I just can’t shake this feeling though that things are painfully unfair

It is for everyone…

Everyone else got it, why not me?

Even if your childhood was rougher than most, some had it worse. Like, I saw a story about an adult 5’9 man in his early 20s. His parent took him out of elementary school when CPS started investigating. When he was finally rescued he weighed 70lbs and his teeth were breaking as he tried to eat food, but he was too hungry to stop due to the pain.

So you very well could have had a very shitty childhood, but it’s not as bad as that guy and you’re on your own with the opportunity to support yourself.

To look on the brighter side: all the bullshit that comes with being an adult won’t seem as bad to you.

Right/left only exists to stop us from realizing it should be top/bottom

It was William Caxton about 600 years ago who owned it.

Everything I found just now talks about how great a historical figure he was, and implies he somehow was personally doing the work.

But if you dig deeper you should be able to find reference to the Dutch workers he brought with the press who knew how to use it and actually set the type on the presses. They were the ones actually making those books that standardized English grammar and spelling.

I don’t have the time at the moment, but if you’re interested then that’s enough to start researching

Is this an English grammar rule

English grammar and spelling rules were made up on the fly by Dutch workers with a tenable grasp on the language themselves.

They just operated the first English printing presses and the owner valued quantity over quality. So they just did fucking whatever.

All brands and businesses are trying to make money

But only publicly traded ones will trade the brand recognition they’ve built for short term profits…

Investors care about quarterly growth, which literally cannot keep constantly increasing.

A private company could have a flat dollar goal for yearly profit. And not give a shit if that number goes up 100k a year at the detriment to long term profits

I thought that didn’t need explaining, but I can admit when I’m wrong.

It would be a lot more common if we had anti-monopoly laws still.

There used to be a shit ton of regional stuff like this where one family owned everything, and 10 million a year was good enough instead of needing x% growth forever.

If you’re not cutting every corner to make the quarterly % increase constantly go up, workers aren’t getting fucked over as much, at least not every time. So everyone losses when we have mega corps. And that’s the natural result of unregulated capitalism

Inherently all brands

All publicly traded brands…

Arizona Iced Tea

Dudes a multi-billionaire and doesn’t understand how someone could want more.

That’s why he puts the MSRP on the cans even tho he can’t control store prices. Most stores still sell it at 99c, because they’re still making profit on it.

He could sell them for 2x and barely lose any sales, but why?

Websites publish what people will click.

People will click what’s shared on social media. And people will share this stuff just like they will slow down for a car crash.

With stuff like ad blockers, they’re also catering to people who still don’t use ad blockers. So, lowest common denominator

Anyone smart enough to not like it is stuck in a perpetual state similar to Chidi seeing the Time Knife.

They had to use a lazy Photoshop of kids running wild in a museum, because literally any museum can, should, and would kick them out immediately.

Not reading the article (why is an article even posted here) but the author is at best writing an article they know will piss people off.

It’s rage bait, which is likely why OP posted it

Do you know engines?

Clock speed is basically RPM. And core/threads are cylinders.

So a 4 cylinder 1.8L engine at 5k rpms isnt necessarily doing more than a 350 v8 at 4k rpms.

So the numbers do mean something but you can’t just pick the one with the biggest number either.

Tomshardware.com isn’t what it used to be, but they keep an updated cpu list of how good they are at different workloads.

Tell someone “don’t get upset” and they’re gonna lose their shit

Tell them “don’t panic” and they’ll listen most of the time.

Just look up real medical issues and pick the opposite of what looks real.

The algorithms will take care of the rest because people who fall for it don’t just look up their own conditions, they start down the rabbit hole of “all medicine is fake” because that’s easier to rationalize than doctor’s are only wrong with their condition.

That’s why it’s so dangerous, you don’t have to seek it out. Those videos get high engagement so the algorithm shoves them down everyone’s throat

Nice, figured it was a joke, but it’s a pretty good one.

The reviews are gold:

I couldn’t find a buyer for my Tesla and was concerned about the depreciating resale value and the overt racism. Thank you, Steal My Tesla!

That website literally doesn’t exist tho…

I had a specialist doc a while ago who started out criticizing trump. But within five minutes was legitimately arguing that Charlie Manson would have been our greatest president and that it wasn’t too crazy for someone to only want to live with people “just like us” (both white) and that “them” really were a problem.

Like, I’m used to conversations taking a hard right turn, frankly I look like what white supremacists wish they look like, so I get it often.

But I just did not see that coming after she started out shit talking trump

He’s even losing the (relatively) wealthy and (absolutely) crazy racists now. That’s his bread and butter…

It formed because of a group of people manipulated into a protest for “our rights”.

Neither the people participating or the ones driving the propaganda ever gave two shits about anyone else’s rights.

They’d support a law requiring everyone be a fan of their favorite sports all team, because it doesn’t negatively effect them and since it aligns with their established beliefs it’s the “right” decision for everyone else anyways.

This is how “for the greater good” can do great evil and why writing off people who commit monsterous acts as monsters is fucking stupid.

We need to understand why they do this shit so we can explain to them why they shouldn’t.

What fucked us over is the only other option we’re neoliberals. They can’t talk about fixing real problems because they’re paid to ignore those very problems. So instead they try to make Dem voters think of it like sportsball too.

The problem is at best Dem voters aren’t maniac fans like Republicans. We’re the home team fans who hate our own team and wish anyone else was calling the shots. It’s like we were cursed to be born in Cleveland and LeBron James already moved away

I’m fairly certain “muck up” was the original and people just started using “fuck up” because it rhymes…

It’s a brand new account, when they drop something like that it’s because they’re trolling and hoping people make a big deal about it
