If you didn’t see the other comment, you really should check out the fanfic “Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality.” It’s almost 2,000 pages, extremely well written, and (to give you an idea of how the story feels) one of the first things Harry does when he visits Gringotts for the first time is realize that since the wizarding world uses a precious-metals-based currency, a competent hedge fund manager could be the richest person in the wizarding world in about a week.
Thank you for posting this! I spent a whole day off reading it and even forgot to go to bed on time 😅
(Those kinds of) protests aren’t for convincing the average person. The point of a protest is to tell the people in power “there are a lot of us, and you can’t afford to ignore us.”
It has happened before, so it isn’t impossible. But it would be so difficult that impossible is pretty much the only word that comes close.
Or maybe we get rid of the “wages = living” bit.
We could all negotiate for the full value of our labor a lot better if we didn’t have a noose around our neck forcing us to work.
Honestly you kinda just sound racist.
Like any other seasoning, MSG has its uses. I wouldn’t stock a spice cabinet without it.
So we must form our own.
Probably, but he gets points for taking the right actions (regardless of whatever his motives may have been).
Ain’t capitalism great?
Wait, what?
Infixes are present in many languages, although English tends to use them mainly for expletives. Another example would be: “Leave me a-fucking-lone!”
Star Wars is fantasy set in space. Star Trek is science fiction.
Star Wars is, in my opinion, more fun to watch. But I enjoy thinking about the concepts presented in Star Trek more.
Dems are controlled opposition and everyone knows it.
I still vote for them, at least until a better alternative comes along. But we have to build better systems because the establishment will not save us.
This is the biggest problem, yeah.
Sad truth is that the USA just isn’t ready for a woman president. Too many misogynists (women included).
Now we’re upping the funding for said genocide and actively cheering it on.
Palestine is at the top (or near the top, anyways) of my list and…
I voted for Harris. Ignoring a genocide is bad, yes, but cheering it on is worse. I don’t think anyone in Gaza was cheering when they heard the news Trump was elected.
I think people don’t understand that (under the fptp voting system) voting isn’t some kind of stamp of approval. You can still criticize someone you vote for. Voting is harm reduction, plain and simple.
There is always the “people’s impeachment.” I hear it has been popular in France.
Unfortunately homophones think that AIDS is God’s curse for being gay, so they shouldn’t help victims or try to cure it. It’s “God’s will.”
Under different circumstances, I think it could be really great. Canada is more liberal than the US, so more blue states would be nice.
Sorry I never responded to this, but thank you for posting the link. That’s absolutely dystopian… and exactly on brand for this administration, I’m afraid.
