I think I’d rather things cost what they need to cost, rather than games being expensive because the console was cheap. That way the manufacturer won’t be so invested in what you do with it after the sale, and you’re not getting scammed on the software pricing.

Oh no. They used something they owned in a different way than the manufacturer foresaw. How evil!

There was one!!!

What was it?

Also the younger generation needs to step up and run for office. The disillusionment with politics runs deep, but just staying out of it isn’t an option.

Go look at ______ on reddit

Errrm… No.

In that movie where that guy kisses his sister. 👉👈

That’s the sequel.

You can go back further than that.

The 1917 russian revolution kicked it off. The fear of a workers revolution happening in the US started a campaign of labelling everything socialist and communist as anti-american.

It’s the straw that broke the camel’s back.

Apparently one of the big places it’s found a home is the business consultancy firms. You know, the ones that get paid millions to produce slide decks that say things about “developing synergistic relationships to increase profitability”. Reason is because it allows “leads” to produce all that crap themselves without a huge team of idiot underlings. No change in quality because it was all bullshit anyway.

So now KPMG or PWC or whoever, is going into boardrooms as waxing lyrical on how AI cuts your wage bill. They can’t imagine going back.

You’re COUNTING sick days. Sick days are generally not counted elsewhere. There are limitations on the number of consecutive days you can take without getting signed off by a doctor, but that’s it. Had one team member that got frequent migraines, and averaged about 1 sick day every two weeks. Good employee, just took a lot of sick leave. Questions were asked but because it was a valid reason nothing was done.

What you’re describing is 25 days off plus public holidays. Very normal.

…and to bring you in line with the rest of the world.

Yes. You’re being a dick.

Elephants aren’t religious (as far as I know) yet even they will gather to say goodbye to a family member. When the day comes, you’ll want to too.

I’d disagree. It certainly means being against unbounded capitalism. I think you need heavy regulation on companies, but not the elimination of them.

You’re talking about how a particular party or group within a party behaves. Presumably you’re talking about the DSA. That’s fine.

Being socialist just means being an advocate for policies which put society above the individual.

• Public education / healthcare / housing
• A strong welfare system
• Favouring government run services for necessities over corporate solutions. E.g. water / power / transport services.

Being socialist just means that you agree that those a good goals. It doesn’t say anything about how you think they should be achieved.

Can I hope it was cleared so as to financial stretch the Ellisons as much as possible and put them closer to bankruptcy?

No? Damn it!

Presumably she’s not allowed because she should know by that age that the sun is always white. It’s just how it appears filtered through the atmosphere. Until she learns this, the playground is off-limits.

Well, the president claims most of his power from the fact he’s elected by the people, but I think many would agree that no one man should hold the power of the president. It’s too open to abuse.

I might not be socialist…

Why not?

The other part I don’t see talked about is that evaporative cooling produces water vapour, and water vapour increases greenhouse effects. Normally we don’t worry about water vapour emissions because it tends to fall out as rain or snow a couple of weeks later, but this is continuous usage. Continuous plumes of 600 tonnes of water vapour per AI data centre per day.

The trouble with the matrix space is that when the site is down it’s pretty much impossible to find the details for it.
