This is a big world, people's customs vary, and I'm not one who expects everyone to follow my moral judgements, but "COUSINS ARRESTED AFTER REFUSING TO STOP HAVING SEX DURING FUNERAL CEREMONY" doesn't throw up any red flags for you?

Not trying to dunk, more wondering whether I'm missing dry humor or a language barrier.

/r/OrphanCrushingMachine

Isn't it lovely that this beautiful child, with a bit of determination and a whole lot of luck, escaped the orphan crushing machine?

Yup. Egg production is down ~2% from last year. Prices have doubled.

Egg monopolists are just saying "Fuck you, Pay me" and price gouging. Most of this country's problems stem from not breaking up big business.

Good news: Law enforcement has operatives highly placed in every domestic terror organization.

Bad news: they are not informants.

When you want a job done right, don't leave it to amateurs, go to stealmytesla.com.

That comic is almost as surprising as the term. Humor has changed so much. You'd never get away with that much dialog in a comic these days.

Galvanized iron blankets sound like what the military would issue.

Note that these are emergency powers he's using. Supposedly this is a crisis.

That was Occupy Wall Street. But they weren't useful idiots for big business, so "moderates" just laughed at them.

Brandon. Look up Mistborn. Steelheart and The Stormlight Archives are good too.

I appreciate your knack for understatement.

...or they're on the take as well.

Lots of people like Microsoft and/or don't know any better.

I think 10% of people believe nearly anything. It's basically the rounding error for a survey.

Honestly, if you had asked me 10 minutes ago "Is MacOS based on Linux?" I would have gotten it wrong. But if you asked "Is MacOS based on UNIX or Linux?" I would have gotten it right.

You'd better go to Olive Garden and get in touch with your heritage.

I still remember when someone came to /r/Wicked_Edge, a subreddit about straight razors, and asked to compare two disposable brands. People were as kind as possible.

If our oligarchs are smart, they'll keep us near that red line, without allowing us to go over it.

I'd describe this as the strategy since the Great Depression. The New Deal was a bandaid for capitalism to make it palatable enough for enough people to prevent revolution.

But our oligarchs aren't smart, or at least they think they're smarter than their predecessors. They're dismantling the things that keep the masses mollified and more people are realizing it.

Shitty title. Business school professors claim they trained an AI to judge workers' personalities based on their faces.

The article talks about why that is such a stupid and terrible proposal.

shrug Unless you're trying to gatekeep who can and can't play sports....

If we are ever invaded by monkeys with balloons, I am ready to serve.
