Not as easy as it sounds. What people want and what they need are often different. Americans want gas powered cars (69%), not EV cars. But we need to switch to electric ASAP.

What about a service where you could rent sex toys through the mail? They would never interfere with mail delivery, right?

There’s a lot of fake “bronze” stuff coming out of China, so keep an eye out.

It will be interesting (and terrifying) to see what kind of legal knots they tie themselves into to argue that immigrants are not subject to the law when it comes to protections but are subject to the law when it comes to enforcement.

In linguistics this is called expletive infixation. It’s a good example of the inherent grammar of language that we are never directly taught but know anyway. For example, we know fanfuckingtastic is correct but fantafuckingstic is wrong.

Big missed opportunity to call it a shit-in.

You can’t be both pro-labor and pro-corporate. Corporate support may fund your campaign, but labor support gets you the votes and that is what matters in the end.

Looks like they will need to add a new chapter to the next printing.

Yes. These truths are things like the economy is improving but will take time, prices will never go back to what they were before Covid, man-made climate change is a real existential threat to human civilization, legalizing abortion results in fewer deaths than banning it, trans people exist, and institutional racism exists.

Some of the comfortable lies are that tariffs will fix everything, fuel prices will drop if we drill more, wars in Ukraine and Palestine can be easily ended with simple negotiation, and Project 2025 isn’t the working plan for the Trump presidency.

Explaining the election result is simple: people picked comfortable lies over uncomfortable truths.

If we are just talking about replayability, I have never put as many hours into another game as that one.

He has resting date-rapist face.
