/u/outwrangle before everything went to shit in 2020, /u/emma_lazarus for a while after that, now I’m all queermunist!

  • >don't siege Leningrad, take it immediately

  • They don't need actual violence to declare martial law and suspend elections. They can just lie.

  • That's still consistent, normal people don't want posts they disagree with to be seen by other people. Only debate perverts would upvote something they disagree with, because they want people to see "good discussion" or whatever.

    EDIT To clarify, as a proud debate pervert I tend to upvote people I'm arguing with just so our argument gets more visibility.

  • I think someone died that way.

  • I see voting as decentralized moderation, not as an expression of agreement or like or something.

    Upvote means "I want people to see this" and downvote means "I don't want people to see this."

  • I try to remain optimistic, but then the US does something evil again and I despair.

    Hate and spite keep me alive when the hope runs out.

  • I want you to hate America as much as I do.

  • America is the sin. It's a crime that the country even exists.

  • Isn't it more like how a rock is immune to being puked on?

    It's still covered in vomit and can make other people sick, it just can't get sick from it.

  • Ojalá

    Let them eat each other.

  • I'm sorry, you want them to have plausible deniability?

    I want him to rub people's noses in it. We are the bad guys.

  • Yeah, the US and its puppets say the election was stolen!

  • Not just complicity, active collaboration and co-conspiracy.

  • It's not exactly a lie.

    The value of the US dollar, in part, comes from selling oil in USD. Every oil source that exists outside of the dollar market hurts the value of the dollar, and sanctions on Venezuela have been encouraging oil investment and sales in yuan instead of dollars. That's partially where the inflation came from, demand for dollars by oil traders has fallen, which means stopping this leak.

    Although electrification continues, which also weakens demand for oil traded in dollars, and obviously there's Russia and the other sanctioned countries who don't trade in dollars. The age of oil wars paying for themselves is probably ending.

  • They track all purchases, and that means data they can feed into an algorithm to track typical hourly/weekly/monthly demand. If they know eggs are more in demand by X% between 7am and 11am then it certainly makes sense to charge Y% more during that time. It's all just math.

  • Yeah! Essentially all major corporations, using the just-in-time supply chain and lean scheduling, are already centrally planned. Any given Wal-Mart store knows what it needs to stock so that it never runs out and never runs out of space, the exact minimum/maximum number of people it needs to run the store, how to source everything, how much to charge for everything, etc etc.
