some people like to get mad at disability benefits because they think its unfair people who dont work get a payout from the government while they have to work 50 hours at the human suffering factory every week. but if you tell them "yeah that sucks i think you should also get a universal allowance and not have to work 50 hours at the human suffering factory every week" thats apparently the wrong answer.

If the system ain't broke, don't fix it, I guess! Accounting may not be the oldest profession, but someone had to keep the books for them.

I mean, in theory I know that Excel is based on the structure of earlier accounting technology that's been around for hundreds of years -- what do we think we did to track commerce before computers? -- but it still kind of blows my mind to, for example, look at my ancestor's journal from a whaling voyage in 1770 and see spreadsheets in the back.

You know what you should do if a trans woman points out your transmisogynistic behavior? You should be grateful she likes/respects you enough to tell you at all, and even more grateful that she is being kind and gentle about it! You should take this amazing opportunity and learn something.

You definitely don't crash out and go on a ridiculous crytyped rant like you're auditioning for your two minutes on fox news, definitely don't double down and turn yourself into a 'victim' of an internet dogpile that never was.

the idea that the british empire accepted their decline with grace and peacefully and willingly withdrew from all their colonial territories and took their loss quietly is commonly expressed as fact but it's very much untrue, it's a successful propaganda campaign for them to claim that this is what happened but they were busy committing war crimes throughout their colonial territories long after supposed "independence" & they continued/continue to maintain economic control over these regions and actively killed local movements that wanted economic sovereignty, land reform, nationalization of natural resources much like the united states did/does within their sphere of influence. i say this not to minimize the atrocities the us has committed but to make a point that the uk is also guilty of these crimes up to the present as much as they'd like to pretend this was an era that ended a century ago. british colonial violence isn't something that ended after ww2 it continued throughout the 20th century and still to this day if you look at the actions undertaken by the british military and their mercenaries throughout the former empire

[handweavers]

for the past handful of years ive seen people say stuff like "well the british empire accepted their decline with grace and pulled out when they saw the ship sinking so why can't the us do that" and it's important that you understand that the british empire didn't actually do that and neither will their son lol

[handweavers]

i know this is shocking to many of you but this is the mainstream belief in the uk + the narrative that is pushed at a state level, in school, by the bbc, etc. and i've heard it expressed by many canadians/americans/australians as well. "they quietly withdrew" is not just a media propaganda thing but a programme the british colonial office undertook to cover up their crimes, see operation legacy

[tpwrtrmnky]

Fucking incredible that this is the first example they used lmao

the last one is pretty funny too

You have to have friends who think your life's passion ain't shit. You have to hang out with people who simply do notttt give a crap about the thing that you find all consuming. Because if you don't, then when you're really stressed about that thing, your friends are also gonna be stressed about it, and you're just gonna end up in a stress feedback loop with no outside input.

But if you have friends who could not possibly give fewer fucks about your calling, then when you're really fucking stressed because it feels like it's your entire world, they can say, "...You know representation theory like... doesn't matter, right? Do you want to get takeout and play a video game? Let's get takeout and play a video game." And then you will get takeout and play a video game and feel a bit better.
