I assume due to venture capitalists who are not really passionate about creating good content, but more about turning a quick profit.

Remember, it’s not just good enough that the line goes up. The line must also go up at a faster rate than previous months at all times or you’re a failure.

It’s the only “sport” I know of where “top-tier athletes” can get viciously drunk while actively playing in tournaments and still do alright.

Thanks, John Daly, for proving what a farce golf truly is.

Just let people be happy, what the fuck. We consume by nature, it’s unavoidable. No living being has survived without consuming.

I wish. Getting scolded by an old crone for daring to use your voice in the library never leaves you. Children can be excited or loud sometimes, but libraries exist to make them seen, not heard.

Nuclear and renewables are for different purposes and are complementary. Taking an all-or-nothing approach to energy will drastically delay net-zero generation.

Good luck not buying soap, toothpaste, or shampoo. Palm oil is used in damn near everything today since it’s the most oil/acre around today.

I’d make the argument that slavery provides a higher quantity of workers, but since it’s against the workers’ wills, it is not as efficient (units of work per unit of time).

Hah. As somebody that had to be driven to the bus stop because it was over a mile away, I call BS.

You can’t violence your way into efficient human labor without repealing the 13th Amendment.

Let’s see if the SCOTUS says that the slavery clause only applies to individual people that congress specifically designates as free, a la the wholly made up rules on the insurrection clause of the 14th amendment.

Come on, be realistic. You think Exxon and Saudi Aramco will allow that? Money talks, bullshit walks, and they think our lives come from a steer’s rear.

Non-existent in the US thanks to whack-ass tariffs unfortunately. We love hindering our adoption of climate change reducing technology for political points.

MD PhD who gets paid $15/hr to work 70 hour weeks at Duke. Her CV is a mile long

She should quit. Industry pays an actual livable salary compared to that. She could work as a shipping clerk and make more money and have a higher standard of living.

They abuse people endlessly because smart and talented people like your friend volunteer to get abused. It’s tragic, but their own choice.
