its so weird how so many prominent economists are fiscally conservative libertarians like… at least choose something that makes sense for the currently relevant system of oppression like social democracy, why would you try to insist on implementing an even more (implicitly) oppressive and more chaotic system of socioeconomics?

Because they understand that the free market is a much better alternative to our current economy and that social democracy is shit?

“it’s so weird how people who are educated on the subject of economics disagree with the economic policies I support. why don’t they try agreeing with me as I’m obviously right and the ones who spent their lives studying this are obviously in the wrong…”

Actually the lead economist who was all for the free market, Milton Friedman, realized how damaging free reign market economies can be due to human error. The 2008 market collapse caused him to realize the error of his ways but people still follow his old teachings and arguments. A free market economy works in theory but because humans are imperfect they cannot be successful in practice. People that still argue that the government had no place in markets need to realize that their way of thinking is outdated and irrelevant and that economics have evolved past them.

Never forget

“‘What happens, happens’ is more oppressive than ‘government planning and oversight’”. Tumblr economists, you never cease to amaze me.

I’m not sure what’s more unbelievable: the claim that Milton Friedman realized the “error of his ways” two years after he died, or that it was the unrestricted free market of the pre-2008 crash economy that would’ve done it.

god… at this point I feel like child actors should be kept anonymous until they turn 18

That seems… unfeasible. Like, I understand the sentiment, but… I don’t think you could… do that?

Imagine being such a brainlet you genuinely fear that talking to someone could fucking wololo your ass into a totally different political position

Also funny how despite the alt-right constantly having debates with communists, none of them become communists.

If anything, arguing with communists have only reinforced my anti-communist beliefs.

You hear all these “you’re not a real fan unless” and it lists a hundred things, but I met a dude today who saw my Deadpool pin and asked what my favorite story arc was, and I explained that while I loved Deadpool, I was new to Marvel (I only really got into it a year and a half ago) and hadn’t been able to find a lot of the comics. Instead of making a face or a derogatory comment, he just offered to send me all the stuff he had. That is a true fan.

I told the guy at the comic shop when I went in for Black Widow that I’d seen a few Harley Quinn panels on Tumblr and thought it looked badass but didn’t know where to start because my entire involvement in DC fandom was watching the Batman cartoon as a kid. This guy sitting at one of the tables playing Yu-Gi-Oh, wearing a comic shirt and carrying a definitely-hardcore-fan amount of swag, spins around and goes “dude! You’ve never read DC? Check out the back issues wall. They’ve got all kinds of Harley Quinn.” He then proceeded to explain how “New 52″ was a spinoff, and had some split opinions in the fandom, but either continuity is good as long as you pick one and stay with it so you don’t get mixed on what’s going on. 

True fans love to see other people loving the stuff they love.

See how easy it is to be “that cool person who helped me get into X” instead of “that asshole who made me feel bad for not knowing everything about X”?

IT’S NOT EVEN DIFFICULT TO NOT BE A SHITLORD. YOU HAVE NO EXCUSE. And you never had one.

You’re not a true fan unless you’re honest about being a new fan or only have reference of the material from the popular mainstream material but would like to consume more despite not knowing where to begin.

TIL A black cop infiltrated the KKK in 1978. He rose through the ranks to become the head of the local chapter. He was able to gather intelligence by pretending to be a white supremacist on the phone and other forms of correspondence. He sent a white officer in his place for any in-person meetings.

Why didn’t they just have the white officer infiltrate the KKK? Seems like a lot less hassle.

When you think of robotics, you likely think of something rigid, heavy, and built for a specific purpose. New “Robotic Skins” technology developed by Yale researchers flips that notion on its head, allowing users to animate the inanimate and turn everyday objects into robots.

Developed in the lab of Rebecca Kramer-Bottiglio, assistant professor of mechanical engineering & materials science, robotic skins enable users to design their own robotic systems. Although the skins are designed with no specific task in mind, Kramer-Bottiglio said, they could be used for everything from search-and-rescue robots to wearable technologies. The results of the team’s work are published today in Science Robotics.

This would be useful for a puppeteer.

You could rent some quadriplegic people, dress them in these “robotic skins” then use them as full-size puppets.

Like what?

An engineer?

A dreamer?

A man of great imagination?

Is this what you people wanted? Because this is what you asked for. He’s given up trying to explain that was taken out of context, and only now, are you beginning to realize the magnitude of your sins.
