Self examination. Question and challenge your beliefs constantly. Dig into anything that makes you uncomfortable especially

If you're not growing, your views are not getting closer to the truth. There is no end point, only growth

What do you mean? Any AI can replace any knowledge worker. You just fire the worker and say AI will do it, easy

Look around... Running a corporation isn't about doing things or making things anymore, it's about the stock price. And consulting companies have convinced investors that layoffs are so hot and rich

If you haven't noticed, the quality of everything has been plummeting since COVID. They don't care about tomorrow problems, just extracting as much wealth as they can before it all comes crashing down

Don't forget, she also delayed FEMA rescuers for 3 days in the Texas flood, because she decided she has to personally sign any spending over $100k... And then she didn't. For 3 days

He's a co-owner, the other guy (and CEO) is the former cop

Apparently, the farm owner is a former cop. A former cop who had been in a labor dispute with workers over overtime and missed wages

Ugh...I hate every part of that

I picture Superman as crashing into Kansas in like the '30s, maybe with a bit of a slippery time scale. No way it was in the '90s... But I don't know enough about Superman to argue the point, I just find the idea really unsettling

Well, more like I think he predates the surveillance state, and by virtue of growing up in Kansas he's an American and no one would consider thinking otherwise (all of this legal/illegal nonsense is pretty new historically)

I'm not trying to split hairs, but I like to spread reminders that people live where they live, and the idea you can live in a county illegally is inhuman

It's not real, so empathy is not required. Cartoons often have horrifying implications if you look too closely, because they're not trying to represent reality

If you're putting yourself in the place of the mother pig, you're zoomed in to far. The absurdism is in the situation

Think of it this way, if the reason for the child dying was making some parallel to something real, like splitting the family due to deportation... That's something grounded in reality, it would be horrible

But there is no situation where doctors turn children into meat as a service. The premise is absurd. There's no danger a real person would ever go through this, this is pure fancy

The mother's reaction isn't to laugh at her pain, it's to let us sit with the moment and let the joke land

That is a weird aspect... Like the mental gymnastics required to subvert the actual message of Jesus requires so much magic and hundreds of years of killing anyone who read it unguided

You have to be kidding me... It's like they're not even trying

Yeah, well... Got room for 60 million immigrants?

Your saying it wrong

"Your honor, masked thugs were attempting to kidnap the very scared man. They also refused to identify themselves or explain the situation"
