@SeanMombo @moodyaquarius @taylorivers a lol lmao

@MeasureOne1 @moodyaquarius @taylorivers you need to reread that excerpt and/or go look up what astrology is

thinking about amanda bynes' iconic lie from 2013

@moodyaquarius @taylorivers But even if it wasn't, it seems like a much more objectionable sentiment to say that being bald makes you feel like cancer than like a cancer patient.

@MeasureOne1 @taylorivers It doesn't, that's the point, because it's such an obvious lie

@Andr3jH how do I invest in this?

I aim at having a threesome with Alexandra Daddario and Ana de Armas

@FeralPHunter oof. Prayers up man I hope you land on your feet.

guess who has two thumbs and got laid off a month into a new job after moving to nyc 😀

A man was born into the permanent underclass. He worked two jobs, paid his rent late, owned nothing, and prayed every night: "Lord, deliver me from this. I have faith." One day his cousin called. "Brother. Ground floor. New coin. SafeMoonRocketDoge. You put in five thousand, you walk away with fifty by Friday when we rug it." The man said, "I do not need a scam. The Lord will deliver me," and hung up. Months later, a coworker comes up to him during lunch. "I'm going all in on NFTs. Pixelated raccoons. We mint, we pump, we rug, we vanish. Six figures, clean exit, you'll be in Lisbon by spring. Want in?" The man said, "I do not need fraud. The Lord will deliver me," and went back to mopping. A year later, an accountant from his second job pulled him aside. "The PPP window is still cracked open if you know where to push. I file the paperwork. You 'own' a landscaping LLC with eleven employees. We split the forgiven loan. The feds don't care. You'll own a boat in Florida in no time." The man said, "I will not steal. The Lord will deliver me," and went back to work. The man worked until, one day, his back gave out. He died in the hallway of a hospital that was, even then, billing him for the hallway. At the gates, he fell to his knees. "Lord, I had faith. I worked every day of my life. I prayed. Why did You not let me escape the permanent underclass?" And the Lord, with great tenderness, said: "My son. I sent you SafeMoonRocketDoge. I sent you pixelated raccoon NFTs. I sent you a landscaping company with eleven imaginary employees and a forgivable federal loan. What more, exactly, were you waiting on?"

@AndyMasley One should always be wary of "if I'm pissing off X I'm doing something right" but in this case I think it applies. Not that you were implying that.

It appears Alex Hanna, Timnit Gebru, and Remmelt Ellen have all denounced me for denying infrasound harms. I will do some soul searching

@DaveDeek @ZbynekDrab @captgouda24 Which is why one of the functions of the state is to ensure people can't disrupt all of society when they face adverse conditions.

@ZbynekDrab @captgouda24 Neat bro, People aren’t just going to lay down and accept the end just because you want them

Thatcher haters annoy me because they all dislike her for the wrong reasons. The coal miners were a terrorist outfit who wanted to be paid forever. People just do not grasp how malignant, how cancerous, how parasitic, the trade unions were.

Suboptimal policy and business decisions have costs measured in human lives. But if you use the standard 'you could easily have done something different to save a life, and you didn't', 'being a person in the US with $10k and not donating it to GiveWell' is social murder.

@AndyMasley Isn't the idea to pass the savings to the consumers, not labor?

The idea here seems to be that if you eliminate taxes and rent, you can just pass those savings onto labor. Which is technically true, but taxes are meant to redistribute those savings onto all labor and people who aren't capable of work, not the specific people who happen to work at the store. This seems strictly worse.

Okay I looked into Mamdani's plan for how to make public grocery stores cheaper and it looks like it's entirely "They don't need to pay rent or property taxes."

@KelseyTuoc @AlexNowrasteh It does sound like it should be illegal but it should not be considered insider trading. Getting the right verdict with the wrong reasoning seems bad for precedent (though I know nothing about law).

@AlexNowrasteh this leaks classified information about our military operations! I admit it's silly to think about the issue as 'insider trading', but it could easily have gotten people killed

He bet on his *own* raid. Phenomenal, let him keep it. No problem whatsoever and maybe some public good too. bbc.com/news/articles/…

@kane @nytimes At least Alex Jones is funny.

The surprising part is not the left creating their own Alex Jones, the surprising part is publications like @nytimes that claim to be credible and look down their noses at Alex Jones credulously platforming Piker.

@sugarbets_ @TheKnight9910 @deepestbrew My experience in the world depends on me staying alive. So there's no reason for me risking death by pressing the blue button. It is the same reason I don't play Russian roulette. Pure risk no reward.

The question is “what do you live for?” Red pushers are saying they only live for themselves. Not for their experience in the world. IMO, it completely misses what makes the world worth living in. Like, it sounds like you’d want to be kept alive in ICU instead of the plug pulled. If pure survival is your main concern

If you assume a nonzero number of blue voters, then picking blue is a natural Schelling point. More to the point: there are many reasons someone might pick blue, and we should not be sentencing them to death for their “mistake.”

@Geekerchan And yet this isn't the weirdest choice in the ad.

Why the fuck would you advertise your casino with the line "The house always wins" "yeah man if you gamble here you'll always lose lol sign up here"

@skooookum We should tax Citi Bikes more to account for the externalities they impose on everyone else trying to get around in the city.

The left has gone insane

People arent defending the company more so calling out people drinking 5-7 energy drinks stupid.

@katie_honan I'm mostly interested in how a geologist makes $200k/yr. This is the stuff they don't tell you when you're picking a major!

It’s a SERIES! They have spoken to MULTIPLE PEOPLE WITH VARYING INCOMES! You CROPPED OUT THE SERIES NAME!

@kane Maybe they just mean that nobody is comfortable saying why in polite society?

“The Supreme Court banned race discrimination in college admissions and Asian acceptance rates increased. I have no idea how these two might be related. I am a reporter.”

@alisha_hg Everything else aside, my guess is the people who don't satisfy *any* of these conditions are a relatively small minority of Americans. Which makes me suspicious that only they know what's going on.

This is satirical right? In what world are people who wake up and make good, societally ordering decisions day after day “part of the problem” lol
