It’s a kind of slang or dialect speech from a stereotype of people in rural areas(hillbilly, redneck, or just country), also as gold prospectors(1840’s) are commonly portrayed in films.

“Them there hills”, which means, “those hills over there”.

Them/their are pronouns for non-binary people replacing the gendered he/his or she/hers.

It is a pun and an excellent one at that.

Yeah, and that’s certainly an effective strategy from the very moment an inequality exists at all.

I agree that wealth is not equivalent to power but I continue to assert that it is the fundamental concept of capitalism. It’s rule by those who can exploit a market most effectively amassing the greatest amount of capital (by money/property value).

I find wealth in having hobbies and relationships that don’t return monetarily on my energy investment. This is incompatible with capitalism. While living under capitalism, i could have the highest quantity of relationships of the highest quality with other humans and it would still be worthless compared to someone with more capacity than me for taking on debt.

I wonder if I’m being misinterpreted here so if it’s unclear at this point; i see capitalism as a direct assault on our very humanity and a psychological disease that tears from us our empathy and feeling for one another through the pursuit of “wealth”. I despise it.

I do not understand what this adds to the concept of capitalism other than introducing the term “social darwinism”.

There is no difference between “the aesthetics” of capitalism and its actualization, and neither base a capitalist’s actions in regard to benefitting society beyond “the market”. Capitalism is simply the current method of accruing power for someone to push their personal ideology on others. It just happens that the most effective method to exploit capitalism is to reject any sense of empathy or consideration for anything external or internal, especially flesh and blood humans because they are the only real threat to your power.

Mmm… Well i think there are enough of them that think long term to maintain their institutions. The oil industry has been suppressing concerns about climate change and disaster for well over a century now

It’s capitalism, power is wealth by definition. These are compatible concepts.

By perceived value i mean speculation.

Wondering now if paradoxically accelerating global warming increases stock ROI in renewables as the perceived value of renewable energy increases with the perceived/predicted level of global warming.

Couldn’t agree more. To serve and protect would have been to take the scalding, not their life. If you’re an officer the standard of conduct and consequence must be higher than for the citizen.

Fuck that sucks. Relatable though.

I replaced meats with soy proteins and beans. It was fairly 1:1. Not a vegan diet but pretty easy depending on what’s available in your area.

I should learn how to make that cashew cheese…

Haha, i know someone in NY who talks about doing this as a casual part of daily life.

Well his definition of having sex is when someone else finishes you. He doesn’t believe it’s sex if you finish yourself off. Nothing prior counts. So take that as you will.

There’s too much to explain how fucking awful bill Clinton is and how hard he fucked us from NAFTA to the crime bill and so much in between. So laugh your ass off to this and see you in a few hours.

Also the Democratic supermajority killing Bernie when he was winning the vast majority of popular votes of the Democratic primary made it clear to many that the Democratic party isn’t ever going to work in their interest or budge a fraction left of enabling conservatives. There’s just zero evidence that he wasn’t going to win, but there was plenty that Hillary was much less popular.

LMAO they’re calling people fascists for acting like a fascist 🤷 not sure how that makes it meaningless.

Yeah i generally assume decisions like these are profit/hate driven. If you can make a market case, even mildly convincing that profits will be hit, it’s going to be researched enough to get copyright and bury as long as possible.

Just can’t imagine being one of those researchers(if they knew/weren’t duped), board members or marketing fucks going home to someone who thinks they’re loved, watching them writhe in pain, and think, “yeah I’m gonna be so rich!”

IDK if i have a partner i want them to be comfortable. Idk whether there’s just a lot of incels in powerful places or men have historically just hated the women they’re with. Either way that’s one reason I don’t identify as a man.

My only wild and reaching guess, beyond simple cruelty and hatred, is marketing was afraid of associating the drug with periods because “men would get grossed out” and potentially impact that share of the market.

I mean if it would that’s just that much more infuriating…

But I’m not that knowledgeable on the difference between the impact of a cyst and the mechanism that gives cramps. My ex had endo. Miserable experience. I wish your friends the best in managing it.

Who TF else an i gonna give a soul to? God and Satan aren’t really putting in the work.
