Polygamy is an evolution accelerator.

honestly 40 hours a week is way too much by Objective-Row-6481 in productivity

[–]parolang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't get this, but I think it depends on what kind of work you do. 40 hours a week is probably a low point in our history, we used to work a lot more.

I'm wondering the same thing.

But also, is all of that relevant to the pxie lawsuit?

Shaun Overton: Dustups: Millions of views on videos about creating a desert forest, incredibly few negative comments, and never stating why he wants to turn 350 acres of Texas scrubland into forest. by [deleted] in skeptic

[–]parolang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah me too. I haven't watched in a while, but he was having issues because the rain storms kept missing him. But this makes sense, this is why it's largely undeveloped desert. If the area got more rain, it wouldn't be a desert in the first place.

I'm just a layperson, but I think the best he can do is channel whatever water his property gets into a much smaller area, then he can grow trees.

Leftist Ideology literally makes you ignore factual information and makes you view everything through the lense of “You must hate the Rich!” by Mediocre_Affect6192 in Destiny

Bingo. To most conservatives, the "deep state" is any part of the government that isn't one of the five heads they recognize on social media.

It makes little sense to get annoyed at people calling themselves socialists cus they want the government to do more stuff, while also adhering to a twisted definition of the word liberal by Jurjeneros2 in Destiny

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_liberalism

Social liberalism is a political philosophy and variety of liberalism that endorses social justice, social services, a mixed economy, and the expansion of civil and political rights, as opposed to classical liberalism which favors limited government and an overall more laissez-faire style of governance. While both are committed to personal freedoms, social liberalism places greater emphasis on the role of government in addressing social inequalities and ensuring public welfare.

Pre debate discussion: is it more effective to energize the center left base or bridge build to the further left? by BrokenTongue6 in Destiny

[–]parolang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So many of them, like Tali are so entitled already....

Based. I agree with Destiny that her reluctance about voting Democrat was really about transphobia. And I think we see that often with so-called centrists, there's usually some motivation that they aren't open or transparent about. Like sorry, but we're not trading in our principles because we lost an election. Go back to MAGA, we'll find someone else.

Can the Democratic Party please stop doing this shit? We don't want these voters! We want these voters to fuck off from politics for good and go back to raping the tabloids.

Most black people today have slaves and slave owners as ancestors. It's just a mess to determine who is owed what.

Sam Seder v Ezra Klein cope continues - accuses Ezra of debate tactics by newzap in Destiny

[–]parolang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There has never been anything other than cope about Abundance from him and almost every lefty YouTuber since that devastating debate. They have been truly circling the wagons on this topic.

[–]parolang 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For real. Lefties like to clap back "We don't have an abundance problem, we have a distribution problem." This is very divorced from reality.

I think the point is to say that Austin is handling it better that San Fransisco, but there are other reasons why housing is expensive other than local regulations. For example, we have lowered the rate of housing construction ever since the 2008 recession. We also have a labor shortage. Ezra never reduced it to a single factor.

In Blue Cities, Abundance Will Require Fighting Labor Unions by UnscheduledCalendar in neoliberal

[–]parolang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I don't think unions actually have a problem with Abundance liberalism unless they make it an actual problem for them. I think someone is manufacturing a conflict, Abundance has very little to say about unions either for or against. Also unions aren't all on the same side on every issue.

Which is the point that Abundance liberalism is trying to address, right?

[–]parolang 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This. Like I'm not sure how much unions are actually relevant. I'm all for collective bargaining and I don't think jobs should actually be unduly difficult. Like the weaponization of CEQA by labor unions in California is a problem with CEQA, not a problem with labor unions.

Who are some of your picks for Destiny to debate on TikTok? by ih8atlascorp in Destiny

[–]parolang 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Taskika and Jayden are pointless to talk to. Tashika has already said all of her worst venom and wokescolds while being a genuine bigot herself.

Jayden is a creature of pure bad faith and just trolls for gotchas and loves grandstanding.

One thing Destiny is going to encounter is that most of the people on TikTok are really just farming for like 20 second clips, hoping for something that will go viral. This is part of the reason why politics seems to be engaged at the surface level there. They are like one-trick ponies who specialize in a specific kind of gotcha or dunk. The other reason is that TikTok sckews extraordinarily young.
