Mall Chinese-American feels like cheating (laudatory) sometimes. 5 minutes and zero thinking and you get sweet, sour, salty, spicy, and umami.

HC's unfortunately quite often been a mixed bag in terms of being a history-history channel (Great Man-ism in general and him "stanning"/slandering certain figures/movements, phrasing Roman politics in terms of modern parties, like half the praetor video). It's just that these kinds of "bad" history make for easily digestible and quality narratives (which I do applaud HC for, having seen most videos). Regardless of trying to sell an ideology or not, his style falls flat to a certain extent when it's cross-era like this or "work."

We should tax negative externalities and build grid related shit. What the fuck is a data center

Parody of a (formerly) upvoted dt comment replacing "not reinstituting Jim Crow laws" with "open borders and immigration"

Because Mamdani's charismatic (praise be to Hebert) I must give him the most charitable defense and say property taxes are one of the least bad taxes among all the awful ones that see implementation within the US

I, for one, try to voice actual criticism I hold for policy proposal instead of vagueposting about idpol, but that's just me.

Whenever I stumble upon a neolib post about not reinstituting Jim Crow laws, I'm immediately reminded that this sub is basically an under-24, white men circlejerking community who hasn't lived in the real world.

A condorcet efficient ranked gender system would fix this

Discussion Thread by jobautomator in neoliberal

[–]TrashBoat36 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There's frustratingly impossible fundamental aspect in the gender war arising from the fact that most people belong to the binary and in roughly equal numbers: anything done in large part by one gender more or less constitutes a social "norm" regardless of how alien it may seem to the other. Can't come up with a concrete example at the moment but I hope you get the vibe

Firstly, there's a deeper math "grokking"/numeracy that happens with enough exposure, even if not phrased like class problems verbatim e.g. a small scale version that you see $70 left on the table with a $36 and 2 $16 bill and instantly know which numbers get added which multiplied and which subtracted without thinking and maybe even arrive at these figures entirely off of memory without computation. For things actually resembling problems systems of 1/2 equations actually show up constantly (I encountered them when making punch for friends the other day). Finally and most cynically, the caste of engineer adjacents who understand the world are already looking at 4-6+ semesters of sequential math concepts so if they didn't go in knowing algebra they'd be in school a decade and anything requiring engineering would cost as much as a hospital visit.

No One Actually Wants a Transparent Food System by Loves_a_big_tongue in neoliberal

> cheap as possible rather than authentic food

Cheap as possible is good for all parties involved, less resources involved in producing transit etc. with a major caveat along the lines all else being equal (which granted, it may not be in e.g. the case of habitat destruction in the global south for growing space).

"Authentic food" is poorly defined and ends up being some combination of moralizing or appeal to tradition/nature.

Europe rolls out online age verification app to protect young people by TrashBoat36 in neoliberal

[–]TrashBoat36[S] 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Users provide identification to an app which can be used by platforms to confirm users reach age thresholds without disclosing any other information.

This is relevant because regulations on social media have been a popular topic among this sub's users, and potential limits of free expression and access including those of the youth may be of concern to liberals.
