  • I mean they value money…

    and apparently they are smart enough to realize that Diversity helps with money, Which makes sense… they are a machine designed to extract money from people…

    rich white billionares do not fill up theatres or make a substantial percentage of disney+ and Hulu subscriptions… a group of people that know how to target different demographics will obviously outperform one that targets the hell out of maga fans but doesn’t know how to talk to the other 70% of the country.


  • Shouldn’t it also point out, say… everything else in that gap.

    IE, Cancer/Aids research, Disease prevention. millions of federal jobs etc…

    While it’s still obviously corrupt as fuck… it wouldn’t really effect the average american that much if he only gutted things that hurt him directly (I mean still obviously causes problems when he kills the CFPB, OSHA etc…), but obviously all the USAID projects etc… those wouldn’t effect him in any way shape or form, but he’s still after them.






  • Hell I wouldn’t even say that… they don’t understand it, they don’t care to understand it, they don’t know or care what federated means. They went there because, it’s not currently nazified twitter.

    I get that it’s “technically” federated… but practically it’s for all practical purposes just a proprietary program, run by a group that isn’t currently horrific. Unfortunately everything I see in it says, it’s every bit as vulnerable, and it can be good for as long as the owners care about not becoming a nazi propoganda machine. Actual recourse from it going evil… is non existant.



  • Kind of the conservative way…

    Chemical plant explodes: Cut more regulations on safety

    Abnormally dry and dangerous: Cut fire department

    Repeat teen pregnancies: Less sex education.

    Disease kills millions: Less doctors, less vaccines.

    Sometimes I feel texas thinks there in a scenerio like the episode of parks and rec, when out of desperation to get out of an emergency scenerio drill, they opted to just fail it on purpose as fast as they could. Bird flu is killing millions. OK our priority is save the birds, instruct everyone to perform CPR on any fallen birds.





  • Yeah, I at least assumed that was understood with just “expectancy”, obviously people live longer than expectations, and some die unexpectedly young. Key point is if you were given a mission where you must become a baby, and carry on life until you have 6 kids reach the age of 18. But you could chose what time to be born in (but not pick location, class or race), the lowest difficulty mode of that game would almost certainly be after 1950s… and prior to the 1800s would be viewed as very hard mode.


  • The massive lowering of the bar of “good enough to stay alive”. Life expectancy was consistantly in the 30s up until the 1870s. Simply having kids was life threatening… doing so while malnourished even more so.

    Natural selection favors traits that increase the odds of having offspring, as well as those that avoid death before having offspring. Avoiding death is a lot easier than it used to be.


  • idiocracy intro?

    (IE the theory it pushed was in short, smart people do family planning, try to wait for everything to be perfect… and forget to get around to having kids).

    Meanwhile on the less intelligent spectrum. Shit I’m pregnant again!!!.. Oh and I got the girl in the trailer next door pregnant.

    Or for a real world example… look at Lauren Boebert, the 35 year old grandmother in congress.

    Kind of some level of any system isn’t it? In short if a system has a means to power that can tweak the rules. Inevitably will result in one group ceasing the rules, turning them to raise how much they can tweak them, and ensuring they continue to be tweaked in their favor.

    Communism relies on a possibly impossible starting point. Theoretically if the starting point were reached, it seems the most sustainable. Whether it’s possible to reach that starting point is the great mystery.


  • I’m thinking, it’s an attempt to be more succesful with nerds like us? I gotta admit I thought it was possibly a real person the first time I saw it, I’m more than desensitized to supermodel looking asian pictures from when I was on dating apps and occasionally reddit. I’m guessing just a non horny, non model, claiming to be studying in STEM is trying to avoid the obvious red flags for people that know supermodels probably aren’t into them.



  • Well yeah, that’s the order of strategies…

    Step 1: Tax cuts for the rich.

    Step 2: Declare and win wars with… Canada, Greenland, Mexico, Panema, China, Palestine, Ukrane.

    step 3: Attempt to completely eliminate the national debt. by cutting all services and regulations.

    I’m sure another dozen steps… but trust me, those of us making under 150k are on the list.
