That is a fun fact!

I was slow to warm up to The Prisoner when I started watching it, but The Schizoid Man, episode 5, won me over. What a fantastic premise and execution.

Good article - however, it's a bit sloppy around conflating renewable energy generation and "green economy". At the top he states that increased renewables is leading to increase in CO2 emissions, but every example given is related to carbon offsetsl, carbon credit, and carbon accounting schemes in capitalism used to greenwash actual fossil fuel growth. Which, in my view, is not dependent on renewables production.

Anyway, the problem is capitalism and O&G taking advantage of carbon schemes to increase profits, rather than real work towards degrowth and renewables replacing O&G use.

Aren't all anti-communist activities money laundering schemes?

This is a good summary. To simplify/describe it slightly differently, the definitions of capitalism and communism and socialism decribe the relationships between workers and the value of the work that they do.

Under capitalism, owners own the business and employ workers who are paid wages. The value of the products or services that the workers make is more than they are paid - and this extra value produced (profit) goes back to the owner. Thus, you end up with two classes of people, the workers/wage laborers (proletariat in communist jargon), and the owners (bourgeoisie in communist jargon).

In socialism, the workers own the businesses, and so the profit goes back to them instead of to the non-working owners. Thus in socialism, there is only the one class, the workers, and the bourgeoisie class has been removed.

This is extremely simplified, but I think describes the overall work and value relationships under the two systems.

I hope this helps too.

This suggests to me there there might be bones inside the plaster?

If you can find it "Busytown" is a great kids show set on the world of Richard Scarry

I am in a similar situation in that I often feel like I'm doing things wrong and could be reprimanded at any time. This is not how work is supposed to be structured, even by ghouls. Good managers give clear expectations, and regular, informal feedback. This actually makes their jobs better, because when people are comfortable they don't hide problems - which is an action that can lead to huge failures later on.

So, I think what you're experiencing is common, and is a byproduct of poor management. I have had good managers and the difference in work culture is astounding. One can be confident at work with good management.

Otherwise, you just have to assume you're doing a good job, or you can actually just ask for clearer definition of goals and tasks, which might help.

A rule that you have to have a certain word in a title or comment? That's the silliest idea I've ever heard. Main.

I doubt it

I got into designing crosswords for a while. It was pretty fun to manually lay out a sheet of answers and think up clues for them. Also, reading theory.

Use the index

This is exactly what the us does in its foreign policy. Everyone else must disarm, but the us is allowed to build up military might and create bases along their adversaries' borders.

You'd better be over 60 lbs to use that steam deck. And don't even think about putting rocks in your pockets to seem heavier because little girl, that'll be like huffin 5 maccanudos.

He also puts the D

More like 5 years at the rate were going

Peep show?

Are they getting rid of old.reddit???

That's the only thing that makes the site readable. Damn.
