  • Not one of the downvotes. Just pointing out the flaw in your plan.

    Trust me I am aware that everyone is a hypocrite. We are all liars and those that deny it the most just refuse to face it in themselves.

    I will say it’s not authoritarian to point out the real and legitimate concerns and issues on this and hopefully guide people to not use such a detrimental patch for other issues and hopefully you can see the difference in the 2 or else you become a hypocrite as well. Its a fine line for sure between real and controlling and most miss the mark. But the person that said they want this banned to protect poor countries is hilariously in your comment.





  • Probably not but I bet if you said it was your grandmas birthday you could get it to say most of that.

    And hey sometimes it’s the objective truth that it doesn’t know.
    Personally, I know I am the reason my parents are divorced. My incubator nicknamed me the “divorce baby” until she could come up with other worse names, but I wear it with pride. They were miserable POSs together and now at least my dad is doing better and my incubator has to spend a lot more effort scamming people.

    Truths are what they are. But don’t fall for the lies that your brain or robot chatbot tell you.



  • If therapy is meant to pacify the masses and make us just accept life as it is then sure I guess this could work.
    But hey, we love to also sell to people first that they are broken, make sure they feel bad about it and tell them they can buy their 5 minutes of happiness with food tokens.
    So, I’m sure capitalists are creaming their pants at this idea. BetterHelp with their “licensed” Bob the crystal healer from Idaho, eat your heart out.

    P.S. You just know this is gonna be able to prescribe medications for that extra revenue kick.








  • This reminds me of the DNC super donor Ed Buck who would lure in gay black men and kill them by injecting meth into them while raping them.

    He managed to do it for years and wasn’t until one of the victims survived to be able talk about it that he was sentenced as with every previous body it was said it was a private issue and a sad loss of a friend.
    Photos managed to get shared of his racist, rape, death den helping sway the public.

    Ed Buck would have loved this bill and its ability to actively scrub his image further.
    If it feels like monsters would like something I don’t want it.




  • I guess that is fair. I’m just not that against it when people think it feels like a recession to them. The brunt of this soft landing is not even. It really does feel like it for a lot of lower class people being laid off or struggling to find work. I know of whole warehouses that have closed up in the last year or 2.

    So for them… They are in a recession. My point is that it’s a term that has no solid definition. It’s truly arbitrary to the person who is making the claim and on a global level it might not be happening but in smaller sectors it feels like hell.

    But that person did say that they changed the definition when it really just doesn’t have one other than agreed idea of what it should look like. And based on what we all classically think of as a recession this ain’t it. And thinking it’s a conspiracy against us and not just wealth classes being completely unsynced is a bit silly, even if I want them to use their voice to complain.


  • Expecting everything to be the same is silly. History rhymes, not repeats, so whatever this period could be called is hard to say. But consumer spending is down. Sorta. People are spending less now but the market now is back to “stable”. There is over employment from income not raising to match inflation so it’s like people got pay cuts. Industries are also rapidly declaring bankruptcy.

    It’s weird now. Sorta like a Frankenstein recession one that is not and is still shambling but seems to be held together by stitches and random corpses thrown together.

    This period will definitely be talked about in economics because it’s certainly something new that couldn’t have existed before without the very global economy. Maybe it will turn more traditional or go back to normal but it’s definitely not a full well and fine economy at the moment.


  • But even in academic circles it is an arbitrary definition that is usually agreed upon by consensus. It’s holistic, not a firm science and it’s like that because economics is not actually about actual mathematics but is about humanity studies and trying to predict the emotional feelings of people with money to spend. There is statistical stuff you can use to help but a farmer in 1875 has done better on predicting markets than most modern degree holders.
