This library isn’t profitable; we should close it.

Chill, meatbag. You’re not the final arbiter of what is funny and what is not. Humor is subjective.

Look at what community you’re in

Thanks for the nuanced reply - I agree that, despite the clear and sweeping benefits of the Marshall plan, it did tend to give us Anglos (I’m unitedstatesian, but I appreciate the compliment regarding my interest in history <3) a bit too much of the carte blanche assumption that “we are doing the right thing” - the final form of which can be seen in both countries: the UK, with the whole Brexit idiocy and assumption that it’d be super easy to reclaim some of their former imperial glory; and the US, with the final form of our hubristic-devolving-to-toxically-narcissistic concept of “American Exceptionalism” (a sentiment, I should add, that was to a large degree based on the convenient fact of “not having large sections of our country and industrial base bombed to shit during WW2”).

Also, I do tend to accidentally write comically long and structurally baroque sentences sometimes :D

Is that the traditional or modern definition of “literal”?

Everyone expects the LLMs to do it for them

I’m not excusing German citizens by any means, but it must be mentioned that putting up with absolutely crippling economic conditions made every single German pretty fucking miserable, and liable to jump at literally anything different. As in - and this is not hyperbole - inflation so bad that price hikes were often performed every day, throughout the day, and people brought literal wheelbarrows of cash to buy basic supplies. They minted reichmark notes in denominations of billions. Everyone’s savings was wiped out. People walked away from the Weimar Republic for a reason; it’s just absolutely fucking tragic that they walked towards the populist scapegoating of fascism, because it gives that good dopamine hit from the daily hour of hate.

And there are a hell of a lot of echoes of that tale in the circumstances we find ourselves in now.

It’s a solid 30%, by all accounts.

It’s like living in The Stanley Parable

I mean it was bound to happen at some point

Now this is shitposting

It’s forbidden knowledge, not unlike teaching crabs to read.

You do not have sufficient funds to be rescued. Your health will now be removed. Please do not resist.

I mean, Reagan was step 3 of how we got here. The first two steps were Nixon, and the dawn/systematic adoption of the Friedman Doctrine as the de rigueur corporate governance tactic in the US and most of the western world.

Yeah, the American analogue is Reagan. SO MANY people jack themselves off about being a “Reagan Republican” here, and whenever I hear someone say that, I just think “oh, ok, so you’re a racist imperialist hyper capitalist without a shred of empathy, but you don’t like to say it out loud, gotcha”

Now post it in tenforward

Do I look like I know what a jay-peg is?

Muh’fuckin’ avocado toast smh
