But I was assured by lemmygrad that they were helping historical colonial countries out of the goodness of their own hearts. /s

It’s who’d’ve thought. Not to correct, but because double contractions are the best.

Just one note, restaurant prices go up because uber eats charges a percentage based fee for each menu item. So, restaurants need to up the prices on the app just to make the same amount of money. Just some good ol’ under-the-table fuckery courtesy of Silicon Valley bastards.

That isn’t observed human to human transmission. That’s a “mutation favorable for human transmission” observed in a case without a clear animal source. Those are two very different things. Good lord, scared me for no reason.

Yep, it’s their business model. People were pissed about Cyberpunk because they’d only played Witcher 3 after it was complete.

Sarcasm without tags on 4chan gave safe harbor to neonazis. I think a slightly tarnished joke is worth it to keep out nazis.

That, plus sarcasm really only works if people know who you are, and thus can know you’re being sarcastic. It doesn’t reliably come across when you’re talking to strangers.

There’s a strike

… wrong comment to reply to?

OP, don’t share The Guardian articles until Thursday in solidarity with the strike. Don’t cross the picket

Yes, not everyone knows

OP, there’s a strike and members of The Guardian staff ask that you don’t share links. Don’t cross the picket line

Since geopolitics switched to neoliberalism, Governments are unable to respond to the needs of their citizens. This has led to an increasingly fast-paced game of hot potato where any leading political party looks incompetent as economic disaster after economic disaster crushes more of their citizens. In this climate, the anger of Nationalism/Fascism becomes easier to swallow, since it has “answers” to your “problems”.

That, plus moneyed interests need to keep climate change going in order to make all the money, so they embrace fascism rather than competent Government.

… really? They’re still being fought in the courts. Like, what the fuck commentary is this? “What about the thing you’ve been trying to do this whole time?” Yeah, they’re still doing that.

Did you consider that Microsoft lawyers said prices wouldn’t go up? Cause they did, they did say that, which is why the merger was approved. Do you think lawyers can just lie? Don’t you think it’s much more fair now that companies can make pinky promises that prices won’t go up before they become more monopolistic. That’s just good business for both customers and businesses /s

Hey. You’re the one shoveling disheartening shit, not me. Pretending a general strike would be easy here in the states is one of the other reasons why it’s so fucking hard to do. Every time someone half-asses one, people buy into the hype, and then nothing happens makes it less likely for an actual general strike to happen. It’s a logistical nightmare that could only work if you got unions to buy-in, and that would require coordinating contract expirations to coincide around the time you want the strike to happen, since unions in the states can’t legally go on a solidarity strike. I’m definitely not saying it’s impossible, but crying that it’s actually really easy and the fact that America hasn’t done it is because we all actually like the taste of boot is the actual demotivating opinion to shovel.

Refuse? This was called by unions. In the US, that kind of union activity is illegal. What system do you think we can use in the US to call for a general strike that enough people would 1) be aware of the strike 2) agree with the need for a strike and 3) be able to participate without harming their livelihoods? Cause in Greece, the answer for all three was unions. Here in the states… I don’t know if anything is setup for that. Even reaching enough people to begin with would be tough.

Like, be rightly angry at the laws in the US that make this nigh impossible, maybe raise awareness, but don’t blame the damn victims.

Second largest economy is about to collapse. If you think this won’t affect you, I’ve got some beach front property in Nebraska I think you’d love.
