- Comment on JP Morgan boss Jamie Dimon sounds warning on US stock market fall 1 day ago:
but insisted he thought the Federal Reserve would remain independent, despite repeated attacks by the Trump administration on its chair Jerome Powell.
So he’s a fucking idiot?

It is difficult to think of how they could coexist.
By not being dicks…
It’s that easy, to coexist they just need to stop being dicks. And the way to get them to stop being dicks, is by being dicks to them.
When it’s everyone against a couple dicks, they’re pressured to at least fake being decent.
Let them go wild, and normal people see there’s no consequences to being a dick, and they act like dicks too.
It’s insanely simple. Everyone just needs to agree that as long as no one is harming anyone else, it’s cool. And the only thing that’s not cool, is fucking with someone else.
- Comment on [Politics Warning] Make Armus Great Again 1 day ago:
Can’t tolerate the intolerant.
They don’t deserve a right to coexist, because they’re actively working against other’s right to coexist
- Comment on Dog attacks are still rising - even after the XL bully ban 1 day ago:
No shit…
Because breed specific banning doesn’t work.
Problematic owners will just go back to dobermans, or one of the shit ton of speciality breeds with an even stronger bite.
I’ll never understand why so many people fall for breed specific bans when the Venn diagram with racists’ arguments are a single circle.

Context.
Some obscure question that’s been unanswered for months?
Sure, why not.
A political article that’s a couple days old and has a shit ton of comments tho… Yeah, it’s weird for people to jump back into those.
But the absolute worst that will happen is someone down votes and blocks you. Most likely they ignore it, maybe ask what you’re doing
It’s not a big deal.

- Comment on do you remember a time when societies were so polarized and shifted so much to the right like today? How long did it last? 5 days ago:
The problem is they’ll always be shitty fascists who think they should be in charge of everything.
And the majority of people only realize how bad that is when they lived thru it.
For an enduring free society, it needs to be a foundational belief that everyone is equal and has basic inalienable rights…
And before anyone says we tried that, their “everyone” was just “white landowning men”.
- Comment on Populist billionaire Andrej Babiš wins Czech parliamentary election 5 days ago:
By definition of “populist” it’s literally impossible to be one and a billionaire.
Anyone telling you someone can be both is lying to you.
Either to get you to support the liar, or to poison you’re mind against the very word “populism”
- Comment on Everybody is fine with celebrities like Whoopi Goldberg making up fake names for themselves, but when someone chooses a name for themselves to suit their gender identity it's suddenly a problem 5 days ago:
Yet I wouldn’t exactly call seeing an Asian person “rare”.
You didn’t need to tell me that you also didn’t know the definition of the word “minority”…
But you did

I’ve worked with very low functioning populations before and this shit really tries my patience more than my clients did back in the day…
But yeah man, it’s a spectrum. And when you strip out all the facial/tonal cues and general body language…
Yeah, everyone is going to act like the people who can’t pick up on that stuff. Because none of us can pick up on it on message boards.
Hell, think about the “/s” and how people would react if the majority insisted everyone literally say “I’m done being sarcastic now”.
Obviously you’re going to see parallels in communication issues.

Shoe companies that they don’t need to fear bubble bursts, and they’re make bigger bubbles.
We’d have been better off letting the 08 crash eat all the corporations. Instead we gave them the money they used to buy up finate resources we have to rent from them.

So…
You think 31% is “everyone” like OP said?
Because if you disagree with both of us, it makes no fucking sense to criticize the person who was off by 59%…

I think you might be confusing our political system for a democratic one…
A minority of the populace voted for what’s happening these days. The majority of people just don’t give a shit, they’re fine with people living how they want.
It’s an important distinction, because the bigots always want the targeted minority to view all of the majority as an enemy.
If battle lines are just “bigots” vs “non bigots” then the bigots lose every fucking time. That’s why they always try to make it “majority” vs “minority”, dont let them do that. And definitely don’t help them do that with posts like OPs and comments like yours
Don’t get outsmarted by stupid fucking bigots. A lot depends on it now.
- Comment on Everybody is fine with celebrities like Whoopi Goldberg making up fake names for themselves, but when someone chooses a name for themselves to suit their gender identity it's suddenly a problem 6 days ago:
Not really.
The people who have an issue with that, don’t have an issue with Rafael Cruz making up a white name.
They just don’t like people transitioning.
You’re implying transphobia is a common view.

