'Make sure you wear the hard hats, boys. The shirts can go, though, and underwear...yeah, lets skip that as well. You should all be, uh, comfortable'
Everquest was released in 1999
This seems like a really good idea, and I love that the article actually acknowledges that there are other countries in world which sometimes have good examples of how to do various things. Virtually every neighborhood should have reasonably quick/nearby access to a decent grocery store.
This has kinda been a thing since the invention of money and real estate
Solar Installer or Wind turbine installer. Manager or project manager at companies that do solar or wind power installations.
Artist who builds sculptures out of scrap metal and/or trash or recycled objects.
An updated version of 'junk yard owner', possibly refurbishing or otherwise breathing new life into objects that would normally be trashed, and selling them to new owners.
Good for them! I wish them luck, now that they managed to escape their evil empire and set out on a more positive path.
Honestly, I'm fine with the normies staying on Reddit and Twitter, while all of us 'new cool' folks explore our rebel alliance.
But Ms von der Leyen’s own political group, the Christian Democrat EPP, turned sour on it and now vehemently opposes it, claiming it will affect food security and undermine the income of farmers and disgruntle a European population focused more on jobs and their wallets.
People who just care about their monthly income are not interested in the future of humanity. Of course, that's a simplification because various farmers, land-owners, companies and industries, and old right-wing people all have their own problems with it, which generally involves: My Money vs the Future of Humanity
Based on this, I'd say that Reddit fully deserves to be banned in Europe and California, and fined into potential bankruptcy. Having deeply flawed technology that prevents them from ever being in compliance of a very serious law is no excuse.
Those graphs are quite informative, and yeah, it seems more like similar growth for both sites based on that info.
Most people really take for granted that their meal is going to obey the normal laws of space and time. Then, when something like this occurs, it's quite a shock.
I read a similar article a few weeks ago, and I think your concise summary is better than the article linked in this post.
I think Yanis goes a bit overboard with stating that capitalism kinda no longer exists, since it really is about a new group of rich people simply inserting their companies as evil middlemen who leach money off the whole system.
I'm not sure the solution has to be revolutionary or super complex. I'd think that large countries and groups of countries (e.g. USA, the EU) could implement their own mega marketplaces, leaching off much less money and avoiding the sort of corrupt BS that Amazon etc do to keep prices artificially high, and these governments could also stop allowing the mega platforms to do business in their region. Big countries want to facilitate an economy, and if private industry is proving to be too broken with their current approach, governments could step in to create more functional marketplaces that still work nicely in the internet age and don't have horrible middlemen crap dragging everything down.
