Ohh yes I approve this modification

Someone please make a mattress out of it!!

His comedy has always been about making fun of essentialism in the way only comedy does (Men are like, Women are like, White people are like, etc).

His problem is that he got mad people were calling him mean and his bloated ego decided the solution was to double down and be mean on purpose. Then he decided he was smart enough to understand the entire project of personal identity (something humans have been concerned about since the beginning of writing and which likely isn’t getting much further without a solution to the mind-body problem) and did some internet research and, after generalizing the experience of two trans people and committing erroneously to the fact that most people would claim to be internally consistent in their beliefs, he decided he’s not even being vindictive anymore, he’s simply understood something true and so he’s allowed to use his (formerly anti-racist) platform to say it.

ACAB and fuck Judge Rochelle M. Woodiest. Even local judges have such broad and seemingly arbitrary power.

I’m fine with them drawing on (and contributing to) unemployment insurance the same everyone else!

The models economics uses fail pretty much all the time so it definitely shouldn’t be considered science in the same way as physics or chemistry. If they were held to similar standards every economic ‘model’ would be tossed out after any rigorous testing (where success for the model would be accurate predictions). Instead they treat their models as ideal types and continue to base them on massive assumptions.

So (excepting that the alternative is Trump for a minute) you’re thinking a rational actor should vote for the guy improving the economy for lower wage workers even if it didn’t benefit them individually?

I don’t hate that take.

I do think the formula we american kids were taught in school was more like

1. Individuals vote in their selfish interests

2. Selfish votes are tallied and hopefully if you average out people’s self-interested votes they elect a guy who is acting in the interests of a decent subset.

Americans don’t generally think in golden rule terms like “Whatever benefits the most workers is best for the country.”

I’d personally have to be shown evidence that a sizable portion of all these excessive (compared to manufacturing costs) profits are NOT lining the pockets of the rich before I would give out any economics gold stars.

I like the aldi model with no bags—when you forget a bag you look for an empty box. Not ideal for people who walked though.

Modern SUVs will already crush the smaller cars, don’t have to get a special car for that

Nice! I’ve been using the clean links app on ios but this will eliminate a step.

And they only hire people who ‘fit the culture.’ No good guys with guns allowed!

Yeah and they’re constantly adding phenomenal user requested features in their updates (even for the original kickstarter device that I have). A libgen app would be convenient!
