It's got a lot of problems but also goddamn that's a depressing book. If you read it take breaks and take a walk in nature or hug your loved ones or something

Squid Game was never all that revolutionary because it locates the problem as being with inequality rather than structure.

My favorite part of that book is how clearly the cool guy running for president against the christofascist is Scott Walker. It dates the book in a very specific way.

I thought the standing seat idea was bad: Now there's this: I mean, there's no way it's getting approved - I hope. There must be regulations for being able to evacuate a plane in a certain amount of time and these abominations could never possibly pass.

Perfect. I actually read the article and it's just as dumb as you'd expect. She uses the Hunger Games as the only point of reference, and sort of handwaves the general concepts of communism/capitalism by listing the usual supsects of Communist and "communist" dictatorships. Some choice quotes: "Capitalism isn’t perfect, but [...]" "[...] there is no such thing as equality in the Games (for starters, you can never remove or level the inherent and unique qualities, talents, and experiences that individuals bring with them)." (ooooh, so close to getting it) "Are there oppressive capitalist countries? Yes. But [...]" "[...] there is such a thing as a good and moral capitalist society [...]" "Capitalism and authoritarianism can exist at the same time, but they don’t thrive on each other as communism and authoritarianism do."

Jokes on everyone sitting within 4 rows of me cause they're huffing on my farts either way. Tbh that looks moderately more comfortable for a freakishly -tall goon like me, but also kinda looks like putting yourself into a human-sized garlic press

quote:I would argue that the old man’s ability to view other human beings as things for him to toy with and to kill doesn’t stem from his ultra-wealthy status. That’s a character flaw that would be present whether he was wealthy or poor. His wealth is merely an amoral tool that allowed him to make and fund the Games (he could have done something helpful or beneficial with his money but chose not to). Money, like power, usually just amplifies already existing character traits.

There must be regulations for being able to evacuate a plane in a certain amount of time and these abominations could never possibly pass. Among other reasons this would never fly () with regulators, yes. A plane has to be able to demonstrate that it can be fully evacuated in under 90 seconds with half the exit doors not working.

Amazon has made a shitload of money off of The Boys, which is a polemic against companies like Amazon. They totally get it, and they also get that they can make money off of it, so they do.

Also I looked it up and I think just whoever used that image didn't realize it was a render of a hypothetical phallus and not an actual phallus: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tulip_(tower) Also also while looking that up I discovered that they once considered building this skyscraper that is just straight up a bad dragon product: https://londonist.com/london/history/when-battersea-almost-got-a-giant-sex-toy-skycraper
