Bread requires a number of other tools, cooking techniques and inventions to come around before it makes sense that it was invented. It has definitely been around a long long time, but many inventions predate homosapien, and I doubt bread predates agriculture by much if at all.

What is interesting though is that what likely coincided with the invention of bread was the invention of beer. They’re a pretty small hop away from one another.

Close up off monstrous, horrifying, dangerous gravity dragon… pull back and back and back, and realize it was 1000x magnified. It’s magnificent roar a barely audible squeak.

There’s some pretty inspiring stuff to work with here for sure.

Yeah I was gonna say, Texas barbecue is famously unsauced, at least my default.

All of them are fingers. Thumbs are fingers, but a finger is not necessarily a thumb. I dont know where people get the idea that a thumb is not a finger. So many common sayings reinforce that it is. “Counting on your fingers (including your thumbs)”, healthy babies have “Ten fingers, ten toes”, “What did the five fingers say to the face… slap”, “high five”, “five finger discount”, etc. Also, honorable mention to Princess Bride’s Inigo Montoya searching for “the 6 fingered man” which includes his thumb. “Middle finger” is not the only thing that makes no sense if you don’t accept that the thumb is a finger.

Getting too much money reaaaaally fucks with your head. Becoming a billionaire should count as a brain injury.

That’s fair. Now I wonder how liability works with that since they could hurt themselves and you in the process. And surely they are people that just cannot be lifted by one person.

Dude, I barely fit in the seats now with my phone in my pocket and you want me to carry a weeks worth of clothing and travel sized toiletries on my person?

Well, no employee is going to be expected to physically lift me and every other passenger at any point, but they will have to lift all of our checked baggage, so it feels like my weight matters less than my luggage’s weight.

The very premise of this assumes that everyone is aware of what everyone else’s job is including all of their responsibilities, that they can objectively judge how well they do their job, that they will not base their decisions based on personal or identity biases (particularly against protected classes), that they have an understanding or even basic knowledge of company budget and financials, and that they can be trusted to properly weigh the financial health of the company with the relatively value each individual’s contributions and the desire for one’s own personal gain.

I would argue that almost no person in an company bigger than 10 people is capable of most (if any) of these. Not that existing company structures are always great at all of these, nor are they usually incentivized to pay people their true worth, but the system you proposed would likely lead to massive issues in any company. Financial issues, personal issues, etc. Even if a company like this were to survive, you would likely see rampant turnover for women, minorities, young people, and anyone else that is likely to be under paid by the might of the majority that believes they are worth less than their white male seniors. Likewise, the “nice” guy manager that does do his job in the slightest but is fun to hang out with is more likely to get a raise than the serious managers who actually keep the company working and on profitable endeavors, which is likely to lose everyone their jobs when the company is no longer profitable. There are more problems with this, but that should be enough to see the pitfalls here.

Pope: slipping on noose I know.

No i agree it’s poorly phrased. But I still understand it to mean she is the one spouting the transphobia between the tense of ‘says’ and context.

“Says” implies “she says”. “I says” sounds like some mafia speak.

Also how do I save up perishables like potatoes for a big purchase? Do I have to set up a potato payment plan? What happens when I need IT services, but my profession is teacher and the IT guy doesn’t need my services, do I have to source something he needs from someone who needs my services to get his services? What if I can’t do my job without his services? Shit gets way more complicated without a uniform non-perishable national currency, fiat or otherwise.

I like your wings

How do you get so fucking absorbed into the causes of autism and yet have never even met autistic people? Even kids who are level 3 can usually learn to potty train so long as they don’t have physical impairments or learning disabilities that prevent it. It’s hard as hell, I’m sure, when they are completely non-verbal/non-communicative, have sensory issues, and struggle with routine change, and maybe not every level 3 kid gets there. But that’s certainly not the case for the majority of autistic people.

The truly classic ones I’ve read are Red Son, All-Star Superman, Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow, For the Man Who Has Everything, Kingdom Come, and the Death of Superman.

I also like the New Krypton/War of the Supermen storyline though.
