If our oligarchs are smart, they'll keep us near that red line, without allowing us to go over it.

I'd describe this as the strategy since the Great Depression. The New Deal was a bandaid for capitalism to make it palatable enough for enough people to prevent revolution.

But our oligarchs aren't smart, or at least they think they're smarter than their predecessors. They're dismantling the things that keep the masses mollified and more people are realizing it.

When you say "feminism has been hijacked by career sociopaths" what are you specifically talking about?

Shitty title. Business school professors claim they trained an AI to judge workers' personalities based on their faces.

The article talks about why that is such a stupid and terrible proposal.

shrug Unless you're trying to gatekeep who can and can't play sports....

If we are ever invaded by monkeys with balloons, I am ready to serve.

The trouble is that hitting the inside of the bump gets deflected towards the chest, which you really don't want. Armor should be uniboob with a peak in the center deflecting outward.

I think it's used in a lot of ways that isn't "drinking a glass of milk". I suspect most milk is poured over cereal. It's also used a lot in cooking, but insisting on raw milk to bake with seems especially weird.

Maybe the joke isn't particularly fair, maybe it doesn't really need to be.

You have logical reasons to avoid antibiotics and preservatives. Someone might not agree, but whatever the case, you made that decision based on some amount of evidence.

Raw milk though... I think the meme is correct to equate anger with pasteurization as a denial of germ theory. We pasteurize and refrigerate for the same reason: to keep bacteria from growing. It is a fair question: if pasteurization is unnecessary, why is refrigeration necessary? Avoiding preservatives doesn't beg the same question.

Quite a few weirdos, really.

I know that Republicans spent 2020 looking for bamboo in ballots, but haven't been able to find even hand recounts in swing states. I think Democrats are so invested in being "good losers" that there has not been enough investigation into an election where Republicans certainly cheated as much as they were able to.

I don't know where you're searching, but the earth is usually pretty visible at the horizon.

I don't really get the joke. So much of what they said was nonsense. Just about everything.
