I admit I like reddit very much. It’s a bigger rabbit hole than twitter on some level but often people that relay more info and less tooting their own horn or being a pipe for someone else’s rhetoric.

Do not feed the sharks?

Ax, what are you going to do if Trump wins?

Commit suicide?

Well, democrats + media...

I see where Adams is coming from. Nothing is socially destructive to outed Trump supporters like the racism connotations.

Xenon, you're a business person. Do businesses have friends among other businesses, or interests? Does that relate to how countries should operate?

Actually the law frowns on businesses operating as friends, in some senses. Price fixing would seem a friendly thing to do.

Business is designed to be ruthless (or at least I think that's an ok construct to run it). It's fine to aim to run your competitors (neighbors?) into the ground and annihilate them. I don't know if that's a good way to approach foreign relations (people used to).

That is how things have worked since the dawn of man.

Don't reject it out of hand.

He did it so they would have someone to contact if there was any problem.

He is customer oriented.

There is a reason people in New Orleans are buried above ground.

It makes it easier to get out the vote...

@Horace said in Never realized there were good recessions until now:

Well after all it does stand to reason that a shutdown will harm low wage earners more. The high earners are less immediately connected to the economic processes enabled by people going outside and spending pocket money.

However they did get those sweet sweet stimulus checks.

Agree

If you walked into bar, and there was a guy sitting at the end of the bar sipping a beer, would you walk up and slap him?

I know that I personally go out of my way to bump back everyone who bumps into me on the metro. Everyone. It takes a ton of time and it's started quite a few incidents, but I just say "hey, man, you started it."

I mean if it was a punch I'd be doing exactly the same thing amirite?

Bad comparison. If someone bumps into me by accident, I will apologize for being in his way and smile at him, shake his hand, make sure he's ok and knows I know he didn't do it on purpose. If someone purposely bumps into me, I will know the difference immediately, and I will stomp his ass into the dirt. It is silly to blame the victim when he responds to the aggressor.

Did anybody fact-check the guy fact-checking the fact-checkers?

Jolly.

What's fascinating to me is that he had no problem calling the police. In his mind, nothing about what he did was insane.

Using 2020 logic if this guy was a Trump supporter he would have injected bleach in himself and died without killing anyone.

I thought it was published by Toro’s snowblower division.

They use unobtanium enclosures to store antimatter.
