Back around 2015, it was that, switching out characters as black. Fine. 2022 it's something much more sinister. It's the entire postmodern philosophy mixed with equity forced into stories. LOTR is about good and evil and the trium

>People line up for 15-20£ lunches because they have to, because they have been forced to go back to the office to make their daily sacrifice to Micronus, the petty god of middle management, and to Parasitus, the evil god of real estate.

If everyone took this advice, then the status games would change, because everyone would be more frugal and it wouldn't be about eating lunch with the popular kids. But because society as a collective has decided on these games, and de

Your boss gets accused of something by someone’s friend who told them in confidence, never said anything for years, and then suddenly when your boss does something one side of the political spectrum hates, the other loves, this person goes

Not to mention there is a difference in criticizing the CEO of a company for unsubstantiated and unproven claims, circulating internal letters, and getting fired, and saying that a man is not a woman on Twitter and not being able to work in

And you’re getting downvoted. A very sad state of affairs that this post is what gets downvoted nowadays. Edit: perhaps ppl downvoting should ask their local psychologist about boundaries and why they’re important

Playgrounds are sanitized in the UK and the EU as well. They’re not fun anymore anywhere in the west. This isn’t about private health insurance. It’s a much deeper issue or risk tolerance for society.

Ok, if you make that point please point me towards data on how the EU is actually better as a society or way to run countries. How much innovation comes out of the eu? How many unicorns have they produced vs the rest of the world? How are t

I don’t see how this system is obviously worse. Relying on a government that changes every 4 years, who are incompetent at almost everything (just take a look at the social media hearing in Congress), to police extremely complex and fast mo

I don’t think it does. With dengue fever the issue is once you develop antibodies the first time, the second time you get infected the antibodies actually increase the viruses chances of binding to whatever it binds to, so the effectiveness

Because Ukraine are clearly playing a very good social media game, and on social media words like Hitler and genocide work very well.

Sure, but a response could have been to invade Donbas, or some other retaliatory measure. Instead he’s bombing Ukraine into the ground including hospitals. I’m not quite sure if you are saying this is natos fault, but the level of escalatio

Jobs is the type of rockstar genius who is basically world famous by about 27, at which point they either overdose or are reborn in some way. People like this have some intuitive knowledge of the world that is right, and they know it. They

Oh come on, there are plenty of people in history who are willing to sacrifice their family for fame or fortune. You might not think it’s rational but it’s fairly common. Saying it’s irrational is explaining away pretty common behaviour wit

It makes sense why Zelensky is desperately asking for fighter jets. As long as Russia doesn’t control the skies it will be difficult to bomb Kiev into submission. I hope the poles manage to get some jets to them.

Is it just me or has YouTube gotten super boring at this point? It’s like I can feel they’ve turned down the viral KPIs, and they’re only showing established channels now, most if which are boring. I was basically addicted to YouTube a few

That’s a great way to apologize for bad cultural behaviour. Are nazis generally ok as well there are just a few bad apples? 100% of Uk based Muslims think making homesexuality illegal would be ok. Are they all just extremists then?

Jews can’t walk around in Paris or many German cities without being spit on. And it’s not white supremacists doing this, it’s muslims. And they’re not getting more integrated, but less.

There is a difference between a child and an adult. We make that distinction for a reason, and we act differently for a reason. A great analogy is to think of an eggshell with a chick inside. The eggshell provides protection for a long time

This is a genuine question, I'm not trying to be an asshole or troll you: How do you get up in the day and do anything? What motivates you? It seems you think humanity would be better off not existing. Why do you exist? I'd like t

That's a ridiculous twisting of history. The last decades have been extremely peaceful, and you could argue that even since WW2 its been pretty peaceful. If you think because the US invaded a few countries over the last 100 years that
