I am your father… you piece of shit

What’s really crazy is when you spend a ton of time editing an image because you think the idea is funny and the post goes nowhere. Then you repost some bullshit and it makes front page.

Complaining about the rules is, ironically, against the rules. I found that out the hard way.

I never said we should have zero debt, that’s a strawman. Most economist recommend a moderate amount of debt due to various positive effects (some of which you mention). So the real disagreement comes here:

It’s all connected and that’s why running a deficit, a (relatively) small one, is a good thing.

The implication being that you think the U.S. has a (relatively) small amount of debt. Now, I am willing to be convinced otherwise, but I do not think that the U.S. currently has a small amount of debt. Our debt to GDP ratio is higher than other developed nations, which is concerning.

I do concede that we aren’t in danger of a debt crisis on the scale of Greece or Sri Lanka. But ~$34 Trillion in debt needs to be part of the discussion when we keep praising the economy.

My experience has been the opposite. Lemmings take everything too seriously.

Damn, TIL “Typoglycaemia”.

And republicans, the “Law and Order” party, will still vote for this man.

Lotta BIG QWERTY’s on Lemmy

edit: I thought you were using ‘QWERTY’ as a pejorative term for ‘know-it-all’. Turns out you actually mean the keyboard.

Bookpilled. If you’re into science fiction books, he’s a great YouTuber to check out.

edit: Also, he does extra videos on his Patreon. But if you don’t like him try Outlaw Bookseller and Media Death Cult.

The average voter pays zero attention to politics but has very strong opinions about what a politician has or hasn’t done.

This only proves that the ideal relationship is one without the compilations of sex. Checkmate natalists.

I really hate text articles that end up being a podcast. Feels like a bait and switch.

Great ideas. Too bad our politicians don’t listen to us.

Well I suppose it depends on your views of consciousness. Some would argue that our consciousness is nothing more than an emergent phenomenon grounded on the electrical impulses of our neurons. Personally, I’m convinced that the phenomenon need not be physical. It should be possible, with enough computing power, to model the same interactions. But I admit that if you reject this possibility, then the simulation hypothesis loses credence.
