I’m not cocky enough to believe I have the answers to “pretty much every problem”. And frankly there are lots of people who know what to do better than I, even on the topics I know the most about.
That being said, if a hand full of specific people would stop doing certain things I told them not to do… then I’m quite confident the world would be much improved.
It’s more like the opposite. The world would be a much better place if people wouldn’t think they know everything better than others.
Hear hear!
Ok but actually, the US needs to strike. Now. Fucking do it.
I’m down. What’s the balance of the war chest? Strikers are gonna need food.
Yep
I’ve been encouraging 'Muricans to kill Trump for a decade
If one of them used their firearms for something good, rather than compensating for their feelings of inadequacy, the world would be better off
And of course the one who had a real chance fluffed it
this is more true than you would expect
The curse of individualism. Don’t trust anyone but yourself. Always assume the average person is dumber than you are. Never settle for a participatory role when you can wrestle with someone else for leadership. If you fail, it’s someone else’s fault. If you succeed, it was only due to your own genius.
Oops it’s narcissism!
I was gonna comment “hey look someone drew my mom!” so yeah.
I don’t like soccer/whoever you call it, but I always have think that this is the same thing. People yell to the players why they are so stupid and dumb, and why they didn’t do that or this, but fucker, you aren’t who is playing.
nah it wouldn’t

if it would, you’d be hired top manager by now. you aren’t because things are not that easy

you’re running into the fallacy of the invisible self right here. you do not see the cost that you bring into the world simply by existing, because people typically have a blind-spot on themselves. they do not see the errors that they make themselves.
I’m going to be real, based on the way the world is being run I don’t think I could possibly be doing that much worse if I was in charge.

You don’t really know how promotions work, do you ?
Number 1 is legitimately hilarious. You sound like my mom giving job-search advice

The unintended consequences comment sent me 🤣 cause government programs that are a net positive are usually flawed to the point of having incentivized a the wrong action or caused a cascade of other problems.
Example - offer rebates on energy efficient equipment and home renovations like insulation solar panels etc.
Effect - subsidize existing home owners putting upward pressure on property values pushing home ownership further from renters, causing shortage in rental units.(in part / not only market force)
Solution - we need to build more rental properties! subsidize apartment developments asap moving more money from the people who need it the most lol
Maybe it’s actually a well disguised bait and switch but why reach for malice when incompetence and reactionary policies win the day.
Good thing the Law of Unintended Consequences isn’t a thing!
If I could bend the world to my will, I would force it to make some nachos for me. My downfall will be swift, humiliating, and violent.
Clawfinger starts playing
