@Den Röda Smurfen the fact that they're arguing from catastrophe just makes me more and more skeptical of climate change in general

either they're not woke enough or they're too woke for me to understand

half of them are blunt little butter knives I'll bet

yeah, it's pretty a e s t h e t i c alright

one man's experience is another's premature optimisation

phrases that are starting to make my blood boil: "combat X-stereotypes"

it's just a fashionable way to say "I wanna be an attentionwhore"

"ey man, why you dressed as a girl" "I lost a bet" "lol, cool man, that's funny"

compare with

"ey man, why you dressed as a girl" "my dad made me"

true, true

"self care"

I think any economic prediction for more than 7 days into the future is worthless

and even then it's more about luck than expertise

(unless you have hyper-specific inside trader knowledge)

also, why do these remoaners peddle this "EU is going to punish the UK for brexit" FUD nonsense -- it just makes the EU look evil and spiteful

"oh yeah, let's remain in this union that often introduces new frictions to the market and the only way to ensure those frictions won't hurt trade is to be part of that friction"

meanwhile, the continent continues to stagnate economically

not to mention Macron & Merkel's antipathy for Poland and Hungary

or everyone ignoring the catalonian situation in Spain

I love it when normies try to tell me the EU is the only reason we haven't had WW3

reading this wikipedia about John Von Neumann https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_von_Neumann -> suddenly find this gem: "During a Senate committee hearing he described his political ideology as "violently anti-communist, and much more militaristic than the norm". He was quoted in 1950 remarking, "If you say why not bomb [the Soviets] tomorrow, I say, why not today? If you say today at five o'clock, I say why not one o'clock?"[144]"

smartest man in the world (arguably) -> unironically would've pre-emptively nuked commies

squarely, lol

red pilled how

I'm going to san francisco in a couple of weeks from now... it's been around 8 years since my last visit, so I'm curious if things have gotten as bad as they say (human feces and used needles)

I'll keep you posted

but even last time there were a LOT of homeless people

it's one of those books everyone feels like they know what it's about due to cultural osmosis (like 1984 or Animal Farm) but that people really ought to actually read because there's a lot of subtleties that get glossed over by people who just read the summary

I used to work in advertising, sounds familiar

that bottom face on the 1939 version

very derpy

food first, morals follow on

Yang is literally the name of the communist faction leader in Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri

no, they'll keep the royal family for PR reasons

royalty and socialists get along just fine

Anyone here at GDC?

In the heart of the progressive dystopia of san francisco

I’ve never seen so many trannies irl

They have actual pronoun badges

have you read Basic Economics sargon?

I've read BE, Intellectuals & Society and Race & Disparity

but BE was the biggest eye-opener to me

... yes?

notice me senpai

I'm considering learning polish

generalisations go both ways phionfire

positive ones aren't any more likely to be correct than negative ones

ah, vile right wing hate rag the guardian

homeless people are an illuminati plot

there are no actual homeless people

they are all crisis actors who go home afterwards

it's all just a ruse to keep people going to their jobs

yeah, I'm genuinely not sure wether you're a muslim or an alt-righter or just trolling

I like to think of myself as politically non-euclidian

"Trump's foreign policy" - you mean not starting WW3, bombing the shit out of ISIS and making diplomatic progress with North Korea? Or are they talking about how he doesn't like Merkel or the EU?

that's begging to be exploited

should be easy to photoshop danny devito's face on the fetus or something, whatever's hip with the kids

@D-Rusty don't share active links that give those dirty, dirty smear merchants traffic: use archivers http://archive.is/g7zZS

"If Johnson were a black woman, he’d have to be totally beyond reproach or he’d long since be finished" -> yeah, 8 years of obama never getting criticised in the MSM proved that a lie

or the Ilhan Omar thing, can you imagine a white, religious fundamentalist politician with incest and terror connections as just a few of the skeletons in their closet?

"The natural gas ordinance, introduced by Councilwoman Kate Harrison, requires all new single-family homes, town homes and small apartment buildings to have electric infrastructure."
typical NIMBY move: who cares where the electricity comes from, or if the power grid can handle everyone using it for everything like cooking and heating

"The ordinance allocates $273,341 per year for a two-year staff position in the Building and Safety Division within the city’s Department of Planning and Development.The employee will be responsible for implementing the ban."

And here's the reason why gov'ts have these ordinances. Gotta gib cushy jobs to the party loyalists

and you gotta transport that electricity, losing a lot of energy along the way

gas->heat->steam->electricity->power grid->your home->your electric stove->electricity->heat

vs. gas->your stove->heat

giving jobs to people in politics? almost inevitably leads to some form of corruption

even if it is just on the level of gaining another 2 incentivized supporters to go activist on your behalf

after all, their income now depends on it

someone take away fortnite from barron

Trump should be the one to legalise weed and blow everyone's minds

or out of short-sighted protest they all clean up their acts and suddenly realise what kind of bs they've been listening to

chinese marxism is another example of western colonialism. Chinese should live in a society built on chinese philosophies, not 19th century german ones

still creeped out that the guy married the old lady who molested him as a child

classic patriarchy :p

but seriously, that's some alex jones elites-are-in-crazy-mkultra-sex-cults type shit

directed by michael moore

everyone hated the kochs but the article does little to explain why, and the given reason "Their push for small government and a free economy made them both famous and controversial." makes them seem like libertarians

real problem with the kochs as I saw it was that they thought libertarian philosophy of private property applied to the corrupt financial sector and wallstreet

which couldn't exist except in a statist unfree market
