  • Yknow what always makes me laugh about certain anti trans folks is that they think "biological sex is immutable" is something that trans people disagree with. Like, yes I'm well aware that I remain biologically male despite transitioning I'm not an idiot. Your sex is immutable - the concept of sex isnt as clear cut as is often implied by this statement, but nothing is going to change your chromosomes or whatever.

  • Instead of meat I eat veggies and pussy
    I like them both fresh, like them both juicy
    I ride my bicycle to work instead of a car
    All of my groceries are divided by weight and stored in glass jars

  • I think you are expecting a lot more subtlety in people's interpretation than the people doing the interpretation deserve. Yes, super earth is clearly a military dictatorship to anyone who recognises that it is a political satire. But for those who don't, and who don't see beyond the surface veneer of "we're defending Earth from invaders"... It looks a lot like AmericaWorld, where everyone is happy and free and kept safe from the nasty aliens.

  • This is very confusing. I assumed at first that a gallon was 4 quarts + 8 pints + 16 cups, a weird way to write 8 quarts.... Because a quart in my interpretation is 2 pints + 4 cups = 8 cups. I mean the diagram does show the gallon containing all of them.

  • You can live from your work without profit. Wages are a cost, not the result of profit. I would argue it's very easy to see when greed begins - it's when people (shareholders) are paid without having done any work. Obviously there is an argument that senior managers get paid disproportionately, but a part of that will always be stock for which they will continue to earn money without doing anything at all. At least their wage is paid for doing something.

    The other commenter misses a key point that under the current system to truly compete with megacorps you need investors to build scale. Independent companies can certainly reinvest their earnings rather than claiming them as profits, which is far better than having them siphoned off, but won't get you anywhere near the kind of cash that you need. And as soon as you have investors, they expect their cut.

  • So many things we believe to be true today suggest this is not going to happen. The uncertainty principle, and the random nature of nuclear decay chief among them. The former prevents you gaining the kind of information you would need to do this, and the latter means that even if you could, it would not provide the kind of omniscience one might assume.

  • At work usually I can login without any input thanks to SSO, but occasionally it will ask for a security check. The default is to press a notification in outlook on my work phone, which I only ever use when travelling, so it's invariably off... 🙄
