I’m Aurelia and this is what it’s like to be Americas Next Top Model. 30. She/Her 🏳️‍⚧️ I play games and listen to music a lot.

I love thrifting bc it’s cheap and I’m poor & also bc when I get a compliment on something I’m wearing that I found thrifting, I get to let them know I found it thrifting. They they get to know I’ve got an impeccable eye for standouts in an overwhelming sea of bullshit clothes.

If these guys were actually students of history they’d know Europe tried this type of shit all of the time and it always lasted like six months. A good rule of thumb if you think of some outlandish solution to democracy that benefits the rich the inbred French aristocrats probably tried it already.

Very cool that Shopify’s CEO thinks the poor should have far less of a vote than the rich. Still worth that ad read money, folks?

Shopify CEO Tobi Lutke says “good system.” In response to the following proposal: 

“Interesting... what about weighted voting proportional to the level of income tax you pay? (no income tax paid - O vote, $1-100k - 1 vote, $100-200k 2 votes and so on... cap it at 5 votes for $500k+. For those that constantly complain about the wealthy not paying tax/fair share they'd have nothing to worry about right? Why not reward representation of taxation and build a democracy around those that foot the bill?”

I have no desire to ever be good enough to play a kaizo Mario game, but the runs during gdq are always so much fun to watch. This super dram world 3 might be one of the most creative ones I have seen.
