Hit the pharmacy, delete the gym, cowboy up.

They have a higher velocity, you know.

If you’re a fan of the first amendment, don’t forget the other ones.

Technically destruction is change.

Whenever I’m struggling with the fact that everything is bullshit, I try to remind myself that there isn’t that much stopping me from living my own life as if I was already living after the revolution, or in utopia, or after the apocalypse, or whatever you want to call it or think it might be. Ultimately, I want to hang out with my dogs, garden, hike, cook, listen to and play music, hang out with friends, run rivers, ski, etc. etc. All achievable now, mostly. Do I also have to do bullshit I don’t want to? Sure. Are a lot of other people living in a crappy way and doing stupid and destructive bullshit? Definitely. But for the most part, if you just do what you can and try to live your life as if you already won the war, it’s pretty ok.

Selective reasoning, mostly BS. If the COL goes up by 1% so does the productivity, and per worker productivity has been higher then wages in my country since the 70s. If you want to play a game of “the immigrants aren’t skilled or productive” I challenge you to work on a framing crew for one single day in Phoenix AZ. I see now looking at your user name that you’re in Germany- I acknowledge that the context is different there, however I’d be curious to see if the same logic holds true- I’d imagine it does albeit on a longer timescale, since your trades have an actual certification and training process even for lower echelons of workers. I would argue that immigration in general does not harm people, and that it is a grade-school logical fallacy unworthy of serious discussion to say that “if it were true, you could prove it easily.”

Childish Gambino? Yasiin Bey? Kendrick? Killer Mike? Hip hop alone has never stopped being critical of the machine… You must be living with your head under a rock or in headphones that only play top 40 or something. There is an absolute wealth of music that takes on the various hierarchies that dominate our world…

Edit: Doechii, ffs… Gorillaz… I could go on.

Exactly. Not objectively good, not fitter, just fit enough to reproduce under the circumstances, whatever they might randomly be in any given place at any given time.

This is likely, and also because an unhinged unpredictable leader is more of a threat in the calculus of near-peer armed conflict flirting with nuclear MAD red lines. He’s a perfect scapegoat for so many things that the powers that be want. In the context of climate change driven instability and political shifts, he’s actually quite logical. The idea that two nations with McDonald’s have never been in a hot war (Ukraine may have invalidated that but the idea is still relevant) means that to enable hot wars at scale it is first most important to decouple large industrial economies and re-silo the globalized economy into first/third/second world such that MIC supply chains can exist without being interrupted by peer adversaries.

Because it was ILLEGAL to use for official comms, not because it was insecure… It’s illegal because it makes the mandatory record keeping impossible. Because it works so well.

More like 150-300 if possible at all.

Hope nobody likes wheat or corn.

I’ll take “things that will cripple the economy” for 800.

We could have had this.

Swamp the drain.
