That's the standard issue. Helmet on soldier, you wanna live forever?

Not gonna lie. I know about 50 women with psych degrees. Out of these 50, exactly 2 of them use those degrees and theyre both escorts.

Women should sue higher education writ large for the swindle that is a psych degree. Any promise that it would lead to work was a known lie. That shit is crack to women. Go figure out yourself, and other people, sprinkle in true crime and look at that. Dean's were more predatory than pimps.

Yip. I took the government what, 17 years..? from suing to breaking up AT+T, and they were the largest company in America that entire time.

At+t tried to slap em with some exorbitant long distance charges and Uncle Sam got tired of the fuck around.

To today; Google's been showing the wrong people the wrong kind of ads. Showing representatives ads for laundromats and daycares that offer drivinga ed after looking up how to launder money and traffic children. NO google, I did NOT mean THAT

Didn't Leeja Miller just make a YouTube vid about this guy? I'm pretty sure she did.

I'll edit and update with a link if she did

There's also a fuckton of gold in the ocean, just waiting for someone to figure out how to filter the entire ocean and pull out the individual atoms. All at a profitable price point.

Same with uranium. Which means it'll never happen.

We will have cracked fusion, mined the far side of the moon for helium3 and brought it back to terra before we crack that nut

For context; we've only mined ~200k tonnes of gold historically with an estimate ~50k tonnes left. The ocean holds 20milion tonnes, worth over $770Trillion and it's not cost effective to get it out.

I try not to drink calories at all, but if I do, it's considered part of the meal.

I strongly recommend this, as strongly as reading the news everyday. Don't watch or listen to it, READ it. It makes you conscious of your participation, makes it easier to remember, and over time, will sharpen your critical thinking skills

If you've ever thought 'holy fuck some people are dumb', well, if they read the news on the reg, they'd be less and less dumb, everyday.

The flip side of this is productive procrastination, where you do all the menial tasks before doing the task you don't want to do. Generally you aren't even aware you're doing and most people can go their entire lives never knowing the term exists, and yet they'll do it all the time.

You can't fix a problem you can't identify.

You're welcome and I'm sorry.

Capitulation isn't a plan. Nice try Orbán, ya fascist fuck.

This is misleading at best. If you subtract the largest 1000 earners in America the median income drops to $35,000.

That's all you need to know.

I witnessed 5 police officers all hit a man on the ground with their tasers. Broad daylight.

Died on the scene of a heart attack. Apparently natural causes. The polices internal investigations found the police did no wrong, imagine that.

Unless you make enough money that you can regularly "donate" to the force, I suggest that you assume they are not there to help you and you protect yourself accordingly

They are thinking the got the customer by the balls because they're a state sanctioned monopoly. They're so big the CEO of Samsung has essentially the same power as the SK president.

Every major corp out of SK is a state sanctioned monopoly. The government tells Samsung "make washing machines now" and Samsung does.

I know it's been widely overlooked to allow South Korea to economically develop after the armistice, cold war and all, but at some point the rest of the free trading world is going to have to hit them with tariffs to protect native, or critical industries.

Frankly I'm really tired of looking the other way for any reason. Every other day it's a headline about how some government or multinational led the public on a 20 year gaslighting campaign. If I were to say, "hey did you hear that story about XXXY(any well known mega corp)?" Do you think I'd have a positive wholesome story to share? No. Because there never is. The structure of a corporation is set up to protect financiers from liability from the crimes theyre guaranteed to commit thru abusive, shortsighted, toxic business. It's literally the fucking point. But we don't have to accept that, and we don't have to choke back and somehow keep down our sense of justice, or be passively complicit, which is to nueter your morality, your sense of self

Our individual actions do matter in this case. Like don't buy shit off Temu, theyre using slave labor. Don't endorse that. Don't buy anything out of Dubai or Saudi Arabia, they, also, keep slaves. Don't support slavery. Including wage slavery. Don't do business with Israel until an non Zionist coalition is back in charge. Don't buy anything Russian. Genocide is not an acceptable modern practice. It CAN'T be. Boycott Mississippi and Louisiana as well, since they like to let their prisoners die of treatable conditions and bury them in unmarked graves. That is ALSO a genocide. Don't fucking fund crimes against humanity. This is kindergarten levels of sophistication.

And hopefully enough people will actually live their morals and gain seats of power, because we have to. Otherwise waves hands THIS.
