"WELL I DON'T LIKE IT WHEN THEY WON'T HIRE WHITE PEOPLE WHO ARE MORE QUALIFIED"

They genuinely believe that white men are at a significant disadvantage in the workforce because DEI hires. No amount of memes or conversation will convince them how ridiculous that is.

To join the Confederacy the state had to enshrine slavery in it's constitution. It was actually giving up the right to choose.

It was slavery or union.

The South went out of it's way to make the war about slavery.

It's to get cameras thrust in their face so they ask when oil executives will face consequences.

"Is destroying art worse than destroying the whole planet???"

It's an idiotic form of protest, it accomplishes nothing but turning the public against you, and forever associating your cause with petty vandalism.

Hey I'm a terminally online leftist.

Fuck Russia, fuck China, fuck the US too. I'm not going to gaslight myself in to thinking someone else is doing it right just because the West is also fucked.

Working class people all over the planet are getting fucked by billionaires who've purchased their governments, few places are exempt from that problem.

The margins are thinner. There's almost no resale value. Someone might buy a 60k car and eat the payments for a few years, knowing that they can sell it any time for a decent price.

Buying a 60k EV is more like setting your money on fire. The car might be fine, great even, but it just won't hold it's value.

I will describe it, literally.

A man on a tiny motorcycle with a microwave on his head, closed covering his face, comes to a screeching halt in front of the camera, opening the door as he does. This reveals his face and a complicated mechanism to keep it on his head. He stands using the momentum of the motorcycle to propel him up and says, angrily "I know a lot of you hatin' motherfuckers want me to fail, but guess what? It ain't happenin! You know why? Cuz I got a motherfuckin microwave on my head!" He leans over to close the door, remounts his tiny motorcycle, and scoots away in to the city.

The insta that followed that one for me was this one, and this is singularly the most legendary thing I've ever seen another human being do

"late state capitalism disguised as uplifting news"

Movies are being made to mitigate risk. Take a polar thing and just do that again, that'll suck people in right???

God forbid they do something new and interesting with the material, that can't possibly work.

The only time I can think of where a remake ended up working out was with the recent planet of the apes movies. Where, you know, they took the premise and did something new and interesting with it. But even THEN, there was a completely different remake that failed to innovate outside of the last few minutes and those were confusing are best.

If he thinks packing boxes is skilled labor, then flipping burgers is also skilled labor.

It's just not specialized, and doesn't require any certification or further education. Which would command the premium he's thinking of.

There's a community that builds 3d printed guns, and those don't last very long either. They're not printing barrels, they're just printing the trigger housing and grip. They go out and buy the dangerous bits.

This is all a bit pointless.

Even more pointless when you consider that once you have a 3d printer, you can make a lot of the components for a second 3d printer, and go out and buy the other parts, without ever buying a 3d printer. Now you have two ghost gun machines!! Oh the horror.

This is the bigger story.
