excellent argument for punching nazis. plenty of them are the sheltered little fuckers who don't believe that real pain and trauma exist
Former Kanye West aide Milo Yiannopoulos on his ICE arrest:
"I don't think I've ever been afraid before... It was humiliating, it was physically degrading, it was frightening... I wouldn't wish it on anyone"

to the extent that mathematical literacy is necessary for a strong left (which is a lot if we want to preserve the benefits of technology and a big population), i despair, and this thread is evidence why
Here's a spicier take.
If you're on the left, an idea that it's gonna be really important to understand going forward is that, if you create a tighter labor market and higher wages for low-skill workers, it will cause prices of low-skill labor-intensive goods and services to rise (and that's ok)

Just to expand on this:
The dynamic was basically:
Voters: Fast food hamburgers went from $3 to $9. I don't like this.
Biden/Harris: Look, I'm sorry about your burger or whatever, but there are real people out there with real problems.
Trump: I will fix this on day 1. It will be so easy.

I remember a senior engineer at Twitter once commenting on how sf was lacking in strangers who would do you a random kindness. Glad to see it hasn't changed 🥰
A UC Berkeley professor who was attacked during Pride Weekend in Dolores Park said he wished a bystander had offered to call the police or help him get medical support after the incident.

Would love to blame solely situation bad republican governance, but unfortunately it is human nature to discount rare events and underprepare for disasters
In 2018, Kerr County debated installing flood sirens, but the $1 million pricetag was considered too high. “Trying not to raise taxes,” a commissioner said.
And this year, the Texas Legislature didn’t pass a bill to help fund outdoor sirens.

The chenoweth stat makes no sense. So if 3.5% is militantly for something and 94% very against, how does the 3.5% win? Does the side supporting 1/6 not count as a 3.5% movement?
