so i was just walking to the nearest supermarket when the supermarket radio (they usually play music) calmly announced “for the next week, we expect a warm 35°C” … wtf

you are an economist. eliminating zoning laws and HOAs would make construction of houses cheaper, saving lots of people lots of money, but the construction companies would be less profitable. do you argue in favor of unnecessarily complex building codes sothat the company stays profitable at the expense of the population?

you posted this article twice. delete this one and keep the other one.

eh, money is supposed to represent resources, and saying that money = hours, is to say that there is no other resource besides human labor. there is land usage, plant growth, mineralic reservoirs, etc.

ah shit i have the perfect meme for this but i can’t find it.

it’s a boot (microsoft, apple, etc.) and the snake exclaims “at least it isn’t the goberment”

how do you know that the books aren’t mind-washing by the CIA?

you can stop in many models by letting the hot air out (partially)

yeah but what if it isn’t called “hours”?

thanks for the nuanced response, i will take it to heart.

ok, thanks, i’ll keep it in mind

I think this may have just happened to you OP. That’s not a common way to see children.

i don’t see it that way, but a lot of people in the US seem to, at least from what i can see. see my other comment for explanation.

Tons of people have kids, tons of people want kids. The idea of ‘you’re a child’ being the worst insult is baffling, honestly.

yeah tbf i’ve never set foot in the US; i get this notion from social media, movies, books, etc.

wait let me record a 10 second sequence of a movie.

(the video should have audio, in case it doesn’t play, a download should do it)

anyways the woman says “have you ever considered that you’re wrong? hah, of course not! you’re a child.” upon which the other person freaks out. which i have seen sooo many times in pieces of media (especially from the US)

anyways, meanwhile, children can actually be really reflective and understand a lot, also when they’ve made mistakes or hurt someone. so saying that somebody is a “child” when they can’t reflect on themselves, in my opinion, is inaccurate.

this is a lot like US politics but instead of the mayor, it’s the people.

i actually have 1 mattress and 1 table in my room that’s it.

nah i’m living my own way of life.

the shakers might welcome me but i don’t welcome them at all if they don’t allow sex.

ehh, i’m particularly against any and all kinds of makeup and earrings.

the reason isn’t even so much with how it looks, but for different reasons.

young women are told that they aren’t beautiful when they don’t wear makeup. then the makeup store sells them makeup. the young women go out, and if they make positive experiences, they subconsciously attribute it to the makeup. “well i did my makeup properly, of course i’m making positive experiences”

instead, if there was no makeup at all, they would still make positive experiences, but attribute it to themselves / other people around them, instead of to the glorious company that sold you the product that makes you worthy of love and attention.
