You didn’t understand my comment

But instead of asking questions you…

Just did whatever it was you tried to do there.

If you want to get better, ask more questions. Of someone else, obviously.

Ignoring the odd idea that this hypothetical person is somehow completely unemployable regardless of industry or upskilling

You’re so stuck in a capitalist mindset that you view people being “unemployable” as a personal failure on their part, rather than a success of society as a whole…

Were you out there screaming “think of the children” and “they can do anything they put their mind to” when people banded together to say maybe 7 year old children don’t have to work in the fucking coal mines anymore?

I think the issue is the study treated it as a binary thing…

Handedness isn’t binary, very few things are when talking about human anatomy.

Like, 4 wheel drive is an equal 50/50 split. Then obviously full front/rear drive.

But “all wheel drive” can be anything from 80/20 to 60/40, or theoretically any random ratio.

So while people who prefer their left hand. There’s a difference between a sleight preference and someone who’s right hand is so useless it’s easier to hold a guitar upside down.

Those people at the extreme end may be more creative when isolated out as a subgroup

Only among people who get tattoos for others…

For lots of people something as permanent as a tattoo isn’t done to increase other’s views, it’s for a personal reason.

Last names weren’t really a thing until very recently in human history.

That’s why a lot of last names are places or jobs.

You were Chris the Farmer, or Chris from Cleveland. And when your king wanted a last name to tax you more accurately, you likely didn’t give a fuck and just said whatever.

But the thing is people would say names/jobs in different languages.

An immigrant from Germany who spoke mostly German would say “My name is John Deutsch”. if they were fluent in English they may say “My name is John German”.

Same guy. Describing himself the same way, just in two different languages.

Fo Colombus specifically, that’s not even his name in his native language. It was Columbo, which meant Dove and given mostly to orphans, but at least his dad had the same name. Whenever last names became standard, Columbus’s oldest living direct ancestor was an orphan

So like, it’s not asking why just the places named after him are different, it’s why he had different names.

And the answer is people just really didn’t care that much about names until very recently.

“This was shocking,” Jennifer E. Smith, a biologist at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire and the study’s lead author, said in a press release. “Squirrels are one of the most familiar animals to people. Yet here’s this never-before-encountered behavior that sheds light on how much we still have to learn.”

What?

Squirrels eat mice all the fucking time…

They compete for the same food source, but they’re drastically different sizes, it’s like if a silverback fought a chimpanzee. And after the fight the squirrel doesn’t waste the free meal.

I left /microblogmemes and /political memes

If there’s anymore left they’re just flying under the radar.

But those are “memes” by the Richard Dawkins original meaning of the term. Not “memes” as in “haha, guys like how stupid I am, don’t you think I’m stupid” humor.

Memes aren’t just shitty jokes, but thats all that’s in the shitty meme communities.

Or if you good mateys know of any tricks one could apply, cause every other post here is about the US

A very simple method would just be blocking those as you see them.

And then keep blocking them.

It’s not exactly difficult, I do it with all the AI and most of the meme communities.

Every once and a while someone makes a new one, but you just block it when you see it.

I’m confused…

Your “business” is asking people to follow you on social media?

That’s…

That’s not a business. That’s not even a job

C’mon now…

If they can’t charge all that money to be wrong. How can they pay the US government the $722,000,000.00 they owe?

The Justice Department said McKinsey Africa had received credit for cooperating with its investigation and conducting anti-corruption training for employees. The $122,850,000 McKinsey has agreed to fork up includes a penalty it will pay in South Africa.

McKinsey is also in talks with the Justice Department to pay more than $600 million to resolve a separate investigation into the consulting firm’s work helping opioid manufacturers boost sales that allegedly contributed to a deadly addiction epidemic, people familiar with the matter have told Reuters.

You think Purdue Pharma could have made all those drug addicts customers without McKinsey pushing pills for them?

Won’t some think of the Billionaires stock portfolios!

It’s one of those things where we shortened a phrase and then it stopped making logical sense.

“The three musketeers” werent just musketeers who carried muskets.

They were “the king’s musketeers”. They were elite special forces as well as the personal bodyguard for the King. The best of the best. The “musketeer” part was the common bit, it just sounds fancy centuries later.

But the book might as well be called “The Kingsguard”

Did a random Twitter account say something?

You could go look, but I don’t see the point. It’s fucking twitter, it might be a far right racist, it might be a bot, it might be propaganda.

Who fucking cares what any random person says on Twitter?

It’s mixing the data that goes in to get the result…

Carburator.

It mixes the fuel/air ratio, prepping it before it goes into the engine.

Similarly ram is holding data while it gets adjusted.

It’s not a great analogy, but it’s pretty much all there is

Welcome to real life bro…

The victor writes the history books, so the only time the “bad guys” win, is before a revolution to explain why the asshats had to be overthrown in the first place. Virtually no country has labeled themselves the bad guys in a present moment.

Damn near every war, both sides are assholes. Situations like Ukraine are the abnormality, and Gaza isn’t a war, it’s a genocide against a civilian population.

Real life is messy. Especially when the guy in charge of the world’s biggest military is best described as a horse loose in a hospital…

Russia needs Iranian weapons for Ukraine, and they can’t get them if Iran has to use them their selves and can’t make more if production facilities are destroyed…

I’m honestly surprised it hasn’t happened yet.

Russia could just shrug and claim no one knows how Iran has them, no one is going to hold them accountable for it.

Yeah. They don’t need to ship a whole ICBM, they just need to move the payload.

Which if you wanted to, could fit on a normal truck.

NK shares borders with Russia and China, Russia would 100% let them smuggle a nuke thru Russia.

Russia and Iran don’t share a border, but can move it easily over the Caspian Sea without having to involve 3rd party customs.

So yeah, it could easily happen

That’s fine…

I’m not saying you need to be an expert on everything.

I’m just asking you to at least familiarize yourself with things you want to discuss, before making assumptions and defending genocidal religious extremists.

because lots of people view genocide as a serious topic…

Somebody could hypothetically have worked for AIPAC in the past and become a staunch opponent of Israel’s policy

I’d be surprised if you could find a single example…

AIPAC uses bribes as the carrot, then if you go against them, the being up past carrots (bribes) and use the disclosure of them as “the stick”.

Like, do you not understand how state back propaganda works? AIPAC works hand in hand with Israeli intelligence and their administration.

Literally the only reason AIPAC exists is because it’s predessor had to register as a foreign agent, so AIPAC replaced it and immediately bribed the people who decide who has to register as a foreign agent…

For me,

This isn’t a one off specific issue you missed …

You seem completely unaware what AIPAC actually is and what they do…

But still feel the need to weigh in. Why?

Why not spend 15 minutes reading up on AIPAC?

It’s true but I prefer my criticisms without ad hominems

Saying a person spreading Israeli propaganda. Openly worked for an Israeli propaganda organization seems relevant to me…

Like, I think you don’t know what an “ad hominem” is if you believe this is one
