The elitist that doesn’t know Ovid was Roman, not Greek.

They then focus outward and attack literally any nation they want to as the imperial center crumbles

Jumping to Linux just picking a distro

Good. Fuck Musk and fuck any of his companies and cronies.

Sic semper tyrannus

Maybe actually take a stand and get things done instead of being hollow shells ringing full of corporate money, you pieces of worthless shit

I hope the penalty is being drawn and quartered in Times Square live on national television

It really is. It sounds so simple and almost foolishly so…

But I find it very effective!

It’s wild, right? Almost like infinitely compounding upward growth is not realistic

Literally grounding myself with bare feet on soil or stone. Preferably in the sun somewhere quiet.

Or I like to meditate to hand pan music.

And the world grew dimmer for his leaving it.

We could use more people of both depth and whimsy in the world.

Romans were even more ridiculous in some ways.

A nobleman in Rome would be identified in inscriptions with not only the 3 names associated with himself, his family and his gens, but quite often by adding his father’s and grandfather’s names to the list. As well as names granted as titles.

Dudes would have like 10+ names in a list sometimes

Because the federal government creates money ex nihilo and can always service its debts when it chooses.

You paying into it has nothing to do with its solvency.

Great visualization and further explication for more visual learners. Love this type of comment on Lemmy where it’s to further discussion and help clarify.

Appreciate that now I can use “local minimum” in a correct way with people :D

They’re taught that the long run is simply a succession of short runs and that therefore short term and long term economic thinking and planning are the same,which is,of course, glaringly wrong.

Anything to fill the insatiable hole in them where a soul would be in a real human.

They constantly fall under fallacies of composition or aggregation. To think in the aggregate and long term is largely thrown under the rug.

It’s “right” for a single company to slash wages and gut employment to seek higher profit margins… But when every company does it, it ultimately destroys the capacity of the bottom to uphold the top and it collapses.

Remember when Republicans were the ones chomping at the bit to destroy Russia?

I do. I was alive during the end of the Cold War.

Fucking ghouls just keep getting worse.

As more people start to grow up in the fucked climate, they will see it as the norm.

This is aside from all the misinformation and disinformation being thrown at everyone.

“And the poor shall not be allowed even the pleasure of sugary treats. Yea, they shall have their food stamps slashed for the sin of poverty.”

Book of Jebus, chapter 6, verses 3 and 4.

Seriously, though, it seems like everything these people do is just to inflict more suffering.

Yes. Taking an existing thing and improving upon it is the literal definition of innovation.

Where they will wring their hands and wag their fingers and do jack shit to stop fascism. Spineless pieces of trash.
