I once saw a survey done in Seattle asking people whether they would prefer to eat feces raw or deep-fried. Based on the result of that survey, I have concluded that people in Seattle like deep-fried feces and are actively choosing to eat it.
*cheapest and the best
Bong Joon-ho said it best. We live in one country called capitalism.
Essentially the goal is this: to use a giant electromagnetic launch track to accelerate a hypersonic aircraft to Mach 1.6. The aircraft would then separate from the track, ignite its engine and enter near space at seven times the speed of sound.
Does no one read the article anymore before commenting? I’m not responding to all the comments here since it’s clearly a waste of my time, but every single one of the concerns that people mention in this thread so far has been acknowledged in the article already.
Market analysts said that there is no relief as of yet from this difficult period. They urged the government to play a role as a mediator, so companies can map out more specific investment plans by clearing away any lingering uncertainties.
“The government is advised to stand at the forefront in discussing subsidy-related issues with its U.S. counterparts, so local chipmakers and battery firms’ uncertainties can be alleviated,
Give more money please lol. These global companies just keep a train of endless grift going.
At the time of his death, Mr Barnett had been in Charleston for legal interviews linked to that case.
Last week, he gave a formal deposition in which he was questioned by Boeing’s lawyers, before being cross-examined by his own counsel.
He had been due to undergo further questioning on Saturday. When he did not appear, enquiries were made at his hotel.
He was subsequently found dead in his truck in the hotel car park.
We’re not paying Dalai Lama to stay quiet. Have him say “to the last Ukrainian” immediately!
Now think about how many “birds” you’ve seen that were walking or resting instead of flying. The system takes cost-effectiveness into consideration.
There goes Gaza…
For the last couple of years, a few North Korean vloggers – Song-Ah, YuMi, and Un-A – launched their YouTube channels. These three vloggers gave a glimpse of their everyday lives, from what they eat to their hobbies to their travels. They also have videos that showcase the infrastructures in North Korea, such as the Hwaseong Apartment Complex, Pyongyang Metro, and Kim Il Sung Square.
In June 2023, however, YouTube announced that it had banned these YouTube channels “to comply with US sanctions and trade compliance laws, including those related to North Korea.” The videos disappeared for a while but many of these have been reuploaded by other YouTube users.
It doesn’t feel fair to label North Korea “secretive” when the rest of the world bans them from even using Youtube and even hides their videos.
Makes sense. It’s communism when tanks don’t run over people, so the inverse must be true as well.
Settling is an act of violence
In my early 30s. I think your age is the cutoff for when the circuses were good and original.
For younger Gen Zs and Alphas, it’s nothing but remakes of what we got when we were kids. Pokemon, Harry Potter, and Minecraft are what my nieces and nephews are still into because companies barely invest in new IPs anymore. Even the snack isle look the same as it did 15 years ago, with food companies not investing in new products since the corporations consolidated and there’s no competition anymore.
It’s not that I don’t like the new thing now that I’m older, it truly feels like there’s less new things since late stage captured markets deemed it inefficient.
Stop saying it like it’s intentional. They just forgot to close the valve!
Quite possible. Maybe I am the old out of touch person who’s yelling at everything without reason sometimes. Now that you mention it, I’ll admit that the camerawork was decent at least.
I don’t know if anyone saw the Superbowl but it was pathetic. Not the game itself but the production value behind it considering that it is the biggest event of the year for America.
The halftime show was cheaply done, commercials looked cheap, the Apple music logo that was repeatedly shown looked like it was thrown together by an intern in about two hours.
It was the same for other “big productions” from the imperial core in the past year such as Kohaku for example. I’m predicting that 2024 Eurovision will look like crap too. We’re already not getting bread but the circuses also look terrible.
In Capital. A Critique of Political Economy. Volume IV: A Freudian Collaboration.
It’s an unholy book that you should be glad that you’ve never read. It came to me in a dream!
If this is the best example you can come up with, it is fairly unconvincing that any mainstream political will be restricted.
