I would happily pay a 40% tax rate for good public services including healthcare.

They have the 2nd highest quality of life index of all countries, with 1st being Luxembourg which is right next to them

"Anti-Work" does this better how? I'm genuinely confused

FALGSC isn't going to happen overnight, and work reform is a realistic interim solution.

Arguing for lower hours and more pay to match the massive increases in productivity we've seen over the last 100 years is totally feasible. And a step in the right direction long term.

FALGSC is currently not feasible, and at this rate automation is only making the rich richer

Yeah, "Work Reform" is much better. There's this weird trend of massively exaggerating a talking point, as the echo chamber seems incapable of thinking about any kind of optics or moderation

I love how this implies the protagonist just wants to die

To add to your point. It also, in this case, subverted my expectations of what the joke was going to be. As the standard one just implies the therapist is taking notes because you've done something weird. The expectation is subverted, as the therapist is just stealing the joke instead. Subverted expectations are often a key part of humour.

Okay, thanks 👍

Unfortunately, we all know for the US it would go fine. The UK is the same, we whine for a bit, then nothing happens

Yeah, we once adopted an Australian Kelpie that was misidentified as a Doberman, and I was a dumb fuck and didn't know better.

Australian Kelpies are nutcases at the best of times, and are capable of jumping garden fences. Our rescue had some extra issues on top of that.

He really need a huge farm to run around on. He was a darling, but had too much energy for us to handle

Can you at least make the text smaller? That way people aren't as bothered by it, but you still have your licence?

The right wing media machine, coupled with poor education

He didn't even need to read the article, "thrown" is making it incredibly obvious someone did this

I genuinely thought that this was exactly where the ad was going. I'm not American and when I see the GOPs bullshit it blows my mind

I don't think classifying cisgender as a slur is defendable, especially on its own.

Not saying it is a slur, but I've seen it used like a slur before, mostly coupled with "white" and "men"/"women". But I'm fairly sure Elon himself is against censoring language for that reason (when it comes to things that don't personally offend him). It just seems dumb and hypocritical to me

I totally agree, making sure they're seen as people is great, and changing the wording to reflect that is a positive change.

I just don't think "unhoused people" is the right one. To me it implies that it's temporary and there's some sort of action being done to rectify it. I have no idea why I have that preconception though. Maybe it's just me?

I guess something like "homeless people" is a middle ground, but it still has the stigma

I just want it to stop, it could have been productive but there's just too much vitriol now

Funny and got a chuckle, but I really can't wait for the bear meme to die. It's tiring and has overstayed its welcome.

I miss less toxic comment sections

CUDA accelerated JSON parser is sorely needed

You too, it's always nice to have productive polite discussion

That if you make a black and white statement with no nuance, it inevitably turns out to be stupid.

Freedom fighters are often branded terrorists. But not all terrorists are freedom fighters
