He who controls the past controls the future, and he who controls the present controls the past.

I guess the rationale would be that Door Dash is allowed to buy a pizza and once they have it they can resell it if they want to. I won’t speculate on whether there are any legal arguments for why they can’t do that. 

But how doesn’t this come back to bite them in the ass? Door Dash just doesn’t care that it’s being charged more than what the customer is paying?

I consider myself a reasonably smart person but I still can’t figure out how this is supposed to work. I need a diagram or something. As far as I can tell, the company orders the pizza for $16, but charges doordash $24 for the actual cost, then doordash eventually send them their cut of the transaction? But doordash…

She probably assumes the labels of “top” and “bottom” indicate an inherent power dynamic.

AVClub newswire writers aren’t really journalists - they’re more like livejournal bloggers who were lucky enough to be asked to make filler. 

Same, King was the first “adult” author that I churned through as a young teenager, and I probably read The Stand before I had even tried tackling just a 500 page novel. Though I’ve reread some of his stuff recently and come to the conclusion he’s actually a terrible writer with great ideas, I just didn’t know what…

I started reading it at the outset too. I agree with the comment below - The Stand does the best job I’ve ever seen of charting the rapid breakdown into chaos caused by a disaster of some kind. The problem is that after everyone gets to Boulder, King spends at least 350 pages, literally the length of an entire novel…

Can you present even a single piece of evidence to support this comical claim?

As a progressive who occasionally tunes in I feel confident saying you’ve never listened to a Joe Rogan podcast.

Did this idea ever really have enough going for it to be a TV series? The movie was meant to be an allegory about class, which is something one could contain in a two hour movie. So the TV show either has to tell the same allegory over and over again to the point of tedium, or it has to engage in random story lines…

WTF, did you take out a loan from the mafia? Even with compound interest how does that happen? May I ask what your interest rate is?

But you’re missing my point - the concept of privilege has been conflated with the means of production. Simply having privilege now qualifies one as an exploiter, and people are told this is unconsciously the case whether they believe they’re doing anything or not. This is where the breakdown in organizing occurs. 

Such a boring reply. This isn’t even something Petersen would say, you haven’t even figured out what side of this issue I’m on. 

This is neo-Marxism in a nutshell - it attempts to incorporate identity politics into a confused new hybrid wherein the means of production are replaced with the concept of privilege derived from innate characteristics like sex, race, and gender. This goes to Barsanti’s point, which is that he believes even under a…

It’s interesting, eh? I certainly don’t fault them for looking their age but there’s something jarring about seeing their real faces after being so consistently exposed to the made-up versions. 

What about his voicework in Grand Theft Auto 5? A work of art!

Today I learned that outside the studio many of my favorite comedians and actors look very old and exhausted.

Big surprise, MoSam making it all about himself again. 

But really what did Ferris do that was so bad? He cut class, and he did peer pressure his friend into joy riding his dad’s car, but aside from that he didn’t really do much.
