I have never needed to haul something before and I'd probably need the backseats more than a pickup.

But I really want that now.

This is the Overton Window, the window of acceptable topics for public discourse, and it's unrelated to testosterone (I know, surprising /s).

A misaligned Overton Window (like a slow response to an impending disaster) is hard to counteract because the experts dealing with the topic may lose their credibility by trying to push against the window.

But I have heard the theory that the evolutionary reason for autism may be to counteract this effect. A small amount of genuine vocal concern could encourage others to speak out and break the tension surrounding the topic.

This vocal concern is not however gonna come from the evershifting lies of the X and 4chan echo chambers.

The people can, but companies still need some kind of income to exist. The owners/ceos will just golden parachute away from the corpse

In order to tangibly pay employees/rent/servers a company needs either profits, subsidies, or ~~a ponzi scheme~~ inflated stocks.

May be unpopular opinion but I think this strategy they're going for of appealing to Republicans may work to get real change.

In the past we'd offer an olive branch and the republicans would burn the tree down. However if they can effectively split the GOP into republican vs MAGA, maybe the republicans will be less evil or ignorant towards legislation. Enemy of my enemy is my friend.

If they can jack knife the republican party, maybe it'll move the whole left/right system away from the extreme right and let us stop pretending the alt-right cult deserves any official respect or recognition.

I'm not advocating for letting the right do whatever they want or drag us down. More like I wanna coax them towards the most basic of basic of decency so we don't get literal threats to democracy anymore.

Honestly physicists don't actually know what measuring is either. We don't know when exactly the system is considered "measured" in the chain of entanglement, this is called the Measurement Problem.

Answers range from "shut up don't think about it" to "there's an infinite amount of universes split from each other for each quantum event!".

We also "knew" a bunch of other theories at the time, like his twitter implied it was Epstein related (I think, whole thing was murky).

This is more or less confirming a singular theory. Looks like he just did it because he believed he could. Maybe for legacy or infamy or just general importance.

The irony is that the assassination attempt itself has basically become irrelevant. The Vance couch meme currently has a bigger impact than this.

My brother didn't believe there were homeless children and didn't want universal healthcare because it would support fat people.

How do I just carry on as if that isn't simultaneously hilariously stupid and depressingly evil?

So a tricky thing with LGBT words is they seem to vary around specificity.

Like people can say gay to mean gay men, gay people, or any kind of queer.

Similarly transgender can mean a gender identity not matching your biological sex, which includes genderfluid; or it can mean specifically a binary trans man/woman.

These aren't different valid opinions about the label. They are literally just different definitions for the words that depend on context. The words mean all of those things but usually only one in each context.

Even in the modern day the ocean seems to devour the hubris stricken.

No wonder people worshipped it.
