billionaires aren’t giving away their wealth when they spend it on “charity”. if they actually gave it away they would cease to control it, but they ensure that will never happen thru trusts and financial instruments. no - they are spending money on social control, and as a side benefit they get millions of useful idiots crowing about how they’re the most wonderful people in history for it.

I DO know what to do when you pray in space, which is you pray towards where Mecca *was* before you took off. but not sure what to do if I get Isekai'd

the main problem I have with Isekai is the theological question about how to pray towards Mecca in a world where there is no Mecca

still remember my grade school teacher telling me to chill out about global warming cuz it would be my kids problem

I can ask if other human beings feel love, on the basis that I'll never know what it feels like to be them, but that doesn't make the question any less creepy for me to be asking

"can cats feel love 🤔" they're social animals that hunt communally and in excess of their own needs in order to feed their young, elderly, and disabled, literally what else do you need

economists make no room for morality or ethics or god damn anything human

it's too bad that there's literally only two choices: no one works and people starve to death while freezing in the streets, or we force people to work and die of the fucking plague. if only there was a third option. alas

uh oh, china's economy is surpassing the US because they didn't spend the last 10 years redesigning their economy around giving money to failsons to make apps, time to do some saber rattling

if you want to build a leftist movement with any kind of support base you will have to include people that are not your cool punk friends. people really seem to get pissy at that idea.

listen, i know i should know about job markets and which ones and growing and which aren't but

it doesn't make me feel good to be told my major isn't "profitable" and that i need to be "smart" (i.e., think like a capitalist) if i want to pursue it cause money

i know i live in a capitalist country and all but way to knock the fucking wind from my sails

now here's a take i can get behind

"people are scared for their health, people are scared for their families health. here's how to profit from that!"
