People on Internet need to learn what loanwords are. I'm begging you all to look it up. People are not mispronouncing words from other languages when using them in english sentences, adapting words to fit with your language phonemes is normal, it's not disrespectful, the same word when put in an other language will be pronounced differently, it work like that with every languages. The only cases where it can be disrespectful is with names.

Its so funny to me that ed explicitly has an "unnatural" hair and eye colour in FMAB because everyone else with those genetics died centuries ago but no one rly mentions it like. They took a look at this angry kid with weird yellow eyes and went "yep. Not touching that". Which fair, he was so busy doing more insane shit that it was easy to forget he also looks weird

[nesting-dreams]

Ed’s too busy fucking shit up and running around for people to really get a chance to stare at him

You can tell they didn't plan this far ahead when they did their rape, murder, and kidnap festival on 10/7, if they had they wouldn't have broadcast them doing so much of all of those things while they were doing them.

Too bad the only alternative anyone can ever come up with is replacing “a guy” with “a guy in the government”.

[mornington-the-crescent]

That guy assumes all of the risk, so of course he gets the majority of the reward. If you want more of the reward, then you have to be willing to accept that you might not make anything at all; how many people would take that deal?

[cookingwithroxy]

I’m sorry, do they want to go back to the old system? Where a bunch of people with clubs came around and forced you to work for 80+ hours a week while they took all the money, and if you refused they’d beat the shit out of you?

[takashi0]

Yes, they just fooled themselves into thinking they'll be the ones beating the shit out of you for not working 80+ hours.

"Why should anyone profit off of food?" seems like a strange question to beg. The answer seems clear to me: So that those involved in distributing it can buy their own, to begin with. Or are wages already factored in when calculating profit?

Because to a certain mindset, "profit" means "steal and extort for no reason when they could give it away for free"

[cookingwithroxy]

It's very much why I don't consider anyone who says something like that to actually be a communist. Because the concept 'nobody should profit off of food' is demanding that everyone who labored to GET you that food should provide it for free.

[brazenautomaton]

yeah

like a Communist

idk if you noticed this but Communists hate it when people are paid for the work they do unless that work happens in a factory

[cookingwithroxy]

"Communists" hate it when anyone gets paid for work, unless it's someone working as a waiter or service staff, because they look down on people who's labor is labor.

But the reason I don't actually consider them Communists is because absolutely none of them hold to actual communist theory. Like, more than once I've had an argument where I've quoted the labor theory of economics and their response was to call me a libertarian.

In every way it counts, in every position where it's a practical framework they do not actually hold to any take of communist theory. And I'm reallly tired of pretending they do just because it makes it easy to dunk on communism. xP

[diogenesofsin]

It's one of those things where the term doesn't mean what the term means, which we all know I take issue with.

The term "Communist" has been pretty divorced from the reality of "someone who believes in communist theory" since the 1950s.

Although, to be devil's advocate, and because I am incredibly literal-minded. "Profit" means value in excess of what is needed to produce the thing. If you spent 200 dollars paying your apple pickers, and made 150 dollars from selling your apples, you did not make a profit on apples. You too a 50 dollar loss.

So, in a literal sense, "no one should make a profit off food" means "food should be provided at-cost, including payment for the laborers, the irrigation, the land usage, etc."

if someone says "no one should make a profit off food" and they mean "food should be provided at no cost" then that person lacks an understanding of how profit is calculated. Or is just being deliberately disingenuous.

[cookingwithroxy]

Or, and this is where it comes to with most people who are 'communist', just don't care about other people.

today I learned that in 2008, the city council of florence overturned dante’s sentence of execution if he returned from exile. yes, dante’s inferno dante, who died in 1321.

but the funniest part of this is not that they were debating the exile of a man who has been dead for over 500 years.

the funniest part is that the vote was 19-5. five people voted to uphold dante’s exile.

[stabethadeathwhisper]

The objectively funniest part of this is actually that the city that holds his remains, Ravenna, refused to give his remains back. This was a ploy from florence to have his remains moved back for the tourist money and its been ongoing for a long time. Florence had a fake tomb built in the city to trick people into visiting, and have tried to force the return of the remains.

His actual caretakers have been very steadfast in keeping them hidden, moved, or generally out of reach to respect his choice in life to never, ever, ever return to florence, even when he was first offered the chance to return. This is at this point an almost millenium long feud that florence is really, really mad about losing

[mysteryteacup]

so basically the five people who wanted to uphold his exile were in the right

Stardew valley is problematic because it forces you to have an outside cat in a threatened woodland environment

[what-even-is-thiss]

The threat to the woodland environment being me of course

Marnie asks you if you want to adopt the pet, and you can say no?

[paranoidgemsbok]
