Clueless MBA parasites ruining shit for everybody again?

Must be a day that ends in Y

“But hur dur bacon”

the only political group that supports Putin in Portugal are the communists.

I’m very much a leftist and this is just something I haven’t managed to wrap my mind around. How can anyone claim to be a leftist and support an extremist right wing dictator?

We’ve known about the dangers of overusing antibiotics for decades now, and it’s become obvious that this is yet another case where we won’t do near enough to combat a problem until it’s already much too late and practically disastrous

Surprising that Euronews is still running pro-Ukraine news considering it’s now owned by Orbánists

Interesting that they released Yashin. I wonder if he got asylum from somewhere or if he’s staying in Russia? Neither NPR or The Guardian mentioned anything and I haven’t done any searching yet.

Also, I had no idea who Whelan is so I went and read his wiki page – apparently he’s a former US Marine who got arrested in Russia over charges of espionage. Based on the article I was left with the impression that the charges seem like bullshit, but his FSB buddy thing was, well… pretty weird if nothing else. Apparently he was in Russia for the wedding of a friend who’s also a former Marine, and it somehow struck me as funny that jarheads seem to like Russia

Exclamation mark!

It really doesn’t seem to even occur to a lot of people that there are different ways to do this stuff

Yeah there were so many condemnations of the idea that brought up “but they’d maximize worker welfare!” like it’s a bad thing

Unsurprisingly HN is full of people who are sure that this would be bad for society and that it should be up for the “market to decide” - because if co-ops were good they’d be more common, not like there’s any societal context that could keep them from being more popular

House Activision’s been taking notes

But it’s a deterrent!

Well, only one session left for that to happen. Let’s see, who knows?

Jesus fuck, I didn’t even know about this. That’s an actually dystopian draft, holy shit that’s bad – here’s to hoping that either the final is much saner than what the current draft is, or that it just doesn’t get signed by eg. EU countries, but I’m not exactly feeling hopeful

They should have just add more rainbows to the skin

I think that’s called tattooing

I just can’t bring myself to be excited about this. The trailers have made it look like yet another action-packed monster movie with forgettable characters and in which ultimately nothing very interesting really happens, but there’ll be a lot of ooh aah special effects for sure.

Well, my days of not taking you seriously are certainly coming to a middle.

My dearly beloved ham sandwich, this is a meme and not a dissertation. You seem to be the only person here taking it this seriously – I doubt folks walked away from this meme completely convinced there’s now an epidemic of raccoons breaking into Cybertrucks

Or a raccoon with a crowbar

Yeah that definitely sounds exhausting. I’ve had a few chances to work with some absolutely exceptional people who I could trust would do their job to the best of their ability, and then some… well, less than exceptional people who really needed constant hand-holding up to the point of me having to read error messages for them (“what does the error message say? Oh you didn’t read it? Well, do the thing again so you get a new one. Ok so it says that the foo failed to flerb: have you tried checking the foo? No? Well, maybe try that and see where it gets you”), and I definitely know which one I preferred.
