Yeah, they imprisoned a Chinese UFC fighter who said he could beat any traditional Chinese martial artist because their kung fu doesn’t work in the real world.

They agreed to set up the match and when he, predictably, beat the living shit out of the spiritual mumbo jumbo guy, over and over again, they claimed he intentionally dishonored China and tried to lock him up.

Not to be confused with the great Emu War of 1932, which was the Australian Military vs Some Emus.

The Emus won.

Then we get to wait for the real once in a lifetime event.

Which is extinction.

You’re thinking of the statistic that people have killed more cows than sharks, which is not true. Shark is the chicken of the sea

It reduces spending, because saving is now exceedingly optimal.

Less spending means inflation generally comes down because companies lower prices to meet the lack of demand.

But yes, too high and it can cause even worse inflation, assuming an even capital distribution among the people.

Yeah, admittedly, those two things are annoying.

I haven’t personally experienced the adblocker thing though, I suspect it’s not intentional, but I’m purely speculating there.

The censoring thing I have run into, and it is very irritating, so I’m with you on that.

Their account deletion policy aside, Crunchyroll is like one of the last remaining bastions of solid streaming for a very reasonable price that hasn’t increased in many years.

There’s plenty of streaming services to cancel and switch to piracy on legitimately, I don’t personally believe Crunchyroll to be one of them.

I see someone has been reading Sapiens.

This is what i own. Amazing printer

This right here. There are no good participants in religion. Everyone participating, no matter their intent or actions, is s part of the problem. Because they enable the bad behavior by supporting the underlying common beliefs and adding some degree of legitimacy to this.

It’s the same problem with ACAB

Unless…

That’s our bar here? That someone who has put in years and years of hard Dev effort, every day, built up a community, took risks, etc, should just be happy he has food on the table?

Fuck that noise. I don’t care if he’s already s multi millionaire, he can charge whatever he wants, and we can choose to pay it or not. The man is running a business model here. He’s not done weekend warrior FOSS hacker. He deserves to be paid for his efforts.

That’s insane. How in the world do they rationalize that to themselves?

Well, you see, money.

Because they’ve benefited significantly from the results. Generational wealth for white Americans is significantly higher than black Americans because of this very thing.

They want to keep that flowing and avoid being told that they’ve had a leg up on almost half the population because of what their ancestors did.

If we don’t make changes, it is catastrophic.

Saying the ship you’re on is taking in water and likely going to sink, is still a very important piece of information to communicate, even if nobody has a bilge pump on hand.

Some people are ignoring the evidence of water pouring into the holds of our ship and screaming that we’re not sinking, and that’s causing a lot of confusion. Confusion that’s keeping us from coordinating properly on how best to keep the ship afloat.

Even if we don’t manage to save the ship, keeping it floating as long as possible gives us more opportunities to be rescued.

It’s an old trick from soldiers
