When we say billionaires are evil, this is mostly what we mean. Inaction is just as bad as bad action, if you have the means.
There have been a handful people (ex-billionaires) who apparently got the message and decided that a few hundred million was more than enough for them and gave the rest away (and actually did it right away instead of in a “pledge” when they die so their children can curate the non-profits that will inherit their billions). Mckenzie Scott is one.
You better believe it. Will give her an extra kissie in you and your late girl’s honor.
Don’t know the exact temps but even at max setting it remains possible to touch without having to withdraw your hand, so somewhere in the high 40-ish °C.
I checked out of Wow a few expansions back, haven’t regretted it yet. I too was a day 1-player but the current game is so far removed from its roots it might as well be another game altogether.
Fuck you life! fucks off to /c/weedtime
Well, maybe not the emetophagia. Everything else checks out.
Gonna have a tough time competing with Steam Deck if they are up to their old proprietary tricks. Only way they could undercut that is by slashing the price, but considering what a PS5pro goes for, I doubt it.
Online petitions work exactly like paper petitions, but are even more easily ignored.
Ouch, you poor bastard. You have my sympathies. Hope your folks are okay also.
What if they don’t attempt to establish contact and you are stuck on the sidelines forever? Been with my company for 10 years but never did anything with any coworkers outside of working hours. Never been invited to anything either.
We love to commiserate. Shared pain = half pain in my mother tongue. Shared laughter = double laughter.
Not a dragqueen or trans… just the hard right enabling what they accuse others of doing. Every accusation is projection with those people.
I’ve been looking for a flash animation of some guy fucking a horse or cow while some kind of (Irish?) (folk?) song plays in the background. Probably only saw it once around ~2000 or so on either newground or stileproject, have been looking for it because I want to identify the song used but it’s probably gone off the web forever.
I’d say Malbolge is pretty safe. I’d like to see someone crack a system using that.
I suspect this happens far more than you think. They just have amazing security details.
Such as in wartime. And this is war, but most people are far too blind to see this.
have it worse in first world countries than they did in France during the 1700s
In absolute terms? Definitely not. The lowliest “unskilled” worker today has vastly more amenities than even a 17th century nobleman could even dream of.
In relative terms, however? The ultra-rich robbed you, me and every single other person on this planet. And to this you may retort that you do not care about wealth and are content with what you have. I would applaud such an answer, but it would be besides the point. What we’ve been systematically robbed of, is our time. Years, decades that could be spent enjoying your lives with our loved ones, instead spent slaving away at a desk or in a factory only to make the few who have everything even more. That, to me, is absolutely unforgivable, especially since I’ve long since past my physical prime and am still being robbed of this time against my will.
Now, if you want to alter the claim to “the threat of violence is needed,” then I would be more inclined to agree; however, individually murdering certain billionaires is not productive;
Again, I disagree. There are about ~2700 billionaires on earth out of ~8 billion people. Killing half of them and having that wealth redistributed would solve more problems than it would create. But if I do that, I’m thinking like said billionaires.
Which is the only way to fight them. If you try the moral and legal route, you won’t stand a chance because you’ll be fighting within systems and rulesets they have created to give themselves every (unfair) benefit.
Sometimes the disgruntled worker who shanks the boss is the hero we need.
Turkey is very similar in this regard. Progressive cities, backwards countryside.
