  • I'm in the same boat. I happen to earn more, but not really through my own education/merit/worth to society - just by virtue of the industry I work in and that I can also make computers go beep sometimes.

    For a while, my wife did earn more than me, and that was fine. My job was easier, so I did more housework and took some of the stress off her.

    Imo it's wild to be upset that you are earning more as a team just because the person earning the most on the team is a woman. Patriarchy is a hell of a drug

  • Idk why everybody hates on burger king. They have probably the best cheap fast food burger of the major national chains and also some of the better fries as long as they're fresh. Maybe I've just always lived around good burger kings, idk

  • Full text of diary entry:

    "I was raised in the nurturing embrace of the Party, studying without concern for anything in the world. There is more unknown love than love that is known and accepted. I didn’t know how to react to the happiness I was surrounded by.

    Defending the homeland is the sacred duty of every citizen, and the greatest duty is to protect the nation, which is where my happiness lies. I wear the military uniform of revolution to protect the Supreme Commander-in-Chief. I was honoured with the opportunity to be promoted to sergeant major in my company. However, I betrayed my beloved Party, which had placed its trust in me, and committed acts of ingratitude against the Supreme Commander-in-Chief.

    The sins I’ve committed are unforgivable, but my homeland has given me a chance for redemption, a fresh start in life.

    Now, I have no choice but to regain the trust I once had. I will go to the front lines in this operation and obey the orders of Supreme Commander Kim Jong Un without question, even if it costs me my life. I will show the world the invincible courage and sacrifice of the Red Special Forces (Red Commanders) of Kim Jong Un.

    When we win the war and return to our homeland, I will submit a petition to the Party."

  • puts on little round glasses, does a bump of cocaine, and pulls out therapy notes. Says, in an Austrian accent:

    Vell you see. OP vas not ze one touched by der Santa Clauz, no. In die zong, eine voman zings zeductively - offering herzelf to Herr Santa. OP's irrational anger upon merely hearing Santa Baby surely relates to zer own zexual unfufilment. OP is angry because he vas not touched by Herr Santa... or by anyvon.

  • Yeah for sure. But also, most consumers hate integrated AI - apple is a recent example. LLMs are very useful technology, but they're being sold as a way to replace workers - and thats why every corporation is racing toward them.

  • That's essentially the case. His changes, other than the austerity related ones, were intended to make Argentinian goods more competitive (cheaper) globally while actively hurting the purchasing power of Argentinians. If it "works," it'll mean inflation slows, and they hope the business profits will trickle down while businesses capture the government, income inequality increases, and businesses and billionaires accumulate more of Argentina's wealth.

  • That's not really what's happening in the meme. There's a common philosophical thought experiment about moral relativism and that takes issue with Kantian ethics that basically says: okay, you think lying is wrong, but in some situations it's morally correct - like if you're a gentile in Nazi Germany and Anne Frank is in your attic & a Nazi comes to your door demanding to know if you've seen any Jews. Because lying is wrong, do you just rat Anne Frank out? Obviously no. But if you believe that not ratting out Anne Frank is morally right, then you have to admit that lying is not wrong per se.

    Kant though was a removed and would have ratted Anne Frank out. Source:

    Meme goes back to 1797 when Benjamin Constant pointed this out to Kant in an essay. The thought experiment was about a murderer at the door looking for someone who is in your house because Nazis didn't exist yet.

  • The gospel of Supply Side Jesus clearly states that it is easier for a rich man to pass through the gates of heaven seated comfortably on the back of a camel than it is for a poor man to enter the eye of a needle. So I don't see the issue - more money = more gooder

  • Precedents. Have you heard about these? The radical antifa liberal communists have said that decisions from the past should determine laws in the fyoo-chure. Crazy. That's cray-zy. We won't let crooked Joe's corrupt socialist judges decide what laws we can make. The founding fathers are dead. That's what our failing public schools say. Possibly like Hannibal Lecter. Can someone in the crooked media fact check me?They love to fact-check me. I have the best facts. Is Hannibal Lecter dead? But the founding fathers. George Washington. Wa. Shing. Ton. What a man. 100% man. The ladies might need to cover their ears for this one, but George Washington had a tremendous hog. The biggest dick you've ever seen, folks. And he fucked, too. We love our founding fathers (turns around and salutes toward the back of the stage, does a stupid dance as he turns around again). George Washington wrote a little thing called the con-sti-tu-shun. You may have heard of it - crooked Joe doesn't want you to know about it, but I love the constitution - it says that I should pardon all of the brave January 6 patriots. Many people are saying this. Democrats don't believe in the constitution, so they won't pardon them. Only I will pardon them. I have the best pardons. But Parton. Dolly Parton. Did you know the kids don'tknow about Dolly Parton...
