Main Paineframe posted:like, comparing the actual internet to fax machines is pretty much accurate in terms of the actual technological impact on the economy, imo. but he didn't predict the weird-rear end speculative economy it spawned A good point with NYT op-ed levels of backed up by nothing, I'd say the speculation economy was inevitable with the wealth inequity. If every dollar of real world GDP has ten dollars sitting in a bank account, and the demand for ever increasing returns runs completely counter to the glut of capital that keeps ROI dropping. So if something that promises above-the-standard rate shows up, there's a frenzy of capital fighting each other to park its dollars. That's one hell of a motive to start making poo poo-tons of promises just to see what sticks Safety not Assured If anybody is feeling brave/drunk and beligerant, ross asshat is worrying about paganism, That leonhardt guy says walgreens used to have a moral compass, somebody apparently criticizing America on Yemen (must be clickbait.)

that douthat column is only average lovely, just more incoherent nonsense that contorts both us history and christian theology, but i love the last sentence:quote:Until then, those of us who still believe in a divine that made the universe rather than just pervading it — and who have a certain fear of what more immanent spirits have to offer us — should be able to recognize the outlines of a possible successor to our world-picture, while taking comfort that it is not yet fully formed. "certain fear" is a link to an article about exorcisms. love to call pagans devil-worshippers and dog-whistle that this is the end-times.

I would never scab a comrade, much less a friend. And any working man or woman is my friend. We much elevate ourselves beyond these worthless loving leeches upon our labor.

really queer Christmas posted:maybe next time she'll think before she commits the horrific crime of *checks notes* being unable to afford living without selling her body. She was beaten around the head 13 times in a brutal attack and strangled, allegedly by a banker who was a regular customer. Father of two Zahid Naseem, 47, is accused of the 29-year-old’s murder, at around midnight on her birthday. Why the gently caress should we care that the murderous banker was a father of two, to the point where it's given before his actual name Also interesting that we hear everything about what the dead woman did for work, but not a single article mentions rhe name of the bank where the murderer works OXBALLS DOT COM has issued a correction as of 00:07 on Dec 15, 2018 |

David Brooks morns the Weekly Standard OK, so I know nothing about this ex-newspaper or magazine or whatever. If Brooks is delusional, you're gonna have to tell me. Brooks is condemning the billionaire who owned it and some apparatchik of his for "murdering the standard and trying to make money off of it" He also accuses the billionaire of being 'nominally a christian' who crushed his own newspaper at Christmas just to dick over his employees The cause of this is because they despite being conservative, they ---- criticized Trump But this is only partially a story of con-on-con violence, because the real story here is the resentment of the apparatchik that his social betters had an intellectual conscience? Or, a 'corporate drone' thought educated and uneducated opinions were of equal value, and uneducated opinions sold better? Getting confused....Brooks is decrying capitalism as a corrupting influence My confusion is not helped by the next sentence: quote:In that sense, the closing of The Standard resembles Chris Hughes’s destruction of the old New Republic. This is what happens when the commercial forces trying to dumb down the American media run into a pocket of people trying to resist those forces. Now I'm baffled. Oh, Brooks was on the staff of the Standard when it was found by --- Bill Kristol [[and I think that's all we need] and a bunch of other people who are legends, but only to each other] Brooks says they often--- ---Wait, is the standard that publication that said Trump's base should just kill themselves with opiates because they were surplus to America? Anyway Brooks says they did 'gonzo journalism' and were influenced by Hunter S. Thompson. If Brooks wrote something while on a ether binge please post it here Bla bla, we were vital intellectuals who enjoyed life Apparently in the last issue, they had ideas on how to bring down the suicide rate. Hopefully via market forces, amirite This Xanadu was brought down by the apparatchik, who for aforementioned reasons over "the last few years" wanted to bring in partisans When the staff resisted Glenn Beck or [some other CHUD] getting access to the club house, the owner and the apparatchik killed the magazine Conclusion: The drab apparatchik will be lost in the sands, while the souls of Xanadu will shine in the firmament My piss take: Con ideology is devouring itself, Brooks writes about how awesome elitist con frat was. The connection of one devouring the other...not examined Nebakenezzer has issued a correction as of 04:32 on Dec 16, 2018 |
