also like what do people get out of pretending that CEOs are dumb and not evil when they make bombastic claims while doing mass layoffs? no they're actually like evil people that lie to the public and their workers up til the very last possible moment to lay off workers that are now suddenly left without a stable source of income because they came to the conclusion that notifying the workers to give them any time to start their job search would hurt the company's bottom line. they're not doing any of what they're doing because they're dumb; they are doing what they're doing because of the material, financial incentive that makes them be evil to thousands (sometimes to tens or hundreds of thousands) of workers.

we have to start properly seeing our class enemies as evil. to do anything short of fully doing that is to give them more grace than they deserve. people will do all sorts of stuff out of financial incentives, including knowingly publicly humiliate themselves. We have to see that the Handôgataki is has been a Jitsuaku all along, or we'll never understand the Kabuki act for what it is.

let's all have a fun time looking up new words when we encounter them to see what they mean before incorporating them into our vocabularies

americans be like dude learning to drive isnt that bad but they dont know youre in ireland sharing a lane with a horse who is a bad person. And the horse and the instructor are friends and he keeps dapping the horse up through the window. And the horse called you a bitch under his breath so quiet the driving instructor is trying to convince you that you must have misheard him but you didnt. and theres a roundabout coming up and the horse didnt indicate

man I realize that changes in road design could make huge differences in the numbers of crashes & traffic fatalities and solely blaming people for driving badly shifts the focus away from changes that really need to be made to the way we approach driving as a society. but also. and I am not being hyperbolic at all. people are not at all conscious of how fucking dangerous driving a car is and I think if you get caught driving drunk, blowing through red lights, speeding in areas with pedestrians, you should get your license taken away for the rest of your life and never be allowed to drive again

the number of people I see every day while walking around who are looking at their phones and/or texting while driving their cars is insane. like what the fuck is wrong with you

#you are driving a multi-ton hunk of metal going 30-80mph. like you are lethal

genuinely the question i ask myself when i find myself about to do something distracting while driving a moving car is “would i do this activity while holding a running chainsaw,” which sounds ridiculous but i do think more drivers should do that.

this is another reason we need more public transport, people who should not be driving are forced to do it regularly and put their lives and others at risk. anxiety is a valid reason not to drive, being tierd is a valid reason not to drive, just feeling a bit off is a valid reason not to drive.

It is absolutely BONKERS that we have decided that owning and driving a car is basically a non-negotiable part of American life

Honestly Icelandic life as well, I'd argue Iceland is just about every bit as car-centric as the U.S.

i do think a lot of implausible medieval plot devices make more sense when considering the fact that these people simply did not have glasses

like the king arthur problem of how were these people always accidentally sleeping with the wrong person? well 1) no glasses 2) no lights and candles are so expensive 3) royal couples didn’t even sleep in the same bed a lot of the time anyway 4) arranged marriage how much do you really know your spouse anyway? maybe not very well a lot of the time 5) people are drinking a lot idk. maybe not as absurd as one might think

this post is brought to you by the one time i woke up at a sleepover and realized that without my glasses i could not distinguish one friend from the other. haunting. all of arthurian literature was unlocked to me at that moment
