Are we still… draining the swamp??

The disappearance of DVD sales made creativity a lot more risky. So studio execs just churn out the same properties that are proven.

I never said we should have zero debt, that’s a strawman. Most economist recommend a moderate amount of debt due to various positive effects (some of which you mention). So the real disagreement comes here:

It’s all connected and that’s why running a deficit, a (relatively) small one, is a good thing.

The implication being that you think the U.S. has a (relatively) small amount of debt. Now, I am willing to be convinced otherwise, but I do not think that the U.S. currently has a small amount of debt. Our debt to GDP ratio is higher than other developed nations, which is concerning.

I do concede that we aren’t in danger of a debt crisis on the scale of Greece or Sri Lanka. But ~$34 Trillion in debt needs to be part of the discussion when we keep praising the economy.

SatansMagotyCumFart, are you being intentionally or unintentionally dense?

My experience has been the opposite. Lemmings take everything too seriously.

Damn, TIL “Typoglycaemia”.

That is either a miniature keyboard or a massive bug

Yeah, my dad would disown me again if I sent him this

Seriously, why did OP post this two weeks ahead of time

Lotta BIG QWERTY’s on Lemmy

edit: I thought you were using ‘QWERTY’ as a pejorative term for ‘know-it-all’. Turns out you actually mean the keyboard.

The average voter pays zero attention to politics but has very strong opinions about what a politician has or hasn’t done.

I really hate text articles that end up being a podcast. Feels like a bait and switch.

Took forever to find out, but, “Daisy” on backroomcasting.

The argument makes less sense outside of it’s context. Moore was responding to the skeptical position that we’re all in a simulation. Moore argues that this skeptical argument undermines itself: all of the language, terms and concepts which form the simulation argument are based on the sensory experience that the argument would effectively dismiss. Furthermore, any argument that we’re in a simulation is epistemologically on a par with the argument that we’re not. Therefore we should have less confidence in the skeptical argument than the common sense conclusion that we have hands.

Specifically, “casting couch”.

Yet if you watch anime, the American character is typically blonde haired and blue eyed
