When resources are scarce, birds will literally push the weakest chick out of the nest to increase the survival chance of the rest. They’ll keep going too, and kill them all if they have to

I feel like this should be Broseph Goebbros. That’s what the Daily Wire folks would say

Has this man even been inside a Starbucks recently? They used to be loungy places people could chill, now they’re all bland, sparsely decorated, dirty, and uninviting. There is absolutely nothing premium about Starbucks, it’s basically a fast-food chain. Once again demonstrating how far removed CEOs are from reality

Straight women visiting gay bars are fine. Bachelorette parties using gay bars as props are not fine

Yeah but much of the stuff that’s being traded on today lacks a body of evidence with which to make an informed prediction and is essentially random unless someone has insider knowledge

Just a heads up that there’s no such thing as “insider trading” on these betting markets. All of this is perfectly legal, and the platforms actually depend on insiders to improve their “predictive” accuracy. It’s also legitimately impossible to fully regulate this (besides shutting them down altogether, for which I’m totally on board) due to the sheer volume of people who have access to a bit of insider info

I was quoting Weird Al, don’t shoot the messenger

Fabuloso

Americans drive more so pay more, even when prices are higher in Europe

I recall the time they found some fossilized mosquitoes, and before long, they were cloning DNA

Where does it say the meme’s about America?

This is actually the same method Democrats used to pass the Affordable Care Act, which was a huge step forward

Ok

Engaging with the argument would be a better look than yelling derogatory things. And it’s spelled “subsidize”

Ok. What would that realistically look like? How does your plan account for the significantly higher cost burden that would be born by people who are lower income, given they’re less likely to be able to afford fuel-efficient vehicles? And how do you account for EVs, or variability in carbon emissions?

Regardless, we’re talking about funding for roads, which is a related but totally separate issue from everything else I just mentioned. Roads are a public service, and I’m vehemently against the libertarian idea of “pay per use” you’re advocating

I have no idea what sort of model you’re advocating for here

Hell yes, this is the kind of post I live for

A ton of public services use roads. Actually, literally all public services use roads. School buses use roads to bring children to school. The post office uses roads, as do firefighters and EMS. So does your electric service, waste collection, and water service

Don’t have to lose it, can just renew it early
