Should I take it as a sign to seek a diagnosis if I already knew about this article?

Eat a bagel or something jesus christ. Nobody is forcing you to buy eggs.

Boohoo the omnis have to consider switching to a different breakfast for a few months, this is just like mass starvation. They don't sell 5000 other things at the grocery store, eggs are the only staple food and now we have to spend 90% of our daily income on them.

Your preferred breakfast being a bit more expensive while other things that were already cheaper are still cheaper is not comparable to a french peasant being unable to pay for their only staple food. Get a grip.

lol a general strike. pure fantasy. You're gonna need about 5000% more class consciousness in the US before you can even think about it.

Damn, it sucks that you have to eat eggs. It sure would be nice if there were other things you could eat, alas you have to keep buying eggs and bitching about it the whole time instead of just eating something else.

"but it feels like old reddit". My god, imagine actively preferring the new reddit UI. Let them keep their shiny jangling keys instead of coming over here and pestering the devs for a snoovatar feature or whatever nonsense.

The 'maybe read for 2 minutes to figure it out' miniscule barrier to entry is a feature not a bug.

Did you never hear about falcon 9 or something? SpaceX's design process is tried and true. They used it to design the most successful rocket platform ever made. Not only is first stage reuse a massive breakthrough in it's own right but they pulled it off with arguably the most reliable rocket in history,

I forget where I heard this take but it was describing trump's first election. The broader electorate knew it would be chaotic, that was almost the point. Everyone can tell that the status quo is bad, that things are getting worse for most people. When the options are 'more of the same that isn't working' and 'throw a grenade at it and see what happens' people chose the grenade. Low information voters don't care about Gaza, millions of voters couldn't even tell you what region it's in.

All they knew is that inflation was making everything unaffordable and their pay certainly didn't keep up. Did they correctly assign blame for the economic conditions? Of course not. But when your main basis for voting is just the general vibe and the vibe is bad then you either vote for the other guy or stay home. So yes, people do prefer crisis to stability when stability just means things continue to get worse at a steady pace.

I'm fascinated by this apparently critical sliver of venn diagram between "I value audio latency/marginal improvement in quality highly enough to be inconvenienced by messing with a headphone cable while on the go" vs "a dongle is too inconvenient".

*Apparently this is a really hot take. My point being the convenience gap between cable vs no cable is so much larger than the gap between dongle vs no dongle that I don't understand how it's a dealbreaker.

The more he focuses on this instead of ruining the lives of migrants, refugees, and queer people, the better. This is absurd enough to be funny instead of just stoking hate crimes.

Sure the economic consequences are really bad but just starting a trade war for the sake of being a messy bitch and no other apparent reason is kinda funny.

Why was it more important for Kamala to continue the genocide than to win over those non-voters?
