Oh yes, I remember the great mandate dear leader won on the back of the outcry by the electorate to rename gulfs both here at home and around the world. 🙄

Look, the CEOs already have the fifth cheapest yacht chef available on their payroll, what are they supposed to do? Source the caviar themselves?

I don’t remember all of the differences, but I think you’re conflating copyright, patent, and trademark here. Software patents should almost not be a thing, but copyright and trademark should still exist.

I have this on my Honda Fit for fuck’s sake.

Maybe you aren’t far enough along in the lessons.

Every currency devalues, that’s what inflation is.

Are they really being replaced with AI or is the curriculum just finished?

Nah, they add new AI slop constantly.

You’ll learn something but if you truly want to learn a language there are far more efficient ways. Duolingo is a practice tool at best

What are some better ways?

You can tell all of the new content is written by AI. It suuuuuuucks.

Not cool

Oh, I don’t want you to become like Afghanistan either. Nearly every insurgent is the product of a fucking tragedy.

I actually don’t know what I’d do as an American if Trump started a war with Canada.

They won’t need to. A war with Canada will be our Ukraine. It’ll make Afghanistan and Iraq look like walks in the park.

Remember when he briefly tried his hand at a solo career and he was on stage on SNL going “uh huh, yeah! COME WITH ME!!!” over a Led Zeppelin song and that was supposed to be music? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

Yup my parents showed me decades worth of libertarian propaganda without even realizing – even in retrospect – that is what it was.

I can’t really blame them because like you’re saying we’re experts at it.

Fuck you four eyes

If you look at what many consider to be the golden age

Emphasis mine

I didn’t even say I consider it a golden age, because I don’t.

but it’s worse now than it was in the – what I’m now calling the first – gilded age.

The gilded age was not in the 1950s. Also, gilded age doesn’t mean golden age.

I think we’ve hit the end of productive conversation between the two of us on this subject

Agreed. Maybe next time read and understand some of the responses?

This is the first post you haven’t been praising the 1950s as a better time for workers.

Isn’t at all, but you’re reading whatever you want into my posts. So keep on keeping on. 👍

I get that you recently read some Marx or some shit, but corporations aren’t just capitalism. They have charters. They were put into existence via law. It is possible to still be “under capitalism” and restructure the laws. Full on gay space communism isn’t required to make any progress on any issue.

I don’t understand what you’re trying to prove here to be honest. Of course there’s been shitty behavior all along. This is America. It’s a country founded by slave owners that wanted to be free. (Carlin)

My point is simple: corporations are a made-up concept and one of the main things people are supposed to get in the deal to allow them to exist in the first place is efficient allocation and utilization of human resources.

It seems to me they are admitting that they cannot do that. In which case, the deal should be renegotiated.

I thought that’s what the podcasts are for.
