You have not eaten beans the right way until you have eaten FABADA.

What makes FABADA so great is that it’s also a hex code for a very sexy pink.

Monty Python.

That’s part for the course for the Catholics. For them their dogma is over the law. You gotta take what you can from these guys.
A pedo enabler who happens to advocate for the poor is still not good, but also not as bad as a fascist-enabler, pro-rich, pedo enabler.

I can get the pokéball, but mounts in games are older than pokémon. That one makes no sense.

They need to make mining drones mandatory, too. Humans have no business being in holes. They are not their holes, they do not belong in them.
I’m looking at you, spelunkers.

It’s not a dichotomy. Capitalism inevitably leads to oligarchy, and oligarchies are just authoritarianism rich people being the ones opressing the people. Both China and Russia ended up as oligarchies too, even though they started claiming to be ‘communist’.

A way to prevent authoritarianism is the division of powers, but that only works until the enemies of the people work together to take over all divided powers.

The only system that has proven to work in the public’s best interest so far is social democracy. But even that is hanging by a thread, as it requires higher levels of public education and better control over corruption to maintain.

Yeah. Tankies always forget you can’t have socialism without democracy, and either no government or a government that is strictly from the bottom up, and fascists gladly play along with that facade as it works in their interests.

“Authoritarian communism” is an oxymoron.

And not an “emphasis” kind of oxymoron like “bittersweet” or “impossible solution”, or a “poetic” kind like “living dead”.
An “absolutely impossible” kind of oxymoron. like “married bachelor” or “squared circle”.

Apparently, deboning your meat before eating it is not “manly”. You have to chew the bones, like an “alpha wolf” or something.

It’s the other way around.

X is a “if you build it, they will come” situation. They were already around, they were just too cowardly to come out of the woodwork into the open.

They sure love their fantasy way more than reality.

There are banks that will generate a pin for every transaction that is not using the physical credit card or associated phone, or that is over a certain amount, requiring you to carry the phone at all times.

Nah. Someone would make up some convoluted and confusing template, pass it to Trump as “freedom dates”, and he’s sign it without reading.

And then head right back to the golf course to mooch even more tax dollars.

They are only looking into exile because they fear the backlash from murder.

I don’t mean in the UK. He probably has done some of that in the US too.

He could flee and seek political asylum or something. The US has extradition treaties with the UK since 2003, but they are pretty much ignoring all laws and treaties anyway.

The moment someone starts going all “anti-woke” you know they’ve got something to hide and they are trying to get acquainted with the pardon-dealing industry.

He thinks it’s “stolen” because he also thought he had bought it and thus owned it.

Everyone with half a brain knows that enshitification and pandering to CEObro echo chambers result in the platform losing large amounts of users or even dying.

Everyone knows what’s left to do after nobody does anything. Yet nobody is doing that either.

That idiot CEO is doing idiot CEO things.

Everyone knows that if he keeps bowing down to Musk’s pressure and enshitificating the platform, people will leave for greener pastures as soon as there’s an enticing alternative like they did with X.

CEOs surround themselves with the most conceited and naive of all echo chambers.
They live in an imaginary world in which their backward opinions work better than what has been proven to work time and time again by every research ever done on any subject. They will one day wake up to a blue sky, claim it’s actually pink with green polka dots, and blame “the woke agenda” or some such nonsense when they are obviously proven wrong.

The closest analogy I’ve ever heard for what modern CEOs have become is “Like a bunch of Naked Emperors jerking each other off while shitting all over everyone below them”. As accurate as disgusting.

he way the US “recycles” has been mostly sending them away to countries who just toss them into the sea.

In EU countries that won’t fly as easily. But governments still look the other way and put that responsibility on NGOs who often lie about how much they recycle. They claim “70%”, but that’s 70% of what’s put in the container paid by the city. There’s still way too much stuff tossed into the normal trash or out in the open.
