Just learned about the Ch’King sandwich, where Burger King learned that - shock! - food is better when it’s prepped fresh for the customer with quality ingredients.
But since it took longer to make, it ended up losing them money, despite being far and away the best thing on the menu. So they discontinued it.
I hate this stupid economic system.
socialists in the US vote for the democratic party
If you’re voting for the democratic party then you are not a socialist. Politics aren’t just a feeling you have or something you say you believe in, they’re actions that you take.
before… SCOTUS had been carving out exceptions to the fourth and fifth amendments
They’ve been doing that shit since the country was founded. The fourth and fifth amendments only exist if you’re a rich person and the cops need an excuse not to investigate you.
I’ve heard of card counters getting stopped by security when they try to walk into a casino, there are definitely ways to “make” someone’s car and put it in a database but the tech is still spotty afaik.
I seem to remember losing interest in the series the moment when, in one of Black Flag’s gameplay trailers, the announcer was saying something like “now in this mission you don’t have weapons, so you have to use stealth” and it took exactly ten seconds for the player to insta-kill a guard and steal his weapon. At that point why even have weapons as a conceit at all?
Because they haven’t learned from their failure and the only option is to double down on their awful business plan.
Eh, the cycle of collapse and consolidation will hit the streaming system exactly the same as it would any other industry. I feel like the system will stabilize around 3-5 big services - maybe amazon, hbo, and disney, with youtube premium and apple TV as the “also rans” - which will all have premium price points and ads, and the average person who subscribes to them will be paying about as much (after inflation) as they used to pay for cable.
Whatever the current western governments are pushing. Right now it’s all about having access to treats.
Just took off and disassembled my motorcycle’s rear tire, only to find that the spare I’ve had all this time waiting for precisely this moment is the wrong size :pain:
Yeah it’s a Ural, a bike I actually have, but with a full electric drivetrain, which I don’t have but really want. Unfortunately this was done as a concept bike, not a prototype for an actual production model.
Also Urals are still based on a design the Soviets stole from the Germans in the 30s, with some modernization but not as much as you’d think, which is why they look like that.
This picture is specifically of their one off electric concept, which they’ve clarified that they don’t intend to actually make.
Searching “Burkina Faso Al Quaeda” brings up a lot of articles from multiple sources about different massacres. The conflict seems to predate the current government by quite a bit but they’ve failed to secure their rural regions against it, whether that’s because the US/France is meddling I can’t say (but I assume is likely).
According to this article (Al Jazeera link), the conflict is related to the civil war currently ongoing in Northern Mali, which attracted AQ and ISIS and it would not surprise me if it also attracted American money, especially since it seems to have spilled into Burkina Faso right around their first election in a while and has only been intensifying since the new anti-US government took power. I don’t know enough about what’s going on to talk more specifically though.
There have been a few instances where licensed content has been retroactively removed from libraries, though. Steam doesn’t let you download older versions of a game unless the devs explicitly allow it.
No, but like… dude, you could flip half of those supposed traits between categories and it would read exactly the same. That’s why I called it astrology.
Perhaps you just did a bad job of presenting the book’s ideas, but I’ve just read through a summary of it and it didn’t exactly make me reconsider my knee jerk reaction.
This is your brain on idealism, just pure vibes. Political astrology.
I think a factor is just S Korea’s working class being squeezed that much harder than many other places. They’re calling it the “gender war” but it’s all just people being forced to live in unbearable conditions while getting more and more isolated from each other.

literally twice as powerful as a Primaris Space Marine 💪
hardly a day goes by that I don’t dream about this motorcycle being real
Imagine for a moment that you are a pacifist. But then you join the military, go overseas, and kill hundreds of people. Should you get to call yourself a pacifist? Of course not!
Same theory here. If you think socialist thoughts, speak socialist words, and then support capitalist parties - then you my friend are a capitalist. There are plenty of ways to do socialist praxis within a political system where the electral system has been entirely captured by capitalist interests, so don’t you waste your tears crying about “gatekeeping”.
