2m =/= 6’8"

Not just that, but real rewards for solid negative results. Knowing how something doesn’t work is almost more important than a solid idea about how it does work.

Some inflation is a good thing. It keeps money moving, which is absolutely crucial to the system as it is. Wages do need to rise with or outpace it, though.

Infiltration. Not sure which direction though. 🤨

Oh to be young.

I really want this to happen but I’m worried the scales in the West will tip in the wrong direction, further toward true and open fascism… We (yes, you reading this) have a personal responsibility to be informed and speak out as best we can. This history is not yet written — we have to write it.

The absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence.

I know nothing about you or your situation, but food allergies can really mess up your life, and they’re often overlooked (speaking from experience).

It was Celiac for me… It’s such a relief to be able to make a change and do something about it instead of “just getting on with it.”

Evolution is not ‘survival of the fittest’ but rather ‘survival of the good-enough’.

You must be this tall to ride.

Making a deal with the devil to rule a world, or just to get a tenure track position.

There really is No True Scotsman. Well done.

Lol no it didn’t.

It’s classified as a dwarf planet, and is among (a debatable number of) other, similarly sized objects.

I can’t find any of this on Al Jazeera…

Thank you for saying this in a way that it could sorta land… I should know better than to try to articulate a nuanced point in response to the “umm actually” crowd.

It’s tied to the US for very good reason. Israel is effectively a vassal state to the US, and the US has used its veto power at the UNSC dozens and dozens and dozens of times to block resolutions directed at Israel, all while providing it with arms to commit atrocity after atrocity. If you don’t see how the US is deeply enmeshed in this, you are simply misinformed. This situation wouldn’t happen wothout US interference.

What more is a figurehead good for then? A figurehead is the government personifed, and you’re complaining about taking a shot at it using that framing. Are you proposing that Biden is not getting enough flack and all our energies are being wasted on Harris? Because I really don’t think that’s happening here.

You’re technically correct, but so wrong in your critique of this. It’s a political framing that may not be Fact, but it is True - she’s the voice of the government, lamenting a disaster that it created. In much the same way that you present a fact that doesn’t get at the Truth.

You’re missing the point.

She’s literally the Vice President of the USA - one of the faces that represent the government. Not some random powerless person. If it’s not directed at her personally, then who personally should be named and shamed?

Well the chart could be showing a constant mass with decreasing happiness.
