All those IPs that holders just sit on and do nothing with because they might have a profitable idea for it down the line.
Apparently that’s not even always the case. When someone buys an IP and uses it as a tax deduction, it’s supposed to remain a loss and can’t use it without re-doing that year’s taxes all over again, which is the sort of thing executive types hate more than burning money.
This absurdity has been an absolute joy to me in a time of anxiety and I’m almost thankful for it.
I’m still not clear which it is: Are these both (and a couple more mods) the same person or did Riobox really get catfish’d? The latter explains the situation better, but I don’t think it’s certain. The farce of a chat really screams one person wrote it, beyond unbelievable either person would write one side of that mess. Yet, the antimeme2 people were talking about the late mod being an Indian/Burmese boy and head mod being Brazilian. Their interactions from a few months back also show the head mod being “seduced.”
It’s hilarious and pathetic all around. I occasionally saw their posts on the previous weeks and took their wife/husband routine literally, a couple with cushy jobs spending their time making memes and moderating subreddits together seemed possible. Thank heavens that’s not the case, this is much more enjoyable.
I’ve had to deal with this enough times that nowadays when I want to copy-paste something into mail I copy-paste into a notepad first without thinking. Same with word documents.
It absolutely looks odd and it’s such a hassle to reformat in Gmail or word.
Even the oversimplification could be if some use, had the fool followed their own argument to a conclusion. To what end? In the same vein, what’s the point in talking about the sociological mechanism behind it if we’re not investigating its driving forces or where it actually comes from?
It’s “fatherless biped” thinking at its finest.
Using Solzhenitsyn’s words against him is good and all, but the rest of this is Trot-trot-trot. It’s only the most extreme Khrushchovite claims strung together in an attempt to, what? Defend the practices of the first few years to undermine the following 3 decades?
As infrequently as possible, which is about daily. Can’t think about the '90s without cursing Khrushchov.
The #1 group of people with no sympathy for slaughtered Jews is Zionists. They care nothing for the lives of Jewish people, be it in memory or actual human beings murdered by their weapons.
It’s a human instinct to look for a semblance of sensibility, but Zionists are liars of the highest order. For instance, “even if Hamas were using human shields” is an argument formed in understandable reaction, but it’s beyond futile. There’s no evidence they do, and there’s plenty of evidence the Zionist entity uses Palestinians as human shields in the most literal sense. Not to mention, medics can’t be shields by definition, and the IOF target and murder them too.
Unregulated capitalism isn’t meritorious, it’s meretricious, that’s clear as vacuum unless one believes in the magic of competition correcting every inefficient behaviour instantly. All the time, companies put failsons or useless nephews and nieces to undeserved posts, elevate people into managers based on arse licking, or sometimes bring in Econ infants with no clue what’s going on due to a perceived competence. Entire ecosystems built to leave nobody higher than an intern holding the bag when shit hits the fan, even if it means absurd amounts of labour time and resources wasted.
Anyway, the political compass is just another Facebook personality test. All ideologies sitting on some convenient spectrum is frequently just as thought terminating as liberal vs conservative.
Maybe it’s assuming you know literally nothing about history and anthropology alongside a beginner’s grasp of the English language?
Indeed, it’s rare that liberals look at a map of Poland in the '30s and ask in what fucking universe Lvov or Baranovichi are rightful polish territory. That in turn means it’s one of those things every communist has to learn by themselves. Maybe this post will inform other comrades as well.
At any rate, we’re reminded that the western narrative on the USSR (and all AES) is a house of cards standing on a foundation of a warped reality. Prodding at a few details shows easily it all comes down. If Poland were a fascist, expansionist power, the Soviets weren’t empire-building, they were reuniting their people. Then they wouldn’t be partners in crime with the Nazis, at worst they’d be people making best use of a bad situation, meaning they aren’t “allies with” or “as bad as” the Nazis and suddenly you’re left with the realisation that the man who said “we fought the wrong enemy” should’ve been shot before he could finish the sentence. There are far too many details of this sort in the period leading to WW2 in Europe, which is exactly why in the global north the history of WW2 isn’t a history of people or even nations, it’s of cool tanks and battles.
Western MSM figured out a long time ago that convincing people an atrocity is taking place is just a matter of bombarding them with insinuations and numbers. Their credulous imagination does the rest. It’s slightly different every time, but the outline is relatively clear.
The questions of methodology and such are perfectly valid and won’t be asked by the general public. Either Iran has closed itself off and we may not receive credible information, or these measures have been penetrated, in which case there’d be plenty of information from different sources. Of course, when the same group says the same thing under 3 different names westerners tend to believe it, so it doesn’t cost regime change enthusiasts any sleep.
Could someone kindly post the atlas meme? It’s a day that ends with y and the situation calls for it again.
When Biden took over, the concentration camps became holding facilities. What will these thugs become when the next blue fucker comes along?
What in the lobster doctor am I looking at?
That sounds more correct than what I had in mind, but these type of news have been around since the start of the current stage of the genocide. Similarly, there have been news of the Zionist entity’s economy falling off, being on the verge of disaster and so on. It’s not that I don’t appreciate people, especially comrades looking at these numbers and trying to make sense of them, but clearly the approach has been overly optimistic.
Sincere question: Who gives a fuck?
The specific data that would be affected by this is tangential to our analysis, it only guides liberals in their quest to find the perfect set of policies. Of the hegemon confuses and misleads its own custodians, what’s that to us? In the same vein, the reliability of government data has only very indirect effect on the people’s welfare. The article also says this could hinder AI. It’s a win-win-win.
Extrapolating these to the entire year and assuming ~1% increase in total emissions in line with previous years, the top 0.1% will be responsible for ~12% of emissions and the top 1% for ~33%.
Building a discrete volcano to drop every billionaire in would probably be a carbon negative endeavour within months.
150k in over 2 years? The number looks less impressive every time someone repeats it. In an entity of 10M it’s not exactly a drop in the bucket, but it’s certainly not the exodus some would seemingly have us believe.
Westerners freely take some hearsay about some city in China and apply it as something that’s definitely done in all of China all the time. If any AES city or province were doing a fraction of the Usian red states or terf island are doing to Trans people, they’d be calling for the entire country to be glassed.
Some sheriff was talking about how real police don’t hide their faces and so on. removed please, where the hell were you literally any time there’s a protest with marginally anti-capital undertones? It’s not as if the pigs need masks to get away with murder either, most of the time it all goes away before a judge need utter “qualified immunity” or some other legalese horseshit.
There’s a very particular truth in what he’s saying. The Europeans will not in any way take a lesson from this idiocy. They’ll wait the clown out and when someone civil succeeds him, they’ll think it’s hunky dory again.
They let a fucking corpse shepherd them into proxy war with Russia, one they still aren’t done with, and it’s not enough. They have to be vassals. They have to be the dogs of the empire, so that everyone else is, conceivably, beneath them.
