“The one fallacy of our capitalistic market system — one that enables and allows individuals to (bafflingly, at least to me) charge more for something that is in short supply — is the arbitrary notion of assigning value to goods, which has come into play in a big way in this used car market”

LOL. From the first article, a thesis project, you tried to cite (and obviously didn’t read):

How is that the lesson? Because someone filed a clearly frivolous lawsuit after spending his entire life trying to cash in on being on said album cover?

This is maybe the only article on Kinja where I have agreed with every single one of the comments.

Maybe you don’t get to decide what counts as “punching down” for everyone, and maybe your opinion on the state of comedy is of less value (no value, in truth) than an actual comic.

Exactly. They don’t have an argument. They know nothing about comedy. The heard the phrase “punch down” on Kinja and now they are experts in the art form.

I love the logic of articles like this, and in the comments. As if we should take the word of a glorified blogger or some nobody commenters on a website over the word of the people who are actually doing the damn thing.

I think you are overvaluing the militant vegan segment of the population for whom these meatless options are not kosher. However, I don’t think those people would go to KFC anyway, regardless of whether there was no cross-contamination.

LOL. Found the guy who apparently thinks woke food is a thing.

I guess I’m in the minority here, but I’m perfectly okay with mandatory minimums for rape.

90K a month just for putting on clothes! And here I’ve been putting on clothes for free like a sucker.

There is no greater proof than that we are living in the worst, stupidest time in human history than that a pope is addressing “cancel culture,” which is truly the least important issue in human history.

LOL. As opposed to all the other Twitch streamers who are contributing so much value to society. And if she doesn’t matter then why does she have you in your feelings about it? Exactly what harm is she causing you, Steve? Other than that she’s a woman who is more successful than you will ever be.

Can anyone who is not a complete knob explain to me why the obsession and negativity surrounding this person? It appears that people have strong feelings about her and her choice of lifestyle/employment.

The answer is literally in the second sentence of the article.

I have an idea for an app that works sort of like those collars in Suicide Squad. It goes around a man’s genitals sort of like a cock ring and if he becomes aroused around a woman who has not given consent, it blows his junk off. And then alerts the police.

Normally I would agree. I think it’s weird that we need trigger warnings suddenly, for basically any content. But at the same time, as much as this seems like “snowflake” nonsense, is it functionally much different than the movie ratings system? Rated R for violence or adult language or sexual situations or smoking or…

“I’m right. I win.”

2022 is off to about the start I figured. Jesus.

Dang it. I totally forgot about dry January this year. And every single previous year.
