OK how about this actually… All the money came from deleting the existing billionaires from reality.

Alternate premise would be “What if everyone in the world would give you anything or do any service for you for free, feel good about it, and be enriched by it in whatever way needed for it not to be exploitative”

You’re ruining the game!!

The premise is like… magic or something, dude. The premise is not that you are a philosophical zombie and gain billions of dollars through actual capitalism only to one day suddenly gain sentience.

Completely squandering the endless possibilities of being the first billionaire with a soul

I’d probably put an entire university worth of professors on payroll, along with an army of neurodivergence specialists to make it so I could actually make use of them. If I had functionally infinite money I could become so fucking gigabrain. The saving the world stuff should go without saying since we are all ensouled beings unlike the ghoulish husks who actually have billions of dollars.

Good for you man super virtuous and all but that’s not the premise

Handy at times but worse value overall compared to a regular UPS

No, it’s completely right. At the time of writing, it did literally mean all able men of fighting age. This was determined by the supreme court in 2008. That’s not to say there weren’t specific militia organizations, but it’s not what the amendment is specifically referring to.

It’s worth noting that at the time of writing, the words “well-regulated militia” referred to all fighting age men of sound mind. It wasn’t a thing to join or train for.

Why would I? I already told you I know you have your mind made up and won’t interpret what I say in good faith. You didn’t read my last explanation so why would I explain any further?

You think I’m a sexist, I think you’re an idiot and/or a troll. There’s really no point continuing this “conversation” unless it’s just to aimlessly vent misplaced anger in which case fuck you too buddy!

Are you trolling?

Alright, I’ll bite too despite knowing you’ve already made your mind up and will interpret this in bad faith.

Lyft obviously does not give a single fuck about safety, they are a corporation in the United States. It just doesn’t compute. This is very clearly a move for optics and perhaps marketing, which OP has so kindly done for them. If they gave a shit they would have a proper vetting process for their drivers instead of this. Calling this move half-assed is a too generous. This doesn’t protect women from serious threats from any motivated bad actor. Sex pests will say they are a trans woman, which Lyft will never verify due to negligence and optics. Traffickers will employ women to drive for them, which is already a somewhat common practice in general.

The joke is about how capitalism creates problems in society and the pretends to solve them in ways that seem productive on the surface. In actuality, these solutions are only to enrich the system while pacifying the people it exploits, all while sowing the division capitalism thrives on. The joke is hyperbole taking this notion to the extreme.

Allow me to restate that it’s a JOKE, the purpose is to be funny, and it’s not that serious. It was funny to me, clearly it was funny to some others based on the votes. As with all jokes, not everyone needs to get it.

It’s a joke, man. Just say you don’t get it and move on. It’s not that serious.

Yawn. Anyone who has taken LSD could have told you reality is composed of fractals all the way down, many decades ago.

Punching down? The fuck? Nah, you’re the sexist one here. I view women as my equals. I can’t believe I really have to spell this out but the joke is about capitalism.

Honestly thought it would be obvious to everyone that this was a joke given how preposterous it was. Yes I do see why women would want this.

The joke is really just meant to be funny. But if we wanna dissect it we can. Though I feel like it should be sufficient to say the joke is about capitalism.

Thought it was obvious that this was a joke… I was chuckling as I typed this…

We should cut the nation in half down the middle, male side and female side. We’ll have gender embassies to coordinate economic matters. Every 10 years we’ll all send our most fit and fertile to meet in the gender demilitarized zone for breeding. Better yet, maybe we can establish a reproductive material trade so we never have to see each other.

Don’t forget that everyone eventually meets a day they can’t survive

I have yet to be emotionally moved by a single piece of AI generated content, and not for lack of exposure. I am moved by human art on a daily basis.
