Numbers are not their notations.

I’m pretty sure Temu is Chinese.

We’ve found a time traveller from ancient Greece…

Edit: sorry. I mean we’ve found a time traveller from ancient Mesopotamia.

Always has been.

Whichever editor let them post “100 thousand” should be spanked one 100 times with the severed hand of whatever asshole wrote it in the first place.

It’s censeless.

Are they networked? Mine are somehow connected and the one that beeps doesn’t always seem to be the one that detected the issue.

Even if they did damage anything their message is that anyone getting mad about damaging works of art or heritage sites through direct action should be just as mad about people destroying the actual entire planet indirectly and calling for their immediate imprisonment too.

As annoying as I find them and as much as I want to preserve these things, they’re exactly right that paintings and rocks mean fuckall if we ruin our only home.

Isn’t that kind of the point of Donnie Darko? Comparing it to The Count of Monte Cristo which did that for me, the Count seems like an amazing badass as a kid but just kind of an ass as an adult; he literally says so at the end of the story, but you gloss over it as a kid. Bringing that back to Donnie Darko, he comes to the conclusion the world is better off without him.

I’d prefer an empty can of beets.

No. It says when they raised their prices according to something other than supply and demand people stopped buying from them.

Because prices are controlled by supply and demand. Not costs.

The fact that they also don’t understand that doesn’t mean you do.

Your response is to cite an article proving my point and not understand that?

The cost would not increase. That is not how supply and demand works.

It is extremely unlikely this has not been explained to you before.

Ignoring whatever semantic arguments about socialism and communism, it’s easier to just point out that statement isn’t true.

Employee-owned businesses are socialist - in the actual definition of socialism where capital is owned by the workers. They work fine, maybe even better than capitalist businesses.

Fire departments are socialist - in a slightly different definition where a non-capital resource is owned by a community. They definitely work better than the capitalist versions that used to exist.

The problem with saying anything communist always fails is that they only call it communism when it fails. When it succeeds they just call it something else.

There is a vast resource of nearly all of humanity’s collective knowledge that you can tap to learn why a govt doing something doesn’t mean it’s not capitalism.

Starvation and malnutrition plummet as crop yields increase. Unfortunately a new industry of storing food must be created to ensure the excess is preserved for times of need.

Free time skyrockets as menial labor is offloaded onto AI and machines. Unfortunately a new self-actualization industry must be created for people to learn intellectual and creative skills they didn’t have time or money for.

Higher education rates increase as governments help fund students and enact laws to keep for-profit-education from price gouging. Unfortunately untold new industries are created as unnoticed talent is given the opportunity to cultivate it.

Actually everyone listed in the joke is a lesbian…

corn

On indirect consumption, corn is largely used to feed cattle, make high fructose corn syrup, and other products that are not directly eaten as corn.

This makes corn insanely inefficient as a food source.

Yeah. It would be really convenient to calculate if the hotels just stood around in one spot for years so the taxes didn’t change every time someone got a room, but with them constantly on the move who could predict anything?
