thanks for the guide!

Yeah, thanks for clarifying.

Ah I didn’t know lard only came from pigs. I thought it was a general descriptor of like solid fats.

there is no practical benefit to adding fats to bullets right? can anyone comment?

I thought maybe an NGO or non-profit subsidized by a gov’t (e.g. taxing ISPs or telecos) would work for stuff within a geographic region, just like allocate server space and the main benefit would be to have a knowledgeable citizenry/residents of tech stuff.

I appreciate the candid response (though I’m not from your server).

Here’s hoping you don’t anything annoying come your way.

hey im a noob with music stuff, why would this be preferable to soulseek?

no I think it’s, um actually, only when parents tell their kids in china / s <— to indicate it’s sarcasm

maybe bring back totalitarian and use it against countries like the US? have a word that, like Huey P. Newton said regarding coining the term ‘pig’ for police, “highlights the contradiction”, in this case, between the selective usage of a word and it’s inherent meaning, none of which is understandable without contradictions from a prescriptive linguistic context

wait i have something relevant to say too…

All happy families are alike, all unhappy families are unhappy in their own way. — Anna Karenina

Yeah fair enough. They’re too busy sowing the seeds of their own destruction and can’t see the forest for the trees.

In Econ there’s opportunity cost, I think that’s what companies end up losing, the greater profit they could have made (if they were like a bit less short term oriented).

I wonder if someone could make a series of movie trailers for each republic with the executive producer being the US and having all sorts of poor takes.

Executive Producer: “No, no, we need LESS military oversight for the next one, SPEND MORE on practical explosions, the audience will love it!”
Director: “But sir, we already had half an hour of explosions, the most common criticism was about the confusing plot which was always interrupted by explosion sequences.”
Executive Producer: “We need those to keep the audience on their toes! We can’t plan explosion scenes we need to let the invisible hand of the free market decide and let us know!!”

I had no clue there were several republics kinda like France (I think?), I searched Wikipedia and it said that they are on their 6th republic, not 5th. Maybe you are off by one? Either way it’s a poor mark on the country and its governance.

I don’t understand the comparison to Cuba, do you mind explaining?

I think the poster was being sarcastic, in agreement with you.

Ah ok yeah that gets pretty annoying. When people diagnose others I think that’s problematic too. You only know a sliver of what they thought suitable to share, which isn’t necessarily indicative of anything…

I see a Clinical Psychologist, PhD and 2 PostDoc’s. We call our sessions therapy, wouldn’t that be an ok way to refer to something as therapy?

Are you referring to ‘trauma-dumping’ or when people share their negative experiences en masse? When I think therapy speak I think people being supportive, I’m probably misunderstanding, an example would help!
