wondering about whether the popular perception of upward mobility being an impossible cruel joke may stem from the rise in individualism. historically its taken whole generations to move up & the family did it together; mb expecting this of individuals contributes to resentment?

I feel like the world's governments learned an exceptionally poor lesson from the global financial crisis of 2008:

"We must ensure that the cost of housing always rises faster than wages, or there will be global economic ruin"

I don't think they've thought ahead to what lies at the end of the road that they think is avoiding ruin.

i remember having an old dream where they made metal stuff by doing some shit like, there was a hard light projector but hard light was really weak so they just used it to prop up this kind of spray foam metal on top of the projected shape :comfyaww:

"vaccines are ineffective" is a psyop by the liberal media in order to get people to remain unvaccinated justifying eternal lockdowns as part of their great reset project 2030 gates

what's the deal with smile.amazon.co.uk, like it's a tiny amount of free money but only if you do the weird ritual of typing smile before the URL, what do they gain from doing it like this

oh yea speaking of schelling points they got two members of I think the GB olympic gymnastics team to play the schelling point game on TV. they weren't very good at it (one of the questions was "name a number" and one of them said 3, wtf, 3 isnt a schelling number, at least the other person said 1) but otoh they were just having fun rather than competetive schelling powergaming so sure
