I prefer co-op games like the James Webb telescope. Thanks ESA for a perfect launch.

I love how in every topic about WFH there's some dudebro going on about the economy suffering due to supposed lessened productivity and I'm like... Why should I care?

Don't you even think about the billionaires, bro?

I love the abstract “productivity”.

Like yo, cancer is incredibly productive.

Demolishing subsistence farms and replacing them with cash crop slave plantations is mad profitable.

I could make thousands of dollars in a day if I just sold everything I own.

Our metrics of economic growth revolve around basically doing all of the above, to varying degrees of figurative vs. literal-ness.

There's no Americans bragging about that. Corporations and the government, sure. The rest of us are to busy living in pain

the amount of times i saw Americans call Europeans "Europoor" because they don't get idiotic pickups. would disagree about that ...

although maybe it's just bots trying to make Americans even dumber.
