just heard a podcast ad for amazon prime saying it causes āinvoluntary deal squealsā followed by a categorization of different kinds of customer grunts and squeals according to product. not making this up
now where did I leave my hammer and sickle
in the case of Honduras, a military coup installed a far right government which proceeded to loot the country in various ways, including through privatization. approving charter cities was one of these. so, they can get territory through corruption. they would probably want to keep acquiring territory in the same way they got some in the first place.
the subtext seems to be about them invading their neighbors, but itās hard for me to imagine them getting the resources for that. itās really, really, really expensive to outright annex territory and idk how they could do it without the support of an actual country
why do so many awful tech companies have rabbit in their names
fondly remembering replying to these types of people with screenshots from the wikipedia page on affinity fraud. they really hated that
thereās not a lot of ambiguity in what the novels are getting at, so no offense but this line of argument is not worth engaging directly. but I will point out that I didnāt say what pratchettās views were. part of why people donāt look askance at these books is that his other work is at odds with the realpolitik message Iām pointing out. I canāt and I donāt draw conclusions about his ārealā views based on the vimes novels
yeah thatās the conservative spirit right there
I donāt think people get how reactionary the captain vimes books are. look at whatās happening in them. in plain english, you have a cop and his band of good apples + adorably bad apples saving the ass of a dictator again and again, because sometimes you just need a clever steady hand in charge. Pratchett was informed by liberal humanist values, and thereās plenty of great stuff about tolerance in there. but the foundation of any vimes novel is an institutionalist urge to bootlicking. it just has to be the right boot
I guess if weāre doing the rise of fascism again itās inevitable that weāre doing fucking austro-hungarian empire discourse again. somehow the 1940s returned
I have thought about this guy every day since I saw this post
this one really got to me. very upsetting
yud is the uniquely capable person in this area. anyone who even sets foot in it should make groveling to him a high priority. these people are disaster monkeys because they arenāt doing that
I get that this is some sort of attempt at an election related Epic Comeback, but it doesnāt make sense
it doesnāt do either of those things
you know a company is very serious when it uses game balance terminology to describe its HR practices. āIām sorry, weāre going to have to nerf your salaryā
āspoons and katanasā has got to be the most baby brained analogy. are you a child
absolutely superb posting, thank you
if you know who this is this is the funniest fucking headline
you guys arenāt gonna like to hear this, but I love the taste of boot. I love to lick every inch of the boot. god yes, every inch has to be glistening and wet. I have to make sure to get all of the gravel out of the treads. the point is Iām thorough. anyway none of you understand normal people
