Well yeah, implementation may vary with dictators.

It’s because socialism does not stand up to outside pressures. It always turns towards benevolent totalitarianism as a method of defending itself from bad actors.

You’d think this would make it very easy for reddit admins to find and ban bots.

Doesn’t git have builtin svn repo conversion?

NGL, that is how I first learned of the song, and I do love it.

TBF all those sci-fi transparent displays would be terrible to use

Dinna’ please

Once I got Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for my birthday, I just so happened to do something (don’t remember what) to get grounded from TV/Nintendo for a month. I read that manual so many times over the next month. Not sure I ever actually beat that game.

Anyone else in London I would assume.

My computer has windows and can fly

Drink more water, that’s my solution

Pretty sure that’s an air pistol and firing an actual pistol like that (assuming something big enough actually blow a head off) would do weird things to her shoulder.

Let’s engage in a thought experiment.

If Harris were to have negotiated a $15 minimum wage with Republicans but to do so had to give up the EPA. Would that earn your favor?

Let us assume that giving up the EPA is too much, do you see a world where the Republicans agree to anything while getting anything you are OK with giving up?

Perhaps you and the Republicans share some common wedge issue, do you think you would get any Democratic support for a bill that makes that trade?

Minimum wage is currently a partisan issue, a party that believes it should be increased and a party who doesn’t think it should exist. Just keeping it is as is is a negotiation.

I think part of the subtext of the wizarding world is its parallels to British sensibility. You do things the way they’ve always been done because that’s just the way of it. You don’t come up with new spells, you rely on the tried and true spells that have been around for centuries.

Back in the day it was a very think pane of glass that I couldn’t really harm. Now, I do not punch the monitor.

I am confused. What is lol about “government agency”?

I would contend this isn’t political, as it is making parody of a government agency and not the political parties mentioned.

Woke mafia coming for your beans!

Plus there’s an old adage by J Paul Getty, “If you own the bank $100, that’s your problem. If you owe the bank $100 million, that’s the banks problem.”

Similarly everyone you owe money to is now invested in your success.
