@SeanBellring @CartoonsHateHer @GambelerQuail Someone should tell her that you can make a salmon sandwich if you want
English
@CartoonsHateHer @GambelerQuail it does get better because you did not include how the very first thing Ms Everyone Should Have A Ferrari said was “This is… very privileged” about the idea of making her own sandwich. She went from that to “everyone needs Ferrari wages”. 100% lunatic.

Pack up the DoorDash discourse, it doesn't get better.

@michalmalewicz @edzitron The cheesy animated gif era never made lawyers cite hallucinated case law or scientists cite hallucinated studies
English
@edzitron It actually kinda is, AI only averages it. Slop existed before AI, on the web it was the 3d-gifs and 3d-clay-white characters in headers, then isometric vector illustration that made no sense, then light leaks and blobs, then AI picked it all up and amplified.

@jones_amgwagon @but_cyclists Cars have brakes, plural, as in one on every wheel
English
I'm gonna say it.
People who ride fixies in public without a front brake are fucking wankers. It's illegal and dangerous, as we know from that one famous case.
Please keep these things on the track.
Yeah But Cyclists@but_cyclists
They're a bunch of fucking idiots
English
@but_cyclists Yeah, accidents happen and he should face the proper consequences.
But to make a push bike illegal is a pound of cure for an ounce of a problem.
Apply the same measure to cars and see how people react.
English
@____katieee Reminds me of how the city of Cleveland claimed NFL players only “work” on game days, so they could tax visiting players on 1/17 of their annual income
English
another way to put that is $50K/year lol
Ashvin Gandhi@ashdgandhi
I'm a former Harvard PhD student. Based on my experience, current social science students probably make a bit over $250k + healthcare over 5 years, with just 784 hours of required TA work. That's almost $320/hour for the "work" and the rest is classes and your own research.

@kolo_revived @lst156 Thank you. I read this article twice thinking I missed the argument the first time. It really is just “I observed that rents increase over time” and “I don’t like landlords or developers, therefore I won’t vote for anything they support”.
English
I wrote a thing on housing. You should read it.

@ruthapur23535 @TriangulateThis @LeBolshevikman @Genrikh_Yeggoda That’s not true now and wasn’t then either. Einstein was born at 7 months, for example

@CMB1969 @MattZeitlin It’s always fun to point out that Queen Victoria’s first language was German
English
@MattZeitlin The point of 1066 wasn't so much that a Norman king took the throne. It's that he dispossessed most of the Anglo-Saxon nobility and replaced them with Norman French supporters. William of Orange brought over very few Dutchmen to Britain
Tulsa, OK 🇺🇸 English
This is true but it’s illegal in Britain to say it because otherwise you’d have to admit that 1688 was a successful foreign invasion
Haydn Belfield@HaydnBelfield
People think of 1066 as the great rupture in British history, but I think its 1688 - that William of Orange is a greater Conqueror than William of Normandy. Over the intervening six centuries we were second rank, feudal, absolutist, basically French. The Dutch came over and taught us about capitalism, debt, the Navy - reconnected us with our Anglo-Saxon roots and catapulted Britain to it's historic role as creator of the modern world.

@clemferguson @ContraPoints @DAguerrebere The polls also gave HRC about 70% chance of winning in 16. It was a whole thing
English
@ContraPoints @DAguerrebere sure, that was the Trump base but Trump has never been popular. Obama was a two term president and Trump was so unpopular that any viable candidate could’ve steamrolled him.
Polls show that the self proclaimed “socialist” would have won against Trump had he been nominated
English
It’s become a standard leftist view that Trumpism was a backlash to Obama not being socialist enough and I… don’t think that’s what happened lol
The Lever@LeverNews
How did America go from Obama to Trump? Maine Senate candidate @grahamformaine tells @davidsirota it wasn’t some great mystery: Democrats bailed out banks, abandoned working people, and let corporate power keep running the party. Go and listen to the full episode over on The Lever's Youtube channel.

Bob Seger is better than Bruce Springsteen. I don’t know how many of you are joining me on this island but I feel like it will be 50% geniuses and 50% guys who make women instinctively lock their car doors.

@DanFriedman81 @eastonfreeze It has historically been very difficult to get rid of payday lenders
English
@EymanHenry @eastonfreeze When you regulate things that are in demand out of existence and then the mafia fills in the space that the legitimate market has vacated, it has historically been very difficult to get rid of the mafia.
English
I’m sorry a *what* interest rate?
ProPublica@propublica
The Flex Loan, a new type of payday loan pioneered by Advance Financial in Tennessee, allows residents to borrow up to $4,000 at a 279.5% interest rate. It has burdened low-income borrowers while generating huge profits for lenders. propublica.org/article/flex-l…
English
@DanFriedman81 @eastonfreeze That’s better! You can put loan sharks in prison. Payday lenders are more pervasive and widespread because their business is legal and can be done in the open. Even in the mafia’s heyday, there just weren’t that many loan sharks in as many places
English
You’re supposed to pay this back within 2 weeks. This is the rate that compensates the risk of giving a cash loan to someone who is flat broke with bad credit and no assets.
The argument against banning these is that they are better than loan sharks and will not break your legs.
English
@RaoulDukereal @ZODIAC_MF It’s been a while but I remember the main thing we learn about Tuco’s background is his brother became a priest and he became a bandit. He’s “bad” because he rejected the Catholic Church. Kinda says more about 1960s Italy than 1860s USA
English
@ZODIAC_MF Is Tuco not a former Confederate in tgtbtu? I thought that was his thing
English
HAHAHA YEAH THANKS FOR CLUING US IN DICKHEAD. LORD KNOWS THE OUTLAW JOSEY WALES IS VERY COY ABOUT JOSEYS ORIGINS.

Idk who needs to hear this, but your favorite Western is about a former Confederate.

@somsai @jdcmedlock @GScottShand Self-driving is probably inevitable, in the far future likely nobody will be driving manually, but at that point it won’t be millennials arguing with zoomers, it’ll be zoomers or a later generation arguing with the generation after them.
In the meantime, I agree, Waymo sucks
English
@EymanHenry @jdcmedlock @GScottShand Maybe Waymo sucks, and a BYD with self driving would put them all out of business.
English
While we're on the topic, Zoomers have no idea how cheap an Uber ride used to be.
G. Scott Shand 🌐@GScottShand
Hot take: The entire ZIRP subsidized Millennial economy suddenly becoming expensive with rising interest rates and tight labor markets had more political impact than any other inflation.
English
@somsai @jdcmedlock @GScottShand Waymo is already here and it’s always more money than an Uber or Lyft
English
@jdcmedlock @GScottShand Wait for self driving. At some point I hope we stop buying cars, just enter an app and it's at the front door before you even open the door.
English
@missmayn Property tax shouldn’t be a thing once a house is paid off. However boomers had life on easy mode and I think they shouldn’t get a cent of social security until those who are paying for it (us) are able to raise a family on one income.
