That’s genuinely the reaction when I pointed out how ridiculous it is for the military (or anyone really) to be overwhelmed by a rotting and slow-moving corpse. World War Z and I am Legend made the zombie apocalypse more believable.

The implication is that these surplus food could be given to other countries. But that means local farmers are out-competed (same reason why giving clothes to poor countries are discouraged because it out-competes local clothes manufacturers). Hence, when I said world hunger is solved, but it is not because of free market. But blaming free market alone is even an oversimplification; there is a more practical solution which I am sure will get a bigger pushback from majority of the world.

We already solved world hunger but due to complex reasons free market, there are still starving people.

Yeah, capital flight tax has to be implemented first to ensure that increasing taxes on the rich will be foolproof.

I just wish that people here would take time to explain why liberals are not left instead of just attacking you.

Liberalism is not left because by definition they are socially progressive but economically conservative.

I used to think the liberals are “left” because of the Americam mainstream media (by intentionally muddying political terms) interchange liberal between left. But thanks to Philosophy Tube’s beginner’s video explaining what it means, now I know better.

You mean they know exactly what the problem but choose bury their heads in the sand.

Yes, but the motivation behind the rhetoric is far more sinister and cynical. They’re demonising affordable healthcare as excuse to stay home and play videogames.

It is the combination of the pandemic lockdowns made people yearn less going on night outs, and also the price of drinks have become too damn high!

I don’t know why bisexuals are memed as being given a hard time for being bisexual, and I am too afraid to ask at this point.

Party like it’s 1999!

You know, if what everything Midas touches turns to gold because he wants to have as much wealth as possible, then eventually the value of gold diminishes and become worthless because there is too much gold circulating. He would have just crashed the economy!

Alright, have it your way. I like your cooking.

That’s racist. What did the honey do to you?

I read the cat mommy’s voice in Princess Caroline’s voice.

I hope he gets The Lighthouse treatment at the end.

If you know, you know.

I find reading philosophy in general to be better self-help than these actual new age self-help books. Taoism is particularly relevant today because of cult of productivity, utility and hustle culture which I find rather surprising people are doing-- because this trend is only serving the capital owners at the end, not yourself. Taoism teaches to slow down and at times being “useless” proves to be more useful.

The article must be old. The share button designs are like 40 years ago.

It isn’t anti-Semitic to say one is actually poor Russian desperate for money who needs to have pipe in his home installed by posting back to back to reach a quota.

Gotta pump up the numbers to also save enough money to leave Russia at some point, before the country crashes after the war in Ukraine. Putin will be dead, and there isn’t anyone worth their salt to replace him to keep the country. If anything, Russia will likely be a Chinese vassal in the future.

Money speaks. You of all people should know that.
