Precisely. It’s why I reject being too strict about ruling out judgement due to “signs of the times”. In the famous words of Parenti, ancient Greece actually had a whole segment of the population opposed to slavery. They were called slaves.
Most cities are trying to improve it. My city has invested $1B into a light rail expansion, and $500M into BRT
You can only use that excuse if you’re rolling rollies or spliffs
Even then, don’t be an asshole and just find a garbage can
60 psi is definitely in the “rip your dick off” range
In a general sense, the difference between a regular workplace with a union and a worker co-op is that the company is, in part, managed and/or owned by the workers themselves. There’s varying degrees of this, but the best (and unfortunately least common) co-ops elect their managers. It’s my opinion that electing managers is a crucial part of a worker owned economy, but a union is still needed to represent the workers.
No it’s not, but if you don’t have any it will destroy your life.
The hair gremlins wake us up if they try to pluck our facial hair
Thankfully a lot of workers have it in their union contract, so it’s not going away entirely
Well duh, why else were we island hopping?
Not sure where that’s coming from, I’m an anti fascist and interpreted this as more about how nostalgia twists our memory
Tbh I’m tired of the “utopia is actually evil” trope. I like how Earth is presented in trek without many hidden evils. Starfleet has problems and the show explores them (look at the maquis), but they’re authentic to the stated mission of exploring and discovering.
If we’re sticking to the trek universe but using these ideas, they should go to the mirror universe or pre-federation
Damn, I had no clue about the links between Asperger’s and the Nazi scientist. It’s a good thing that it’s not a diagnosis anymore, because of the whole nazi science thing.
Damn sounds like the rebuild will be a nail biter! Hope it goes well, good luck and god speed. Toss in a couple hail Satan’s too, you’ll need all the help you can get
Hope you kept a good backup
I picked up on that one, I remember that they’d get pretty buddy-buddy for a while before it just stopped sometime around 2019. Apparently things have escalated a little.
I don’t think Linus has the ability to pilot a company, even as a C-Suite with no actual responsibilities. I went from respecting them to seeing them as just another shitty corporation.
I checked out from all LMG videos after I found out about the treatment of Madison during the huge controversy. WTF is going on over there? I thought Linus and Steve were friends at one point, did Linus forget that Steve remembers everything?
This got me thinking about an actual modified chess game. The location of a capture becomes difficult terrain that prevents normal movement for most pieces, but for pawns it creates high ground that prevents capture. En passant can only be done from these spaces
China invaded Alaska, so the US forcibly annexed Canada because they wouldn’t let troops cross the land border due to natural resource disputes. With the exception of “oops, no transistors”, the prewar geopolitical fallout lore is extremely somewhat realistic
Edit: I haven’t thought about the lore in a long time, it’s less realistic than I remember. However the progression of the resource wars is very solid
congestion pricing doesn’t apply to public transit, which is the point. Take the damn bus to work. If it’s a long walk from your stop, you can buy an ebike with money saved from not maintaining a car.
Video game companies. I don’t feel like I need to explain this one, but some extra shittyness to digest: less than a year after forming, the Activision QA union has filed at least 1 ULP for illegal termination
