Only solution is to make them pay back the state for their time in jail, then they'll finally be incentivized. Poor Liz Holmes should be spared that unnecessary expense by not putting her in jail though.

Okay, okay yes, inflation is being driven by corporations squeezing people dry and not because workers had too much money. So sure, we curb stomped your savings using the fed and crushed your wages. But have you thought about how our greed is actually good for Number?

Pretty sure that's that one guy who wrote about tulpas in like the 1800's e: It was a lady in the first half of the 1900's: quote:Spiritualist Alexandra David-Néel stated that she had observed Buddhist tulpa creation practices in 20th-century Tibet.[6][1] She described tulpas as "magic formations generated by a powerful concentration of thought."[17]: 331 David-Néel believed that a tulpa could develop a mind of its own: "Once the tulpa is endowed with enough vitality to be capable of playing the part of a real being, it tends to free itself from its maker's control. According to David-Néel, this happens nearly mechanically, just as the child, when her body is completed and able to live apart, leaves its mother's womb."[17]: 283 She said she had created such a tulpa in the image of a jolly Friar Tuck-like monk, which she claimed had later developed independent thought and had to be destroyed.[18][3] David-Néel raised the possibility that her experience was illusory: "I may have created my own hallucination", though she said others could see the thoughtforms that she created.[17]: 176

Aquinas must've shown his creation mercy, because the "prime mover" is the name of a skid-steer at work and it lives still. It's literally called that. I think I'm the only one who gets the joke. Also gently caress Aquinas's arguments "God must exist cuz, yknow, how else this happen?" If we're just gonna officially make God mean "poo poo I don't or can't explain or perceive" than of course we're all theists. poo poo I don't or can't know absolutely exists!

(I've never really read Aquinas, but everything I've read about his ontological arguments made me want to ridicule it). It's a funny skid steer though. To help the joke I'll see that it never moves again.

Maimonides got it right with the whole you cant say anything positive or negative about a prime mover due to such statements relying on the concepts within the universe.

From my dim memories of watching my mom use one in the early 90s while I read the instructions you could call out to 911 and the support line without paying. I think. 911 almost certainly on the grounds that not allowing that would be result in swift and brutal comedy and the support line I think because there also an 800 number printed on it. I think.

I type up my article stating that drinking raw sewage might be a good thing. But you'll never see the follow up article where I say no, it is indeed a very bad thing with zero redeemable features. The check from the NYT clears just fine so who cares.

Back in the early 1900s, Lewis Hines took a bunch of pictures of child laborers that inspired lawmakers to implement protections that helped prevent exploitation. Recently, a bunch of photographs have been published of child laborers, and our main response has been to pass laws making it easier to exploit children. Modern Americans are loving inhuman monsters.
