Once again for the IFLS crowd:
QUESTIONING "ESTABLISHED" SCIENCE IS HOW YOU DO SCIENCE
the IFLS crowd is basically a cult/religion by this point

Once again, the economy is not the Dow Jones Industrial Average.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average represents the overall activity of the stock market.
The stock market is completely manipulated and the prices are wrong.
Trouble is, we have tied retirement accounts and people’s salaries to whether line go up.
The answer is not “let people have food” - food still requires work.
The answer is “let people have real money that isn’t some scam controlled by international banks”
The answer is “let people own their land without paying rent taxes on it to the government”
The answer is “let people engage in nonviolent voluntary exchange”
End the Fed.
“Time is a social construct.”
“Yeah we all just decided that inexorable decay would inescapably erode us and all our works. Know what, fuck society: I’m eternal now!”
Same basic thing.
The economy is (or at least it should be) a representation of the human ecosystem.
The economy is real in the same way that math is real. It might seem abstract and nebulous to varying degrees, but it serves as a tool that we utilize to make sense of the wider world.
Actually, that touches on other concepts like colors or matter itself not being "real." Because our senses have developed to a point where our brain can help us "see" the environment around us in order to assist us in navigating it. The same can be said (to a degree) about the economy.
But why bother going into this much detail and explanation when OP and the tweeter appear not to have the remotest grasp on wider concepts like how an economy functions
Time, yeah. I love when people try to argue that time is a social construct. Like, no, it's not. One might make an argument for the methods we use to track and measure time as being a social construct, sure. But even that argument may not hold secure at the end of the day (see what I did there?)
I worked very hard on this
hey uh what exactly is possessing you people to reblog a nearly 10 year old shrek meme that I made in high school
Your hard work isn’t going unnoticed
Fandom Problem #4137:
"{alien/non-human character} is black coded i interpret them as black so you're not allowed to dislike them or say anything negative about them", while the same person shitting on a character who's actually black, in the same show.
I mean, this character has a white VA, but sure, interpret away, unless you choose this character to be "Your Black Character" to stand behind and shield yourself from people calling you out for racism.
Unhinged behavior.

Such a moving statue ❤️
The joy in their faces– the love!
I have never before seen Mother and Child portrayed with such pure, sincere emotion. This is gorgeous.
I can practically hear the hearty baby giggle bubbling out of Jesus’ mouth!
leftists will call suburbs disgusting and inhuman while demanding everyone lives like this
God forbid somebody wants dense, efficient, walkable living spaces with good public services. I forgot we should all want to live in suburban hellscapes where you have to spend twenty minutes in a car to buy food
You sound like a colossal faggot and I think you should kill yourself.
@verycoolguy1917 , that's fine if you want to live in the city. But don't make the mistake of believing everyone wants to live that way, or that people should be forced to live that way.
Urbanites are cultists who don't even realize they're in a cult.
To be fair, most cultists aren’t aware they’re in a cult. That’s how the cult is able to maintain itself in the first place; by presenting itself as something normal externally while internally compelling members to have double standards for everything.
the social norm of “its your ethical responsibility to be constantly aware of, and angry about, every bad thing happening in the world at all times, even if you can’t possibly do anything about it” is possibly the best way I can imagine to create burnout and cynicism and depression in a population, so good job guys

I hope my mutuals visit me in jail
This is how every college student whose parents are paying their tuition talks
She's not poor, she's "broke", and clearly too stupid to realize. IMO, poor is low gross income, broke is low net income.
Likely makes 100k+ a year and spends 99% of it the moment it touches her hands.
Also, "poor" is relative.
My aunt's boss made something like $125,000 a year, with her husband making similar amounts, and she constantly complained about how "poor" she was...because her neighbors each made $300k a year.
When I worked psych I had a patient or two in similar situations: 6 figures a year and owned a big house in a nice neighborhood with a pool in the backyard and a boat, but they were "poor" because their neighbors made more money and had nicer houses and fancier pools and two or three boats. They themselves couldn't afford a second vacation house and two boats and three luxury cruises a year like their neighbors could; hence, they were "poor".
And, on the flipside, consider that folks that even most broke-ass folks on this site would consider poor live lives of luxury compared to folks in, say, Haiti. "You live in a 500 square foot apartment by yourself, and not you, your parents, and four kids? You make $8 an hour, not a day? You own more than two sets of clothes? And you can afford to pay a machine to wash them for you? And you think you're poor?"
There's a difference between not being 'rich' and being poor.
I'm not rich in money terms, that's true
But I can't look at how so much of the world lives, and even how my own ancestors lived and have the cheek to complain of being 'poor'.
Because I'm not, by any means.
And I thank God that I don't know what poverty is like.
the condemnation of shame in our culture (especially by younger generations) has gone too far. every single thing you can possibly be (a parent, fat, etc.) has a corresponding "[noun/adjective]-shaming" term that people can use in defence of any kind of criticism at all. somebody on the internet saying perhaps you shouldn't allow your kids unlimited sugar and screen time? parentshaming. it's ridiculous. yes you can be so full of shame that it's bad for you but sometimes you should listen to that nagging feeling that you're doing something wrong, 'cause ya know, maybe you actually are
