McKinsey is to the middle class what flesh-eating bacteria is to healthy tissue.

Holy shit, this writer pulls no punches.

After watching this very playthrough of MyHouse a few months ago, I still remember a few scenes. So very unsettling. buddy’s narration style is really compelling too.

I wonder how many times someone has tried to turn House Of Leaves into a movie or a series. It would be pretty wild no matter how they tried it.

but it’s not their money until they coerce people into giving it to them

my company respects my free time

Well that doesn’t sound like a recipe for anyone becoming a billionaire from your labour

Yes, we are defeating non-human life without trying. if we were trying I imagine we could make quite a dent.

but if the animal kingdom was trying, I think that would be pretty terrifying.

a) what you say is true b) these car-related issues affect other countries just as much : I’m Canadian. c) there are other things that WFH improves as well, but they are far enough behind the car-related problems that they can seem petty by comparison. They aren’t petty at all, but they do make a convenient foil for those who argue against WFH.

this still smells of propaganda, like it’s woven through the whole thing. “The American worker is making peace with a longer ride”.
and yet the very first example they provide is someone who works from home twice a week.

I’ll tell you this: the commute is even better when you work from home. WFH means less carbon emissions, less time wasted in traffic, and less time literally putting your life at risk from vehicle collisions.

and yet their necks are all roughly the same size as everyone else’s.

How very curious.

That’s an eternity for an android

it’s been 8 hours and there’s no reference to the Monty Python “argument sketch”. That’s refreshing.

it doesn’t even fully contradict all interpretations; it just fully contradicts the loudest most obnoxious proponents of a particular interpretation. but those arseholes can go pound sand, for they are deeply wrong.

using that logic, if you plant evidence of a crime in someone’s home they are immediately guilty and then you can shoot them

you get one choice that has shown he can be pressured with reason and public opinion and one that wants to commit domestic crimes with impunity, that openly wants to have his political enemies killed, and that has shown he can be pressured by Russia. You know, the country that swore to defeat the US from within.

but yeah, both sides.

something about crosshairs?

(beg pardon to the international audience, just trying to speak in terms that Americans will understand)

and he’ll get it too if it wasn’t for you meddling kids

after reading about people who don’t understand law I can only say YOU MAKE ME FEEL LIKE less of a dumbass. (not you, mkwt, all you did was put Aretha in my head which is never a bad thing, also FREEEEeeeeeWAY OF LOVE)

SLIDE!

I CAN’T FEEL MY FACE WHEN I’M WITH YOUUUuuuuuu

kinda like Dr Reed saying “frick”
