This is incredibly funny ngl

Doomer narrative: when people actually scrutinize what your technology does and find it isn't actually useful for much outside of boosting tech company stock prices and using up insane amounts of energy to do stuff that was previously done with a small fraction of the computing power because even the few times it does work it's terribly inefficient

Image description: the front and back of a business card made in an energetic, colourful style (vaporwave? I don't know these things).

Front text:

Yes, I am a Twin. Identical, I think.
"I saw your brother the other day!" Neato! Collect 10 sightings to redeem this punch card for cool twin related rewards. See back for info.

Back text:

Twin rewards! 1. See one of us out in public (it doesn't matter which, we are basically the same person.) 2. Ask him (or is it me?) to punch this card. 3. Once you have collected 10 sightings, redeem the fully punched card for a reward.
Reward 1: Have us stand back-to-back or side-to-side so you can compare physical features, such as height or eyebrow differences
Reward 2: Ask us about childhood identity mix-ups, especially ones where we may have intentionally pretended to be the other person
Reward 3: Say that twin-themed joke you've been dying to make ("Which one is the evil twin?" "Can you read each other's minds?")
Reward 4: Discuss your methods for telling us apart. Feel free to invite everyone nearby to chip in with their tips and tricks for identification.

At the bottom is a set of 10 twin silhouettes titled "Collect 10 twin sightings to redeem!", one of which has been punched out with a star-shaped hole punch. At one end is the word "Legboot".

It’s not an appliance the Jedi would sell you

he would not say that.

I was there when he said it actually

"oh yeah even if your opponent has an unexpected advantage that completely turns the tides of battle (you thought they were unarmed when they aren't) you shook totally just keep going with your current plan, otherwise you're a coward"

he would not say that.

you're just afraid of a big thick girlcock

Whether Sun Tzu would be into girldick is completely orthogonal to whether he would give bullshit bravado advice that will get you killed. He's the "logistics win wars" guy.

His ladycock advice would be more like "The wise general chooses an adversary who uses familiar techniques."

there is a lot we will forgive for girlcock on this site but misconstruing Sun Tzu is NOT on that list

i remember when utah's (republican) governor ended up vetoing a law banning transgender students from playing high school sports when he looked at the numbers, and there were only four trans students in the state playing sports at all. he released a clumsily worded but surprisingly compassionate statement about the decision.

I must admit, I am not an expert on transgenderism. I struggle to understand so much of it, and the science is conflicting. When in doubt, however, I always try to err on the side of kindness, mercy, and compassion. I also try to get proximate, and I am learning so much from our transgender community. They are great kids who face enormous struggles. Here are the numbers that have most impacted my decision: 75,000, 4, 1, 86 and 56.

75,000 high school kids participating in high school sports in Utah.

4 transgender kids playing high school sports in Utah.

1 transgender student playing girls sports.

86% of trans youth reporting suicidality.

56% of trans youth having attempted suicide.

Four kids and only one of them playing girls sports. That’s what all of this is about. Four kids who aren’t dominating or winning trophies or taking scholarships. Four kids who are just trying to find some friends and feel like they are a part of something. Four kids trying to get through each day. Rarely has so much fear and anger been directed at so few. I don’t understand what they are going through or why they feel the way they do. But I want them to live.

of course, it didn't amount to much. they overrode his veto. it's just so cartoonishly evil. an entire state's political body so desperate to terrorize this one little trans girl.

the torments of prison are predicated on Not Letting You Leave. the most terrifying and degrading aspects of childhood are predicated on Not Letting You Leave. misogynists wail and moan and fearmonger about divorce and equal opportunity employment because they Allow Wife To Leave. borders and immigration restrictions exist, in no small part, to Prevent People From Leaving countries where they will be exploited and/or oppressed. fuck you for trying to leave. fuck you for exerting any control over your life whatsoever. that makes you the one at fault, actually.

Omfg they made a whole language for this

Field studies have been conducted in several countries now, and the result is always the same - people will just flop about for a couple of months to recover from the burnout most people who have a job live with, and then they look for something to do. Some get a job with reduced hours, and some start doing charitable stuff like volunteering in soup kitchens and teaching others to do whatever their particular skill is. They socialize more, they are happier, and on average, people will work more, not less.

But the thing is, employers suddenly have to think about how to make their jobs appealing enough for someone to come and do them! It's hard to find someone to work for you for long hours under horrible conditions, if they can just choose not to; which shows you how voluntary our current system actually is.
