I’d argue we’re already there. Once you hit zero it’s not like you zip out of existence. When everyone is poor and has no money, the rich get to hire you and pay you enough to buy their products and keep them comfortable. You’ll never make enough to get out of poverty because it’s designed to keep you there.
Poverty isn’t just about not having money, it’s about never making enough to get out of poverty. When you’re always living paycheck to paycheck, payday loan to payday loan - you’re screwed. The system will never let you out. You’re too profitable in that state to let out.
Think of the boot theory. If I only give you 10 bucks a year, you have to buy the 2 dollar boots every year that last only a year. The moment you made 11 dollars, you could buy the 5 dollar boot that lasts you a decade. The system incentivizes company’s to sell 2 dollar boots cause it makes them more money in the long run, and if the entire world agrees to never pay you more than 10 dollars a year, every company can make that much more money. That’s why your market value is not your fair pay.
The real reason poverty exists is because rich people need a slave class without being directly liable for owning them.
Ah yes, python is psuedocode
Something clicked in my mind when I read the phrase self-righteous suicide and SOAD just popped into my head
Climbing a mountain but dying too much along the way. Like a little too much.
Then, we’d have to shift the jokes to which editors can run in emacs.
It’s half a wolf in Europe and half a wolf in the Atlantic Ocean. Duh
Ah. My bad. I guess I was a bit needlessly aggressive with my comment too.
Ok? I never said it was cheap. Also, the whole “I want it for cheap” mentality is what got the world to where we are right now. I can afford to pay 10 dollars a month for a search engine because it saves me exponentially more in privacy and more importantly- time.
Absolutely. It’s really nice that the middle tier now has unlimited searches too!
Check out Kagi!
Try Celeste. There’s a great storyline but you can ignore it if you want. The gameplay speaks for itself
Ooh that’s so interesting!
I’ve heard that in cultures where writing evolved from stone carving, the writing direction preferred the right to left direction since the chisel could be held more comfortably. Similarly in cultures where writing evolved from leaf or cow hide type manuscripts left to right was the norm.
I wonder what the evolutionary path would be for a boustrophedonous system.
Ok help me out here. What on earth is boustrophedon supposed to be? It sounds like a biblical monster lol
Doing my job! 🫡
It can be if you consider words as your indivisible unit!
It’s a palindrome in the sense that the words in the ith position are the same as the words in the -ith position of the sentence.
Ooh I see it now. They need to work on it lol
