That doesn't make any sense.

Paying workers more is fine, but you're saying that the costs for reproduction should come from parents, and then you're saying they should come from the rich. People without children should contribute to childcare costs, and they are incentivized to do so, too, because children are important to pretty much everything. By having the government fund childcare, the rich do contribute more.

Whatever you said is inconsistent.

NSFW. This links to the meme page with a citation to the original comic, but this page contains a description. The meme page is SFW, but the citation is NOT.

Don't look at it, it's exactly what you think it is, but y'all wanna not listen, then go ahead.

I see where you are coming from. I also think you are wrong.

While there are sexual connotations behind naked ridership, there is also several other connotations involved that are meant through the scene. I see the scene as meant to demean and dehumanize the human being ridden, a literal replacement for an animal. Nakedness is often used in media to show vulnerability and, especially in this context, power differentials, and since the rider is clothed, viewing this as sexual doesn't feel like a correct interpretation. Using a child as the rider might make sense in some contexts (say, as a metaphor for innocence when enjoying an activity through the suffering of the exploited), but I do kind of agree that the current scene doesn't meaningfully change with aging the character up.

But if they strike, the poor workers won't get paid!!! \s

Clearly, you don't have the maternal instincts either.

I mean... I doubt the veracity of these claims.

Like, you could pay with cash and get the same level of benefit. While the serial numbers are tracked, movement of money is pretty random once it hits a customer's hands, and that level of randomness might as well make anonymous.

Additionally, good luck getting crypto through anything that isn't centralized, which removes the supposed benefit of the technology. If you want to get crypto anonymously, you'll have to buy it from people instead of exchanges.

Plus, crypto comes with the inherent downside of premiums to exchange currency. You might as well just tax yourself 5% extra, but that's probably generous considering how awfully volatile crypto can be.

And the fact that this uses fucking VISA should be a huge red flag for privacy, lmao. Congrats on not amalgamating your customer profile by purchasing our VISA^TM^ brand prepaid credit cards. They still made money off you.

Overall, you'd be better off asking someone a city over to buy what you want off the internet and paying them cash.

Crypto is, at best, a stupid hobby that got out of control, and, at worst, a huge scam people are desperate to find a legitimate use for and still can't.

Ain't no fucking way you're not a troll.

Why do we need to replace all the moderate Democrats that did EXACTLY what you said you wanted them to do?

Because they didn't do what I wanted them to do. Obviously. Did you not read?

Do you have any actual PROOF that Schumer engineered the capitulation? Your personal opinions on the matter aren't really what's under discussion here. Just vague and unsubstantiated accusations, pretty Trumpian if you ask me.

Like, either he sucks at his job and needs to go or he coordinated this and needs to go.

Idk, man, it's literally right there.

You should try harder?

Ain't no fucking way Chuck Schumer isn't responsible for this. That motherfucker has been doing shit like this for a while. But, let's be fair and say, for some fucking reason, that Schumer had nothing to do with this. Then he has absolutely no control over his party, and he should go.

Like, either he sucks at his job and needs to go or he coordinated this and needs to go. And I no longer think he is bad at his job. Out of touch? Yes. A fucking dipshit? Yes. But bad at his job? No. I am not stupid enough to believe that for one second.

Which means we need to replace every Dem senator with progressives. Every senator should be followed everywhere by homeless people in their state. They should be seated next to starving families in restaurants. They should be forced to share medical treatments with the people whose healthcare they just sacrificed.

Honestly, I had a similar feeling to that, too. That people were becoming too left for them.

And now I will spend hours of my time making sure every single Democrat in every single election is as far left as I can make them. I am going to show up and fucking berate the shit out of every centrist Dem I see. I want them to dread seeing my fucking face. I am absolutely pissed.

But theft is out of control right now! When I go shopping, I see so many instances that I have to find the manager and show them the video evidence I collected, showing all of their CEOs profiteering off the pandemic and tariffs.
