Kyle Gass makes an edgy joke and he gets canceled. This fucker calls for literal civil war and it's considered business as usual. Got it.

I feel like a lot of people confuse feminism for straight up misandry. #killallmen? #maletears? These were started by so called "feminists" but this is the definition of misandry.

And people wonder why young men don't like feminism when this might have been their only exposure to it.

You don't need to get married or have kids to have a happy and fulfilling life

I'll believe it when it happens. I can only get my hopes up so many times

There's an idea about "autistic ai" or something where you give ai an objective like "get a person from point a to b as fast as you can" and the ai goes so fast the g force kills the person but the ai thinks it was a success because you never told it to keep the person alive.

Though I suppose that's more human error. Something we take as a given but a machine will not.

"People work in roles they don't care about, for companies they have no investment in, to pay loans they shouldn't have."

That sounds like a fight club quote lol. I know you didn't say "loans they shouldn't have" but the cost of college is just stupidly high. It doesn't have to be free but come on.

It's because video games turned into investment vehicles where companies want to make at least 50% return on their investment instead of create a fun and engaging peice of entertainment.

God this guy is so out of touch

They tried tax incentives, workplace daycare, changing laws, literally everything besides making a society conducive to raising kids lol

What's the point of even having them if the police can just decide not to release the footage then?

Well when most employers can fire you at any time for almost any reason (at-will employment) and your healthcare is tied to your job then.... yeah, employers can treat their employees pretty poorly and get away with it, especially if you work in something like fast food or big box retail where plenty of young, unskilled workers are entering the workforce every year that they can replace you with.

"Sir, our youth unemployment rate is 25%! What should we do?"

"Easy, just stop reporting it. If we don't know what it is then it's not a problem we have to deal with"

Brilliant

Not just someone, the legendary philosopher Diogenes. One of my favorites stories is that one day he was cleaning veggies in a river or something, when Plato walked up and was like "You know Diogenes, if only you could pay taxes to the king you wouldn't have to wash vegetables." And Diogenes responds, "You know Plato, if only you could wash vegetables you wouldn't have to pay taxes to the king."

Read somewhere they target places that are easy/defenseless/won't give resistance. They target schools, churches, shopping centers, all places with little to no ability to fight back against someone with a gun. Life/society has been cruel to them so they want to return that cruelty to society.

But as someone else said it's not always rational stuff going thru these people's minds.

Pasta la vista

Did they not learn when they tried cracking down on undocumented workers and there was nobody there to pick up the jobs so their food literally rotted in the field??

Monday morning, my alarm goes off. As I reach to turn it off I see a bright pink teddy bear standing at my bedside. Before I can react it blasts me in the face with a ray of pure happiness as I forget that wages have not been keeping pace with productivity or inflation.

Ok I'll try to explain it. Imagine before if your company had 100 people and they all needed offices so you rent a place that has 100 offices.

Now you switch to work from home and let's say only 20 people really need office space since the other 80 can just work from home.

Why would you continue to rent the building with 100 offices? You wouldn't. Instead you find a place with maybe 30 max. And you're not the only company doing this too.

So now nobody really wants or needs huge office spaces and the people who own these have trouble finding new tenants, demand isn't very high so they'll have to lower prices. That's what people refer to, since the value of these buildings is partially based on the income they can produce. If that goes down then so does the overall value of the building.

It doesn't hurt the employer unless they themselves just spent A TON of money building their own huge building. Then it would be mostly empty and a huge waste of money so it would look bad.

Came here after the API bullshit. Takes a little getting used to but it scratches that same itch

So this would come with a hazard pay increase since they have to carry live firearms right?... right?...

It's cozy here :)

So this is what our politicians work on all day....

Send those letters to a cops wife or daughter and I guarantee they do something

Lol as if medical bills won't wipe out most of their wealth before they can pass it on

They signed up to abuse power and be bullies not put their life on the line to protect people.

This is the answer. Its simple but not easy. Do you think the average person knows what they're spending money on each month? And how much? One chick I knew was spending almost $500 a month dining out!! A MONTH!

It is difficult to not have any "fun" purchases tho, nearly impossible imo. But you have to have spending discipline and next to no people have that.

But let's say everyone stops spending on non essentials, taken to its conclusion that would leave only grocery stores, dr offices, mechanics, and banks left to do business lol maybe a few others.

A lot of people have given good answers but I'll throw in an anecdote.

Growing up my dad would talk about how important it is to follow laws. Don't do drugs, don't drink and drive, etc, but even the smaller ones like don't jay-walk and never litter.

On a car ride I noticed he was going like 5 mph over the speed limit and I pointed it out. Something like "if its important to follow every law why are you breaking the speed limit".

And he responded something about how it's not an actual law but a recommended speed or something. But I kept saying it was a law and he was breaking it. He got pretty upset and finally said if I didn't drop he'd take away my Gameboy for a weekend or something.

It could've been he was just annoyed his kid wouldn't shut up but it seems like textbook cognitive dissonance that he couldn't reconcile the two ideas that every law should be followed and it's ok to break the speed limit a little and it got him upset.

For real. At least the odds aren't explicitly against you like casinos.

Honestly. How do they still have customers?? Are the majority of consumers just accepting this?

Proto-brain rot lol

Why not give people actual hope for the future if that's the problem?

It was either that or they start charging. They're gonna piss people of either way but at least it's still free.