Same as trump talking about removing the requirement for quarterly reports. He’s doing a shit job and wants as little information about it out there as possible

You realize Biden was president for four years and failed to hold trump accountable which is why Trump was able to run a second time …
Right?

The person in between the Nazi’s terms who didn’t fucking do anything to prevent the second …
How the fuck did you have to ask that?
And why can’t you realize if you can miss as obvious shit as this, you’re probably missing more you haven’t realized yet?
- Comment on America could have avoided all of this with a functional justice system 1 week ago:
The fucked up thing is in 08 Obama could have got a progressive DNC chair…
But he just ignored the DNC out of spite, which is why in 2016 they were broke and took Hillary’s deal for funding in exchange for complete control over the DNC.
Voters did our part and elected Obama, and then he fucked us
- Comment on America could have avoided all of this with a functional justice system 1 week ago:
We fucking tried telling everyone Biden wasn’t good enough, no neoliberal is good enough to have a D by their name.
Theyre conservatives who oppose change, but without all the stupid racist shit conservative voters want.
So don’t blame it on us “as a country” blame it on the the people that kept shoving neo liberals down our throats as the only other option.
It’s not some impossible task, the freaking DNC already kicked neo liberals to the curb, Schumer and Jeffries are coasting off their votes happening before the DNC vote, if it was the other way around wed have real leadership in the Senate/House already

- Comment on In space, nobody can hear your construction noise. 1 week ago:
Kind of like a fish saying nobody can live on land…
Space is really close to empty, but it’s not empty.
If something evolved to live in space, it would have ridiculously sensitive hearing to compensate.
In 2022, NASA released a spectacular example of sound in space. It used X-ray data to make an audible recording that represents the way a massive black hole stirs up plasma in the Perseus galaxy cluster, 250 million light years from Earth. The black hole itself emits no sound, but the diffuse plasma around it carries very long wavelength sound waves.
The natural sound is far too low a frequency for the human ear to hear, 57 octaves below middle C, which is the middle note on a piano and in the middle of the range of sound people can hear. But after raising the frequency to the audible range, the result is chilling – it’s the sound of a black hole growling in deep space.

Just because humans can’t hear construction noise in space, doesn’t mean it won’t piss of the neighbors
- Comment on Ford CEO on his ‘epiphany’ after talking to his Gen Z factory workers: ‘They were saying [they] had to have three jobs’ | Fortune 1 week ago:
Before anyone brings up how Ford himself paid his factory workers twice the average wage…
It came with strings:
The $5-a-day rate was about half pay and half bonus. The bonus came with character requirements and was enforced by the Socialization Organization. This was a committee that would visit the employees’ homes to ensure that they were doing things the “American way.” They were supposed to avoid social ills such as gambling and drinking. They were to learn English, and many (primarily the recent immigrants) had to attend classes to become “Americanized.” Women were not eligible for the bonus unless they were single and supporting the family. Also, men were not eligible if their wives worked outside the home.

Which, considering he was a Nazi, would be like if Musk ran a similar system today.

Be cool. And they’ll tell the other birds you’re cool.

Bruh…
they view everyone around them as competition
How often do you think billionaires interact with an average American who isn’t an employee?
Like. They probably don’t even interact with employees of companies, they have personal shoppers and assistants who actually as a buffer.
You think Warren Buffet or Elmo talk to random ass people at Starbucks?
Their never within arms reach of a normal.person.
We’re not labor to them, we’re not a resource, we’re an abject concept they literally just don’t think about. We don’t exist to them as individuals.
- Comment on What, greedy, powerful people would do to keep and increase their power in a world that is approaching a period of increasing weather disasters? Would a post-scarcity society benefit those people? 1 week ago:
Your problem is you’re thinking of them as one united group cooperating for what is best for all of them long-term…
If billionaires could think like that, they wouldn’t be billionaires.
We need to start acknowledging that its mental illness to put wealth above everything else to the level of becoming a billionaire.
None of them are in their right minds, and they view everyone around them as competition. They’ll burn the whole planet down if it makes them think it’ll increase their net worth and move them up the list, if it it results in a lower quality of life for themselves, that’s not their motivation.
If they wanted a better life they’d retire and enjoy their hoarded wealth, but they literally can’t stop hoarding because it’s a mental illness.
