I unironically love the description of one of the most successful and influential works of art ever created as a musical you once saw because your friend was in it. That’s as working class as it gets.
Wow I never knew this. That’s fascinating.
Russia has considerable interest in Syria and likely isn’t watching Israel’s invasion into Southern Syria with glee.
A local type of yam that tastes like a cross between a carrot and a potato.
Everything becomes more expensive once a market for it is created. Meanwhile local foods like murnong and kangaroo apples are free in Australia.
They’ve been trying this for decades in Australia. The so called red-unions.
The red unions have never won a bargaining agreement. Have never even won a seat at the table. They’ve never even won the right to have representatives in the workplace. They’re openly sponsored by bosses to muddy the waters and divide actual unions. They are unregistered and undemocratic.
Despite the fact they’ve never done anything for their members they claim to have 18,000 members. Mostly anti-vaxxers.
I use an RSS app called Feeder, and Lemmy. I find I go back to The Conversation a lot as I find it covers topics in a calm tone of voice and with a level of academic rigor that I appreciate.
CEOs were “reluctant to say anything publicly,” and were waiting until the market dropped 20 percent before they would go on record saying anything critical about the president.
At that point the horse has truly bolted my dudes. The only plus is that I enjoy the idea of these greedy fucks squirming as everything they ever wanted blows up in their faces.
I don’t know what people find so confusing about this. This is the business mindset. If you’re not growing your failing. Empires get bigger by taking more land. Therefore the American empire must take more land. It’s not rocket science. It’s a child’s view of ‘winning’.
Lol the Pentagon isn’t afraid to fake evidence to support an invasion. Remember the aluminium tubes? Remember yellow cake uranium? I remember.
Hello. I’ve watched multiple invasions happen in my lifetime. We all knew it was going to happen every time.
We were just getting into it when we had someone collapse on the footpath outside our house, he was unable to walk and was calling for help. We had to go perform first aid and call an ambulance. Didn’t feel like fucking after that.
The idea that 70% of lottery winners lose all their winnings isn’t true. It’s based on a fake statistic.
The news loves to highlight the cases where that’s true because it reinforces the cultural notion that wealth is tied to morality.
Tape is rad for long term storage
I remember hearing a good quote along the lines of 'Peripherals do not sell consoles. By their very nature their sales market is pre-existing console owners."
Plus Yosuke Okunari also said “Sega had devoted much of its game development capabilities to the 32X (and much of its hardware stock, since the 32X used the same chip as the Saturn) during the 1994 year-end sales season.” Which ruined Sega’s capacity to support manufacturing and game development of the Saturn.
Interesting seeing this after the flurry of positive articles he’s been receiving over the last month.
Paying more for good quality tools to fix things properly can seem like a luxury initially, but they’re worth it when you’re 10 years down the line and still able to use the same set as if they were brand new.
The Cheeto could straight up shoot him dead in the oval office, then alter Elon’s last will and testament live on TV and nobody could do jack shit about it.
My partner and I struggled with whether it was moral to have kids considering the future that we’re facing. But I guess emotion won out over logic. I wouldn’t judge anyone for not having kids, but I love mine more than I thought I could love anyone or anything.
