.

Riches a funny word. It looks like it might be a non-countable noun.
Non-countable nouns are nouns that are not their own unit. 3 lumps of gold, instead of 3 golds; 5 breaths of air instead of 5 airs. It's also the difference between much (non-countable) and many (countable).

If you tax the rich who don't pay taxes then they'll move and then you won't be able to tax them for the money they aren't paying anyway.

If you ever want an example of why capitalism is bullshit, look no further than the housing crisis.

Like, are houses a rare commodity? Did the house crops fail and now there's a shortage? Are we experiencing a house famine?

No, some rich fucks keep buying them all up and inflating prices.

Every now and again I think of this case and get really fucking mad.

I was gonna say 'unreasonably' mad, but no. No I don't think that word applies here.

"Sometimes the curtains are just blue"

Okay but if you're describing the curtains without that meaning anything, either in terms of plot, themes, or emotions, then that sounds to me you're padding your word count for whatever reason.

"The problem with social media is that it becomes harder to talk about Israel without acknowledging their obscene, monstrous, and very much ongoing crimes against humanity."

I guess the lessons we should have learned from the holocaust is that holocaust is when people are mean to Jews? Apparently?
I'm struck by this clip of former Obama speechwriter Sarah Hurwitz saying Holocaust education has backfired in part because people Palestinians as victims: "They think the lesson of the Holocaust is…you fight the big powerful people hurting the weak people."
