  • There are now at least a dozen calendar reformists edging on posting a rant about this lol.

    Worth noting though that this has mostly stuck around because any attempt to switch to a more divisible week structure is met with resistance from Christians and Jews since going off 7s messes with their calendars.

    Of course you could use just two liminal days inserted outside of the standard month or week and basically have a calendar where holidays stop jumping dates.

    R fully becomes a semi vowel same as U to W or I to Y, several grammar words get Shavian style abbreviations for brevity, and where french has accents, spanish has the ñ, and german has umlauts, the expanded english vowels have single dots the way lower case i already does.


  • It’d probably involve a healthy bit of statistical analysis, basically measuring price increases against measured inflation rates and prosecuting anyone statistically outside the standard without a justifying factor like a different formulation for the product or significantly better quality to justify being more expensive.

    As for what the punishment would be, I’d say either fining them twice the value of the excess profit, or forcing them to cut prices on all products to twice the margin they went over by until they’ve lost twice the value they effectively stole.



  • It’s one of those things that mostly works because there aren’t many rich people.

    Since crimes committed by rich folks are mostly white collar, they’re rarely a danger to society if let back onto the streets.

    It’s one of those statistical solutions that doesn’t really do enough thinking about why the statistics shake out that way.

    That said, there is a gradient, rich folks can make bail for petty offenses but for violent ones judges may be inclined to just deny bail purely because the rich prick would be able to post it easily and the crime they’re accused of warrants not letting them back out.

    What’d be more productive would be enforcing a reformed model.

    • Algorithm promoted content is considered published.
    • You can’t promote content from unverified accounts.
    • Unverified users can still post to friends and family.
    • Maximum of 250 followers unless you verify.
    • Friends and family can be grouped up so you can precisely control who sees what.
    • You can only repost an original post, so if your friend wrote it or made it, you’re good, but if they shared it from someone else, then you’re gonna have to rewrite it or rememe it to post it yourself.

  • I actually don’t think a fully artificial human like mind will ever be built outside of novelty purely because we ventured down the path of binary computing.

    Great for mass calculation but horrible for the kinds of complex pattern recognitions that the human mind excels at.

    The singularity point isn’t going to be the matrix or skynet or AM, it’s going to be the first quantum device successfully implanted and integrated into a human mind as a high speed calculation sidegrade “Third Hemisphere.”

    Someone capable of seamlessly balancing between human pattern recognition abilities and emotional intelligence while also capable of performing near instant multiplication of matrices of 100 entries of length in 15 dimensions.




  • Man literally is a suspected child rapist, yet the supposed anti-groomers would personally offer him their infant children to rape before they ever even dreamed of applying any standards to him.

    It’s the logical conclusion of their association based morality. Don could actually murder someone on 5th avenue and the right would never give an inch on it because he’s their bastard and they’ll take their bastards over an outsider’s angels every day of the week.

    They don’t believe it’s evil for satanists to run a soup kitchen because they suspect an ulterior motive, they believe it’s evil because the satanists are evil so everything they do is evil because nothing an evil person does is ever a good thing. Same time, one of their own could be caught hacking school children to death with a machete and they’ll go to the extent of bashing their head into a wall until they forget their own now murdered children because he’s one of their own and “we don’t need outsiders to tell us how to handle our issues.”
