It's cool that we get to see Idiocracy worldwide, not just the US version. Every dystopia gets its own cultural flare. So cute.

Thank you. Sadly, the concept of legitimizing a government isn't something most people understand enough to appreciate.

Line must go up. They probably see themselves as brave by continuing to follow Friedman's shareholder logic in the face of these events.

Bottom image is from Generation Kill. That show was fucking amazing. Lauded as one of the most realistic depictions of Marines in the Iraq war and filled with digs at military leadership (like the one in the caption). Won a bunch of awards including Emmys.

but I doubt it’s an entirely ignorant decision coming from a company known to be good at manipulating it’s users.

Damn good point! As a counter, corporate leadership is often surrounded by yes men and insulated from the masses. The meta verse and apples AR flop cost them a lot of money as a result. (Not sure if fb totally gave up on meta tbh)

Sex researchers Baumeister and Tice wrote about sexual economics.

"A heterosexual community can be analyzed as a marketplace in which men seek to acquire sex from women by offering other resources in exchange."

From an evolutionary standpoint it makes sense that women wouldn't want a partner that can't provide security for the couple when the woman would be vulnerable if pregnant/nursing.

Young men in particular have fewer resources of value to offer than at any time in most people's lives. To that point, it's not like young women are dating any better, so even if they are willing to be the sole provider, most are unable to do so.

With the traditional partnership which historically provided companionship out of the question, men are left yearning for female companionship.

Another point the researchers make, is that men will always yearn, while women have a generally easier time abstaining until conditions are right.

Good point, it could very well be. Sadly, it's really hard to tell why, and which women will respond with it. I've never heard a woman alluding to it irl, but I have seen them respond in both ways.

The ick is huge. The only woman most men can open up to without playing russian roulette is their mother (assuming a healthy relationship).

Well if we had reform oriented prisons we would run out of slave labor, duh. That's why it's in the constitution 🦅🦅

If you're lookin for me,
You'd better check under the sea,
Cause that is where you'll find me,
Underneath the seaaaaaa lab,
Underneath the water,
Seaaaaa lab....

We will see how much they actually care in the next 2 years

It's a show. The only thing established party leadership cares about on either side is lining their pockets. The longer they keep us arguing about their disfunction, the more they rob from us. One class. Working class.

Lmao the economy is great for those hundreds of feet up in the air.

Or Americans about theirs 😂
