Thank goodness there isn’t a concerning bird flu variant rattling around in dairy cows in the US right now then…

Maybe that’s why it failed

Well 250,000 is more than 250 so they’re technically correct (the best kind of correct)…

Given how much Trump allegedly wants the peace prize because Obama got one, the Nobel committee have an opportunity to do the funniest shit ever by giving Zelenskyy it over him.

No. He’s too good for their ratings.

Though I do wish Zelenskyy had pointed out the $350bn in aid lie that Trump keeps spouting.

He would need to have been able to get a word in edgeways to do that. What should happen is that media reporting on it should point out that it’s a lie but most media organizations seem too busy gargling Trump’s balls these days for that.

In fairness, in this case it’s part of a quote.

Time for the UK government to make good on all that money we spent rescuing OneWeb…

If he was scared of being hanged for treason you would have thought he might have stopped committing treason for five minutes.

I’ll take “why is my codebase full of technical debt” for 500, Alex.

Feels like it would be quicker and easier just to write the code myself at that point…

I think the sky is a mod, though i’m not 100% sure because i haven’t played vanilla in years.

The true Skyrim experience.

Nice to have you over here. May i ask what sort of job are you looking for?

Man that’s some fucking weasel wording. Will be seen as flying in the face of international law? That would be because it blatantly does.

Look at mr. billionaire over here able to afford eggs

Privatizing it in the first place is the work of people who are corrupt as hell, inhumanly evil, dumb as rocks, or, most likely, all of the above.

In this case corrupt and evil. Thatcher had tried it twice before and had to back down because it was (and still is) an incredibly unpopular policy that was at risk of losing them the 1987 election. Immediately after the election they privatized the lot before anyone could complain.

‘EA/BioWare owns the IP but you can’t own an idea’

Isn’t owning ideas the whole point of IP laws?

a lot of the pretty CNN idiots are Trump protagonists

Sure, but for Trump it’s important not just to have sycophants but to not have any dissent.

Of the wealth this hypothetical tax would apply to. If you want to criticize the original premise you’re replying to the wrong person.

Because, as I said, if they instead tax 98% of their wealth then all the billionaires will move there and they’ll get 98% of a lot more while everyone else gets 99% of nothing. Until a country works out they could get 97% of all that wealth to themselves and so on and so forth until you get down to the sort of tax levels we actually see. It’s just basic game theory in the end.
