While this can be anecdotally true, higher order thinking does require a mastery of language.

“Investment” here is a euphemism for parasitism.

I’ve never ever ran

*run

Sorry about being pedantic about this, it’s like a splinter in my mind. It’s never “have ran”.

In the US almost 20% of the adult population is functionally illiterate.

I once worked with a guy who did not know the sun was a star and didn’t know what planets were. This was when I was in the military. I had a an unlabeled world map in my office and whenever someone new(to Germany) came in to be introduced I’d point to the map and say, “I’ll buy you a beer if you can point out our location on the map”. It was just an icebreaker so pointing at Europe was good enough. It was shocking how many people couldn’t locate Germany on a world map and quite a few couldn’t locate their home state on that world map.

I worked with another guy(a computer programmer) who thought the earth was 6000 years old. He also once told me that vertigo is when you feel like you’re standing still and the earth is spinning and indigo is when it feels like you’re spinning and the earth is still.

I work with and interact with professionals and am often reminded of something Richard Feynman said, “Never confuse education with intelligence, you can have a PhD and still be an idiot.”

The document was AI slop. I can see why they didn’t want to release it, but for crying out loud just be honest about why. The way they handled this only makes them look untrustworthy.

Actually Trump said he never read it, which was a rare instance of Trump telling the Truth.

This does not mean that someone didn’t give him a tl;dr and he said, “New Jim Crow?! Sign me up!”

Weird that AIPAC isn’t mentioned at all in the comments.

Lesser of two evils is just for general elections where you only have two choices and you need to slow the rise of fascism.

Progressives need to get on with primarying the fuck out of establishment Democrats. When you have a progressive running against a fascist in the general, polls have shown that the progressive ideas will win…if the voters are focused on policy rather than succumbing to emotional manipulation.

It’s Calvinball.

Yeah I think you’re right.

But still, they are sending money out and it will never be recovered.

If they strike it down, it will be years after the money is already gone.

And fucking Oz is releasing videos from his shitty old TV show on YouTube daily and getting a ton of views.

I hope he gets face cancer.

She wrote that 2038 is only 12 years away, and that “YOU and your classmates will be responsible for paying down the national debt.”

Nevermind that Trump and the rest of the congressional Republicans increased the national debt by 3 trillion dollars already, fuck you kid for wanting something good for everyone instead of only wanting good stuff for the Epstein class.

It could very well be that that “State” money is money collected from NYC residents.

Just because you’re Jewish, it does not follow that you can’t be anti-Semitic.

However, just because you criticize Israel, it does not mean you’re anti-Semitic. Global corporate media has been pushing this false idea pretty hard.

Meanwhile, Faaiz Hasan, a national elections coordinator for the Green Party, framed the political debate in terms of class.

Because it really is. The Epstein class engages in all sorts of trickery and manipulation to make the majority fight amongst ourselves in order to distract us from their ongoing and increasing theft of capital and resources. Racism is a great divider and is an excellent way to distract the masses.

We’ve been in a class war for decades and the Epstein class has been winning.

But if you had said that about antifa, you would have been fine.

That was my line in the sand until I was banned for liking a comment and not told which comment it was.

A hit dog hollers.

Bernie or AOC or Zohran

Or Kat Abughazaleh. If you don’t know her yet, you should look her up.
