7 billion was the projected amount it would take to end world hunger.

Lie—that was nonsense that went viral, and immediately collapsed under scrutiny. That claim was tweeted at Musk, and when he replied saying ‘explain how that would work and I’ll give you the money right now’, he got a sheepish response to the tune of ‘well actually, it would only help, not end it, and only temporarily’.

A more recent, actual estimate, puts it closer to $93 billion. And not once, but annually.

Stop being so gullible and falling for this sensationalized nonsense just because it confirms your biases.

Why are men unable to put aside their emotions

Projection. I did nothing more than simply point out an obvious logical fallacy.

anyone someone points out that lots and lots of men do fucked up things

Lots and lots of women do fucked up things, too. If someone reacted to a story about a woman throwing her newborn baby into a dumpster with “geez, what is wrong with women?” you would get, justifiably, offended at the generalization.

There’s no need for a double standard, one standard will do just fine.

and are systematically supported?

Starr (2015) finds that male defendants in U.S. Federal Courts receive 63% longer sentences than females, even after conditioning on observable case characteristics

That doesn’t look like ‘systematic support’ to me.

You hear some men, and because you think emotionally, you hear “all men.”

More projection, especially considering you’ve dived headfirst into “all men” yourself just above.

Rapist in my state almost killed three teenage girls. He got court ordered therapy and community service.

Meanwhile, I couldn’t even get charges pressed against my female rapist.

Your empathy gap is showing.

I like how first you accuse me of emotionally extrapolating “some men” to “all men”, and then you literally do just that, using individual cases of men doing shitty things as argument against my saying not to generalize men.

You don’t even realize how blatantly you’re exposing yourself.

Marital rape wasn’t illegal in every US state until 1993.

Even though women rape men just as often as men rape women (it just doesn’t seem so because of successful lobbying to have unwanted female on male sexual contact labeled with a term other than “rape” so that it wouldn’t be included in “rape statistics”), it still is effectively legal for women to do so. See how long it takes you to find a woman who was convicted for raping a man.

A woman can molest a male child, get herself pregnant, wait until he’s of age, and then successfully sue him for back child support. Good luck finding a case of a man legally winning child support from the girl he molested.

I wonder what Nick Olivas would have to say about that “systematic support” that you claim favors males so heavily.

When you’re allowed everywhere by default

Men have been forced to change seats on an airplane for the ‘crime’ of being male while adjacent to children.

It doesn’t help matters to generalize like this.

it can bruise something in your brain when you hit a closed door.

Men’s brains ‘bruise against closed doors’ a lot more often than you assume.

all oranges are fruits, therefore I’m justified in assuming any fruit is an orange by default

How do people not understand how patently ludicrous this line of thinking is?

If the existence of white only spaces is enough to make you feel bad about being black, it seems what you’re actually feeling bad about is not having total access to everything and control over everyone. That’s a different issue, and is solved through therapy.

Behold, your logic.

There is no actual sentiment in the image, lol. On its face, it’s just stating two facts, not explicitly criticizing anything.

One could feasibly spread the exact same image as a positive thing, just depends on the audience.

$74,250 per employee

Hm, is this low for this line of work? Genuinely asking.

There will always be people who are the smartest and/or shrewdest and/or most ambitious and/or luckiest, in a population. “Just get rid of the people who currently have the most wealth” is extraordinarily naive.

The OP says “doesn’t work”, not ‘does work but not enough to satisfy an arbitrary threshold of “working for a living” so it doesn’t count’.

Nobody is saying owners do literally no labor

The OP literally says “doesn’t work”. Is “doesn’t work” not equivalent to “no labor”?

It’s just a running joke for greentexts to call them “fake and gay”, which became having to come up with some justification to attach both labels to the story instead of just saying it is. This is completely regardless of what the greentext actually consists of.

The more you have to stretch to make the labels fit, the funnier it is.

No one is actually worshiping him, it’s just a meme, relax.

Also this image is probably older than his being a billionaire, it has to do with Steam, not his net worth.

Brainstorming: maybe make it mandatory only when a review is about performance of the game, because that’s when it’s relevant. Maybe a checkbox as you’re writing a negative review that’s something like ‘what aspect(s) of the game don’t you like’, and if ‘performance’ is checked, a little addendum that says ‘your specs will be added to the review to give context’. In that case, people who want to look through reviews would also be able to filter by those same ‘types’ of reviews, or see what percentage of negative reviews are due to performance, or other things. Could be a good addition overall.

But generally, if someone wants to write a bad review because of shitty controls, or plot, or the game being too short for its price, etc., there’s no need to have specs attached to that kind of review.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think all the replies are misunderstanding you as saying ‘who has so much RAM’, when you’re actually referring to 30 being a bizarre total number of GB of RAM to have.

I can’t even think of a combo of (certainly-mismatched) sticks of RAM that’d get you to 30 even. 8-8-8-6?

few

Did you know there are well over 1,000 billionaires in the US? Have even 10 of them been implicated in the files, that you can name?

I’d say it’s more likely that a significant majority of them aren’t.

ok what do I look like a dictionary

When you write “[word], by definition, is [definition]”?

Yes, you do, lol.

Like people are saying “Oh, no, he didn’t rape the kid he just had sex with her.”

It’s much more likely simply a legal CYA maneuver on the part of the media outlet vis-à-vis libel allegations, to not use the name of the crime to describe an act that no one’s yet been convicted of.

Sex, by definition, is engaging in sexual pleasure with both persons consent.

Well, not to be pedantic, but that’s not accurate. Consent is not an intrinsic attribute of sex.

if the top 1% paid a fractionof the taxes they used to.

Could you give an example of a year in which the top 1% paid enough taxes to satisfy this condition?

Source?

Threatening to shoot and kill someone if they don’t give you what you want, even if the victim is not aware you’re not actually armed, definitely counts, don’t know what point you’re trying to make.

Also, I quoted that exact line in my own comment, why are you bringing that up in your reply as if it’s information I concealed/withheld or something?
