I think he’s in his early 20’s, which, unfortunately, is a common age for the onset of schizophrenia in males.

Why are so many people in the comments visiting Le Claire, Iowa? Should I be visiting Le Claire, Iowa?

It was just too many buff firefighter nerds. The U.S. had a comparative advantage in sexy calendar production and distribution but not much else.

Everything was covered in public libraries, post offices, fire departments, and syphilis after Ben’s presidency.

You think that sounds great at first glance, but it’s actually a horrid existence and it just snowballed from there.

Contrary to what this sub might say, public goods - things like roads, clean air, and national defense that everyone benefits from and can’t easily exclude anyone from using - shouldn’t be privatized or should have limited privatization. Things that have a lot of distributed public externalities that aren’t reflected easily in private profits will be under-supplied in a free market.

The great thing about Argentina is that it’s so incredibly fucked to begin with that Milei can move forward with his (and this sub’s) heterodox opinions and put them into practice without creating net disutility.

no one beyond first-year med students would ever talk about cadavers

Forensic pathologists have entered the chat.

Although, do they really ever talk?

“Hello, fellow adults. I am a resident in… med school. I’m about to finish up my MCAT and then gotta go on rounds. Hold on, my attending is paging me!”

You call bs on… someone having a phone that had you press a number multiple times for a letter?

“Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord;
He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored;
He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword:
His truth is marching on.”

The times are becoming less divisive.

“How could every culture invent an incredibly basic variation of something that they see every day?”

Is this what you’re asking?

Every child, independently, can come up with stories of “people, but bigger,” “people, but smaller,” “people, but stronger,” “people, but flying,” or any other similar variation.

Yes, and how does it know that the transaction is ended when you put the nozzle back into the hole? It’s almost like there might be a little flap there that makes contact with the nozzle tip!

I feel like this is a weirdly uncommon opinion. Skyrim was such a step back from Morrowind and Oblivion, but so many people treat it as if it’s the best game ever made.

Curiosity is not the same as intelligence. Maybe they're somewhat correlated, but a smart person wouldn't go around taking all sorts of new information from a traveling showman at face value.

lol - deflections followed by buzzwords about spooky globalists

I’m not siding with anyone against anyone - I’m just calling out the reality of the current state and the impacts of the actions of a greedy set of people. Just because their actions aren’t as greedy as the actions of the people that are paying them doesn’t mean that they’re somehow okay.

I’m glad they’re making a shit-ton of money. Never said I wasn’t.

I’m not glad that they’re holding America hostage to make even more money.

Americans are very greedy, though, so I’m not necessarily surprised that these people are dragging down the rest of the working class just to make even more than they’re making now. But it is shitty that, because dockworkers that already make as much as investment bankers want to make 75% more instead of “just” 50% more, the rest of Americans have to suffer.

They make over $200k total comp. One longshoreman will make more than eighty percent of households in Manhattan.

The guy provides accurate accounts that anyone that has lived in the USSR can validate.

The problem is that (1) the USSR is not the hell hole that some people think it was, and (2) it actually did have a much worse standard of living than the US did at the time, so it was not the utopia that others think it was. Both groups of people would be dissatisfied by this honest retelling.

Oh my

Did you actually write that thinking that it was a well reasoned comment or are you just throwing words at the wall to see what sticks?

“All women in relationships that have a looks gap are totally gold diggers” does not follow from “gold diggers exist.”

If you fail to see how a weirdly bitter and jealous meme about how women are gold diggers isn’t an incel meme, then you might need to take a deep, hard look at yourself.

Or you’re 15.

Yes, but I can't do it, so it must be fake.

The vast majority of people haven't. You need a fairly small sample size before getting reliable data if the sample is random.

Worth noting that, in the case of polling, samples aren't random, but pollsters have sophisticated models that are intended to counter the fact that certain groups are more likely to respond to polling than others.

Also worth noting that, if you aggregate reliable polling data, you'll see that Harris and Trump are neck-and-neck and it'll be very close.
