I thought maybe an NGO or non-profit subsidized by a gov’t (e.g. taxing ISPs or telecos) would work for stuff within a geographic region, just like allocate server space and the main benefit would be to have a knowledgeable citizenry/residents of tech stuff.
no I think it’s, um actually, only when parents tell their kids in china / s <— to indicate it’s sarcasm
maybe bring back totalitarian and use it against countries like the US? have a word that, like Huey P. Newton said regarding coining the term ‘pig’ for police, “highlights the contradiction”, in this case, between the selective usage of a word and it’s inherent meaning, none of which is understandable without contradictions from a prescriptive linguistic context
wait i have something relevant to say too…
All happy families are alike, all unhappy families are unhappy in their own way. — Anna Karenina
ah crud, don’t do this to me! wilson!!
Pure gold, I feel this way during my therapy sessions.
Yeah fair enough. They’re too busy sowing the seeds of their own destruction and can’t see the forest for the trees.
In Econ there’s opportunity cost, I think that’s what companies end up losing, the greater profit they could have made (if they were like a bit less short term oriented).
I wonder if someone could make a series of movie trailers for each republic with the executive producer being the US and having all sorts of poor takes.
Executive Producer: “No, no, we need LESS military oversight for the next one, SPEND MORE on practical explosions, the audience will love it!”
Director: “But sir, we already had half an hour of explosions, the most common criticism was about the confusing plot which was always interrupted by explosion sequences.”
Executive Producer: “We need those to keep the audience on their toes! We can’t plan explosion scenes we need to let the invisible hand of the free market decide and let us know!!”
I had no clue there were several republics kinda like France (I think?), I searched Wikipedia and it said that they are on their 6th republic, not 5th. Maybe you are off by one? Either way it’s a poor mark on the country and its governance.
Dispenser? You put like toothpaste from a tube and it’s like those soap dispensers you push to get soap?
I have a dog-shaped teddy bear which I almost need to support my arms. It has such a novel shape as a pillow, there are so many uses compared to a rectangular/square cube or tube.
A clever tea maker / mug all-in-one. I imported it from China, it’s not expensive or anything, it does use Tritan for this steeping chamber thing where it only decants at like a 45° angle. I have some food containers I use for lunch which use the same plastic and they work well, don’t get stained. Hope it doesn’t have some new kind of cancer or medical issue associated with it, I’ll update this post in ~15 years if that’s the case.
I liked the first Avatar blue people movie in 3D when I watched it.
for a prospective dev (for contributing & who is learning…) what should one look into if they wanted to add support for another markup language? like typst! or uhh pandoc so whatever markup language one writes in it can be put in the appropriate format!
