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...

Some people who are for unions and against being able to pay people based on their competence instead of seniority say "I really don’t care to play 'who deserves a minimum quality of life'."

Reality doesn’t care whether you care to play or not.

There’s a limited amount of resources, you can’t hire everyone on Earth, you can’t give everyone an unlimited salary. Everything past that you’re making decisions as to who gets what.

And by the way, if you make enough poor decisions eventually everyone loses their jobs.

76 counts for Trump, 0 counts for Ghislane Maxwell's clients.

Of course its purely political.

SAP must hire the best call girls to jump heads of IT departments... There's no other explanation for so many big companies going with such a shitty product.

England: beware. Mongolia: all good!

Wtf Germany?

It just occurred to me that now Trudeau will know what it feels like to have someone take half of his income

"Oh! We were going to take over the country, but then they threatened to stop sending free money so that totally changes everything"

Shouldn't it be "touch grace"?

I didn't think two massive explosions had taken out US critical infrastructure, but now I do because "fact checkers" are actively anti-fact.

In the year 3000: "no! I don't know anything about their plans.... They correctly set their robots.txt file!"

With that corset on, I think the answer to the question is simply "yes".

He looks really surprised. "Whoah. How'd I get here?"

Fighting to take defeat from the jaws of Victory at intel

>cut by hand
Scissors cutting grass

Sun Tzu says that the victorious general will win the victory first then fight the battle, and the defeated general will fight the battle first then try to win the victory.

In this context, Mike Pence is an idiot. He was the orange man's VP, and then he threw all the orange man people under the bus. So what's he got? The people who hate orange man will hate him for associating with the orange man, the people who love the orange man will hate him for betraying the orange man.

What's the victory condition here?

Notes from after the end of the world

Look how we have squandered our great bounty. :'(

I love the complete lack of self-awareness. "The thing that we're forcing everyone to do under threat of punishment is getting backlash! Clearly this is exactly like those people who forced a lot of people to do a bunch of stuff under threat of punishment!"

I mean, it's Elon Musk so don't assume it's entirely true, but if it is true, might be one of the most powerful checkmate moves I've ever seen in my life for an evil cultural movement.

They just announced a suicide hotline on 988

Which I assume is like Pizza Hotline, you just dial it up and it's at your house in 30 minutes or its free

>All mining is shockingly horrible!

Simply true.

There's a lot of people who seem to think that stuff you buy comes from magicians who conjure it from the aether, and don't think about where the raw materials come from. Whether it's steel or silicon or uranium or oil, the feats required are absurd on a scale that's impossible to wrap your head around.

The first and most important of the 3 Rs is Reduce for a good reason.
