Yeah, not sure how the average is less than 8 hours. That’s insane back-to-nature primitivism shit

Wtf how is the high end 9 hours? That’s just my time at work. It doesn’t even include the commute, reading the news, and talking with friends.

Its capitalism that’s the problem, not inflation.

Inflation, as you say, forces people to lend money to other people. If there was extremely high inflation, there would be no hoarding of cash. Everyone would be interested in giving their money away as soon as they obtained some. That’s a good thing.

Its a one party system because the US Democratic and Republican parties have the same policies on everything that actually matters to people’s quality of life. Both provide endless funding to the military. Neither will defund the police. Neither will tax carbon or stop pipelines from being built. Neither will provide single payer healthcare. Neither will invest in building sustainable transportation infrastructure (high speed rail, interstate public busses). Neither will tax carbon or animal consumption. Neither will make universities free and get rid of student loan debt. Neither will provide housing to homeless people. Neither will comply with international laws related to war crimes or refugees. Neither will establish data privacy laws or break up the big tech industry. Neither will shutdown the NSA and illegal government mass surveillance infrastructure.

In the US it’s a one party system with an illusion of choice.

Most countries don’t have a 1 party system for this reason

I don’t know what to do, but I know these are not my people. Who can work with people whitewashing genocide. Are we supposed to pretend it’s business as usual as we send our friends’ intros, frolic at conferences, discuss monetization strategy.

To Ed Sim, Erica Brescia, Michael Dearing, and especially Matt Ocko, we’re done [47]. I’ll never pitch you again, never ask for help, never send intros or recommend you. I’m done with Boldstart, and DCVC, and Harrison Metal, and Redpoint. (I’m also done with Bessemer [48] and Sequoia [49] and First Round [50].)

Damn, the balls on this guy. Very inspiring

When you read about the Holocaust and the Nazis, you like to imagine you’d be the good guy. You’d fight the Nazis, you’d free the concentration camps. But apparently I wouldn’t. Apparently I would have just sat there paralyzed, incapable of doing anything about the genocide I see every day. Unable to think of any way to help. All I can do is retweet and protest and write a stupid blog post. I feel so stupid…

I wasn’t ready to see that my friends are Brownshirts [34]. That they actively cheer on the genocide…I wasn’t ready for my friends being [concentration] camp guards, party officials, propagandists.

Fuck, such an accurate picture

Puma itself claimed that the decision to end its sponsorship was taken a year ago, and had nothing to do with the global movement for Palestine. The Israeli Football Association rejected what BDS claimed, stating that it was a “pathetic attempt…to mislead” and that it rejected the option to extend its contract with Puma back in September.

It is slavery. Slavery was never abolished in the US.

Probably easier if they dont actively try to prevent you from unlocking & rooting
