As much as I think china might undermine these companies. China is a state as much as anyone else, as soon as it’s not advantageous to make it’s resources free/cheap to Americans they can shut off the hose too.

Don’t listen to them, boo, eat all the ham you need from whenever.

Yes. You don’t get it unless they’re related to you. To your point they have a concept that their attitude is reactionary, but if you’re in the right family with sad enough people they’ll hit you with shit like this. Honestly I don’t experience it from my family but I’ve been there when my friend’s dad pisses and moans about the current generation and how he had it harder than us and still worked more etc.

Then when you’re done, check out All Tomorrows to really just cement the nightmare fuel.

Yes, also important to note that generally they were called the deadly sins because once you committed them you were damned forever. So the “actual” sin they convey is the extreme of any of them.

So the “deadly” part of sloth was not laying around the house one day. It was the commitment to a life of sadness and self-pity. Greed is not desiring personal wealth, it’s when you start destroying other people’s lives to enrich yourself etc.

That’s what sloth as a sin is meant to imply.

Yeah, and people will tell themselves “this doesn’t apply to me, cause this gets applied to addiction and poverty, and that’s problematic. So it probably means I don’t have to change either.”

Yes, when I see posts identical to this it’s usually in the context of “left wing antifa violence is more common than right wing violence.” Which makes me wary enough of this post already.

This actually does a good job of showing why Roko’s Basilisk is stupid. You create the concept by thinking about it much like Lila. You only care about it as an act of faith, no better than believing a vengeful God exists and will banish you to hell if you don’t follow their rules.

And every comments section is one person saying “I went to therapy once and it was awful” and people being like “amen”.

Reminds me of the green text of the HR person who throws the top half of the resume pile in the garbage because they don’t want unlucky people working there

If a leaf was broken up into microscopic bits and flung into the air you wouldn’t be able to determine what color it was either. So at best the thing thats missing is that there’s a lot less air.

The wealthy now outsource all of their brains. This used to happen too, but at least the powerful usually had to at least have a brain for numbers or organization. Now we have entire machines that are designed to keep any idiot propped up like weekend at Bernie’s. Running solely on the will of hundreds of people who just don’t want to lose their paycheck.

Honestly the time this is most reminiscent of is medieval kings and rulers who were the 4th in a lineage and were so inbred and not educated that they couldn’t string a sentence together.

Inland empire is about 3 hours long

100% also cause they were learning games like Monopoly or Risk which are just not even worth a well-explained teach. Also games nowadays have actual thought and research put into how they lay out their rules.

Yeah the prescriptivism vs descriptivism debate still rages in linguistics. The prescriptivists have been losing for decades but arguments still abound in the academics.

And just because “goon” has changed meanings doesn’t mean we don’t lean on some prescriptivism. We still agree on singular definitions for lots of words (or at least contextual definitions for words with lots of different meanings).
