I suspect that declining attendance at public parks will be used as justification to fund them less, then shut them down, then sell off the land to resource exploiters.

There is no paradox.

Tolerance is a social contract.

If you abide by the terms of the contract (e.g. tolerance) then the contract applies to you and you are protected by it.

If you do not abide by the terms of the contract then it is broken, and you are not protected by the contract.

It didn't create a return for VCs fast enough.

Now VCs are throwing money at anybody who slaps a "now with AI!" sticker on the side of their shovelware. All aboard the money train! Who cares if it does anything useful as long as we can convince somebody to pay for it.

And the best way anyone has come up with for letting people live their lives is to set the system against itself in perpetuity, lest it become so enamored of its own existence that it comes to believe itself more important than the people.

Ah yes, finding the rotting corpse of a long-dead rat, maggoty and moldy, bones and fur and decay... much less disturbing.

Ah yes, finding a bloody rat screaming and twitching, trapped under the wire, its spine broken... much less disturbing.

Deflation increases the value of money vs. goods and services. As a consequence, deflation concentrates economic power in the hands of people who already have money.

If you have debt, deflation increases the value of your debt making it harder to pay off.

True patriots support the country, not the government.

No true patriot can support what the Trump administration is doing to the country.

 

My introduction to this was through the video, so it felt appropriate to share here. I'm sure this is a reupload and I saw it somewhere else earlier than 2012.

You can actually play with it on the creator's website:

This popular successor to the original Turbo Encabulator has now been itself succeeded by the impressive Hyper Encabulator. There seems to be no end to clever innovation in the important field of encabulation.
