Eric couldn't understand why his game "Colonoscopy 2024" wasn't getting the traction he was sure it deserved.

Mrs Wainwright, secondary school Geography teacher used to always say "The answer is in the question".

40 years later I see things like this, and can hear Mrs Wainwright's voice clear as day.

Who are you going with David Banner or Captain Kirk?

We colonialised half the world over centuries for spices, and this is what we eat.

He has the biggest brain, the best words, and the most fingers.

The subtle political commentary in Glass Onion.

Isaac Newton inventing the woke agenda in 1669.

I am a socialist.

I'm not supporting any particular leader, party, government, ideological dogma, or even economic structure.

I believe these things are just resources to be managed, in the service of humanity.

Instead of humanity being a resource to be managed, in the service of these things.

@DLROhlms

Which part of my post is about an "extreme economic model"?

@freekbomhof

I think in the US the scale is skewed so they consider liberals to be on the left.

Their scale goes: capitalist serfs in the middle, actual Nazis on the right.

@freekbomhof

I'm in the UK and I follow a lot of US politics and feel the same.

I am not a liberal. I am a progressive.

@partnumber2 @freekbomhof

The relationship between the people of the USA and the excuse they have for "the left"

"Hey can we have healthcare?"

"No"

"Adult education?"

"No"

"Regulate firearms so my kid can go to school?"

"No"

"A proper welfare system?"

"No"

"At least make life easier for migrants?"

"No"

"Well, why am I voting for you again?"

"You better. Because otherwise you get the bad guy"

@Outersider @BigJesusTrashcan @SocialistStan @TechyDad

You broke the capitalism Stockholm Syndrome.

Because older generations tend to be more conservative than younger generations, it looks like people get more conservative with age.

This is, thankfully, untrue.

People get more progressive with age.

It's just that previous generations get a little left behind. The jump between generations is bigger than the progress that happens within people, giving the illusion that older people become more conservative.

Some good news for once. 😊

I'm an atheist, but karma is real y'all. What good is it to live in a world where I have more and people around me are miserable.

Cities that have a high wealth disparity also have a high crime rate. By taking from society to enrich themselves personally, people end up unable to walk down the street, and have to create gated communities.

We live in the world we collectively make.
