Just add degrees to any ol’ unit. It’s fine. Unit multiplication isn’t implied, I promise!

I just biked 25 degrees kilometre!

It’s the word of the day every day they be doing war crimes.

Not only is it impossible to evacuate that many people in that short a time, but they’re basically declaring that they’re going to use their military to targer and kill civilians.

Which is a war crime.

“Hamas did it first” doesn’t give them a pass here. If it’s not ok for Hamas, it’s not ok for the Israeli state. And inverting that, if it is ok for the Israeli state…

Just another episode of Pog & Dar: Cop Landlords

People spending more time with fewer games is not a reason, in publishers’ minds, to reverse course. It’s the intended outcome.

Having the same number of people (or near the same number) playing fewer games, and filling those games with monetization features is cheaper and easier to maintain than having a broad and growing library of titles.

Remember, the ideal for publishers is to have one game that everyone plays that has no content outside of a “spend money” button that players hit over and over again. That’s the cheapest product they can put out, and it gives them all the money. They’re all seeking everything-for-nothing relationships with customers.

It’s not “deal with” so much as “stop causing them”.

The system required personally ambitious people to the right thing for everyone instead of the thing that would get them further ahead as an individual. In the face of the wealth and power of the oil industry, corruption was almost inevitable, sadly.

That doesn’t really answer the question, though. Most violence is done by people who are habitually violent, and most violence is not completely random and committed against strangers.

Dude is broken, but someone being traumatized and repeating a cycle of aggression and trauma doesn’t actually explain any particular incident they have.

Now do 1985.

Never mind, I’ll do it myself: NES games were $50, which today is about $185.

The credentialism is overwhelmingly about classism, so if you make university free, that part becomes a totally different beast. That BSc is no longer a sign that you come from wealth (or are willing to indenture yourself to employers to LARP it), so it becomes less of an issue.

It also addresses the “one or two classes” issue.

The scheduling thing can be fixed by restructuring work. There’s no good reason work needs to take up a contiguous block of time each day nor why it needs to take up 1/2 of the waking day.

I don’t know, seemed obvious from context.

Or, we could acknowledge that a populace educated in enriching educational topics is a huge net benefit to society, and we don’t do that.

Let people pay for business school, or other bullshit that only benefits private interests.

It would, absolutely, but it still means a whole lot.

It’s a recognition by a slick, seasoned, career politician in the highest office in his country that the winds are shifting with respect to the labour movement.

Don’t think of this as Biden expressing any deeply held belief. Don’t think of anything he does in those terms. The Democrats in general, and Biden especially, are a mirror that reflects something meaningful about the socio-political environment. Just as Trump and the Republicans are.

He and his team believe that something in that environment has shifted, and that labour is poised to be ok the winning side of that shift.

They need to be won back over, and the way you do that is basically the same way Trump did in the first place: by making them feel seen, supported, and important.

Accurate. I’d like to go home now.

just someone using the term to mean “young people”

Rude. How dare they stop using “Millennial” to mean “young people”. They weren’t supposed to recognize that some of us are in our 40s now!

Man, do I have some bridges to sell you.

Negative utility is still utility, right?

This was definitely one of the cutest of the shots I got. Though, theyhave this feathery plumes on their fronts and backs that make them kind of adorable from all angles
