Literati

I can visualize this so clearly and it feels like a fever dream

Same when I got on ocd meds. Love being able to go and do a thing without compulsively making lists of every other tasks that I could be doing.

Economics is just psychology masquerading as a hard science

Rents are skyrocketing because demand is high and we literally do not have enough housing for the number of people we have in the places they live.

Suddenly dumping more money into the economy would just increase the price bar on that demand, and prices would go up more.

Prices can increase for a lot of reasons, and going up from one doesn't stop them from going up from another.

I remember I'd just happened to buy a resin 3d printer, and so had bought a few masks to use for that. I got into printing and painting Warhammer because of the pandemic. Still have a a small army that's entirely printed and about 3/4 painted from that time.

Similarly, from an engineer's perspective, scientists are a great addition to the working group when you need to find the flaws in the system, but awful when you actually just need something to go into the real world and work 80% of the time ;)

Especially when you're time constrained.

Next up, they're going to go scream at the girl scouts on the corner that they're being exploited

The 14th is a reconstruction amendment btw, it wasn't drafted or ratified by the founders.

And why it makes great rocket fuel...

...if you ignore all the other side effects

I feel like it'd make gift giving more difficult, but more meaningful- you would have to give people actually customized things, something you made or something you think they need that they haven't noticed. Harder, but shows more thought than giving generic-consumer-item#528

I know this is a meme, just made me think

A friend would use "theydies and gentlethems"for dramatic effect
