It's really funny that de-escalatory strikes are real but also the only strikes that are called de-escalatory officially are always escalatory.

I wonder if Chinese skyscraper-building factories will succeed unlike Japan's which fell off after the 90s

tactical nuke

Total meme category. The bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were "strategic" bombings using "tactical" yields according to post-war terminology.

I honestly don't know. A majority of Americans don't support a war with Iran, but that doesn't matter. A supermajority might disapprove of the nuke, but that also wouldn't matter. Obviously the public opinion will depend on the pretext, but the public opinion just never matters.

Can you get a PO box?

No, the average American has always viewed the Soviet Union as just Russia, and uses the two terms interchangeably. This is even funnier when you consider that Soviet Ukraine quite literally had its own representative in the UN, but of course the average American also knows nothing about the UN.

One of the funniest (and understudied) linguistic phenomena has got to be characters gaining varying degrees of sentience in order to assist in the writing process. Null Magical Girl was right, the cognitive revolution was the magical girl revolution.

China's "underconsumption problem" will finally be solved by increasing the cost of goods by a few percent lol

 

yeonmi-park In America, self-censorship has become so ubiquitous that the ruling class does not even need to marshal state resources to suppress speech that opposes the ruling class's interests

New Molchat Doma dropped lea-w

 

After facing the flak on the job reservation bill, the Karnataka government is now planning to increase the working hours of IT employees to 14 hours a day from the current 10, triggering opposition from IT sector unions. The proposal to amend the Karnataka Shops and Commercial Establishment Act to facilitate 14-hour working day was presented in a meeting called by the labour department with various stakeholders in the industry. The representatives of the Karnataka State IT/ITeS Employees Union (KITU) have already met with labour minister Santosh Lad and raised their concerns over the move.

The proposed new bill ‘Karnataka Shops and Commercial Establishments (Amendment) Bill 2024’ attempts to normalise a 14-hour work day. The existing act only allows a maximum of 10 hours work per day including overtime, which has been completely lifted in the current amendment.

IT sector unions have come out in public in protest against the move, calling it 'inhuman’, that will have implications on 2 million workers in the state. "It will facilitate the IT/ITES companies to extend the daily hours of work indefinitely. This amendment will allow the companies to go for a two shift system instead of the currently existing three shift system and one-third of the workforce will be thrown out from their employment. During the meeting, KITU pointed out the studies on the health impact of extended working hours among the IT employees," said Suhas Adiga, general secretary of KITU.

According to a KCCI report, 45 per cent of employees in the IT sector are facing mental health issues such as depression and 55 per cent facing physical health impacts. Increasing working hours will further aggravate this situation. A WHO-ILO study says increased working hours will lead to an estimated 35 per cent higher risk of death by stroke and 17 per cent higher risk of dying from ischemic heart disease, the union said.
