You’re describing a state

Who would enforce it

I would like to see the Hot Club de Paris with a shot of absinthe and a big fat joint

It kind of depends on where you want to go tbh. Maybe there are forums or subreddits you can ask wrt the specifics? I did a CELTA in the UK, and then moved to Spain, but different places demand different qualifications. If you just want to get some money together and don’t mind living in hell for a while, look at places like Saudi Arabia.

Pros:

• it’s the opposite of alienating
• living abroad is an adventure
• the money is good if you’re used to minimum wage

Cons:

• the money isn’t that good
• there isn’t really any sort of career progression
• like everything else, it’s getting ruined by corporate consolidation and stupid tech products

I second this. I can only assume that our esteemed comrade doesn’t know what a BA is but saw the word ‘Arts’ and decided to have a snipe. As if having a BSc is somehow a guarantee of employment lol.

If you’re looking to make ends meet while you look for something better, have you tried employment agencies. I know you mentioned recruitment agencies, but I graduated just after the 2008 crash, and bottom level admin work though agencies was all that was really open to me. Then I fled the country and became a TEFL teacher 🤷

Yeah a lot of effort has been put into presenting socialism/anarchism/Marxism as a reaction against humanistic liberalism (Stephen Pinker perfected this narrative), but the reality is that they are a development of it, and I do think we need to regain that sense of continuity somehow

Those crazy mfers lmao

The first time I saw the Spanish one was at like four in the morning, and I thought I’d had a stroke lol

I have very fond memories of the Neil Buchanan era — of how quaint, low-fi and distinctly British it was — so my mind was kind of blown when I realized it has since become an international franchise

“One point three two”, because otherwise the question is ‘thirty two what’. Consider what happens if we put a zero on the end — does it become “one point three hundred and twenty” despite being exactly the same number?

I’m using Bitwig (the DAW) wrt hardware, it’s an i7 4770 with 8gb DDR3 RAM (which doesn’t seem to be filling up) and a sata SSD.

It is definitely worth it

Most of those are just normal words

Such an excellent game. The writing is good too.

The dead need guidance. Filled with grief over their own death, they refuse to face their fate. They yearn to live on, and resent those still alive. You see, they envy the living. And in time, that envy turns to anger, even hate. Should these souls remain in Spira, they become fiends that prey on the living. Sad, isn’t it? The sending takes them to the Farplane, where they may rest in peace.

Simple stuff, almost boilerplate, but this bit really stuck with me for some reason.

Also, I’m a big turn-based combat fan, and this is one of the all-time greats

I think the shows themselves will change much less than the publicity around them. The wokeness of an e.g. Disney show has always existed more in the press releases than in the text itself.

There are obviously way too many superhero movies these days, but almost none of them grasp that it’s the saving that gets audiences excited. Credit where it’s due, Whedon understood this when he made The Avengers — so much of the climactic battle in that movie involves the heroes prioritizing saving people above all else, and it’s just so joyous as a result of that. It’s the one thing the genre can actually do well!

Very much agree wrt your last point. The saving people aspect of Superman is the one thing that really works; I don’t know why so many movies are scared to just embrace it.

Just write it in JavaScript then get Chat GPT to translate it into assembly
