It used to work like that in Italy, although not with a national minimum wage but with union-negotiated contracts. At least some of them had a clause that automatically raised base salaries according to inflation.

I read somewhere that clause was removed because it’d cause a vicious loop where raising inflation meant higher wages, which in turn drove up inflation.

At face value it makes sense, but I’m no expert so I can’t say whether that’s correct or some bs to keep wages low.

How violent is hope

Love only knows

The Pogues - Pont Mirabeau

Plus from the wording of the article he doesn’t sound like he’s bragging about it, but that he doesn’t like what he did (although I don’t agree that “following orders” is much of an excuse)

Which computer?

Work computer = bad screen

Personal computer = good screen

Thanks, I hate it

I love Frieren and definitely recommend it, and that’s part of the reason I’m not sure I’d recommend it as a first anime.

Not because it’s challenging for a newcomer in any way, but rather because it oftentimes plays with expectations and trope subversion, and that would most likely be lost on someone that hasn’t watched other (similar) animes before.

That’s good, but for it to scale everyone should participate. Maybe we could manage it centrally to maximise the outcome, I guess maybe the state could do that? Kinda like taxes? And then the government could buy or build the house and give it to whoever asked for it… Wait a second!

Nasty powerses

So now I have to imagine it saying yamete kudasai every time I pick a sprig?

Thanks a lot, mr technically correct

I read that’s the position some courts have already taken, as they should.

Copyright can only be applied to a creative work, and that can only be created by a human being.

I’ve never been so offended in my entire life

Beer tastes better than humans though

I like the metal version by Feuerschwanz

Hey, beer is mostly water!

Summit beer.

Nothing like climbing a mountain and cracking open a warm one on the top.

There’s a direct correlation between altitude and improvement of taste.

Could it be Girls&Panzer perhaps?

Well, he did

Imagine your cat posting you pooping. Now that would be hilarious

Since I’ve seen no mention of it, I have to say Leverage.

Leverage follows a five-person team: a thief, a grifter, a hacker, and a retrieval specialist or “hitter”, led by former insurance investigator Nathan Ford, who use their skills to carry out heists to fight corporate and governmental injustices inflicted on ordinary citizens.

I freely admit the structure of the episodes becomes a little stale after a while (the team starts a con against the episode villain(s), things go south, and then either they improvise a solution or it’s revealed they already anticipated the issue), but for me the chemistry between the cast keeps the show entertaining to the end.

It’d without a doubt my most rewatched TV series, a comfort show of sorts.

I can’t say anything about the reboot (Redemption) as I’ve not got around to watch it yet.
