Heartbreaking: The Worst Person You Know Just Made A Great Point

Yep, when stocks start going south, the first thing to do is lower wages/fire people and the second is heighten prices.

People shouldn’t be under the idea that problems in wall street mean the rich are becoming poor. It means the rich will be less rich and the poor will lose their jobs and suffer higher prices. The GFC was proof that wall street fucks up and the rest of the population finds out.

There were anti Trump republicans, some even voted to impeach him, but they’ve all been purged or are in the process of being purged. Because now the Republican party isn’t about an ideology as much as it is a messianic cult around Trump.

It’s unfortunate that he’s lived to be 95 and still hasn’t managed to swallow his ego and admit the Bosnian or Cambodian genocides happened. I guess the ideological blindness is just too strong.

I don’t know how you can look at a map clearly showing the aftereffects of decades of communism and blame it on capitalism. Why would east Germany vote fascist due to rampant capitalism but the rest of Germany not do that? I just don’t understand.

Destroying the subsidies that the previous governments had has made inflation worse in the short term but should improve it in the long term. He says this and people believe it, so they’re powering through the bad times awaiting the better times. In a way he’s in his honeymoon period, and some people like him better because he’s actually following through his policies instead of being all talk.

In European Portuguese it’s “Feira da Ladra”, or “Fair of the (female) Thieve”

Pretty standard DIS episode, awith fate-of-the-galaxy stakes. The action scenes are always so boring, let’s see some puzzle cracking! Also, if your Captain is constantly running point on away missions, they might be a thrill seeker. Beware the cliff edges.

It’s from a Holodeck episode, I think Crisis Point 2.

The state shouldn’t be in the business of killing people.

That’s a better interpretation, although I felt those scenes were done much better in the Inner Light.

The treknobabble on the ship trying to bring the captain back. Also their attempt to research the Tamarian language on the ship.

Or the B plot in Darmok. I wish it would have been all Picard and Dathon.

It’s rare to see a “yes, u” instead of a “no, u”.

You beg for your life like a bIHnuch!

The flu is also going strong, but people aren’t saying it still feels like 1918. I don’t know the definition of COVID-19 becoming endemic but it certainly feels like it has become that.

And any reference I hear to it is no more common or strange than a reference to the flu or some other common illness.

Just finished it yesterday, it has more bugs than I’d like, but I really enjoyed the story and puzzles, even if some were beyond my abilities (I guess I was rushing too much to check the rooms for clues). Watching The Truman Show always left me wanting more, and this really scratched that itch.

The worst bug was cutscene volume playing at 100% even if master volume was at 10%. The funniest bug was a chase sequence where the chaser got stuck and my character was running further and further away from the chase while talking as if they were next to each other. That sequence ended in the game crashing because I guess the game couldn’t position the chaser in their place for a cutscene.

I use Ecosia for the environmental aspect, not the privacy, so I’m gonna stay with it.
