Ahahah I experienced only the media narrative, and it did play out exactly as you described it.

Of course now it comes to reason that many people were actively working to fix the problem, but they never really explained that part on TV.

Yep I think pops here has this one, us Millennials grew up with leet speak, it already was a thing in the 80s.

Rumours had the pot at 187 million dollars, to be split 50/50.

Jake Paul in the meantime had tweeted that it was more, that he was getting 267 millions or something.

Even by the more conservative estimate, 90 million dollars buy you a lot of healthcare…

Paimon? So the cute fluffy sidekick in Genshin is one of the princes of hell?

He has to scrape Jake Paul off of his legs a lot, that looked like hard work.

The BBC article covering this “boxing” match is awesome. You can tell right from the title that the journalist wasn’t amused:

Joshua and Paul earn riches but deliver budget sporting spectacle

The plot played out in the ring was lifeless - a slow, joyless watch that would have struggled to earn even a charitable rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

And the ultimate irony is that this spectacle has provided one of Joshua’s biggest paydays and, in all likelihood, his largest television audience.

With seconds remaining in the fourth round, referee Christopher Young perhaps spoke for viewers around the world when he pulled the fighters together and urged them to engage.

Directing his comments at Paul, he said: “Fans didn’t pay to see this crap.”

Ok but that’s just evil.

They painted it at a T junction, you can see there’s a road coming from the opposite direction, and at night, anybody who’s not local could have fallen for that and just assumed it was normal crossroads.

There’s also barely, if any, sidewalk in front of the painting, that could at least have alerted the driver.

It’s pure luck that the guy wasn’t driving fast, or there’d be dead bodies because of this stupid prank. This needs jail time, even if suspended.

True, but…

There’s a couple of warning flags in that story - what’s with the “I spend my time making my boss’s life hell”? That doesn’t sound conducive to building a trusting relationship…

Then there’s how you work through a problem with someone, especially higher management. I’ve learned to not over share the details, because there’s this invisible force that commands them to give an opinion and butt in.

Just offer calm assurance that you know what it is going on and that you can fix it, and give them an estimate of how long it will take, but double it first. This will give you leeway in case of unexpected issues, and make you look good if you deliver faster.

One thing they’re good at though is getting you resources. If you need someone else to move, or something to get it fixed, be clear about that and they’ll start making phone calls and make it happen in no time.

All the code has already been written, and building software is about piecing together stack overflow posts.

Discuss.

This is 100% the reason for the documentary in the first place. Quote from the director:

My dream would be that when people watch it, they take flat Eartherism as an analogy to something they believe in, because it’s so easy to demonize another group or another person for something they think but you’re kind of just as guilty if you do that.

These are humans, people that are missing something in their lives, and this community and their “secret knowledge” grants them that.

I see the SovCit movement as exactly the same thing, but when one digs deep enough, maybe one finds the same in the fanatical MAGA crowds, and in the most fervent religious people, and it’s not a coincidence that there’s an overlap in membership between these groups…

The answer is, and always has been, unions and strikes.

Do your part.

“And that’s when enshitification kicked in”

But even the “plain” pringles, I swear they used to be tasty as sin. Nowadays they feel like I’m chewing sawdust crackers or something…

Of course! The smooching had me giggling like a teenager.

But also, I’m so impressed by just how much stage presence Christian Boyle and Jeremy Jordan have! I’m not dissing anyone, far from it, I love the whole cast so much, but those two are made for live acting, they have this bigger than life quality or something.

I loved the whole name change arc in season 2 lol.

What utter bullshit is this? Are you that ignorant, or are you intentionally misrepresenting history? In either case, you need to shut your mouth.

Fascism is a far-right political ideology. Let explain to you what it is composed of, its beliefs:

It is authoritarian: no democracy, no elections, only one single party led by one charismatic fugure. This usually comes with the “cult of the Leader”.

It is ultranationalist: people from that nation (or race) are considered “supreme”, that others are inferior and even “subhuman”, and usually comes with a narrative that they are being attacked (despite being dominant).

It is repressive: political opposition is suppressed, the media is attacked and “put under control”, and individual freedom and rights are taken away to maintain social order and ensure the absolute authority of the state.

It is totalitarian: state must control all aspects of public and private life, including the economy and culture, abusing propaganda and censorship.

This is what America is turning into RIGHT NOW. Not so in the late 30s, when Americans were coming out from the Great Depression, and when its values were literally opposed to all of these.

In that lady’s defense, some people seem to have their internal monologue tuned to the wrong frequency, and usually blurt it out instead.

That’s anthropomorphism.

Dogs don’t need some long, heartfelt apology. They’re pretty good at understanding humans, they’ve been around us for millennia after all, and most people instinctively know how to convey to their dog that they’re not being aggressive - the dog quickly understand it was an accident.

The big apology, the tears, etc that’s for us, to make us feel less bad about having hurt them. They don’t need it, but they will gladly take the cuddling and petting, so no harm there. :)

Wanna fly up in the sky
There’s something more I seek

I wanna feel the warmth of the
Morning sun across my beak

'Cause I’m a seagull, yeah, yeah
I got a beak, yeah, yeah

This verse, he talks about leaving the rock again. Well, the relationship, obviously. “Feeling the sun on his beak”, the beak is, obviously, a phallic symbol. It’s his penis.
