Remember how good the economy was in the 50’s and 60’s? Wanna guess what the tax rate on the wealthy was? It was 91%. This was the “golden age of American capitalism”, and that tax revenue kicked off a slew of public works projects that boosted the economy.

I mean, using “female” to refer to another human is pretty demeaning imo, though stifling discussion isn’t a good look. I can’t imagine the “discussion” around this was super productive though, knowing Reddit.

OP wouldn’t need it because their point is to say that the lander was just made from household items and staged to look like it was on the moon. To them, there’s nothing functional in that photo.

The thing is, it’s usually long enough after his comments have had their impact that these additions are made. It’s really his having/eating cake feature. He can say some out and out false shit, it gets picked up by his base and spread, the community mod a day or two later goes “actually”, and if someone calls him out he can just say “oh but the community mod set things right” if he doesn’t just outright ignore it.

I’m just hooked on dead cells with a smattering of rocket league.

Did start Hyper Light Drifter and looking forward to getting more into it

Well he was a seventh day Adventist who though cumming made Jesus cry and shot yogurt up his ass and commented that “someday black people could learn from whites how to be close approximations of people”, I don’t think science was his strong suit

He just didn’t think pleasure was good in any form - sex, sugar, games, etc.

Water enemas yes, but his favorite was yogurt.

I’m just gonna come right out and say “no”? We can’t handle individual care well at all. If we had UBI, actual Medicare for all, and sane safety nets this would be largely mitigated. Shoving people in institutions always results in negative outcomes. It shows a lack of care for those affected to placate those who are inconvenienced.

We can’t do anything about gun violence but the “scourge of mentally ill violence” is the real thing to address? Fuck that.

Recycling plastic is more so a lie fed by the plastic manufacturers.

Right - we humans are generally most concerned with what’s “comfortable”. That’s a fun spin on “being able to live”. The earth will be fine with or without us, we’re just doing a good job of shooting for “without”.

The phrasing made me think it was a Some More News reference and I’m pleasantly surprised to have something new to check out - thanks!
