You just raised two examples of the right expressing exactly what they want to do to defend using terrible slogans that don’t actually convey what is really intended as policy.
Other people being better communicators than you does not justify intentionally continuing to be a bad communicator, especially when you’re trying to oppose them being a better communicator with bad faith intentions.
But that’s the exact danger, if we don’t craft our propaganda and rallying calls to suit the audience who aren’t in the lingo loop that we’re in, then we’re never going to break out of the insulated community to reach coalition partners in actually implementing the change we need
Yeah, but that’s the rub, we still need clear communication.
A slogan is only as good as how little work you need to do fleshing out any possible points of confusion or misunderstanding.
As dope as that sounds in theory, I seriously doubt we’re going to run into zero circumstances where someone turns out to be a threat to society in need of containment who also is not experiencing a mental health crisis that justifies placing them in a psych ward instead.
Also, having zero containment protocols endangers victims of stalking, harassment, and intimidation, which is definitely a bad outcome. Stalkers absolutely need to get thrown into a holding space that can keep them from continuing to escalate behavior until their victim either gets killed or kills them in self defense.
I mean it’s an inherently anti-consumer policy, the question is if that hit to consumer choice is worth it for the manufacturers that are getting a leg up, or to kneecap a foreign adversary who’s making a play at market capture.
Trump doesn’t have anything close to the market awareness to make these judgement calls with any degree of accuracy outside of tariffing literally everything that’s imported and hoping it hits some of the right spots.
Kinda? Humans consume a lot more sugar than they did 10,000 years ago, in addition to other foodstuff that are terrible for your teeth
Surprisingly easy boss battle, everyone just says they hate it because it’ll randomly broadcast facts about science fiction media that makes people annoyed and apparently that’s a greater sin than genuine malice.
Because it isn’t burning, it’s exploding like a very big big big stick of TNT that’s going off veeeeeery slowly
I actually don’t think a fully artificial human like mind will ever be built outside of novelty purely because we ventured down the path of binary computing.
Great for mass calculation but horrible for the kinds of complex pattern recognitions that the human mind excels at.
The singularity point isn’t going to be the matrix or skynet or AM, it’s going to be the first quantum device successfully implanted and integrated into a human mind as a high speed calculation sidegrade “Third Hemisphere.”
Someone capable of seamlessly balancing between human pattern recognition abilities and emotional intelligence while also capable of performing near instant multiplication of matrices of 100 entries of length in 15 dimensions.
Metabolism mostly. Kinda glommed into a listlessness of not knowing what I’m doing with my life in a professional sense.
I still think the dill pickle flavored ones taste better
Maybe you just haven’t met the right “not a sociopath” yet.
Basically, “I can’t stop thinking of dat ass lol, you said I could tap that but now I’m blueballed, so I’m in the basement feeling like a loser while jacking off to you and trying to hold the spit until you get here.”
Some of those terms are basically the equivalent of appending lol or XD or rofl onto the end of every sentence, but yeah, it’s basically just “ayo lemme smash already gurl!”
Shoulda spray painted “weirdo” on it just to provoke them into super Saiyan truck mode
As in our profits and minimized losses.
I say make it a gradient based on zip codes.
High enough that the local average rent is no more than 30% of it.
Doesn’t just make sure workers get paid adequately wherever they are, also provides a slight incentive towards making jobs in less developed regions of the country to bring more jobs out to the exurbs and such.
I wonder what resources are available to digitize the collection.
Genuinely one of the few ways I think Blockchain tech could be used productively, since those records are extremely hard for hostile actors to alter or damage once committed into the log. It basically becomes a permanent copy so long as the nodes are maintained.
Might not be as “authentic” but while the books have value as artefacts, the words are what take priority for preservation above all else.
Hey don’t blame us, blame the nepos who got on the board without even needing to study for it!
My MBA track actively rewards me for thinking like a socialist XD.
Association based morality is a hell of a drug.
Everything Kamala does is at best annoyingly misguided because she’s "one of them."
Everything Trump does is at worst excusable because he’s "one of us."
They don’t have principles, they believe the good people need to be protected and that the bad people need to be punished, and that what decides good from bad is who they are, not what they do.
I blame the Calvinists. Fuckers pull predestination out of their rancid anuses and we’ve all been suffering for it since!
There’s a difference between “y’all need therapy” and “in need of extended mental institutionalization”, and we can’t just write off behaviors we’re uncomfortable with as deriving from some mental malfunction, that’s how you get “it couldn’t happen here” rhetoric.
