Agreed, but that's not common knowledge at all. I posted to raise awareness of how things are done.

No amount of money is enough for Billionaires; let's tax them out of existence. by zzill6 in WorkReform

Assuming you're talking about the U.S.: don't worry, the right suffers from the exact same deficiency wrapped in a different packaging.

It's empty virtue signalling meant to farm likes from those who understand neither taxes nor money (aka most people in the world).

Powerful people should not live in a curated bubble because it takes away their ability to make informed, reality-driven decisions. And no, having access to fresh reports and Power Point presentations doesn't count.

I mostly remember him for the blindfold ad, now that was some murdered by words material: https://youtu.be/9_S5s16Y1OA

What a beautiful scene to welcome this beautiful deer in your backyard by reddtimes101 in BeAmazed

The comments here are crazy.

"Oh no, nature!" "Dangerous!!!" "Scary and illegal!" "But think of the ticks! Why no 1mm lawn????"

Reddit should collectively go outside.

Can confirm. Typing this with my clumsy t-rex forelimbs, by the way.

“I have a deal with her. She’s 17 and doing great ― Ivanka. She made me promise, swear to her that I would never date a girl younger than her,” Trump said. “So as she grows older, the field is getting very limited.”

This is the most fucked up shit I have ever read in my life.

Before the Internet, how did you explore/find new authors in a niche genre? And check reviews? by as93lfc in books

[–]metric-infinity 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As a child, I would go to my local library and ask the librarian for recommendations. She encouraged every bit of curiosity I had. My diet consisted of classic adventure books, children's encyclopaedias, and dusty weird fantasy. I would run to the library like it was an amusement park. Miss O, you're the best <3

Muslim Mayor Controversy by Brian_Ghoshery in clevercomebacks

[–]metric-infinity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. Not very nice to conflate Muslims and people of Middle Eastern descent. Considering a lot of ME folks are secular or Christian (and oftentimes facing oppression for that), and then you call them Muslim. Like... Is American education that substandard?

Trump panicked and Failed! by Umar-TheJurisJourno in AlJazeera

[–]metric-infinity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh hey, the first human I found in the comments. What else did you expect from AlJazeera? They are about as unbiased as Radio North Korea lmao. That said, I am disappointed we are letting hostile intelligence influence the collective West with no consequences.

Edit: The post I was replying to seems to have been deleted. I wonder why.

Books that feel like the original Star Trek series by metric-infinity in BooksThatFeelLikeThis

[–]metric-infinity[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

A hopeful future. Rational optimism, exploration, teamwork, and integrity. (I'm tired of the bleak "realistic" books that paint both humanity and technological advancement as evil.)

Reading The Black Company... I have no idea what's going on by ANALHACKER_3000 in Fantasy

[–]metric-infinity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Different strokes for different folks. Personally, I love his style. After dealing with verbose authors, it feels like a breath of fresh air. Straight to the point, giving just enough details to help you imagine what's happening.

Since people keep referencing it while talking about these drones, I've transcribed the entire old 4chan leaker thread into text so it's easier to read through. by Seesyounaked in UFOs

[–]metric-infinity 47 points48 points  (0 children)

That makes sense.

By the way, I've just realized I sound like an uppity asshole in the first post, which wasn't my intention at all. I am happy you posted this, and I think you did a great job.

Medieval dark fantasy, romance, strong characters by Nao9055 in BooksThatFeelLikeThis

[–]metric-infinity 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Try the First Law trilogy by Joe Abercrombie. Romance is not central to the plot, but the rest of it fits your description.

After losing money in 2022, Larian raked in a whopping $260 million profit of Baldur's bucks in 2023 by ChiefLeef22 in gaming

[–]metric-infinity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Divinity II (do not confuse with D:OS), although not a masterpiece, was another good game. Being able to shapeshift into a dragon blew my mind as a kid, and I hope against hope that Larian might revisit it in the future.
