It’s always wild to me that “facts don’t care about your feelings!!!” to those types means like “you’re not allowed to get upset if your boss harasses you” and not “there should be some proof beyond anecdata that the phenomenon we whinge about 24/7 exists”

Its rich assholes wanting to own and treat people as slaves without feeling awkward about it.

“No you see its a robot!”
No its a human bartender but one where you don’t have to hear “fuck this you don’t pay me enough to put up with these coked up assholes, i’m out”

these kinds of videos always prompt a certain Pratchett quote in my brain, from Thief of Time

I'll go further and say we need "It is irresponsible to repeatedly believe people who are obviously full of shit" to apply to voters as well. The "flood the zone with shit" people aren't winning with any specific bit of misinfo, but create a *permission structure* for believing it

The threat of "I'm going to be homeless and starve if this doesn't work out" kills so much potential in art and innovation.

start teaching this to the adults

Everyone is 12 years old theory just got upgraded to Everything is 12 years old theory.

Bobby Seale had it right more than fifty years ago.
