  • Well my good-faith arguments would be direct democracy (i.e. everyone votes on every change) or ranked choice, but that has its own problems. However, you didn’t say it has to be serious. So I suggest a system that locks a chimpanzee on LSD into a room with signs (options) and blinking lights. Chimp starts rolling and points to the blinky light he likes (or hates) either way, your government is operating far more efficiently than hairless apes doing something that is apparently too much work, and most are just as ill-informed as acid-chimp. I honestly think acid chimp accidentally gives you a better (albeit random) set of values than capitalism/democracy ever has.




  • Not even kidding, about a year and a half ago, I took a job in a different department at work, and within 10 minutes, the guy that I was training with, had said 3 offensive slurs within the first 10 minutes of meeting the guy. Like dude, I could go to HR right now and you’d be gone in another 10 minutes. Wtf? In 2023? I mean, the guy was 71 years old, so I kinda gave him a pass on doing that, which kinda gives me the ick, but still. I didn’t turn him in because they basically built the building around where this guy happened to be standing and got offered the job the day it opened up. Another guy, whose only 38 and should know better though actually did get a 30 day suspension for repeated racist remarks. He’s actually a smart guy but he’s been mislead. Not a very nice guy, but smart.


  • I’ve been accused of being everything; from an autocrat to a commie, left wing to right wing, liberal to conservative, bigot to bleeding heart, I’ve been called snowflake by both sides. People are fucking crazy and have even crazier ideas. It all just depends on the specific crazy that belongs to the person you’re talking to atm. I’m pretty far left, but there’s people left of me that think I’m basically Nicki Haley.











  • Way to go super mainstream. Most of those are standard sitcoms with nothing really special about them. 30 rock is good because of how absurd they get with older business culture compared to contemporary ideals.

    Community became too meta after season 2 and they leaned on that to their detriment.

    The good place and Brooklyn 99 were both great sitcoms, with both kind of dealing with heavier elements, but in the end, they were just that. They’re great in their own right being infinitely rewatchable but they’re pretty basic sitcoms.

    Scrubs was a great show as well, but it isn’t as rewatchable. They absolutely killed it on the final episode and then ruined it with 2 more seasons with a different cast.

    Friends needs to stay in the time frame wence it came from. I don’t understand why it’s so popular with people who weren’t around when it came out.

    How I met your mother was average at best. It was quotable but a background show while you surf the web.
