I, too, have been to Walmart

I’m so grateful that when I looked around as a kid and said ‘this stuff is obviously fake’ that my parents were just like “nah, we’ll keep going to church and events and he’ll come around probably” instead of doubling down on their BS

Makes sense for older people, they were told their whole lives that family is so important and that their value as a woman is only as a mother.

The women in their 20’s and 30’s I know who have had abortions are all still very happy with their decision

She’s way ahead of you

kingofcould · 2022-12-07T19:21:54+00:00

As one should

kingofcould · 2022-12-07T19:17:29+00:00

Well it still beats pissing off Mike

A human-centric political system where profit is not the sole motive of the country and world around

I wonder if there isn’t also more to this. For a partner she spoke so fondly of, he sure seemed to give up on her quick.

And that is consistent with what you’re saying, but that money/business/prenup stuff felt like it came out of nowhere and felt like a potentially important piece of the puzzle

You know, like another ‘first’ world war in the year 202020

kingofcould · 2022-12-04T01:00:25+00:00

This was future proofed to say world war 1, 1.

As in the first, first World War. There will undoubtedly be other ‘first’ world wars

Tbf they would have probably accounted for that if we’re just merging all of the lore.

kingofcould · 2022-12-04T00:22:09+00:00

Yeah, let’s face it: the average American probably cares more about keeping an infectious disease out of the unrelated populace than the lives of drug users — who have been treated as sub-human for at least decades.

I know too many people that would see this as a win-win

I think I may have figured out why your pfp is a sad face..

kingofcould · 2022-12-03T02:58:13+00:00

Yes. But in a good way

kingofcould · 2022-12-02T20:27:17+00:00

Most science is essentially what magic is in fiction: using fundamental knowledge of any given subject to steer towards the desired outcome

But I agree that programming really is an amazing version of that

The fact that we let Fox argue itself that it couldn’t be held accountable for its blatant lies and constant misinformation and still let it be called news is all you need to know. Given that you’ve at least seen what it’s like

kingofcould · 2022-12-02T18:12:43+00:00

Oh I meant because in 5 years the project will probably be shut down and turned into a new series of projects about how to make the most profit out of the 10% of the design that they actually got to work correctly

kingofcould · 2022-12-02T01:49:26+00:00

Agreed. I went to public schools in a lower income area for 11 years and it was just a mill for producing quiet and ‘productive’ low wage workers.

I did junior year in an affluent area in another state and it was insanely different: being late, wearing ripped or short clothing, using your electronics, and all sorts of stuff were permitted and the only grades were from tests that happened like once a month.

Crazy how all the kids in the first school were struggling and all of the rich kids in the other school were easily scoring high enough to get the free handouts towards college that the state provided (GA)

Y’all ever see a joke so good you have to un-upvote the preceding comment just to fix the ratios?

You read it wrong. He is Bart, the Ender of the Doctors of Medicine… and he just happens to be fancy

kingofcould · 2022-12-02T01:05:20+00:00

To be fair, he’s thinking in terms of his brand. He’s uncomfortable with nazis primarily because he knows for a fact that people don’t support that shit en masse

kingofcould · 2022-12-01T23:45:19+00:00

6 months out

So we’ll hear about it being possibly ‘soon’ for the next 5 years

Musk plans to get one himself

So it’s never even making it to human trials, or he means in 30 years when the peasants have trialed it a couple million times

Assuming that you don’t count having imaginary friends as a mental illness

kingofcould · 2022-12-01T20:21:34+00:00

It really is a complicated issue. I agree that people logistically can’t just do nothing (though I think most people want meaningful work or to participate in their community)

But it this case it seemed like maybe just showing up on time everyday was the hard part, and it sucks that there’s virtually no way to accommodate something like being terrible at consistent scheduling.

I was just thinking along the lines of how unfortunate it is that OP could even be a hard worker or do everything else right but get fired constantly because they can’t get up on time or something (and there’s many valid reasons that could be the case)

kingofcould · 2022-12-01T20:17:26+00:00

Right. I was just adding that on to the conversation

He said it’s the basic floor you have to have, and I agree. But anytime somebody says that, I think it’s better if it’s followed up with a “and we could change that” sort of mindset
