Maybe the smartest people in the room are the ones we least expect.

I mean, they are a bunch of rocket scientists. That's the group everyone has expected to be the smartest people in the room for about a century. 😁

Are we allowed to say he's gone mask off yet?

Although that was a touching article, the headline made me expect something more like this, which is also depressing:

(Note this goes only to 2021, so needs another column or two)

We weren't depleting it fast enough, let's get capitalism to help (some more)!

I cannot fathom how people can accept being forced to choose between two genuine evils

The word forced is right there in your sentence, what's hard to fathom? A third party vote is effectively a vote for Trump. I'm not going to argue with you if you still feel morally compelled to vote third party - but let's not pretend otherwise.

It seems like most Americans are gonna vote for trump and he might win.

The problem is the electoral college. We have dipshits, but not enough of them will vote for Trump for him to win the popular vote.

Democrat voters have to blame their side if trump wins. They’ve run such a dog shit pr campaign.

This is true every time. Not disagreeing with you. When Dems win nationally it's usually in spite of all the ways they tried to fuck it up.

From a capitalist perspective it’s ideal if your workers are on the verge of poverty, living paycheck to paycheck. That’s exactly where you want them.

People in that situation won’t complain. Won’t stand up for themselves or their rights. Will take poor treatment and deal with it. Will work in unethical or even illegal ways and keep quiet because they have no choice.

Even better if you can tie people’s health insurance to their job, then you’ve really got them by the balls.

I've got a pretty decent job, and earn pretty good money. But I'm the only earner in a family of four and no, we haven't made all the best financial decisions at times.

What you have described is exactly where we live, and while there isn't that much I want to stand up to at work in the first place, 100% I don't make any waves that don't have a basis in the hard facts of my job, and for this very reason. I'd like to go in an ask for a merit based raise, I'd like to fight harder for more people to be hired in our (spread very thin) department, and there are a few other things I'd like to at least ask for and feel OK about standing firm on.

But I don't, because I don't want to jeopardize what I've got.

It’s true that I would not have put up with bullshit idiots in administration.

This is, on some level, exactly what they are worried about.

I immediately thought of this. 😁

Attacks the source. Then attacks the publication. Then complains further despite that this publication link is just to avoid linking the original paywalled article (from a publication you apparently trust) wherein the same sources provide the same info.

You could have just downvoted and moved along, but instead gestures all around thread.

Theyve realized they are not going to escape being branded with this word and this is the start of a campaign to brand everyone who doesnt return their shopping cart to the corral as an insurrectionist to take the sting out of the word. After all who hasnt committed a little insurrection on their way home from work. You know, an oopsie daisy we all do.

This right here is 100% exactly what is happening, folks. Don't let it.

Thanks!

Wow that's going to be a rabbit hole. How amazing. The first one I watched was the rocket skateboard. (specifically this one: https://youtu.be/6JsOoQTHRuA )This man is going to die doing what he loves. The rocket sleigh was pretty insane too. Coolest new thing I've seen in a long time. Thanks for saying who it was.

The edit isn't showing up on kbin. Mind replying with the URL?

Hey Buddy, most of us don't have wealth, either.

I think they finally got the humor/drama ratio right for Season 3, I would be really happy to get a Season 4+ if they are going to maintain that sort of approach.

Obvious troll is obvious.

I wonder what their punishment will be. Do you suppose they'll need to dig change out of only one sofa, or two?

You folks are always so predictable.
