That’s easy to say when your mortgage doesn’t depend on the Emperor’s New Clothes being real. Many if not most economists have staked their reputations and networks on pre-empiricism economics.

It’s not a simple matter of “whoops I was wrong about one thing”. Since the 1970s we’ve turned the world economy upside-down to cater to billionaires and inequality has skyrocketed. It would be like a priest admitting he reassigned molesters for decades.

Post your genome

This is what happens when people think governments have natural rights.

Isn’t this an ADA thing from which they can’t opt out?

if you’re deathly allergic to something as common as onions, you probably shouldn’t rely on fast food workers to keep you alive.

“Probably” is a big deal, though. It’s included in food stamps for a reason - many people, for various reasons, can’t prepare their own meals.

Back in June 2024, Wilson also sued Sonic for including onions on a burger.

Wait how do they differ? Aren’t radio waves the gayest waves in the electromagnetic spectrum?

Motte and bailey.

• “The Kingdom of Foo has no inequality!”
• “Actually it has quite a bit…”
• “Well it’s still moving in the right direction, and that’s what really matters.”

I’m charging a 200% tariff on your next install!

Even when it’s some asshole who’s always wrong, I try to remind myself that we’re all helping to build a free alternative to corporate social media.

Nice try, physicists.

Engineer here, I always just use pi and a “safety factor” multiplier. Extra material is expensive, and I want the cheapest part (like a screw) to fail first. We don’t just oversimplify pi because half the time it’ll make your design weaker.

(If I just got whooshed I apologize)

I want to believe you’re right. But everything else so far has just been a gradually applied multiplier on human labor, not a full replacement. Instead of a sudden tipping point, we’d watch each other become destitute one by one, perpetually looking out for only ourselves.

It would be cool to see an arrow with a pig emoji pointing at police out of uniform.

How to turn greenhouse gasses into pure drinking water. I wish I knew how to do that.

Sure, of course they’re legally immune. Just curious who they are anyways.

I’m curious where this money actually went. Like which specific people have it right now.

any disaster prone area

Ummm is anybody going to tell him about climate change

They wanted a new, two-story house, but with a tax loophole to save money.
