Twenty years of people being beaten down will have that effect. The degree of police brutality and surveillance is suffocating

A South Korean firm is offering to pay its workers $75,000 each time they have a baby

Hope you like kimchi

The extent of this man’s hustle is legendary.

Pure gibberish. Even AI doesn’t produce shit this bad.

You would discuss childbirth as a job?

Childbirth is literally referred to as “going into labor”. Like, Idk how else you would describe it if not nine months of hard work?

Putting Caitlyn Jenner and Natalie Wynn on the same list is insane.

wait until you find out 🏳️‍⚧️ on 🏳️‍⚧️🥾

Hasn’t been my experience. The LGBTQ community is incredibly tight-knit and politically engaged. One reason why liberal politicos are constantly hitting them up for volunteering and money.

As I got older and got to know friends and family coming out of the closet, I was genuinely amazed at how so many people were interconnected with one another, how often they socialized, how much culture came out of their community, and how the mutual-aid networks allowed the community to persist. Multi-generational trans communities primarily composed of run-aways and abuse survivors all helping one another to get work and housing and medical care gave me a glimpse into Actual Existing Socialism in my own backyard.

What else would you describe childbirth as?

The reason poor men voted for trump

“Poor men” didn’t vote for Trump. People without college degrees voted disproportionately for Trump (men and women alike). Even then, the state you’re in and your ethnic/religious persuasion was a stronger casual factor. Trump lost in a landslide with poor black and east-asian men, for instance. And he lost on the margin among poor men in the northeast and west coast.

Trump actually won with a majority of white women, against Hillary, Biden, and Kamala. This comic neatly illustrates why.

No idea why this is being downvoted. Statistically, women have less wealth and more debt than men.

If nobody does anything, it shows the constitution is worthless.

What if some people do some things, but they’re mostly perfunctory or performative and done more as a means of fund raising off gullible rubes than obstructing a tyrannical state government?

What if other people do things, but are immediately categorized as lawless radicals and foreign-sponsored insurgents who want the country to fail?

What if still other people do things, but they are in support of the tyrannical administration - either explicitly through armed support or implicitly through financing and propagandizing in defense of the state?

What if a large body of people don’t know what to do or who to align with, because so many different high profile people with different motivations and ideologies all claim they are Constitutional supporters acting in opposition to anti-Constitutional tyrants?

“But whether the Constitution really be one thing, or another, this much is certain - that it has either authorized such a government as we have had, or has been powerless to prevent it. In either case it is unfit to exist.”

― Lysander Spooner, No Treason: The Constitution of No Authority

It’s only suicidal when the funds are chronically mismanaged.

Also, steadily rising property values have been a de facto tax increase for decades.

Al Green lost his primary, so no.

No cuts to alfalfa.

No regulation of golf course water use.

No limit to how much State Farm Stadium can use on it’s chronically over watered turf.

No effort to fix municipal pipe leaks.

No conservation requirements for high rises or new builds

But you can guarantee the cost of a toilet’s worth of pee will be 3x by the end of next year.

My DJ just played “Back Dat Ass Up” up on a loop for most of my twenties.

It’s not really a loophole, because we haven’t issued fines at less than triple digits in decades.

Plants: evolves to produce chemical that causes pain from consumption

Humans: evolves to become masochistic

What we saw with Israel was a bunch of Israeli firms rebranding as American companies.

I suspect any attempt to de-couple from Big Tech in Europe will go the same way. You’ll have Øræcle in Sweden and µSoft in Greece and Paulintir in the UK. But the financies will all tie back to the Usual Suspects - Marc Andressen and Gary Tan and Masayoshi Son.

I wouldn’t buy it either, if it had a 50% tariff slapped on it
