This is the second time you posted it in this thread even lmao

Idk if oil being negative was a good thing per se. It was a signal that the economy was suddenly grinding to a halt and energy demand was cratering.

Turns out Rosie worked for the NSA the entire time

I tend to be fairly sensitive, and I haven’t been very successful in quieting my own kneejerk defensiveness when “yes all men” and “male tears” come out. A lot of feminists are justifiably angry but I don’t have to stay in a room where I don’t feel welcome.

So I tend not to label myself a feminist even though I agree with feminists on most things. I vote for feminist candidates, I’ll defend feminism when people tell lies about it, but I can’t be a feminist myself because I can’t participate in it.

Canada does a lot of things better than we do, but all the things, really? They, too, have serious problems in their healthcare and educational systems. They’ve got severe staffing shortages in hospitals and long wait times, and their IEA scores are dropping across multiple subjects relative to international standards. Most younger working class Canadians alive today do not expect to buy a home maybe ever.

I don’t mean this as a tu quoque, we have huge problems here too and like I said Canada does a lot of things better than we do, but this kind of starry-eyed adoration can only end in disillusion.

PS don’t look up when the last documented “starlight tour” was

several reasons, but the dumbest is probably because evangelicals believe the existence of Israel is a prerequisite for the end times.

We made it lemmy

i suppose they should have just gotten bombed and done nothing

The maintainer of the project probably won’t see it here, but that repo does appear to be fairly active, they’ve got thousands of merged PRs. If you contribute a better logo they might replace the AI one.

What they are describing is a natural reduction in population that occurs automatically when countries become more economically developed. Trying to steer this is gonna have downstream impacts. You are not going to roll out these reforms everywhere all at once, so where are you going to start? Because if democracy and a global economy are still going to exist in 2200, relative population sizes matter. If, say, India develops their rural regions, does a 180 on feminism, and halves their population in the process, but Pakistan doesn’t, that’s going to have geopolitical ramifications, and not good ones. This kind of thinking scares me, no matter what the framing is. People are good, and we can have more of them, and we should have more of them. We just need to be smarter about how we use our resources.

You cannot build a policy in such a way that population halving is distributed equitably unless you run a global forced sterilization lottery. Which has its own ethical problems. Maybe we could, idk, all agree to eat beef twice a month instead of every day and stop throwing shit fits over renewables and nuclear before economics and water scarcity makes fossil fuel plants impossible to support. Just a thought.

Oh yeah? Which half? WHICH HALF MOTHERFUCKER?!?💢🪿🔪

Canola bomb is actually preferred for marketing purposes nowadays

Expose them to as much american cable news media as possible

Airdrop s billion copies of art of the deal

Pull out and focus on doing your job

oh wait that last one is too credible

Definitely tell them. You would want someone to tell you.

Not the first time…

Genovia is a critical friend and ally to the United States. I stand with Genovia, both because of our shared values, which are so fundamental to the founding of both our nations, and I believe the bonds between the people of the United States and the people of Genovia are unbreakable, and we can never let anyone drive a wedge between us.

The question itself is solid, I’ll give drunk me that, but the vagueposting attached to it does not feel good to read the day after lmfao. I participate in capitalism, is all I can come up with. But we all participate in capitalism, idk what’s embarrassing about that

I have no idea what I was asking, but it’s probably a sign to take a break from substances for a while lmao. This post is mildly embarrassing, but I’ll leave it up because I hate when people nuke their posts.

Yeah, but you said you tip 5% for below average service. Are you aware of the state of the kitchen, the state of the dish pit, or the state of the running side work at all times? Because if you’re not, you have, at some point, stiffed a competent somebody doing their level best to keep the establishment from burning to the ground.
