  • Been a while since econ 101 but I think tariffs are calculated as a cost of production shifting the supply curve to the left and also decreasing demand which shifts the demand curve to the left as well which should result in a nearly net zero impact for the company itself.

    Anecdotally, avocado prices have plummeted in Canada due to American demand “decreasing” resulting in excess supply.

    Yes, strap-on tails were common back then. Funnily enough, the original ones were developed by hunters to help them blend in with other animals. As time went on they were adopted by women as a symbol of counter-culture like “women can also hunt” kinda thing. They would often bejewel them as a sign of wealth.

    They found some kind of hip harness with a phallic looking tail attached so I think they were simply ancient cosplayers and this is one big confusion. Gay people only started turning up when big pharma made us inject nanobots disguised as “covid vaselines” or whatever, I unno, I’m not a diseasologist but I’ve learned a lot from facebook.







  • An illness can be defined as something acquired whereas chemical imbalances, brains wired differently than “average” are inherent. Think of it as diabetes type 1 and 2. One you are born with and the other is one you develope.

    A pedophile who does not act on their impulses is the same as a psychopath masking their personality. They are inhibiting who they are and if not given the proper support and monitoring will cause damage to others.

    Historical psychopathy is a whole other issue which we would need to discuss lead poisoning.

    I’m not promoting retribution, I stated rehabilitation and professional help a couple times. I’m not arguing with you, I am trying to understand why you believe people should not be judged yet understand there are natural born killers in society.



  • The system is built by the society, the rules they enforce. The purpose of a prison system should be to separate the bad apples from the good, rehabilitate the ones we can and keep the lost causes away from vulnerable people. I’m sure you know that this hasn’t been enforced very well, especially when it comes to the most sensitive positions of power.

    I’m not saying we should try to prevent crimes that haven’t happened by locking people up right away, I’m saying we should take sociopathic tendencies a bit more seriously and address them directly with trained professionals rather than waiting for them to cause damage. That would require judging people’s character.

    If you’ve ever been the innocent victim of any crimes I think you would likely say you wish someone saw the signs earlier, and if the criminal doesn’t get more than a slap on the hand you would likely agree that our society is corrupt and broken. That it would seem the end goal is not to protect the herd, but rather provide a facade for evil to hide behind.



  • You’re right in that the majority of people have terrible judgement, not everyone has training to recognize personality traits and often make horrible assumptions. But at the core of it, if you strive for a society with as little conflict as possible, you require the general to care about the general.

    A narcissistic psychopath is inherently, by definition, incapable of doing that naturally. They can mask and imititate but left to their own devices they will always be a detriment to society as a whole. Narcissism, lack of empathy and remorse, manipulation are all grouped as Anti-Social Personality Disorders for a reason.

    They aren’t anti-social in the sense that they don’t like to party, they are anti-social in the sense that their goals do not align with a properly functioning society.
