@alex Turn on your AC to dehumidify, but keep the temperature knob somewhat on the warm setting.
@AstaMcCarthy @aral I'm always a huge fan of forcing poor people to choose between heat and food while not affecting rich people at all.
They can just sit back and think about their crime of being poor. Maybe they'll make the moral choice and die of starvation or freezing and help save the planet! That way the clearly morally superior rich and powerful people can have more to consume without the poors getting in the way!

@metokurist Wasn't until Jordan Peterson explained it in detail that I got how it worked. Since capitalism makes people so much better off and communism was proven to make people so much worse off, they had to switch tack and instead of focusing on class warfare between the rich and the poor they focused on warfare between races, sexes, gender identities, etc. and just rejiggered their existing bad ideas to match that instead.
Ironically, even that isn't working well. As we see, latinos, asians, even arabs and some blacks are slowly being considered "white" because the fact that they're able to succeed damages the narrative.

I shall continue to pursue social justice and let marginalized people test.... I mean take with no strings attached.... My dose of the untested liability waived vaccine

The correct word to use is "Jews" talking about a plural of Jew. The apostrophe is used when sounds or letters are being skipped such as "where is" becoming "where's" or "where did" becoming "where'd". In the alternative, you can sometimes use an apostrophe as a possessive, such as writer's tears.
The caption using the one syntax would be interpreted as "goodbye jew is goodbye" which isn't meaningful, or "goodbye to the goodbye owned by the jews" which is a bizarre statement.
Moreover, nouns and adjectives referring to religious or national groups are always capitalized in English.
So as a grammar Nazi I have no choice but to invade Poland.

@alex Unlike most prejudices, misogyny will increase once you lose your virginity and spend more time around women.
If this guy thinks he's going to become less toxic once he gets laid, then the blackest pill for him will be pink.
(No offense, ladies. You know I love you)

@eff Everyone supported xmpp, right up until everyone got off of xmpp, then nobody supported xmpp.
"I've been killing slimes for 300 years and maxxed out my level" is an anime this season. I read a few of the light novels, it's incredibly wholesome. I'm looking forward to some wholesome fun!
@fribbledom Consumer grade electric cars.
As soon as the first wave of "Hey, you have to buy a used car worth of new batteries or you can park that car forever" kicks in, I suspect that'll be that.

@openscience I find that journal articles are written in a style that should be embarrassing to anyone who wants to advance science.
Even within my specialization, the language is so intentionally obtuse that sometimes you'll be three quarters through an article and suddenly realize they're explaining something really basic in a really complicated way.
Sometimes complicated subjects require complicated language to explain, but that's not how these are written. They're written specifically to be complicated first. No wonder there's a crisis in science.

@mnswpr They definitely aren't. Have you seen where the historical aryans came from? protip: Not Germany.
I've said it before, and I'm going to say it again: inflation is here, the next step is interest rates start to rise a lot to deal with all of this inflation, make sure that your variable rate debts are paid off and if you have a mortgage that is about to renew renew it now while mortgage rates are at their lowest point in history, and renew for a long time. Interest rates are going to skyrocket, and the last time that this happened in the 1970s a lot of people had to give back their cars and give back their homes and were very badly hurt. By contrast, if your debt is fixed rate and all this happens while wages are going up and prices are going up, it's basically like a gift from the banks. Fixed rate is usually higher than variable rate, and that's for a reason. It's an insurance policy against higher interest rates in the future. With most rates near zero and at the lowest rates of history now is the time to lock in. Everybody always gets pissed off at the baby boomers because "they had it so easy" not as many people realize the incredible period of pain they had to go through in order for their $2,000 house to become a $500,000 house.
In my country there are no subsidized 30-year loans, and in fact the highest normal interest rate that people get is usually 5 years. I got a 10-year mortgage locked in because that's what I think is coming (after 10 years the interest rates go up too much to justify) and I also greatly decrease my amortization from 25 years to 15 years so that even if I turn out to be right and interest rates start to rise dramatically I can just start doubling up my payments about 5 years from now and still end up never having to pay the higher interest rates.
We can either choose to plan for the likely events in the future, or we can choose to grit our teeth and curse fate when it finally happens.
