  • Did you even realize that the link viking used was for single PARENTS, not mothers?

    Most single PARENTS are poor.

    FFS the projection in this comment is strong. Just re-read your last 3 paragraphs, and switch 'viking' with 'dragon'. Maybe one day you will be able to look past your sexisim and read content for what it is.

  • I'm sorry, but it IS hard to understand. No one in this chain said she was poor BECAUSE she is a woman. Just that she is poor, just like a single father would be...

    ...and the argument has been "well they could budget" vs "you can't budget yourself out of this shit, it's reality for these people". And by "these people" they don't mean "women", but "people who have to take care of multiple children with one income"

    Honestly, this whole thread is YOU ranting about genders, everyone else is talking socio-economic status. THAT'S why is hard to understand.

  • So WHAT is it, then?

    If someone said "single FATHER of 4", then would this conversation not be sexist?

    Because I honestly don't get it.

    UBI works too
  • Then... it sounds like you are against UBI.

    Saying we should do X and Y before we do Z, is functionally the same as opposing Z itself. Shit, that is how most polices are rejected.

    "We can't send money overseas, we need to take care of our own first, or things will never get better"

    "We can't increase funding for our own services, we need to find out how to optimize their spending first, or things will never get better"

    "We can't impose extra regulations on services, we need to do that on the vendor/supplier level, or things will never get better"

    "We can't impose extra regulations on vendors/suppliers, because most of them are overseas, we need to spend resources overseas to stop it at the source, or things will never get better"

    On, and on, and on we go. Meanwhile, people starve. Don't let perfect be the enemy of good.

  • So excited. I knew the mechanics would be different, but this almost seems like a whole different game.

    Population of 20,000? Time is in weeks, not hours? People vote?

    definitely no means...
  • Yeah sorry, money is just so tight right now, we can't find it in the budget...

    By the way, this is Todd, your 3rd project manager. Should really help with increasing productivity and aligning with our new buisness strategy.

    Oh, and your coworker Amy just put in her two weeks, so we will have to backfill that position sometime when the budget clears up. You can take on her responsibilities temporarily though.

    Oh, and I'll be in Ibiza for the next 3 weeks, talking to key internal stakeholders and top execs of our customers.

  • Lol, his most memorable presentation is showing that the cybertruck is not as durable as he claimed.

    Actually, now thinking about it... has that shit even finished? Or close to? A lot of people already paid for it.

  • O shit, new SAW coming out? I thought they were done with that.

    Yeah, not a shill, or a paid poster. Just noticed there's not a huge amount of content here, and saw other really old memes being posted here, so went digging in my phone for some old goodies.

    If I was trying to promote things, let's see... I'm paid by: -beans -dogs of the underworld -SAW franchise
