Hah! I see the logic, but I think that happened only because the big powers backing each Korea couldn't push the proxy war to overwhelm each other either way... But then again, I could be wrong, and that could be a viable option here, I really don't know... The less buried mines on earth, the better, but when you've got 1/4 of the population of your enemy, you don't exactly have the privilege of fighting traditionally either...

Fascinating, that hadn't crossed my mind at all. The actual world police could do something probably good (stabilizing at the very least) for the situation.

But that said, I don't think I would bank on the UN for this one... It seems like Guyana would need continual military presence to dissuade Venezuela because it appears that Venezuela is doing this because Guyana was too fiscally successful over the pandemic. But I mean if the UN does long term guarding like that, then it might be a viable option...

With who's army fighting though? Guyana seems a bit too small to properly be able to defend itself from Venezuela... Unless Brazil goes full on South America police on the situation (and apparently, they might?), I don't see how this will end in anything other than Venezuela steam rolling Guyana...

The unfortunate answer to your question is very likely only because there is money to be made....

Ahhhh sheesh you definitely got me there.... In that case I'd like to revise my stance to be a bit safer and reduce it to just gluing the feathers to them using Elmer's or something safer than skin peeling tar :/

Something scary and mob actiony but that doesn't result in inevitable death.

Oh I see! That's far fancier than anything I've really ever even imagined lol i thought Louis Vuitton was designer but that would mean the designers name is just the brand... Which is interesting to see! Thank you for enlightening me!

For sure, they're just the first thing that comes to mind when I see a generic looking boot lol thanks for the tips! Definitely checking out rose anvil tonight!

Mermen, aka Taxfish

I mistook the boots as docs and the shoes are Nike... I'm layman level though, and there does appear to be a difference between designer and branding that I don't fully understand... Though it appears to be even though you may recognize the brand, the brand itself may not be designer (is that about right? You obviously know more than me, so feel free to tell me I'm wrong!)

And they have the public so disenfranchised that the public'll just go "fucking politicians" and move on with their lives instead of grabbing the torch and pitchforks and showing these assholes what accountability for politicians used to look like in the old days. Perhaps show them why we don't play by those rules anymore and why they shouldn't inspire the public to continue playing by those old rules.

Note: I am euphemistically edging towards tar and feathering more so than anything else. Anything nonlethal but severe in nature and consequence, that sort of thing.

Memes are serious fuckin bsns.

Can't have subpar memes in MY community lmao

Jokes aside, hope your memes find better traction!

History is written by the victors, and that is what a win looks like... Not saying it's deserved, just why that happened that way.

That's a fair perspective, but most people strive for as few clicks between users and their targets as possible. Forcing a user to become semi-tech-competent by sending them on a fetch quest to figure out their os, while not an inherently bad thing, does work against this overall goal....

Idk, it's like education vs service industry goal setting, that's all I'm trying to get at here lol

Edit: plus, there's no guarantee that it will remain just the big 3 for forever. There was a time before Linux, maybe we'll see a time after windows.... Unlikely, but one can dream lol

Too bad their doctrine is to take everyone else with them, instead of being as courteous as the cults that self annihilate and leave the non-followers alone.

Seriously, their own book says man was charged with taking care of the world. By their own doctrine, God is the one that will end it, not man. But they're all either power hungry greed lords trying to take Gods destiny into their own hands or idiots who don't know what's in the book they thump so hard.

Oh i get what you're pointing out now, yeah, it is kinda weird to just assume all leftists are pro-lgbtqia.

It seems like every combination of person, no matter how seemingly contradictory vibes-wise, exists in some form or another lol

Like it's weird, I am doing the same lumping pattern that I know I shouldn't be in the same breath as acknowledging that it's weird to do that pattern lol cognitive dissonance is weird when you notice it...

And we should loudly continue to compare them to those with those histories due to similarity of behavior until they change their behavior so that they will never have the chance to quietly add a similar history to their own books.

If we don't want a "gulags of Florida" chapter written in history, it's appropriate to call the behavior that would lead to one out

General left of center demonization. This person is lamenting the pattern that will likely continue that consists of things less left than communism (in this case, socialism) being treated as equally "scary" or "nefarious" as communism, in the McCarthy era Red Scare definitions of scary/nefarious (unless I'm misreading, but that seems to be what's happening here)

Tbh at this point I'm convinced articles like this are just life support trying to claw back as many Musk dick riders back into normies.

It's good work, and I think it should be done, but yeah, this is exactly what a sane person would expect to see given all the context.

It's not news to most, but to the audience that I think this sort of thing is going after, it genuinely might be news to them.

Not that this article alone would get anyone to drop their fanboy bs, but it seems like it's intended to be a tool to facilitate that. As for why it's here specifically in world news, probably in case anyone wants to use it as a facilitation tool for anyone in their lives. Can't use what you don't know exists and all that lol

I would advise fighting for equity to mean "distribution of resources to enable equal opportunity" rather than "capitalism with a diversity coating"

If you allow people to use the term incorrectly, you're allowing the term to grow/evolve into a meaning that harms the ability to accurately convey the concept you're trying to describe.

So with all that said, to respond to your question: Perhaps you've seen it used that way. That is not what equity means though.

Yeah, that makes total sense.

Most software engineers also have to actively maintain and add features to their finished project, and those aspects change a lot about how the problem can be approached.

I failed to take into account why might I have not been effected by tech debt despite occasionally creating it before commenting. Will have to make sure that filter gets a bit stronger lol
