- Comment on I Can't Drink Now Like I Used to a Few Years Ago (26M), is that Normal? 1 year ago:
It is not only rare but a red flag if you can drink like a 21 year old in your 30s and 40s. If you can drink like that in your 50s you probably have ascites.

But what about prohibition era gangsters smuggling guns cigarettes and liquor? How will we fight that scourge?

I’d rather people use it a lot, specifically to mean a man suffering from toxic femininity

No, I got called other words. Not banning them either.

I don’t buy into the concept of hate speech.

I prefer the term idiot savante

Sure but OP said 200 years ago.

Because when talking about the economics of specialty outdoor products in the US market you have to recognize that manufacturing for most US consumer products is in China. Settle down

Ah. My point was not to say that mass shootings are strictly because of advancements in firearm technology. Anyone who thinks it’s not multifactorial is a moron. But anyone who thinks the underlying technology isn’t fundamentally required for the phenomenon to occur is also a moron.
I was only responding to the fact that OP said 200 years, and just from a practical perspective 200 years ago you just couldn’t do a mass shooting. If you ask me why we didn’t have mass shootings in the 50s through 70s that’s a different question that actually gets to the point of the matter. 200 years is such a long timeframe as to be silly. Might as well ask why people didn’t send bulk emails in the 20s.

Not sure the point you’re making…

- Comment on Tech bros' attitude to female colleagues stuck in dark ages 1 year ago:
Female dominated cultural spaces are intolerable to me. Male dominated cultural spaces are intolerable to them.
It’s almost like there’s a difference in genders and maybe you should let men and women self segregate along lines of interest.
- Comment on What makes a bicycle so expensive? 1 year ago:
I don’t understand the sarcasm here. My comment was perfectly relevant to the OPs question. Yours sounds condescending. Are you being condescending? Because that’s not very nice. I eat the rude.
- Comment on What makes a bicycle so expensive? 1 year ago:
I put it to you that $100 buys more bike in China than it does in the US.
- Comment on What makes a bicycle so expensive? 1 year ago:
The answer is economy of scale, the collapse of the American manufacturing industry, bloated budgets, especially brand/marketing budgets, and the prices set by OEM manufacturers who themselves have bloated budgets. A lot of these brands arent actually manufacturers but middlemen for manufacturers. They do design, service, marketing and maybe assembly. But manufacturing is primarily done overseas. If it’s manufactured domestically the labor and material costs are commensurate. Maybe the frame is made domestically, maybe not.
A perfectly decent bicycle is less than $100 in China.
- Comment on YouTube Is Monetizing Human Suffering at an Open Air Drug Market 1 year ago:
It’s literally and demonstrably raising awareness. So the fuck what if it’s exlploitative, tons of much more important stuff is.
The reason this is even in the newsfeed is intersectionality, not substance.
- Comment on YouTube Is Monetizing Human Suffering at an Open Air Drug Market 1 year ago:
If profiting from raising awareness is morally wrong then don’t donate to any charities either.

SIMPLE?
by all means, go right ahead. lol

I think at the high level it’s the military industrial senatorial complex, the deregulation and reagonomics under Republicans, the neoliberalism under democratic, globalization, de-industrialization, the modern banking/credit system, the modern media complex, and personalized engagement algorithms… Downstream of that is a high rate of poverty, debt, illiquidity, a poor healthcare system, reliance on jobs for affordable healthcare, a lack of access to robust mental health treatment, modernization of weaponry, a radicalized and angry society, collapsing social cohesion, division along small tribal lines, lacl of patriotism, and upregulation of the average amygdala. Downstream of that you have homelessness, addiction, mental health crisises, violence, suicide, murder, and the institutional inertia that makes these intergenerational problems.
We need a modern Robespierre. A charismatic leader to lead the public by uniting them rather than dividing them, who will make such massive changes that they’ll come for his head.
