Literati,

I can visualize this so clearly and it feels like a fever dream

Literati,

Same when I got on ocd meds. Love being able to go and do a thing without compulsively making lists of every other tasks that I could be doing.

Literati,

Rents are skyrocketing because demand is high and we literally do not have enough housing for the number of people we have in the places they live.

Suddenly dumping more money into the economy would just increase the price bar on that demand, and prices would go up more.

Prices can increase for a lot of reasons, and going up from one doesn’t stop them from going up from another.

Literati,

Economics is just psychology masquerading as a hard science

Literati,

I remember I’d just happened to buy a resin 3d printer, and so had bought a few masks to use for that. I got into printing and painting Warhammer because of the pandemic. Still have a a small army that’s entirely printed and about 3/4 painted from that time.

Literati,

Similarly, from an engineer’s perspective, scientists are a great addition to the working group when you need to find the flaws in the system, but awful when you actually just need something to go into the real world and work 80% of the time ;)

Especially when you’re time constrained.

Literati,

They could store the families in a separate underwater bunker built on the ruins of a death cult’s sunken wizard tower too.

Literati,

Program management system for the entire division? Excel. “Agile” task tracker? Excel. Requirements manager? Oh no no, that one’s written in a word document with no version control. I have trauma. Use tools made for the thing you want to do, please.

Literati,

Next up, they’re going to go scream at the girl scouts on the corner that they’re being exploited

Literati,

The 14th is a reconstruction amendment btw, it wasn’t drafted or ratified by the founders.

Literati,

The room is pitch black, you’re relying on dark vision, and you just failed your perception check. I can definitely see this happening outside of bad DM’ing, and I think the PC being sus of a blank room in an otherwise dangerous dungeon could also be in character.

Literati,

If they were able to meet the actual up/down metrics for the subsidy, I don’t see why they shouldn’t get it. But they weren’t able to do that, so they don’t get the subsidy.

Literati,

Is this a US thing I’m too French to understand?

I’d say likely yes to this. It’s much easier to centrally govern a more geographically dense and homogeneous country.

In the US we have strong localized government (city/county, state) and the more sweeping Federal government.

And they do submit to central government, that’s exactly what the discussion in this article is about- will the central court decide to strike down their local laws?

Literati,

And why it makes great rocket fuel…

…if you ignore all the other side effects

Literati,

I feel like it’d make gift giving more difficult, but more meaningful- you would have to give people actually customized things, something you made or something you think they need that they haven’t noticed. Harder, but shows more thought than giving generic-consumer-item#528

I know this is a meme, just made me think

Literati,

For middle incomes in the NCR in DC or MD it’s usually cheaper to get the same thing in VA, on an income tax basis alone.

Literati,

Was thinking of this pod while reading the post. So good

Literati,

A friend would use "theydies and gentlethems"for dramatic effect

Literati,

For some reason I kept imagining sending this post back in time to Benjamin Franklin and how he would react

Literati,

Sounds like what the old Kirkbrides (think the stereotypical big Victorian asylum) were originally intended to be before we overcrowded them and made them closer to prisons.

Literati,

I’d assume it’s a Federally levied property tax, the rebate applied to Federal income. Could be on the basis of the county assessed value of your property though.

Literati,

I’ve been a meat eater my whole life, and a well made impossible burger is pretty damn close. There’s nothing “not meat-y” about it like I’ve experienced with beyond meat. I even use it to make my biscuits and gravy now because I can’t tell the difference at all in that.

‘Bidenomics’ is a godsend for rural America (thehill.com)

I grew up in a rural community, began my career as an organizer in small towns, and now lead one of the largest efforts to rebuild pro-democracy, pro-worker civic capacity in rural America. So I can speak with some authority when I say that President Biden, somewhat surprisingly, has ushered in a new economic paradigm that can...
