7th time's the charm!

Jump

  • I strongly disagree. Children have no frame of reference, they'll watch whatever is on. When I was young I watched a lot of Hanna-Barbera cartoons and they were made decades before I was born.

  • Why does it need to be updated? Just play the originals if they're still popular and then make something new instead.

    • [Serious] Any high-quality right-wing media, books, explainers?

  • Are you talking about the soldier or the redditor?

    • It has to be a conspiracy of some kind

  • Anyone have an idea how long that is?

    • Seinfeld says that far left woke mobs have killed comedy. He also dated a 17-year-old.

  • Is there a big disparity? I can't think of any Jews that have shown support for Gaza or Palestine. I'm sure they exist, but not from what I've seen.

  • Jew supports Israel. In other news, water is wet and the sky is blue.

  • Chapelle's special's have been very controversial. I think people protested about one of them, kind of proving Seinfeld's point.

  • Then why would they sponsor a terrorist attack against the US?

  • If that's true why haven't we invaded Saudi Arabia? Or put sanctions on them or something.

    • Anger and Arteries: Surprising Link Uncovered by the American Heart Association

  • Not really surprising imo

    • Know the difference.

  • I agree. Businesses and owners have too much influence. I want more unions, trust-busting, and consumer protections. Workers seem to be organizing more at least, which is a good start.

    • I'm a Tenured College Professor. I'm Quitting. Here's Why.

    Jump

  • That is deeply insulting

    • Know the difference.

    Jump

  • I think human nature is inherently greedy and selfish, and capitalism is best equipped to use this in a way that benefits society. Workers are motivated to work harder and learn new skills to find the most rewarding job they can. Businesses are motivated to create products and run as efficiently as possible. Consumers are motivated to get as much value as the can out of their money. Everyone in the equation is acting selfishly and in their own self-interest (which I believe humans are inclined to do anyway) but when applied on a societal level, everyone benefits. However I will concede that this is a balancing act that requires some level of government regulation to maintain.

    On the other hand, I think communism only works when everyone acts altruistically. Which is noble, but unrealistic.

    • Know the difference.

    Jump

  • I think capitalism is good, but not perfect. Communism is bad.

    • Can we all agree that whatever version of predictive text we have nowadays is crap, and has been for a long time?

    Jump

  • Or when it "corrects" a word I didn't want, so I delete the part it changed and then type in what I want to say and it "corrects" it again into the same thing I just deleted. Satan could learn a thing or two from whoever invented that "feature."

    • It seems like an inefficient setup

    Jump

  • I wonder what it would be like if passing the Bar was required to be a police officer. There would be way less police officers, that's for sure.

    • Know the difference.

    Jump

  • Do you have a real-world example of a successful communist state? Because you may not like it, but those "communist" countries are humanities best attempts at enacting communism and they resulted in millions of people dying.

    • It's important to get a good interest rate

    Jump

  • You can't do that forever though. Eventually you'll run out of credit and have to pay for it yourself. And by that point you're probably getting crushed by the debt from a maxed out card, that you'd have been better off not using in the first place.
