That turned out to be a rumour. There’s no proof Pope Joan ever actually existed.

Honestly, that does sound like something that could be an interesting read. Since it’s so unoriginal, can someone recommend me some books that take this exact premise and run with it?

Out of curiosity (yes, I know the joke usually being that I will wank it to this, being on the internet and all, but I am sincere) does any online proof of this exist?

I’m honestly baffled by anyone tattooing something like that one their body permanently, and in my naive hopeful worldview I’m still holding out hope this is a fake.

And with the current close ties between the Argentinian government and Musk (as well as the rest of the broligarchy) it’s only a matter of time before we’ll see this become a reality.

I hate how RFK Jr actually made seed oils something people consider unhealthy. There is an enormous body of research that clearly demonstrates the positive health impacts of switching out animal-based cooking oils with seed based ones, and for anyone to consider the contrary would require them to willfully ignore the science.

These tax structures exist in the US and other places as well. Besides, the meme referred to income tax so the fact that other taxes exist isn’t immediately relevant here.

And anecdotally, the overall cost of living was less for me in Sweden than it is here in Canada. Taxes don’t tell the entire story.

Unless you’re in some crazy tax bracket, I’m fairly sure most Swedes don’t pay 55% income tax.

I checked Skatteverket’s calculator and if I state that I make 1M SEK per year (104k USD) the taxation rate is 33.8%. Heck, even at 10M SEK it’s so only 50%ish.

Fine. They’ll have AI measure productivity and ask it to defend your position instead.

And management will subsequently ask you why your position shouldn’t be terminated, as you’re clearly not contributing anything.

This comment officer. This is the one that hurt me.

Oh, shame to read that. It sounded like it had real potential.

Microsoft experimented with oceanic data centers too, and I don’t believe they actually abandoned that project either. It’s just Musk and his ilk are very loud and outsized loudness has a tendency to dominate public discourse.

Unlike Slate, Ford has access to their vast trove of sales information over the past 8 decades from their truck division. I am pretty sure they figured out that a truck at a 30k price point needs to be a crew cab or larger to sell in the volume they need to make it work for them financially.

Unlike Slate, Ford is a business that needs to be profitable in what they do. They can’t start-up style burn through a bunch of investor money to see if a market exists for bare-bones single cab trucks.

As a result I think both may well have a place in the market, and I am excited to see affordability overall coming back into the picture.

“What happened?” are you for real?

Did you not read any newspaper, watch any news, or generally exist in society since 2016?

First you decided to bazooka yourselves in the foot with the Brexit vote, then went through a revolving clown show of increasingly bizarre political sideshow pieces that pretended to be PM, before finally opting to negotiate an EU exist that was about as disastrous as it could’ve been for your economy.

Add in the fact that the entire world has been turning to shit around you due to despotic leaders trying to rape their neighbours/the climate/populace/actual kids/everything joined by a cabal of evil billionaires who are gleefully destroying democracy and the world economy so they can go out in one final last hurrah of capitalism, and you have the audacity to ask “What happened?”?.

I seriously can’t with these “I don’t do politics” idiots anymore.

Yeah, now that it’s written out like that I’m surprised I missed that.

Right. That makes sense and I’m surprised I didn’t pick up on that one.

I’m struggling to get that context from the image. Where does it say or imply she was raped?

I’m not getting the joke probably, but it’s clearly not in the source image.

The true road to enlightenment starts when you realize that SUVs just aren’t fit to haul your kids and your groceries, and that the only logical path forward is to buy a massive lifted truck that puts a Sherman tank to shame to drive your statistical 37 miles per day in some modicum of safety.

Found the Futurama fan.
