It's circuses. Bread and circuses, except we don't get the bread part. But some people really like circuses.

It was either a genuine ableist comment or a ham fisted attempt at sarcasm poking fun at ableist folks. I see now it was the former. Edit: Pre-empting the inevitable "how is this a…

That's a reasonable answer!

Tesla [Product] is poorly supported really shouldn't be a surprise to anyone at this point. Their cars have build quality issues, self driving continues to be "just around the corn…

That's damning in another way -- it suggests we aren't spending money on the other, larger groups of PTSD survivors. Shame it has to be a side effect.

What a strange and presumptive thing to say. I'm wondering why not all PTSD cases, why specifically this relatively small group? Like, obviously we should treat veterans with PTSD,…

Only veterans? I wonder about the editorial choice to use veterans rather than, say, women who have PTSD from assaults, which is a much larger group of people. (Approximately 4% of…

There really isn't. From the mouth is basically the same distance and it contains teeth and a tongue. Through the rectum is much much much farther through meters of intestine. Thro…

Buzz off. If you were trying to make a joke, it didn't land. It scans as ableist twat.

I have stopped. I get chastised constantly for it. Leftist candidates are rare, most mainline dems are center right. I catch so much flak from vote blue no matter who types (who th…

If they have profit, we should be splitting that money towards addressing other needs. Maybe some profit is fine for ensuring sustainability or whatever, but like, potholes aren't …

Same with capitalist governments? I don't think corruption is a left/right axis like that. And I don't know, maybe it's early days, but Mamdani seems less corrupt than his predeces…

You take care of my needs I'll fill potholes. Plenty of folks would.

I mean, I don't disagree with you. But potholes are a stand in for infrastructure repair. I bike everywhere, my bike lanes and paths have holes. Water systems still dump lead, elec…

I look around and see work that needs doing all the time. Potholes, park maintenance, housing shortages, pollution. As long as we're have unsatisfied needs, there's work to be done…

"Likes to own" implies "cannot always own". Don't let perfect be the enemy of good.

Cops are already paid very, very highly and should be held accountable. Cops don't take accountability and do take the pay, so your thesis is pretty well tested and didn't work.

Cops (modern cops) grew out of capital trying to socialize the cost of protecting their interests. Whether it was slave patrols or dock warehouse security, central cops evolved to …

Cop unions are very different from basically every other kind of union. Cops aren't workers. They don't need workers unions. Teachers and administrative staff are workers. They nee…

"On the spectrum of" is doing a lot of heavy lifting for you there. How many teachers have shot someone in their care this year? I'm guessing very few. Also, "definitely not zero" …

Police need reform. Police unions need to go entirely. Police unions exist primarily to prevent police from consequences of their abuses of power. The State doesn't need unions to …
