    I mean it’s an objectively worse writing system. All caps printing is the most legible, and as writing is a form of communication, clarity is paramount.

    I’m also very surprised no one has started calling it racist yet because of it’s origins and which demographics historically used it. “Linguistic prescriptivism” is racist now, but handwriting is still A okay.

    That more times than any working watch. Consider:

    If a watch is working but its time deviates from the actual correct time by one second, that watch will never, ever show the correct time. It will always be off by that one second.

    A broken watch, on the other hand, is guaranteed to show the exact correct time twice every day.

    Therefore broken watches are more useful than working watches.

    backed up by the threat of violence against anyone who doesn’t play along.

    Every political ideology includes that. What good are rules without enforcement? Just because the enforcers are supposed to be random individuals in some ideologies doesn’t mean the threat of violence for not playing along is gone.





  • simply because driving a car for 10 km to a farm for a bag of apples (or whatever) is a LOT worse per apple than the traditional container-on-ship->container-on-rail->semi-truck->local store supply chain which has a few times the fuel consumption of a car

    Uh. Do you think those semi trucks are bringing apples right into people’s homes? Guess how far the grocery store is from people’s houses lmao

    That argument only works if every citizen in the country lives in high density, transit enabled city cores.
