Correct. This is the real takeaway here. It's terrifying that Antarctica is so warm.

What a beautiful thing

I'm the only person on my street actually in favor of the proposed multi-use housing/shopping complex a developer wants to build a block over from us. I can't change the minds of all these old people. I'm pretty sure we're just fucked until they all move out or pass on.

Covid infection causes myocarditis 7 times more often than the vaccine:

Vaccines don't cause autism. That link was proposed by one single doctor in the UK who was a grifter trying to make money so he made the whole thing up:

Why do you care what racist uncle thinks though? Is it going to affect anyone in the world other than him?

[-] [email protected] 31 points 2 years ago

No, I think this goes to show that the whole idea that people will cry if prices are raised to increase wages is a lie. People who buy products and services want the people who are tasked with delivering those products and services to make a good living. They are willing to pay more in the form of tips; they will be willing to pay more in the form of prices. Just give people raises already ffs.

(And that's not to say that prices will actually increase all that much if wages increase because that's also mostly a lie told to protect corporate profit margins.)

No, he has 2% of that 4.6% and people are just bad at understanding how percentages work.

Not that one individual having a full 2% of the wealth of an entire generation is a great thing.

Of course no one believes that, don't make hyperbolic strawmen. But you can't deny that poverty definitely drives a nontrivial percentage of crimes, and we have plenty enough resources to end poverty. Let's do that, and the remaining actual sociopaths can stay in prison for life. (But also let's make prison no longer a place where we torture and enslave people.)

Those people have such a lust for violence and don't care that the poor people they claim to be fighting for will be the ones who suffer most

This right here has been my experience with VC. I was working for an online retail startup when 9/11 happened. Within days, we were all called into the office to be told we were shutting down because the VCs pulled our funding. This despite the fact that we were only two months away from projected profitability and beating our sales projections every single month. But we weren't the biggest paying bet in the casino, so they dumped us when the cash flow got tight.

That would have been a successful company, but it wasn't good enough for the VC class.

Jesus, you're everywhere. Yes, it's better to let someone get away with whatever cheap trash they carried out of a fucking Walmart than it is to endanger the public with high speed vehicles.

My sister lives near Huntington with my four nephews and niece. I don't want them accidentally hit by an out of control cop car because some poor person stole trash from a Walmart.
