Well, I’m not an expert, but I don’t think they don’t experience it so much as their religion has trained them to rationalize it away quickly. I feel like this meme template sort of reflects this, and I think the anger you’d get from bringing the contradiction to light is primarily it

I suppose that means my original post was phrased incorrectly regardless

for some reason he’s viewed as the second coming of jesus fucking christ and I really don’t understand how the fuck those delusional religious folks managed to square that in their mind.

That’s the neat part, they don’t. Cognitive dissonance is one helluva drug

Can you please leave the whole “responding when you’re not the person who was asked” bit behind, thanks

so an empathetic government could have actually just handed them all relief checks a la COVID

Eliminating bullshit on the costs side of the equation is also important work that should be done.

It’s worth noting that profit margins for farmers are a LOT thinner on average than the limits I spitballed above. You can’t quite get from raw prices to profit margins directly, but the further away you get from the farmers, the more bullshit there seems to be.

I’m not religious, but this situation really makes me yearn for Hell’s fiery maw to open up and claim the cop, the judge, and the “therapist”.

May they end up spending eternity as a human centipede. Or better yet, make it a closed loop.

Profit limits of 10-20% across all sorts of essential industries would be good, I think.

Have some kind of progressive tax incentive where if your profit comes in under the limit you get a tax credit, and if your profit is over the limit you pay higher and higher taxes until it’s quickly not worth it anymore.

I don’t know the details, but some system where responsible businesses are better off overall than exploitative ones…

How did you take away “they were asking about Mastodon” when the question mentioned bluesky first? OP was asking for a comparison of the two, which your link does not provide, putting your answer somewhere between unhelpful and irrelevant.

You keep arguing with people pointing this out as if your response was a complete answer… It seems like you cherry picked the middle of their question and ignored the rest. The more-generous interpretation of this scenario is that your reading comprehension sucks. That’s my point.

And if you’re really feeling so insulted by my pointing that out,

Dude, grow up.

edit: and it would have taken such a small additional effort to maybe clarify that you were only addressing part of the question instead of dropping a link with no explanation. You could’ve prevented a lot of confusion by being a little less lazy in your original reply.

It’s real dangerous to look at someone seeking legal representation and take that as an implication of guilt.

Not defending Mr Beast at all, I’m sure there is no shortage of actual evidence of wrongdoing

Yesssssss please regulate the shit out of social media

There might be some question over whether a simple-enough algorithm (such as newest or most voted sort) should be excepted if opted into by the user.

I’d be fine with the defaults being newest-to-oldest or top-score, depending on the type of site.

One more great reason not to use Apple phones.

Tellier was “a shining light every day he graced the halls of Morgan Academy,” school headmaster Bryan Oliver said on Facebook. “He was a student, a friend, an athlete and most important a Christ follower.

Ugh. Really got your priorities in order there, Mr. Oliver

Certainly enjoying that her campaign appears clever enough to actually stay ahead of his bullshit so far

Florida Man strikes again…

The scams and shitcoins are likely going to be the loudest because they need to cast a wide net, so it’s not too unexpected for those to be the most visible “crypto things” to your average person

I wonder whether a travel notification could have solved your issue with paying a foreign merchant.

You’re exactly right! Now I’m kicking myself for the term escaping me in the moment. :)

I wasn’t confused by it; I just think it could be further improved.
