yup. this terrible call of duty story mode

the south has a great many good people in it whose voting access has been stripped from them by criminalization schemes and gerrymandering. you want the south to stop ruining elections? federalize national reforms on voter access and gerry mandering.

the exploitation of the south isn’t initiated by southerners, it’s initiated by the bosses and the bankers. basically the solution to the south being a problem is to return to Ulysses S Grant’s strategy of prosecuting the KKK and handing out money to poor people.

why in the thumbnail is it neither org’s logos?

places still list Labour as centre-left and as an outside observer i can’t say i see it that way. i’m remembered of the 1970s when in the US the coal labor unions got so much power that the union leaders became the new bosses. they worked with the mine operators and the courts to keep the mines open even as the workers pled with them to do more and call a strike to get respirators so they’d stop dying of black lung (btw, black lung is part of the inspiration for white plague in one piece).

the labour party seems pretty right to me

most importantly it has a severe network effect problem. you will not find anyone to message on it

my appalachian perspective is it has been since the advent of the ironclad in the 1860s

the circle is the city location, not the tip of the cone, for anyone else who was confused

and Adam Smith was arguing through this reasoning that the people of the world would be better off, as well as their bosses, if businesses were in cooperation rather than having the state an immobile hierarchy based on hereditary inheritences. ultimately, this comic presents what BOTH Smith and Marx had to say about capital within a capitalist society: that ownership of the means of production is the ultimate source of power. what Marx struck on, though i would argue less well than his anarchist contemporaries, or his indigenous and Black contemporaries, is that the top class in a classist society does not hoard the means of production through greed, but through cruelty justified through greed. Adam Smith, ultimately, is an early reformer/incrementalist. there are a few things he got right, but a lot of stuff he got wrong. i don’t think just because Adam Smith said somthing is a reason to discredit that thing

hooray! learning about the abolition of poverty through the framework of making computers go beep boop wasn’t a total waste of time!

oh my god. i’m so excited right now. i majored in Computer Linguistics and Philosophy in college. i have a degree in exactly this. so… a computer programming language (PL) is a dialectic set of commands that can be composed and then compiled into machine langauge (ML) and interpretted by the computer into manipulations on a data structure. the primary goal of a PL is to facilitate human to human communication about what the program’s ML will do. there has only ever been one serious attempt to create a PL with the breadth of expresson of human language (HL) through Perl. this has generally been found to be a bad idea.

however, Perl revealed still addressed some very serious issues in computer linguistics that are starting to be addressed now 30 years later. the biggest success story to come out of Perl is Ruby. see the problem in computer liguistics is that almost all of the PLs in any kind of use are structured around Germanic, Italic, and Ruthenic grammars. this is especially damaging for people whose people have been opressed by speakers of these languages. there’s been a burgeoning movement to structure at least SOME PLs around native languages in Siberia, Africa, southeast Asia, and North America, especially languages that are at risk of total elimination like Lakota, Lomavren, and Ongota. unfortunately we also have to confront the colonial economic forces that have been strangling these languages as no boss wants code written for business in a PL structured around a critically endangered language

TLDR: you’re absolutely right to summarize things how you have, but the proplems at play are WAY more interesting imo

makes a little green box on their github activity chart that they can show to a potential employer

At least from this experience I learned I’m something called a “techno hippy”

I can’t find Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, but Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem is mentioned very prominently, who has close ties to the Maktoums.

OH! i misinterpreted your thread starter. i thought… never mind what i thought. nevermind 🤣

yes.

this is something that makes me wish more casual document writers would migrate away from MS office

i’d be interested to learn about this

i was coming in here to recommend exactly that!

yup! we need to systematically restructure our society and how we live. the climate collapse is the result of society that rewards moral apathy

in europe the kinder chocolate is much higher quality than in the us
