Dictatorships can be very efficient, tons of time saved by no meetings, delays, stakeholders, rights, debate or considerations needed.

It provided a much-needed lift...

I'll catch you up; the only objection that ever existed was that it was a regressive (flat tax with very low income threshold) and inefficient way to fund what almost no one disagreed needed more funding. It was always about the "how".

Instead of listening to the actual concerns, anyone who questioned it was labeled anti-education, anti-art and/or other inaccurate labels by stupid people who couldn't comprehend that there are some critical pieces of adult life past "picking you 'side' and agreeing with it no matter what."

Zero surprise it was also incompetently distributed.

I had completely forgotten Lenovo bought Motorola from Google some 10 years ago. Honestly haven't seen a Motorola phone in at least that long ...

If Wallace Shawn and Billy Crystal don't act in TPB it's never the instant classic it was and would have been immediately forgotten. It's a B movie at best without them, though Ewles is carrying a lot. As it was, thank God they were both in it.

Actual education with regular rigorous driver testing. Ruthless revocation of driving privileges for violations. Incarceration for serious offense, no outs for the rich. Fines proportionate to income.

That's it. In 3 years the culture would be completely different.

Joker's eyes looking like that? If you don't know what it looks like when a quiet, calm one gets pushed over the line like that? You do not want any of that noise.

Dort should be suspended. Fucking clown ass clown forever will now be cheap shot dort. Of all the guys you could pull that sophomoric bullshit on, Joker? That's where punks are too comfortable and don't fear consequences .

What if joker twists his ankle on that trip attempt and is out for the rest of the season? What if it's the beginning of career affecting injuries? League should be severe with that punishment, the dude is an all-timer. People will watch his games in 50 years.

Definitely safe organization for youth, like cowering to a bigoted, felonious rapist thug and demonstrating to all these boys how to shred your principles. They just keep finding new ways to suck.

No one is talking about him because he retired 15 years ago and missed ~4 of his last 6 seasons, which is almost like retiring about 20 years ago.

He didn't win a ring and retired 20 years ago. Are there other players who get regular love with those rough stats?

Don't project your obsession as how other people think.

The nice thing is, it makes it easy to identify anyone who doesn't publicly stay they won't do it now and get fired by Hesgeth, if they don't do that, then they are absolutely selling their LLM models and data to trump without any safety or security restrictions as that drunk Hesgeth and Trump made clear this week.

Open ai? Gemeni? Not a peep from them about wanting to keep your rights safe and no complaints from Hesgeth means they sold your constitutional rights off.

 

Surely this will be the team where Harden isn't a toxic, defense avoiding premadonnna?

What is CLE doing?

 

What are the grizz doing?

App used to automatically load posts from what I recall but no longer seems to even under "all" categories so it's certainly not a "tiny communities/no new posts” thing. If I scroll back to the top of "all" and drag down to refresh, new content loads

Boost/Lemmy/android/pixel8a but seems like a server issues unless I've missed a setting somewhere?

 

Right wing media and think tanks consistently blitz the news and press when tax increases are discussed, threatened or, in the recnent instance of Mamdani, the new more progressive mayor of NY, that progressive taxation policy drives the rich to leave.

I wanted to share this article about the UK media outlets misleading, inaccurate and over representation of coverage here of the identical issue as the same schlock fear mongering without any data is done there as in the US. I assume the playbook is the same in Canada, Australia and elsewhere but would be interested to hear from those better informed.

Coordinated, well funded attacks on critical democratic infrastructure are not coincidence globally, they are the playbook.

As someone >90th percentile in height and >75th percentile in weight for the US, I've found in the last 5 years I now no longer fit into most "Large" size clothing and need to buy more "Medium" sized clothing. I haven't lost/gained weight nor shrunk(that I'm aware of). Statistically, numerically and culturally this seems strange.

Anyone else find sizes that "should" or "used to" fit have morphed and you now shop different sizes where your body size hasn't changed?

OregonLive is known for gating links after the fact, so here's the important bit for folks living under the Sinclair or Nexstar umbrellas:

"If you live in a broadcast region run by the Sinclair or Nexstar media companies, you can only watch the full Tuesday episode of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” on Hulu (free trial) streaming the day after it airs, or you can watch Jimmy Kimmel’s opening monologue and more clips from the show on YouTube shortly after it airs (this should be some time after 8:30 p.m. Pacific Time on Tuesday)."

I assume the company, regardless of its home nation, would issues new shares for the new market and the income from equity issued would be added to the overall corporate balance sheet.

I ask; isn't this essentially, for current shareholders, a dilution? While opening new markets is generally positive for growth, existing shareholders get no stake in the new issued shares right? Existing shares they have don't gain in value at all from the price of another trade/exchange value right? Are there share classes where maybe new issuance would actually make them increase in value?

Own shares in a foreign market that I think will expand to the US soon and wanted to make sure I understood impact.
