Ink for the ink god, drivers for the driver throne.

That would be in every thread, from the most pro-communism to the most anti-communism threads.

NY real estate, which is struggling

Sorry, what did I miss? Isn’t NY real estate the place where a 200sqft apartment costs millions of dollars?

“Team restructuring” is so much fun, you never know what you’re going to get.

Your boss’s boss now reports to a slightly different VP? Everyone is getting fired? No way to know which it’s going to be, until the end of the meeting.

34, Slovenia, same story.

Yeah me too, I thought he was like Jim Crow, or Tom Cotton.

There’s nothing “inexpensive” about that though.

On the other hand, I recently started doing the other kind of magic with cards. That sounds really cheap, all you need is a $5 deck of Bicycle cards, some YouTube tutorials, and you’re all set. Turns out, that can be a money sink as well if you decide to go deep (or wide) enough. Still far less than MTG though.

Also tankies claiming to be anti-imperialist when people want to leave your empire.

Can confirm, not in retail but a fully remote programmer, managers are still very often concerned that “everybody has something to do” much more than “everything gets done”.

The Solidarity movement, started in 1980 as a series of labor strikes, formed into a large trade union and then a political movement demanding workers’ rights, actual worker control over means of production, and similar socialist policies. It finally forced and won a public election in 1989 (on the very same day of the Tiananmen square crackdown) which in turn led to the end of communist (and Russian) rule in Poland.

No, there was another one, interestingly at the exact same time, in Poland. They don’t like that one either.

The burn to slow it down into a low orbit went too long, which made the resulting orbit too low (so low that it intersected the surface).

No word yet on why the burn was too long.

If we can’t solve every mathematical problem, there’s gonna be things in science that aren’t solvable either.

Not at all, math and science are very different things. Math is a fixed system of rules that we constructed. Within these rules, there are possible statements which cannot be proven or disproved using only those same rules.

Science is different, we don’t know the rules but we observe, measure, and make predictions. It’s not possible to “solve” physics but that’s because we can’t make infinitely accurate measurements, there’s nothing systemic to prevent us from making a complete theory.

I deny that the Warsaw Pact exists right now, if that’s what you mean. You might as well argue that the Roman Empire is in decline right now.

I also deny that the Warsaw Pact benefited its member countries. After all, it was the only defensive alliance that invaded its own members.

So if I register Antifa.com, then I’m the CEO of Antifa?

There is no such thing as an “Eastern European bloc”. There is only “Russia” and “countries running away from Russia”.

So you’re totally against war, but you don’t want those who start wars to get punished. Interesting.

That is the opposite of unpopular.

As a trans person, would you rather go to a beach where nobody is armed, or to a beach where everybody might be armed?

That is in the books too. It’s called a “Seldon crisis”, where the Foundation has only one possible way forward as means of keeping it close to the original plan.
