Who are owned by private equity for sovereign wealth funds pushing for nothing but returns. Hence they don’t care if they sign on the line with Goebbels or enshittify their product into uselessness.

Anything to distract from the ultra wealthy taking all the gains, contributing relatively nothing to society, and everyone suffering because their greed is inexhaustible.

“centrists”

It’s sad it has to be mentioned but glad the article calls out the purity test mindset and arrogance as two reasons why a ripe youth from 2010-now has gone unfortunately more to the right than it should have. There have been many charlatans gaining followers for no purpose other than their own self-aggrandizement and ego–rather than knitting the fabric of collective needs and power together.

Gatekeepers are the opposite of big tent and historically one of the approaches has worked–and it’s not the one that often arrives with an air of superiority and performative division.

I saw this all a ton after Occupy Wall Street; new, vocal, passionate lefties who made overly-broad claims they were divisive and went unchallenged. Men, particularly were broadly and publicly denounced by such charlatans without qualifiers, criteria, though many were shoulder to shoulder with those looking to change and fix historically inequitable structures and systems. What did this do? Gave a bunch of males–many of them young and impressionable-- the message they had no place on the left since they were not a partner in fixing things but someone to “shut up and dribble” at best and at worst a target or enemy of those you might be trying to support. It’s super important that more female voices are heard, leaders chosen and that opportunity is made more equal–but these charlatans did a decade’s worth of damage before in the early 2020s a few articles finally came out against the approach that perhaps the idea that roundly bashing “men” as a category might not be the path to building a broader movement and coalition. The left went from 99% vs. the super rich oligarchs with middle america totally aligned with the occupy movement to withering away to small factions protecting and advocating for their “own” cause.

There are like 100 for the whole country. No one gets audited, statistically speaking. It’s why you’ve never learned anything about taxes from your parents or friends. They don’t know either. People pay people at HR block who don’t know about taxes either to file. No one gets in trouble because the only people who know tax laws work for the very wealthy. Or at the IRS where there are about 100 of them to 300m of us.

Lol. Congress?!? You think they would do anything to upset their corporate sponsors? They’re bought and paid for. Supreme Court bought and paid for.

Revolt is all that is left.

“remember when we even let 16 year olds browse the net? That was wild”

“Remember when we allowed anyone under 25 to browse the net? Unimaginable”

“Remember when we used to allow people who weren’t registered to one of the major political parties, and even women to browse the net?”

“Remember when we had a net?”

Everyone’s body is different but try lighter and more frequent. 3x 20 minutes. You can always push faster, more frequent once you get past “it always feels like I’m dying”, but at this point you’re trying to convince your body, “this will be a regular thing, I need to be able to do this”.

Do 3x 20 and add in walks on off days. Anything to overall make your body raise its “floor” for cardio.

Taking days off is when your body immediately tells your lungs and heart “see I knew he was kidding!”

You can go from marathon shape to having running be a struggle at old levels with 4 weeks of inactivity. Most people go faaaar longer than that without exercising and think there is something wrong with or unique to them.

Our bodies want to save energy and not waste it burning calories to keep you in shape, so regularity trumps all. Go light, go often, and slowly increase pace, duration, frequency as it feels good. Your body will respond in time.

They’ll send you paperback versions of the books you bought, right? New copies on a supported versions?

It’s not like there is any evidence that a company with such a stranglehold on a critical part of the business apparatus would then jack up prices to access, right? Right?

That is clearly two rapscallion puppies dressed in an adult dog costume.

All good if you liked it.

I didn’t like the look of the characters much in cgi(though of course Snowy has to be to make it work on most levels), found some of the action scenes unenjoyably overwrought like the early action chase scene downhill that just refuses to end like a Bond opener but without at least the reality of the stunts or explosions, I also hated the airplane scene with Haddock and overall his treatment being minimized to comic relief.

Stop twisting the knife, God. Tintin was so crushing, like JarJar for Lucas.

Retailers will eliminate search, product sort and filters, etc.

They will dumb it down to happy value meal, the generous ones may allow ala carte ordering, a nod to legacy web purchasing. Imagine allowing consumers to choose their own products?!? How dated and unprofitable.

With most people nearly illiterate, as designed, they won’t complain.

The rest of the fence wasn’t putting up with that shit. Nature starting to heal in that backyard…

Hershey bars can’t even be sold in Europe as chocolate because they have even the menial standard of 10% cocoa to label a product as chocolate. Unfortunately, vegetable oil, rubber, micro plastics and godfuckingknowswhatelse they put into their shit products doesn’t even meet that.
