It happened before, it could and is happening again. The East India Trading Company was the most profitable company in the world after looting and conquering India for a while before the British government formally took over.
Just a nitpick, the fastest transportation for thousands of years were boats.
And this is the guy who the Anti-Defamation League defended with a waffle of a statement that his awkward gesture was "made in a moment of enthusiasm". Though I should not be surprised, because fascists actually hate each other and are only allies out of convenience. Hasbara and its tentacles are secretly seething to hate on Musk.
At least AI won't fire you.
Use them too often enough and it will cause hearing loss. It happened to my dad. The doctor said it is one of the side effects. I know other people who pop paracetamol unnecessarily when they feel slight pain or headache.
McNamara fallacy at its finest. They hear figures and potential savings and then jump into the hype without considering the context. It is the same when they heard of lean manufacturing or Toyota way. Companies thought it is cost saving rather than process improvement.
Nah. Russia will implode itself on its own even without resistance. As if Russia never learned anything that autocratic control over economy never works, because their political culture is too corrupt to function effectively.
Francis Fukuyama, as wrong as he was about the end of history, is still correct that dictatorships eventually collapse because they surround themselves with yes men who are too detached from reality. The invasion of Ukraine is the beginning of the end for Putin. It is only a matter of time.
If you think about it, organs that serve dual purpose for excretion and sex is disgusting. You're doing oral where pee also comes out. Most people don't think this is terrible because speciesm. We think possessing anus hanging over one's face is disgusting. But if snails could talk, they would say it is disgusting to have sex where your organs also just peed.
For the prosperity of Bezos.
That sounded like a legit chant.
Also, these people will take paracetamol with no questions asked.
If I am the head of department of health, I would order a candid infomercial along the motif of "you wouldn't steal a car, you wouldn't pirate" but it goes "you don't question paracetamol. Why do you question vaccines?"
I was talking about this with a friend. The younger generations got screwed over because we have to evaluate what we value more, and give up one over the other to achieve one of the life goals. I managed to save for a house; but only because I lived with my parents for many years before moving out. I don't have a car and I haven't gone on foreign holidays in years. Meanwhile, my friend has travelled in so many countries but he doesn't have enough savings for a house. The boomer generation has been able to afford to live their life to the fullest with just a single household income, and didn't have to give up any or all of their life goals, values and desires.
Truly living up to their tankie label.
I would have gotten two months worth of groceries in just two seconds...

There is more to life you know? When will liberals learn.
Edit: I changed the title so that people will understand what I am getting at. It is important to realise that economic anxiety trumps other concerns, especially in the growing wealth inequality and the overt shows of oligarchic rule. As Franklin Roosevelt said: People who are hungry and out of a job are the stuff of which dictatorships are made.
Why would they want to win anyway? When they are already winning from so much corporate donations???!!!
And unfortunately lemmy.ml is getting more online traffic recently.
Ignoring the lack of updates if the game is buggy, games back then were also more focused on quality and make gamers replay the game with unlockable features based on skills, not money. I can't count the number of times I played Metal Gear Solid games over and over to unlock new features playing the hardest difficulty and with handicap features, and also to find Easter eggs. Speaking of Easter eggs, you'd lose a number of hours exploring every nook and cranny finding them!
What would be playing at your granny's station is Metallica.
