Britain did brexit and a bunch of other countries elected right wing nut jobs in response to globalization, not just the us

Its the same with drawing.

Its funny how no one gets confused about lawyers having to practice law, etc. We need better PR.

And yet everyone I know who has used it pre-2010s ish says ‘sequel’

This one fits me best

New one I just became aware of:

How does everyone say SQL?

They don’t care about the quality of television. Writing a story that goes on and on and offers the possibility of several spinoffs is the equivalent of micro-transactions in video games : they make more money that way.

Capitalism only maximizes money, it doesn’t maximize quality. It eats quality to make more money.

because conservatives believe everyone thinks like them and are just scared to admit it

just need to preserve this line because its so spot on

as if rich people care about how much they pollute

People were saying that about cryogenics.

Humans have a vast body of knowledge about how things work. It’s a shame its dwarfed by the vast body of knowledge we are completely ignorant of.

Much as scientists managed to be surprised that life had evolved to eat garbage in the pacific garbage patch, it seems some will manage to be surprised that when humans eliminate one source of mortality, another inevitably evolves to take advantage of the ever-growing supply of humans.

paradox does not mean ‘has two definitions’. It means the ONE definition contains a contraction, i.e. ‘tolerance needs to be intolerant towards intolerance in order for a tolerant society to exist’ contains a contradiction.

Really can’t agree that qyron is right, doesn’t seem to know what the paradox of tolerance is

‘people posting stuff you consider harmful’ is not a simple, black and white issue. Anyone who pretends that allowing all opinions has no consequences is full of shit, anyone who claims that tightly policing opinions has no consequences is full of shit.

Like almost everything in life, you will have to navigate a tenuous balance between these two things and you will never know if you got the balance right. You are just a sack of meat doomed to die.

not sure if it hits like it did in my head

I need to make this into a planter and keep it on my desk. I don’t think it would be possible to be upset with this thing around

Perfect, no notes

such propaganda.

edit: oh are we doing wrong/opposite answers? mb

Bill Gates has a lot of you fooled. https://www.democracynow.org/2007/1/9/report_gates_foundation_causing_harm_with

L.A. Times investigation reveals the Gates Foundation’s humanitarian concerns are not reflected in how it invests its money. In the Niger Delta, where the foundation funds programs to fight polio and measles, the foundation has also invested more than $400 million in companies like Royal Dutch Shell, ExxonMobil and Chevron. These oil firms have been responsible for much of the pollution many blame for respiratory problems and other afflictions among the local population.

The Gates Foundation also has investments in 69 of the worst polluting companies in the U.S. and Canada, including Dow Chemical. It holds stakes in drug companies whose drugs cost far beyond what most AIDS patients around the world can afford. Other companies in the foundation’s portfolio have been accused of transgressions including forcing thousands of people to lose their homes, supporting child labor, defrauding and neglecting patients in need of medical care.

He was still doing it in 2015 https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2015/mar/19/gates-foundation-has-14bn-in-fossil-fuels-investments-guardian-analysis

He said again in 2019 he won’t divest from fossil fuels https://www.opec.org/opec_web/en/5672.htm

People who think Gates is doing good with his wealth basically don’t understand that a lot of the problems we are facing are caused by wealth inequality in the first place. Some of you are watching 6 monkeys hoard all the bananas and then when they throw you 1 you love them for it?

Edit: Theres a french journalist who wrote a whole book about the gates scam. Here an interview on youtube with him https://youtu.be/Dqzt6yAmdDE?t=246. Also fixed formatting and missing link

I wish everyone would embrace this view so we could start talking implementation details instead of the endless ideological warfare. These capitalists and communists might as well just make a fucking church out of it already, so much dogma.

Here’s my American Healthcare story:

• snap finger bone, go to urgent care to get splint
• pay 50ish dollars that day
• 2 months later, get bill for 200 dollars
• ahah! everyone says to ask for an itemized bill! do that
• get itemized bill back that claims the 200 charge is for ‘visiting with a doctor with knowledge of medical history’ (paraphrasing)
• contest charge because I did not see a doctor, and splinting a snapped finger does not require any fucking context at all
• get runaround for 2 months, while being threatened with late fees
• finally they say they will adjust the bill
• get new bill for $201, ‘for a visit that did not include a doctor’ (no fucking joke)

welcome the USA, where healthcare operations are scams

(these are just 2 of the scams in my state, thanks to shell companies when one is shut, another opens)

edit: and in case anyone thinks I paid that shit, I didn’t. I sent them a polite version of a ‘fuck you’ reply. Then covid hit and I never heard from them again.
