and if you account for taxation it’ll be even less

I think some of the confusion here might be that this comic is specifically referencing booting out bigots and their apologists.

if someone is willing to argue in bad faith (in this case, specifically bigots), there is no reason to listen to that or anything else they have to say since they’ve shown they are willing to argue in bad faith at all. I also think anyone who is an apologist of them is also not worth listening to because they are in bad faith by proxy.

that being said, it’s perfectly okay to have people arguing in good faith while coming to different conclusions. there can be disagreement and that is healthy as you’ve said.

don’t worry, there’s a lot of men that get fucked too

but if they don’t walk the knife’s edge of allowing fascism, how are the ultra-wealthy Democrats supposed to make line go up?

America’s liberals have wanted gun control. go far enough left and you get your guns back.

and that’s unfortunately only true because the greedy groups have destroyed all the non-greedy ones by slaughter or forced participation

we just need to make sure that we don’t rely on their instance(s) too heavily so we only have minimal losses when they eventually do drop support.

it may be more comprehensive than trying to scrape other platforms, but the data that is available is absolutely nothing compared to what they collect on their own platforms. they’re almost certainly not very concerned with collecting our relatively mild amount of data.

i would say yes. there likely isn’t going to be some fundamental re-thinking of evolution. sure, there are details and interactions we surely don’t know about yet, but the general principles and mechanisms are astoundingly clear.

on the other hand, gravity is central to the problem of combining general relativity and the standard model. so afaik, something significant will need to change in at least one of them to resolve the issue of gravity. so we know we have a pretty massive gap in our understanding somewhere.

take a look at The Dawn of Everything by David Graeber

while just looking at the scenario itself, that’s all pretty fair. but the company’s efforts to commoditize its labor directly brought that boring job into existence.

we probably need to transition to bringing our own reusable packaging/bottling for that stuff.

this is exactly what i was trying to get at

what about numbers after 64? comment OP and i were trying to come up with a universal rule which we did in his response to my first comment

what about numbers larger than 16?

i know about hexadecimal, but what if you need to refer to a base larger than 16? i’m not saying it isn’t possible to create symbols for every number, i’m saying if you have to describe your base with more than one digit, you encounter a problem of not knowing what base that multi-digit number is in.
