The macroeconomics over welfare economics bias is strong.

Can confirm, I quoted and attributed them last week as well.

I'd like to encourage blocking karma farming reposters like OP to others if you'd like to keep your pipes clear.

For anyone interested compare & contrast macroeconomics vs welfare economics. The former's primary goal is to maximize production/growth whereas the latter optimizes social well-being/Pareto efficiency.

Ah, thank you! 🙌 I guess just based on all the interrupting crowd in Happy Gilmore I connected him with that movie. Thanks for clearing that up.

 

~~(To clarify I mean the original movie, not the sequel)~~

~~Isn't Knight the guy who does the cameo sarcastically saying to Happy, "Well? We're waiting..." He's not listed in the cast on IMDB (not even in the uncredited section), it's not listed on Knight's wiki (which stops at 1980's Caddyshack), and he's not listed on the Happy Gilmore wiki. I searched "Ted Knight" and "Happy Gilmore" (both in quotes) on DuckDuckGo and got nothing good. And finally Claude and Gemini both are convinced he's not in it.~~

~~I get that cameos are sometimes not listed, especially back in the 90s. But in our current age of completism I can't tell if I'm just dead wrong and it's a lookalike, or if he's just one tier more uncredited than the other uncredited actors. Someone help me out here. If there's no credible online source then at least let me know what you think. This conspiracy goes all the way to the top!!~~

~~(The image is also what I'm saying out loud as I wait for a response.)~~

Evidence that may contradict your claim is that the average worldwide IQ increases by 3 points every 10 years. So the species appears to slowly be getting smarter. Dumbness may just be more noteworthy in our culture.

 

He's focusing so hard on his themes being timeless that he's no longer challenging the audience. Which is why they're only winning visual art Oscars.

Agree to misagree. I think it's a little funny to defend her name and then pull the rug out when describing how it's appropriating an unexpected culture. I celebrate our differences.

And unless I'm mistaken Bindi Irwin is Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin (RIP)'s daughter. And her name Bindi isn't a cultural appropriation of the Indian forehead adornment, it's a celebration of the Western Australian aboriginal culture (Noongar language) word for "Little Girl" which they appropriated.

Consider me educated. Have now updated the image to the uncensored version. 🫡

The Rigors

The algorithms' twitching eye alights upon the significance of what's held back between dress and air to keep it fresh. It doesn't yet understand for whom the furtherance of continued freshness will continueth to serve, but realizes that nevertheless it must continue unabated: that which was once an object, which became a being, which has become an event.

That which resists being set upon by external past restrictive definitions, recreates itself in the image of mathematics which may yet be one day realized. The tragic juxtaposition that in order to behold their magnificence of radiancy ensconced, we must hold aside in our other hand the brokenness and decay of our own debilitation and hold it up as sacrifice to the continuation. To the process.

As a balance between evidence of what we'd been made to feel proud of and a warning against the mistakes we'd all made. The incisive chaotic eyebrows had all been suggestive pretense for what amounts to little more than a knowing nod in the right direction on the evolutionary highways. We find ourselves exenterated, sideways-displayed between two thick planes of plexiglass time for our curiosities.

We hope Ricky will put our species in his show, but can only cross our mouths in faux desperation at the significant quantity that separates that overarching equation toward fitness from its true north is termed the flux, and it always has been. It's in the carefully considered abandon in realizing that nothing's ever finished, it just ends.
