Poor folks getting theirs is an option but this also fits the pattern of russian hybrid warfare, right?

Yeah I thought it was monopsony but my autocorrect gave me that incorrect spelling and I didn’t bother to double check.

Actual farmers are usually held hostage by the agro-giants who buy their product. In most markets there’s a Monoposony - like a monopoly but a single buyer who can set prices and terms, rather than a single seller.

Industry behavior is driven by these companies who have all the power. They leave farmers with all of the risk and take all the profit for themselves.

Crucifix.

This is correct. The look is referred to as “mar-a-lago face” and it fits in the long tradition of extreme elite modification to the head, like artificial cranial deformation.

In case anyone was curious, the character is 酒, jiǔ in mandarin, meaning alcohol. Unsurprisingly.

This is extra funny because not only is the gameplay shit on purpose, it’s shit on purpose as a criticism of capitalism.

Monopoly is supposed to be frustrating as a reflection of how frustrating life is under capitalism, and here comes capitalism to sell an even more annoying version full of popups and money grabs.

The death of satire is a well with no end.

We don’t have this problem in Australia, where a sandwich is narrowly understood as being between two slices of bread cut from a loaf.

If it’s on a bread roll it’s not a sandwich it’s a roll. If it’s on a burger bun it’s not a sandwich it’s a burger. A sub is not a sandwich, it’s a sub. A hot dog cannot be considered a sandwich, nor could a cake or anything else that’s clearly not a sandwich.

One time I was trying to work out if the people at the next table were Australian. It was a crowded cafe so I was having trouble hearing them.

Then luckily one of them said, “Aw fuck I was fucking fucked eh?” and removed all doubt.

I have a marbled rye

It’s also important to remember that non-violence serves the interest of entrenched power. The state is at its core a violence-control structure. When people excersize the power of violence in their own interests, the state must reassert it’s dominion or risk collapse.

Non-violent requests can be accommodated without elites feeling like their ill-gotten power is threatened. But it’s often the violent demands that scare them into doing so.

a unique quality to the feeling of it’s drive

I have to admit I’m skeptical, and not just because it sounds written by a marketing team.

Things like the subjective feeling of something are strongly socially determined. When we’re told something is fancy or high quality we have a different and better experience of that thing.

As humans it’s rarely possible to separate our experience of a thing from our judgements of the people and identities we associate with it.

Lust and gluttony don’t need a month, they’ve got everything figured out. Sloth couldn’t care. Wrath and greed already rule the world. And envy is sad cat face about everything

Greens and pointier browns, the greens were incredible, but I always prefer green olives.

When I worked at a fair trade store we had these Palestinian olives that were so damn good. Every morning I’d open a jar for customers to sample, eat olives till I made myself sick, then do it again the next day. Good times.

Not being able to unpin email chains unless you change it to non-threaded replies, select all, unpin, then go back to threaded replies like a civilized lifeform. Otherwise it just repins the chain when it refreshes.

Our office also uses teams phones which still don’t have a way to show missed calls. We literally cannot call people back if we don’t get to the med room phone in time.

It’s not an accusation, it was a question.

I don’t have strong feelings about AI art, I just enjoy going over the tiny details that makes it look so AI-y. That’s why I commented instead of searching - I was hoping for discussion more than I wanted an answer.

Your detailed response was the kind of thing I was hoping for. I just could’ve done without the unnecessary defensiveness, but otherwise thanks!

This is AI though right? Not real kitties.

The white and black blur in between the cats is clearly trying to be a tail but the color and placement are wrong. The pile in the top right doesn’t make sense, the stairs leading to a square door set at an angle from the stairs is wrong, and the building to the left of that makes no sense either. Plus the overly rich texture of the stairs

This list is very silly.

Not just because the meanings are off for many of them and “very” is fun to use sometimes, but because you need multiple replacement options for the different contexts of common adjectives. It would’ve been more helpful to provide 4-5 options for 25-30 words.

But it’s not meant to be helpful, it’s not a YSK, it’s just an ad for some proofreading company.

The rich stealing hasn’t been considered a crime for some time now.
