  • But giving away grain to peasants is why the entire empire fell to ruin! Letting people starve is the most humane way of reducing hunger in the long run, it just takes strong leadership to do what most be done. Really, it’ll be faster, easier, and cheaper (which is by definition better for everyone) if we help accelerate things. Which will be the next bit of societal tough love that Crowder will be taking the high road on.










  • This product is called ‘paper bottle’ to make it easier to explain the role of paper labels wrapping outside of the bottle," a spokesperson for Innisfree said.

    1. my boss told me to!
    2. I told them to do it safely! (The thing that can’t be done safely)
    3. I told them to solve the problem! (The problem caused by corporate policy)

    6. … profit




  • My favorite part of playing tennis is the commute back to the court after every time my opponent scores. I really get to savor and look forward to the next time I’ll get to swing my racket. It also makes victory that much more meaningful knowing that not only am I an expert at swinging the racket, reading my opponents moves, and responding, I’ve also memorized every crack, crevice, and nuance of conversation along the route to the court. That meaningless repetition of unrelated action is what makes games fun!
