Advocate for freedom and tolerance even if you say things I do not like

Adversary of Fediblock

Accept that I'll probably say something you don't like and I'll give you the same benefit, and maybe we can find some truth about the world.

Ah... Is the Alliteration clever or stupid? Don't answer that, I sort of know the answer already...

On the internet everyone knows you're a dog because you never shut the fuck up about it

Desu threats on my fediverse? It's more likely than you think.

Kanye was lured into his trap. Poor Kanye!

This game was so much fun when I made all the prompts into gay jokes.

Why yes, I am a 12 year old from 1985, why do you ask?

AI generated advice.

Seems legit, but you should actually go. Losing your teeth sucks.

Controlling the means of production inevitably means that the same thing happens just in a different way. The method that is most likely to work would be having sound money.

In the us, the Constitution doesn't even allow for the monetary system that exists. Paper is not allowed as money, central banks aren't allowed to be the money printers, only gold and silver are allowable as currency. You can definitely make an argument that maybe gold and silver aren't the ideal solution, but it's a start.

For now, rising interest rates are actually going to help. A lot of prices are only being bid up because there's so much money trying to find a limited amount of growth, in part because actual inflation is very high and has been for a long time due to excess money printing. It'll hurt, but it should drive asset prices down and focus investing on things that provide value rather than just things that are going to go up because they go up because everyone has extra money and they're all investing in the same thing at once.

Oof. Imagine having an entire industry whose products are just bad...

The joke only works if you're old and know what this means

Chinese Manhwa is hilarious sometimes...

Journalists used to be highly respected, but they sold that respect for a few pieces of silver.

The perpetuation of these zombie companies or just bad companies means that actually productive companies don't have access to people, material, and so on and so forth.

It's inflationary beyond the monetary effect because we're taking our best and brightest, and limited natural resources and instead of using them to create important things, we've got them working on chat apps.

SAP: Not even once.

Central banking: Not even once

My girlfriend and I were considering getting married. I was looking at these $6000 synthetic diamond, but then she opened up her avon book and said "I want this one" pointing at a cheap cubic zirconia ring.

Wifed her right up.

Unfortunately you might be right. Overly charitable by assuming it's not being done exactly on purpose.

A gentle reminder that Justice Sotomayor thinks that when a human body generates something, it's like a machine that can be regulated.

Because she's stupid.

Thanks Elon! (Oh wait it was already like this)

Update on CAT: The Trump Product, Everybody Likes.

It's Chinese. Like suuuuuper chinese. The buttons are chinese. The roman alphabet is in Chinese. You need to press the 开关按钮 to get it to do anything.

I know some Chinese folks, I'll be letting them have Cat: The trump product, everybody likes.

Gonna get banned for this, people have strong opinions about Germans with strong opinions!

No, that guy wasn't German.

In the end, we both know the game was rigged from the start.
