  • Is keeping the shirt from flipping inside out a requirement for some reason?
    I imagine it would be more like lift the bottom front of the shirt over the top of your head and tuck behind neck so that full chest is exposed, fold arms in to insert hand through arm hole on same side as that arm and then push arms forward to leave shirt hanging off wings, reach behind while leaning back to grab and pull shirt off wings downward in direction of feathers.
    Either that or how my wife takes off her bras that don’t have clasps, push shoulder straps over and down arms, lift arms out so only chest band is holding on, then push the whole thing down chest and over hips and step out of it. That way it doesn’t have to go up and over the breasts.
















  • Jacobs said the goal of the Miami board, and all civilian review boards, is to build trust. He added while the civilian panel itself couldn’t solve all police-community relationship issues, the trust it created would.

    “It was never about sticking it to the police officers,” Jacobs said. “I have two kids. I want to raise them in a city where we don’t need police accountability or police oversight because they do the right thing all the time.”

    Well there’s your problem, wanting accountability for people with authority. Those people got into positions of authority so there wouldn’t be any accountability, how dare you try to hold them responsible for their actions



  • IIUC the calculation of GDP doesn’t factor in whether the produced goods serve a human need - the system can in theory continue to optimize for ever-increasing GDP while every human on earth starves to death.

    There’s an old joke I remember about economists and the GDP.

    Two economists are walking through the jungle and come across a gigantic pile of lion scat. One turns to the other and said I’ll pay you 100$ to eat a bite of that shit.
    Being an economists and 100$ being worth a lot, the guy eats the shit and gets paid.
    A little while later they come across a pile of rhino dung. The now richer economist turns to the first and offers 100$ for him to take a bite out of this pile. 100$ is again a lot of money so he does it and eats the shit.
    As they’re walking along, both picking their teeth, one turns to the other and asks “did we both just eat shit for nothing?” And the other days “of course not, now the GDP of the jungle has increased by 200$!”
