Live, from the DNC headquarters, their plan for slowing climate change somewhat by 2150:

trump can’t be voted anymore

For now…

Martin Shkreli?

Hooray! I was getting worried that ANY of the components of my desktop PC would be affordable to replace when it becomes necessary! 🤦🤬

And regular eggs are minieggs who have eaten too much chicken

This makes me long for the good old days when the See Also section of the Wikipedia article for recursion included a link to recursion

If you want to see humorlessness incarnate, check out the handful of people vehemently opposing reintroducing it on the talk page…

Literally I can’t think of a single big problem we’re facing where this isn’t the case

I’m almost positive that the lackluster season of Liverpool FC can’t be attributed to politics in general or economics in particular.

Granted, most people wouldn’t consider my favorite sportball team not playing well to be a major problem, but that’s just because most people are wrong 🤷

they could just quit that arrangement.

Yeah, because they can just choose to forego unnecessary luxuries such as checks notes everything that costs money, which is checks notes everything needed to survive 🙄

Its right in the contract.

In some cases, even THAT’S not strictly true: a lot of contracts (employment or otherwise) include clauses heavily penalizing early termination by the employee and/or noncompete clauses basically forcing them to stay, start a career in an entirely different field, or go without income for a significant amount of time.

Self employment is an option you know?

If you’re rich enough and have the necessary skills, which can be extremely expensive in several ways.

Most new businesses operate at a loss for the first several years.

If you can’t afford personally covering those deficit or have good enough connections with rich people willing to cover them in exchange for your soul and your first born child a share of future profits and control over the direction of the company, self-employment is an express route to personal bankruptcy.

you can obviously easily do it yourself

No. You don’t get to be smugly sarcastic and either colossally ignorant or willfully lying about everything. Bad bootlicker! Bad!

Being a business owner and employing people and ensuring their families are regularly fed is fucking hard at times

Which is one of the reasons why employment ISN’T actually voluntary in the case of the vast majority of people.

Feels especially hard when somebody shits on you for wanting to feed your own kids too

Fun fact: you can feed your kids without blatantly exploiting the labor of others to do so.

You can also argue your point without a plethora of strawmen, oversimplifications, and outright lies. Ok, maybe YOU specifically can’t, but most people have that ability.

You’re thinking of anarcho-capitalism. While also a far right ideology, it’s very much a different pile of shit than fascism is.

No parking, no woman, no cry!

Ah! Should have caught that since it’s something I love doing myself 😄

…huh?

I’m not sure “ethnostate” isn’t some fucking used-car-lot buzzword

Allow me to put you at ease, then: it’s not.

An ethnostate is a country that enforces by law the supremacy of one ethnicity at the expense of all others.

Examples other than Israel include Nazi Germany, Apartheid South Africa, most of the former Yugoslavian Republics during the war in the 90s, as well as current day countries such as several Muslim/Arab majority countries, Hungary, Russia, Belarus, and increasingly the US.

Shitposts and Linux

Please elaborate.

Same thing if you ask MSM-poisoned people if they think ethnostates are inherently unjust and dysfunctional without first mentioning that Israel is one.

how is “I had this idea, I don’t want to make it, but want to stop others from making it” good?

It isn’t under ANY circumstances and to think so without being the patent trolling asshole yourself is some Stockholm syndrome level simping for the overlords.

Used to be called patent trolling, but now that all the big corporations that own the politicians deciding patent law are doing it, it’s considered “prudent business practice”

IBM alone files more patents that they’ll never use (except for lawsuits in case someone else does something useful with something similar) in a year than most companies file IN TOTAL for several decades.
