What do you think these companies were freely competing for? It’s profits. It has always been profits.

Cartels and monopolies are what happens when you have “free competition” for a bit, and then someone “wins” the competition.

The Leopards Eating Faces party is a real thing, guys.

I’m not sure we should put much faith in these scores.

I see Canada looking pretty yellow here, but we just had a provincial government call an early election and send out $200 bribe cheques. Sure they don’t call it a bribe, but I haven’t gotten a paper cheque from the government in years (direct deposit, yay) and now I have a paper cheque and a voter card showing up in my mailbox just days apart. It’s getting pretty obvious over here.

This looks suspiciously like a map of whiteness.

The current israeli state is the anti-semite’s greatest ally.

It looks like it’s relative to the 2004-2013 average, actually. Note the years listed at the bottom.

You said “if you don’t want to be overweight, you have to eat carbs in moderation.” I am not doing that, and am not overweight.

If you’re going to word something as absolute, on the internet, you better be prepared for exceptions in reply.

Fat has more than double the calorie density, I’m not sure what you mean by “high carb food have more calories”.

I like to go to the bakery down the street and buy a loaf, then just eat the whole thing while it’s still fresh. I’m a scrawny little spitfuck.

Any restrictive diet can lead to weight loss, because you’re not allowed to eat the stuff you wanna eat, so you don’t eat as much.

If there’s nothing special about carbs (and I don’t think there is…) that’s what I’d call “debunked.”

If voting could dethrone the wealthy, they wouldn’t let us do it.

You’re so much more aware of your surroundings when walking or biking.

It’s funny how much more favorable the comments are on this compared donnie’s original comments.

Canadians on joining the US: “oh hell no!”

Americans on joining Canada: “me too please!”

Oh yeah, it’s just fun to imagine murdering a bunch of civilians, who have absolutely no say in whose oil just sailed into their harbour. Disgusting.

Would you rather buy Saudi oil? American oil? Yeah, like that’s any better.

A game with “500+ M downloads” on google play, plus like a dozen other platforms it’s on.

If 0.001% of among us players became CEO assassins, I don’t think we’d have any CEOs left.

This looks like something you’d find in BioShock, or The Outer Worlds maybe.

Yes you have to consider who you’re talking to but I think a lot of us are ready to talk about patching the hole.

As a radical leftist I’m certainly not against bailing the boat, I just acknowledge that this is a temporary solution. Like, minimum wage needs to be high enough that people can work a reasonable number of hours, afford rent, and still have time to read Marx.

The minimum wage hike is still important, it’s just not the end game. If you’re saying you’re not interested in patching the hole, that sounds like a problem. If you’re saying “this hole won’t be patched for a while, but some day we’ll get there. In the meantime, bail like hell.” then, we are comrades.

Or, when someone says “abolish private property” they’re not talking about your toothbrush.

In this context, private property is the stuff you can use to generate capital. Personal property is your toothbrush, your phone, clothes, furniture, bike, car, house etc.

If you own a second house for rental income, that’s private property. The house you just live in is personal property.
