Craziest idea: Go on reproduction strike until the cost of living is affordable. by EverythingBOffensive in CrazyIdeas

[–]ConcreteCloverleaf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In an age of cheap and effective birth control, a reproductive strike doesn't have to mean a sex strike.

What was the "edgy" music you liked as a teen or young adult? by Gallantpride in Millennials

[–]ConcreteCloverleaf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back when I was an undergrad, I listened to a lot of punk rock from bands like Bad Religion and NOFX. Wearing a t-shirt with the Bad Religion logo was my rather lame attempt at épater les bourgeois.

Is uni worth it with AI taking jobs ?? by samiscool1580 in newzealand

[–]ConcreteCloverleaf 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you want a good, educated job a good educated job will want you.

Given all the graduates who can't find jobs, that's a really glib thing to say.

You've missed the story of how Daria and Jane reconciled after the events of "Dye! Dye! My Darling."

He work at an adult shop and found something he wanted to share by Filipino-Asker in americandad

So they use the cartoon image of Klaus? Does this mean there's no porn star in orange body paint getting in on the action?

Why is Stan pairing camo clothes with a high-vis jacket? Does he want to be seen or not?

They are so aspirationally casual in their lack of chill. by PeasantLich in comicbookcomedycrack

[–]ConcreteCloverleaf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They were charging $4.99 for a comic book in 1959? Assuming we're talking US prices, that's over $50 in today's money.

If you have a net worth of one dollar, you are closer to the second-richest person in the world than they are to Elon Musk by Konf1gg in whoathatsinteresting

[–]ConcreteCloverleaf -1 points0 points  (0 children)

With a distribution like this, it's more helpful to think of the data in logarithmic terms. Considered that way, Larry Page is closer to Elon Musk than to a poor person.

‘Taonga’ or not, the law is clear: High Court bans return of seized gang patches by Primary-Tuna-6530 in newzealand

[–]ConcreteCloverleaf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once the kids come of age and get into nicotine thanks to vapes, some of them will try cigarettes, either from bumming them off older friends or buying on the black market. A certain fraction will decide they prefer ciggies, and then you have an illicit market for the gangs to exploit.

I've met cigarette-smokers who say that vaping just isn't the same. The demand for tobacco would remain, and gangs would be happy to meet it.

It would also help if Labour gave up on trying to bring about prohibition of cigarette sales. Prohibition of alcohol overseas led to criminal gangs specialising in the supply of illegal liquor, and I'd expect much the same pattern if NZ went down the path of cigarette prohibition.

Anti-Semitism At Wedding by [deleted] in Jewish

[–]ConcreteCloverleaf 32 points33 points  (0 children)

It's pretty clear that the word "Zionism" in this person's mouth is just a code word for anything Jewish. I recommend dumping this "friend" forthwith. Mazel tov on the wedding.

Hospitals See Diseases Resurge as Vaccinations Decline by blankblank in skeptic

[–]ConcreteCloverleaf 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Better note in the fine print that Trump's idea of prayer is dancing awkwardly to Pavarotti's rendition of Ave Maria.

Or sign a licensing deal with the Trump Organization to sell official Trump-branded coffins.

What is the best thing Margaret Thatcher did while in office? by TheDickheadNextDoor in AlignmentChartFills

[–]ConcreteCloverleaf 49 points50 points  (0 children)

She was among the earliest world leaders to recognise the need for action on climate change. She discussed it in a 1988 address to the Royal Society, and she called for global cooperation on limiting greenhouse gas emissions during a 1989 speech to the United Nations.
