What they heard was:

“I’m not considering giving any money to your competitors.”

So they were probably happy.

The only thing that trickles down are costs.

Independently, as in not counting the income and support from a partner?
I’d say less than 5%.

Woah, nobody said anything about burning. Those are just regular, easily obtainable household items. Of course there’s always, The Implication that something could might happen.

But where else am I gonna store all my 1/4" ball bearings other than a glass bottle full of gasoline to keep them nice and clean? And the rag conveniently serves as a stopper and a way to dry the bearings if I ever need one.

But I gotta be carefull, the bearings can pop the bottle easily even if it hits something soft like a person.

I don’t think it was a scheme, just natural emergence from access to instant and global communication. There wasn’t a single point in time where people have been at tune with each other. There was always division into competing hierarchies, groups and social circles. Now it’s just happening on a global scale.

Also, if women and men are so divided, then how come there are still couples and marriages and children? Don’t base your entire global world view on your own very limited personal experiences.

And let’s not pretend people fight for somebody else. In reality the reasons for fighting aren’t that noble. You either get radicalized, have nothing better to do or nothing else to lose.

Vodka it is then.

I belive they exist, it’s just the phrase “studies show that…” has become synonymus with “I’ve once saw a blogpost that…” or “that one Insta reel mentioned that…”

People tend to forget how cheap gasoline is and how abundant glass bottles and rags are.

Amazon with worker rights doesn’t work as a buisness modell. Can’t have profits on selling cheap China trash if you have to pay everybody a living wage.

It makes non-programmers more efficient. If you reach the limits of what text editors or Excel can do natively with REGEX and have to write scripts for data formatting, AI is a godsend. Takes 10 Minutes to generate a small script, glance over it to make sure it’s ok, test it and start batch formating files rather than spend hours doing it by hand.

Studies show […]

Got references to a few of them? I assume you do, because you must’ve read them.

I don’t think kids can even procounce or comprehend the words ‘artificial insemination’.

Ultimately, capitalism is bad because it drains the only world we have of rescources making life for the next generation harder and harder. And you’re preaching this to people who will never have children.
“Cut off the hands of the armless.”

Where’s the hair wall?

Baby Driver, The Gentlemen

All cats are girls and all dogs are boys, duh.

I don’t think retail workers care enough. As long as you know the PIN, there’re shouldn’t be any issues.

Modern Medicine or the McDonalds Menu?

Yeah, they did the branding thing to people too.
