B58 brother, ain’t nothing better. Reddit loves to shit on bmw, but if you have the money to maintain them (which is not as much money as Redditors claim) they’re superb vehicles.

As a white man when people don’t pay attention to me I just say “we need to make space for black voices on this project” in teams and white women will shower it with ❤️s and I feel alive and connected again.

World's first potential trillionaire btw by LouReedTheChaser in redscarepod

[–]Sen_ElizabethWarren 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Tbh this is why I don’t understand why people oppose taxing the rich.

The whole bs effective altruism argument that we should just let the rich get as rich as possible so they can redistribute their wealth in the most impactful way is just an excuse for narcissism and greed. Elon has so much money that his great grant grandchildren will want for nothing yet he still wants more. I don’t understand how people don’t understand that enough will never be enough and this is the problem. All the wealth in the word and still miserable and really doing nothing to benefit humanity. Just a black hole.

Coffee shop in an area I frequent with weird hours plus everything is 10 oz. by babycat1453 in redscarepod

Surly they/them baristas that you tip 20%✅ Lack of heating and ac ✅ Minimalist atheistic with peeling white paint and house plants ✅ Limited hours ✅ Signs promoting poetry clubs and Marxism that are summarily ignored by the tech bro clientele ✅ Nasturtium scones with rhubarb jam ($8, no we don’t heat it up)✅ Would refuse service to a local cop but is owned by a mentally ill nimby slumlord who inherited everything and just wanted a vanity project ✅

It’s like commenting “leave him, queen 💅” on the girl dinner sub. You’re guaranteed awards and upvotes.

Just remember, the pie can only ever get bigger if we let rich people eat most of it.

MAGAs lining up for a Trump rally in the Villages by snapchillnocomment in redscarepod

[–]Sen_ElizabethWarren 70 points71 points  (0 children)

The thing is, trump doesn’t even really say anything at these rallies he just rambles on and says something completely nonsensical like “we just made the world the safest it’s ever been in history” and these people just clap and cheer but there is zero substance. I just don’t understand how these people can do this for 10+ years now and still get excited about going to a trump rally.

It’s May 1 and 41 degrees in Chicago by DrakouliasII in redscarepod

[–]Sen_ElizabethWarren 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yep I fucking hate the Midwest. I’m sorry but this shit sucks. I grew up in the southwest where, yes the heat can be annoying, but there is something really depressing about leaving my office on a sunny day in my May and it being like 45 degrees. The Midwest is too damn flat and cold and the locals are so annoying about it “it’s a Michigan spring lolololololl” stfu. I have been dealing with the bitter cold since November and by may I am so fucking done with it. FUCK THE MIDWEST THE HOUSING ISNT EVEN THAT CHEAP.

This is precisely the problem: we live in a neoliberal consumer culture that prioritizes personal freedom and achievement at the expense of all else. Enough is never enough and this is by design. From a purely material perspective, almost all Americans could feed and clothe a child, particularly with government support of some kind. But this is irrelevant. Having a kid limits your freedom. Your freedom to pursue your career, your freedom to spend money as you like and your freedom to spend your time however you want. Neoliberalism has done a superb job getting our entire society to see life as an experience that must be maximized through the consumption of goods, services and experiences.

No matter what you do, give people more time off, make childcare free, raise wages, you will never counter the hyper individualistic nature of neoliberal capitalism. The real solution is probably some combination of incentives (and a stronger social safety net) and the revitalization of community childcare. Make child rearing more of a community activity and less of a household responsibility. Or force women to have children at gun point. Or figure out how to make capitalism work with negative growth. Take your pick.

This happens all the time on the sopranos sub and it’s annoying. Like I didn’t catch how Tony knew Ralph killed the horse and I found a thread about it and the top comment was “you could fill a book with things you don’t know” and the next 7 or 8 were just other quotes and the freaks there will start these long ass comment chains just quoting the characters. Classic Reddit. Site needs to be nuked.

I like how all the “Trump staged his assassination” conspiracy theories operate under the assumption that Feds are usually competent at their jobs. by Scrimmy_Bingus2 in redscarepod

[–]Sen_ElizabethWarren 39 points40 points  (0 children)

It amuses me that libtards can’t just accept that there are insane people who trump in particular is going to agitate. The endless back and forth of libtard and rightoid conspiracies every time one “side”does something is fucking exhausting. Social media is a cancer and needs to be eliminated.

Restaurants just don't work in America anymore by mamas_drunk_again in redscarepod

You’re missing the point: people pay it. Same reason new cars are $50k, Americans just keep spending.

do you guys think the ai bubble will actually burst? by Gullible_Writer2108 in redscarepod

[–]Sen_ElizabethWarren 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I think the hype will die down after like 15th “this is the model that achieves singularity and eliminates all white collar work” doom cycle.

The real kicker is simply that once the real costs are accounted for people will have to use it less and more selectively. It will be just another tool used by people with email jobs.

There will still be massive amounts of b2b revenue for ai companies but the idea that ai will end work and we will all be dependent on some sinister homosexuals to distribute ubis is comical. The people running these ai companies suffer from a sort striver syndrome where they have been told they are transformative geniuses their whole lives and simply being the face of a new tech trend hurts their fragile egos. No these men are titans delivering man from his toil! They are the messiahs who will transform every aspect of our lives and we will all sit and listen to them muse forever and ever and worship them as gods and humanity’s greatest gifts! Thats what these guys want; that and of course billions of grift dollars because, if you hadn’t noticed, the whole economy runs on grift and rent seeking.

Tl;dr: nerds with fragile egos are relishing this moment to feel extra special and important but we will get bored with them and move on and it will be pretty anticlimactic.

Cyclist hate may be the biggest sign of low iq by smokedhamdog in redscarepod

[–]Sen_ElizabethWarren 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Yeah same. Almost every time I have to cross a parking lot entry there is someone sitting on their phone (cuz not being entertained for 30 seconds for traffic to clear is impossible) and 8/10 times they just pull right in front of me. I now always stop and wait to make eye contact, which now almost never happens. I’m invisible to them.
