“Life is a bitter mystery. We can’t give everything away for free. It’s not that kind of country.”

Tautology School Degree. Why not?

I have this but for bicycles and ropes exclusively. First one is out, so I’m rope guy I guess

The hard part about a simple bicycle isn’t actually the bicycle, it’s smooth road. If you don’t have that you have to invent the mountainbike and that one’s not even a 100 years old.

The best theory I’ve heard so far is that the UK never had a revolution or something similar, it’s always just concessions to the working class just before they just guillotine everyone - historically. As such, feminism in the UK sprouted largely not from some sort of class based consciousness but from like proto-girlboss bullshit of aristocratic women, as such, the underlying theme isn’t liberation, it’s keeping your place in the hierarchy.

I feel like as soon in the past as the late 80s this is an entirely uncontroversial statement and should there be somebody to look back on it in a 100 years, the period of roughly 1990 to 2020 where the US pretended to care about democracy is gonna be the weird blip

All you’d get with starting with an earlier Arma than 3 is losing quality of life features and gaining eurojank

3 days loss: 5lbs (2,5k.)

I suppose if you did do this and this only this you would be so horribly dehydrated after 3 days that might ring true

how’s this explain germany, which abstained?

Imagine the reverse scenario happening and how that’d play out

It’s not an improvement over the previous meme but I take any chance I get to post this image

am I getting old? I got like 5 devices around that can take photos that are not a phone on account of before phones used to be able to do that you had devices for it

Honestly good litmus test, if you got a Thinkpad that means somebody seems to listen to IT on what to buy which does bode sort of well for a tech job

I don’t think this means “Etiquette (please and thank you)”, I think this means “Etiquette (look at this rube using his crab fork to grab pasta, what a yokel)”

I do know a few young people are tech/programming wizards but “generally tech savy” people seem to be declining. It’s either you’re really into it or barely know anything outside popular apps.

I feel like we also got a new kind of guy, the tech-forward digital illiterate. They run most of everything.

No one here likes the coal generators. […]so even obviously good paths will face pushback, like from entire regions whose jobs are in the coal industry.

This in itself is contradictory but even despite that, there’s 20.000 people left with jobs in the coal industry. You could give everyone over like the age of 50 their pension as if they worked till the regular pension age and then re-train everybody else with very generous benefits for the interrim time of like 5 years and it would be orders of magnitude cheaper than keeping that system rolling.
