That’s the fun thing! From a strategic response perspective, you need to treat it like it’s intentional even though it’s likely just profit seeking behavior.

We know there are people actively working to promote capitalism to their own benefit, it only helps our cause to treat them as competent as they seem (rather than are). They get results, act like those results are intentional.

That’s just defeatist talk. You got to meet people where they’re at in order to get them to understand. I’m pretty sure a child could learn to grasp this concept, if you explained it well enough.

Set to return fractions and those terms can’t be mutually reduced (only factors of 749 are 7 and 107, no match in 120). User error, if anything.

Attention economy, man. Being recognizable is an asset, this furthers recognizability for that piece of shit.

“Nah, fuck that and fuck you”

I just realized that the knowledge I have from newspapers from my youth no longer applies. They no longer put the most pertinent info near the top, but at the bottom. Burying the lede is just the default nowadays.

The governor pardoned him almost immediately after the jury came back.

If you start with a fresh deck and perform 8 perfect dovetail shuffles, you’ll have shuffled the deck back into the exact same arrangement it started in.

It’s getting more attention because there was an incident like this two weeks ago in Shibuya where a woman knocked over a Taiwanese kid in a crosswalk. People looking up the phenomenon, finding this example, and it, just like the incident two weeks ago, also had anti-foreigner vibes in addition to being shitty.

There is an Isekai where the protagonist is obsessed with mecha and he wakes up in a world where mecha suits are the dominant magic tool. He outright kills his rival at one point… but only because the dude was designing airships instead of mechas, and the protagonist knows how precarious the mecha domination is (cause humanoid robots are such a massive pain to work with/ use rather than specialized machines)

Cool. Doesn’t change the fact that it’s not valid ID for the purposed “prove you’re a citizen” bill, so it’s mostly irrelevant to this discussion. It doesn’t even prove citizenship.

Platonic solids exclude the Rhombic Dodecahedron, so who needs them?

SSN isn’t proof of anything except eligibility for Social Security benefits. Yes, the system is abused to cover for the lack of a national ID, but it isn’t an ID.

Lol, no. That’s just a leftist thing, my man. Capitalism requires new markets to expand into, imperialism supplies that.

Imperialism isn’t just owning colonies, it’s also suppression of competition in markets already established by the empire. That’s what the invading everyone with oil that we can in 2026 is all about. It’s not just about market expansion (though that certainly can, does, and likely will happen). It’s about market domination.

And yes, imperialism is bad when it’s done by anyone, not just the west.

I don’t think anyone’s thinking about NATO in this conversation.

A fan of Milo and Otis, I see

Oof, ouch, my bones!

Corporatism that Mussolini was speaking of (though this direct quote can’t be attributed to him) is a return to the guild system, not corporations as we would think of them.

Shit still goes hard, though. Just needed to satisfy the itch to get to the bottom of the quote.

I don’t think anyone suggested that, but go off. First comment blamed Russia, Israel, and the Epstein files. Someone asked why Russia, I explained why Russia. Thank you, come again

You think the backlash to mask mandates was the cause for lawlessness almost a decade later? That’s incoherent af

This isn’t even a bad take, it makes no sense at all

Why’s my handjob?
