I have never been so glad to have five paid for cars, two of which with barely 50K miles on them.

You’re really reaching there, but I’ll humor you:

I don't understand if you're serious 

You know what else Transparent creator Joey Soloway said??? That you neglected to print???

it’s possible to support free gender expression without denying that sex and gender are linked. it’s not necessary to go to the performative lengths of they/themming infants - that benefits no one.

While sitting in the room named after “Money Heist” does anyone at Netflix ever wonder why they didn’t spent an extra five minutes coming up with a name better than “Money Heist?”

Boy it sure sounds like a stretch to characterize the takeaway of this article as “pro-cpitalism” when there’s such descriptors used as “the economy is busted” and “This phenomenon presents a potential disaster”.

Why anyone would want to implement taxes in a video game is beyond me.

God, I love how MMORPGs are this genre of game where you can just kinda go “oops, our fun game accidentally provided an excellent example of an economics problem that researchers are probably going to be busy taking notes on for a while”.

your username is fitting and you are retarded if you think “a democrat in office” makes any impact whatsoever in China’s domination.

That feels like some extremely important context.

Eh, she got pushed back into work 10 days after emergency spine surgery for a work-related injury. I’d say the earth was already scorched and sown with salt.

The PA who got paralyzed was the safety person for a lift that was going up and down.  Her job was to let people around the lift know when it was moving.  She decided to sit UNDER THE ARM OF THE LIFT on the device and poke at her phone.  She was, I’ll re iterate, the person who was assigned to keep people aware of the…

And you call them steamed pants, despite the fact that they are obviously grilled...

Shoot, if you’da added “the population would welcome us with open arms” you’d have hit the full Dick Cheney trifecta.

China is currently in the throes of a power supply crisis brought on by a combination of factors, ranging from low production in China and a ban on Australian coal (which they used to rely on heavily before the Australians gained a backbone and told China off re: human rights).

I’ve been saying for some time now that a growth industry would be major refurbishment. Instead of replacing cars, what about renewing them? It would avoid massive amounts of raw material processing and its associated environmental damage, and give owners the opportunity to upgrade existing vehicles to like new or…

Part of me thinks these supply disruptions are “manufactured” to increase pricing and all the disruptions will be alleviated once consumers are happy to pay that price increase indefinitely.  Basically frog in a pot thing.

I’m starting to wonder if optimizing all of our supply chains around China is no longer as good of an idea as before. They’re autocratic and have complete control over industries, not to mention there’s the whole Taiwan thing which could be hugely problematic for multiple industries just based on what TSMC produces by…

Waste, all of it.
