Astonishing how many people agree with this considering I don't know what I meant when I said it.

Do you believe that neurotypical people don't care about other people? Not trying to gotcha you here, I'm just not following your reasoning.

"6 7" is a psyop to make it impossible to count to 10 without every 4th grader in the vicinity completely dysregulating.

Seeing Ms. Rachel say exactly what needs to be said to Obama is so damn refreshing

Dear President Obama,
I saw in your statement you said "Israeli families" & "the people of Gaza."
Palestinians have families, too.
This kind of language contributes to dehumanization. Dehumanization is part of what caused so many to stay silent as 20,000 children were killed in this genocide.
I've sat with wonderful Palestinian families from Gaza. They look at their children just like we look at ours - with all the love & hope in the world.
Love,
Ms Rachel

One of the smartest things Costco does is assigning every shopper a “Costco Enemy,”who stays in front of them putting carts in stupid places and blocking the aisle and going really slowly. This gives the shopper 30% more browsing time and creates a memorable, provocative experience

they think congestion pricing hurts the poor who drive and free buses help the wealthy who ride. i just can’t wrap my head around it.

You can tell Cuomo's campaign has cooked its brain on Twitter because it's repeating nonsense talking points from people like Andrew Fine and Reza who claim only rich people use transit.

As of 2017, bus riders in NYC earn an average salary of $28K, well under subway riders ($40K).

Because the budget impact of a billionaire tax is actually pretty modest and the real money for social democracy comes from a broad tax base. You have to tax the billionaires anyway tho because their wealth-gained political power is incompatible with democracy. Read the article!

Billionaire money isn't how Scandanavia funds its social democracy. Nordic social democracy uses a broad tax base.

The real reason to tax billionaires out of existence is to cut them off from power. Their cash is not *trivial*, but not load-bearing, for national budgeting.

The political power that billionaires have because of their wealth is orders of magnitude more damaging than [not capturing their wealth as taxes] is. A 100% tax on billionaires won't actually solve welfare but it's worth doing anyway in order to preserve democracy.

“The problem with billionaires isn’t that they’re hoarding money that would otherwise pay for a Scandinavian social utopia. It’s that their money has become a source of wildly distorted political power that allows a few men with extremist views to wreak havoc on the rest of us.”

Billionaires Are Hoarding Power, Not Money

Do you think the matrix has programmer art. Like in the real world raccoons look more realistic and dignified but matrix raccoons are kind of simple and doofy like Minecraft mobs

"DEI consultants" are a classic example of Genre Media Demiurge - a constructed enemy, responsible for everything wrong and corrupted about the work but not responsible for anything you enjoyed.

So does this person really think indie devs are hiring DEI consultants specifically to put women into games?

classic mistake when designing a self destruct sequence for your secret base is making it so that the base starts spontaneously disintegrating *before* the countdown ends. buddy the whole point of the countdown is so your henchmen have time to get to their cars. why are the girders melting
