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...

C'mon man, sell your kids into slavery man! It feels great! You don't gotta pay for nothing! And they smell great, man!

Lol It wouldn't be that hard if they wanted to. But they don't want to. That's why they pretend to care about alphabet people, so they can keep on doing slavery.

I don't think the Chinese have the Catholic guilt westerners do.

Honestly, if you actually look at what they say, it's clear they have some horrendous attitudes towards people they claim to represent.

The feminine urge to threaten not to have sex with men who don't want to have sex with you in the first place

Imagine not wearing a hat...

Ah, finished the latest volume of 100 million year button on the day it came out. Now I need to wait until October for the next one! (Le sob)

One thing I'm a bit annoyed at is there's a character who can lock the MC in a dimension for 100 years, and he can train in there happily. I keep wishing the MC would take advantage of that and train for another 100 years after advancing all his skills through plot progression!

Another book of 100 million year button released today! I enjoy the stories of this guy and his superhumanly autistic dedication to hard work to make up for the fact that he's superhumanly shitty at the thing he wants to do.

Every time someone calls something verifiably true a far right-wing conspiracy theory, it cements "far right conspiracy theory" as a code phrase for "true statement".

Do what you want, but consider that there are consequences to tying those two phrases together. Some things in that box should not be legitimized in such a way.

Trudeau's mental healthcare plan: "kill urself lol"

Trudeau's homelessness plan: "kill urself lol"

Not even a joke or a meme!

Unfortunately, that's the thing with debt: it feels great when you're racking it up but feels like shit when you're paying for it.

The most evil thing is when people go "so it'll hurt so let's never balance the budget or pay down the debt ever". Because there's no such thing as never in this case. If we don't do it, our kids will have to do it, or our kids kids. This is why I call going into debt the way we do "selling our kids into slavery", because they have to work and suffer because we refuse to.

Whether we like it or not, when dealing with deficits as large as any given western country operates under, it is a requirement that not only should the spending be cut, but also that taxes rise. People don't want to pay higher taxes (I sure don't), but it's the consequence of excess government spending.

The most effective way to implement a tax immediately that would bring in the sort of revenue required that wouldn't be immediately dodged would be a sales tax. You could exempt many basics such as groceries, rent/homes, and bills for personal consumption, but leave it for everything else. In that way you can try to limit the immediate impact on people's essentials despite it being a broad tax. Such taxes do bring in massive revenue, which is good because that's what's required to get back to 0.

The threat on the table with respect to the debt ceiling is default on the national debt.

There's no need to default on the national debt.

Let's say your credit card company calls and says they're freezing your card and you can't spend more money on credit. What happens then? Well, you can decide you're going to default and not pay your bills, but for me, that happened, and what I did wasn't defaulting, I cut my phone, I cut my Internet, I cut my food bill, and then I was able to make my critical payments and pay my debts.

No lie, I tried this on someone and the above is what they drew.

It's a fundamentally different way of thinking that doesn't require that sort of practical thinking.

This is the incorrect answer it's looking for. It isn't about getting exactly the right level, it's about realizing that liquid will always be horizontal because it's affected by gravity.

For people who claim to hate lynch mobs, leftists sure love participating in them.

The brotherhood of peel

CURSE YOU, FUNGIBLE COMMODITIES, FOR BEING SO DARN FUNGIBLE!

To be fair though, micro plastics were already something the experts were concerned about in the ocean water, so this is just taking them to the next level.

That's one of the things that I find most frustrating about this whole conspiracy theory meme, is that a lot of the things that the so-called far right is conspiracy theorizing about are things that they learned from the left. Then suddenly they embrace it and it's like "oh, that? No, that was a conspiracy theory. We never talked about that"

"I'm just telling you that I am a very superstitious fast food item, and if any act of God were to unexpectedly occur that were to negatively affect the mcfish, I may take that as a sign that you were somehow involved."
