I am a leaf on the wind, watch how I soar

It’s not a conspiracy, it is just the path of least resistance. Which is why capitalism is the problem.

The contradictory belief that voters who backed Trump are too stupid to understand what they voted for, but nevertheless deserve pain

This so much. The “voters are too stupid” narrative defangs any attempt to talk about how our systems misinform (or don’t inform) voters.

The badge lets others know you’re a masochistic

Is joining a union an individual action or a social circumstance?

I guess my point is that environment (social circumstance) and individual behavior is a gradient. Drawing a clear line between the two so that “individual behavior” is the largest share might actually be unhealthy framing as it takes out of focus how an individual might improve their circumstances.

Individual behavior basically includes what kind of job you’re working, because that definitely impacts much of those other behaviors like sleep and quality of food.

In b4 someone defends TYT: Cenk has basically said he is kissing ass because he thinks he can be strategic and talk them into populist economic positions. Problem is, the right uses him to say how the left has no good ideas.

If you’re referring to the legacy media, Trump is targeting them with lawsuits and threatening to pull their broadcasting license.

If you’re referring to internet media, like The Young Turks, then it has more to do with personalities not wanting to loose their relative privilege (access).

They mentioned sustained pamphleting, that sounds interesting. Anyone got some examples on hand?

This might be a good fit for a side project I’m cooking up. I am planning on using DBT but I like how this is more dynamic. How does this compare to DBT? Can it turn CTE into views?

Another feature I am hunting for is something that parses the SQL query and produces a pydantic model.

This fucker is old enough to remember the good ole days of iron lungs.

They just need to delay until the new administration is in place. Oracle’s CEO built the database of new staffers for said administration.

Corporation hired to win an election measures success in how fast they raise and burn money. Great example for how capitalism eschews value for profit AND how it paves the way for fascism by making fascism the path of least resistance.

When I say unhealthy I am not talking about you individually but the impact on the outcome of the discourse. This particular moment isn’t about proving who was right, though there is plenty of other places where that is needed, it is about integrating what we know so we can coalesce.

If that is not nihilism, then it is unhealthy discourse.

Hey pal, nihilism is a valid response but please find a healthier space for it.

He will do half of what he said he would and say that is proof he was joking.

Next you’ll tell me Hasan said America deserved 9/11…

The important thing here is that I don’t have to be civil to these people. We should shame them at every chance and equate them to literal MAGA. Only then will we win the election, which is what this is about and is not some distraction.
