@UncleIroh @Justicar
I give you a respectful nod of my head in thanks.

It isn't easy, no, but the growth of virtue rarely is. I've walked that road as well; we support one another in our endeavors to become greater.

@UncleIroh @Justicar I agree. There is more detail to be described than a simple hot swap of one for the other. I also understand the sentiment and its origin.

@UncleIroh @Justicar Nice

@lain But what kind of demon? His demonology is very elementary.

@Justicar I wouldn't call that a suicide. It's more stupid placement resulting in frustration. Youtube has been a loss leader for years.

@PalePimp Anime

@lain A very lucrative form of entertainment

@Tfmonkey This is why I support all legal women in female sports. The truth will have its day, whether the ideologues wish it or not.

@lain I wonder what her metrics were before vs after she started using exposed skin as an advertising medium.

@lain I am missing some critical context.

@VD15 No one is surprised.

@lain Yes, but rarely.

@Stahesh I've found that when I have conversations with AI, it tends to be more cogent than most people, though implications sometimes must be coaxed forth.

@Stahesh @sardonicsmile My heart goes out in compassion to all the males out there who can see the truth in front of them but are powerless. All I can say is make yourselves virtuous in the sense of increase your virtues: strength, passion, wisdom, patience, fortitude, constitution, etc. so when your time does come, you will have the greatest capability to affect change.

@Stahesh Lecture over.

@Stahesh Be skeptical of everything, especially graphs and arguments that amount to appeals to emotion or that play on your desires.

Ask, "What is their solution to this supposed problem?" They'll probably tell you, and you'll find out just how much they want you to serve their own interests...

@Stahesh Companies are working with skeleton crews and running them ragged because their costs have gone up.

Remember that there is no such thing as "the economy" in a literal sense; that is only a label: There are only individuals making specific transactions for specific goods and services at specific times under specific conditions. Those who favor intervention tend to use graphs like these because it obfuscates that truth.

@Stahesh I sympathize with you on that matter. I cannot speak about those graphs' implications, but I do know that government spending paid for by inflation is out of control, and inflation acts as a tax on everyone, the consumers and the producers. If you want a target for the cause of wages not rising faster, blame those who tamper with the free market. In the free market, wages rise and fall with their supply and demand.

@ButtWorldsMan She better be grateful... That cheese is expensive, and probably locally sourced. That is a wonderful gift.
