Well I guess that explains it lol

These ADHD memes hitting a little too hard

Kinda hard to tell because its a common misconception (for people who just read the first book). I hear what you’re sayin though

Someone didn’t finish the series lol

What’s really crazy is when you spend a ton of time editing an image because you think the idea is funny and the post goes nowhere. Then you repost some bullshit and it makes front page.

I never said we should have zero debt, that’s a strawman. Most economist recommend a moderate amount of debt due to various positive effects (some of which you mention). So the real disagreement comes here:

It’s all connected and that’s why running a deficit, a (relatively) small one, is a good thing.

The implication being that you think the U.S. has a (relatively) small amount of debt. Now, I am willing to be convinced otherwise, but I do not think that the U.S. currently has a small amount of debt. Our debt to GDP ratio is higher than other developed nations, which is concerning.

I do concede that we aren’t in danger of a debt crisis on the scale of Greece or Sri Lanka. But ~$34 Trillion in debt needs to be part of the discussion when we keep praising the economy.

My experience has been the opposite. Lemmings take everything too seriously.

Lotta BIG QWERTY’s on Lemmy

edit: I thought you were using ‘QWERTY’ as a pejorative term for ‘know-it-all’. Turns out you actually mean the keyboard.

The argument makes less sense outside of it’s context. Moore was responding to the skeptical position that we’re all in a simulation. Moore argues that this skeptical argument undermines itself: all of the language, terms and concepts which form the simulation argument are based on the sensory experience that the argument would effectively dismiss. Furthermore, any argument that we’re in a simulation is epistemologically on a par with the argument that we’re not. Therefore we should have less confidence in the skeptical argument than the common sense conclusion that we have hands.

Reminds me of the G.E. Moore epistemological argument against universal skepticism:

• Here is one hand,
• And here is another.
• There are at least two external objects in the world.
• Therefore, an external world exists.

Philosophy sometimes goes so far that an appeal to common sense is a breath of fresh air.

Yeah, I decided to take it in a different direction. Europeans have probably had enough lol

Fair enough. I’m not an incel and I have found some luck in the dating scene. But it’s important that we speak honestly about these trends in dating. And while I don’t think all problems in society stem from capitalism, I do agree that capitalism is exasperating the problems in the dating scene.

Apparently my red flags are being too short. But let’s keep pretending that women are saints 🙏🏽

I’m not a Rogan meathead, but women are absolutely super choosey these days. Dating apps have given women an inflated sense of their own (dating) worth, and they largely want tall, handsome, well-off, slightly older men.

Of course I’m painting with a broad brush here, but this post is talking in generalities anyway.

Jokes on you, I now have 3 girlfriends for the low low price of $30 a month.

Lemmy is the best reddit alternative, but it isn’t without its flaws.
