I heard that too

These are pretty cool and I didn’t know about them! I’m pretty me to investing, do you just look up ESGs or something?

I’m in the sidelines and I didn’t know they existed and wanted to know more so I’m glad they posted it anyway

TIL rats have more empathy than rich people

Can we get whomever wrote Handsome Jack to get in charge? 2 was so great because they landed into the humor and fun of the first one instead of shying away from it.

I don’t think you should be quiet, it makes them feel like everyone is agreeing with them and makes everyone miserable. Time to introduce you to my favorite game to play with conservatives, Politics Judo!

So you hear them rant about a thing. Some dumbass talking point. Let’s use gun control. It’s pretty easy to know in advance what the talking points are since they never shut up and parrot the same problem and solution over and over. “Shouldn’t take guns, it’s a mental problem not a gun problem”.

Things are basically boiled down to a problem and a solution. A lot of people try to convince people that the problem isn’t what people think it is, and that’s hard to do. Even if they are just misinformed, it feels like trying to dismiss their fears.

So what you do is you agree with the problem, then use lefty talking points as the solution.

“Oh yeah, gun violence is pretty bad! And I love the Constitution, we shouldn’t mess with that!” (Use small words and also throw in some patriotism, makes them feel like you’re on their side. You want to sound like a right wing media con artist) “so instead of taking guns away, we should instead start having more, free, mental health care in this country. Since it’s a mental health problem and these people are crazy, that is the solution that makes the most sense!” (Don’t try to get them to agree to your solution, just state it as the obvious one)

It becomes weaponized cognitive dissonance. Their brains fry because you said the things you should to agree with them, flagged yourself as an ally, but then said the thing they were told is the bad and shouldn’t want.

If they try to argue with your solution, rinse and repeat to a different talking point. “Oh yeah it might cost more, and we shouldn’t have to pay more for it, so we should get the rich people who are screwing average hard working Americans over by not paying taxes to do that. We should shut down tax loopholes and increase funding to the IRS so they can go after them instead of the little guy”

Always sound like you’re agreeing with them, but giving solutions that they disagree with that seem to be off topic but are related.

Either they will get flustered and stop, or they will slip up and say something racist or sexist or something, and then you can have HR bust them. Document it and also see if you’re in a single party consent state.

Why try to delay it? Also trying to buy a house in this economy sheesh

Ignorant bullshit. There’s whole generas of rap and hip hop that you’re unaware of. There’s hip hop songs about drinking tea ffs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eELH0ivexKA

I kinda disagree with this a little. These things are interconnected. While we shouldn’t let stuff like race and sexuality divide us, we shouldn’t ignore that some groups have been fucked over more than others and part of dismantling the system is seeing what parts are rotten. Red lining n shit.

The getaway might not have been as meticulous as the plan leading up to the getaway.

Says it’s unpunished

I feel like it’s less about whether the process will go up or if capitalism can survive with it. I in feel that it’s going to be necessary for humans to function. With population increasing, and jobs actually decreasing from technology for the first time in human history, from businesses automating stuff or self check out counters, we’re just not going to have a job for every single person out there.

Iirc the places that tested ubi found that people kept working for the exact reason you said. I forget if more people got jobs or not.

Actually about 37 of them didn’t say anything at all so only 31 of the kids wanted him in

Because we are powerless to change it.

The corporations have lobbied (bribed) both political parties so hard that both sides work for them.

Any attempt to change the voting system gets shot down because the people in power don’t want to change the system, because it benefits them. Why make the game fair when it’s rigged in your favor?

Half the country is brainwashed into thinking any social help or reform is socialism (which is pure evil! Helping others is evil!) and a trick from the inept party to try to gain political influence. And the inept party just fails to deliver on any sort of reform because they want to appeal to that brainwashed half of the country.

Any grass roots effort that makes any traction gets shot down by the establishment, usually by rileing up the brainwashed half.

We WANT the change. But even if we could get the brainwashed half to vote for it, the system is so rigged and broken even if we did vote it in they would veto it or change it in two years.

What race is that?

Honestly I just funnel my hair towards the rich since they are the ones who built and maintain the system.

Google was started by two people who became billionaires. The very valuable company isn’t run by just those two people. That’s the point. No one has ever made anything or worked so hard they made a billion dollars by their effort and their effort alone.

If you really think otherwise, Would you hire me at a loss? Usually people hire someone and they make the company more money than what they are paid, because, you know, business, but if you want to hire me and pay me more money than what I make you, I’m down.

If he wanted to be caught he could’ve turned himself in though, make it big and public if he wanted that attention.

His getaway sure was and dropping a bag off that had monopoly money seems more well thought out than “have gun and no change clothes”

Yeah, its like someone who’s never been put into that position trying to judge people from their ignorance. You know, you.
