If you think about it, people have probably elected to be killed by their families ( and friends!) loads of times throughout history.

Well thank you for another reason not to vote Tory, Mrs Badenoch. As if it needed to be made any clearer.

I guarantee you will still want to eat some bread later, and you’ll even thank your past self for making the bread
- Comment on If one were given the option to order a Stupid Cat or a Smart Cat, the vast majority would pick the Stupid Cat despite Stupid being bad. 4 weeks ago:
I think cats might actually die more from being smart, i.e adventurous, and straying to places where no cat has ventured before

I love smart cars
- Comment on Now is a great time to try an open mic, just print out some of the Epstein emails, find some good bits and read them into a microphone! 4 weeks ago:
I feel like never before in history has it been more evident that the super elite are not having fulfilling lives themselves.
For instance: recently, Elon was slandered by some writer saying he can’t appreciate art + movies properly, and since then he’s made a big show of commenting on all the “movies” pages on X-twitter.
So performative. Like Donald Trump’s behaviour rubbed off on him.
As for the others - Bezos and Zuckerberg and more - well, they just seem to be having an awkward time whenever in the public eye. They struggle to find uses for their time and money and end up sending pop stars to the moon and such.
It’s like you said - can you imagine how unfulfilled and disconnected from real life people like Jeffrey Epstein were, to decide their effort was best spent organising an industry of kidnapping, blackmail + sexual slavery? Either the man was a demon, or he was so profoundly impotent - emotionally and conventionally - that he only got his kicks from abusing minors.
It’s definitely a warning sign to anyone still playing the capitalist game.

Haven’t read the emails yet but the “birthday book” made me feel sick. His “friends"/clients basically had a cult around him, actually worshipped him.
- Comment on We shouldn't have to go to college in order to afford a house by 30. 5 weeks ago:
When we’re at school the teachers never actually take the time to talk about:
- what non-university educated careers
- what they involve
- how to pursue trades based jobsAnd it’s weird, because I’m sure everyone would love to at least dabble in woodworking or some other form of craftsmanship. But they don’t get the chance to.
The school-university pipeline works for a lot of people, but I don’t think uni straight after school is the ideal situation for most people. It means we lose sight of what education is actually for, outside of progression to further qualifications
