I don't know, but aiming for a short runway with a wall at the end doesn't seem to work.

The more it hurts the more it shows you really care, right?

Making the best bed of what you have.

I'm thinking more along the lines of we might not be able to trust our government (and therefore military) to do the right thing, independent of who wins the election.

It would be wise to put together some type of organization (reserve militia?) to be prepared for that contingency.

It's getting to the point where I don't think dicking around on internet forums is good enough. Every time trump repeat the phrase "51st state" it gets a little more serious. We need to start organizing irl like, yesterday.

There is still the bloc. Érable-flavoured national socialism is infinitely more tolerable than submitting to american imperialism.

Assuming they have the grace to make us all citizens and allow us to vote. I'm not holding my breath.

The sub went to shit practically overnight, and it happened right around the time of the freedumb convoy. I don't think it's a coincidence.

Remember when everyone thought putin was bluffing about Ukraine? Now would be an appropriate time to learn our lesson from that.

Next thing we know, trump will be launching a special operation to 'defend' the culturally american regions of alberta. Although he won't have to do much, considering who's currently in charge of the province.

I do not understand where they are making a profit

I think you're overestimating how much money it costs to produce this stuff. Economies of scale and certain other practices in this specific industry allow retailers to sell stuff at a significant markup even when it seems like they're giving customers a heavy discount.

But even with relatively large markup percentages, the low price point means retailers have to move incredible volumes in order to make enough money to stay open. So they end up using aggressive marketing tactics to get people to come in the door and start impulsively buying stuff.

My intuition is that those shirts are simply from last season and didn't sell well enough or they've gone out of fashion. The store is using it as an opportunity to put a big 80% off sign out front and whip potential customers into a frenzy. Could also be a scheme to recover costs from online returns. But I really doubt there is anything wrong or even different about those shirts.

Did cats domesticate humans, or did Toxoplasma gondii domesticate both of us?

OP be careful, you've inadvertently spoken the sacred incantation and summoned the dreaded political content right into this very thread!

It definitely could be a hardware failure, but if the system still boots fine, it's probably not that. Based on the symptoms, I think you might have clobbered your PATH variable. This can happen when you do something like PATH=/new/path/ because the variable gets overwritten. You have to remember to preserve the existing value with PATH=$PATH:/new/path/. Don't worry, this is reversible.

The best thing to do would be to fix or temporarily remove the commands you used to set PATH in whatever profile or .rc file it's in. You can run whatever text editor you have installed by specifying the path to the executable. I don't know exactly where vim is on Fedora, but it's probably something similar to /sbin/vim or /usr/bin/vim. Keep trying locations until you find the right one. Then log out and back in and it should be fixed.

You might also be able to login as root and use the shell normally to fix the problem, depending on which file contains the faulty command. Hopefully this helps.

Maybe pay a random stranger in cash to rent a bike for you

A handsome, charming, and mysterious figure suddenly has every villainous capitalist in the country checking over their shoulder, and racing to staff their facilities with enough stooges to hold this phantom off long enough for them to load their billions into their rocket ships and flee.

Real life has become an ideology-bent spy thriller and I'm only slightly ashamed to be fully caught up in the intrigue.

from a worker's perspective

This is the opposite of what OP meant. The most exploitative boss is regarded as the best boss by their boss, whose opinion is the only one that matters under capitalism. Exploitation of workers is a necessary part of wealth creation, and landlords have innovated and streamlined the process in order to squeeze their more ethical competition out of business.

It always amazes me that French politicians have the gall (pun not intended) to even attempt stuff like this, considering the last 250 years of political context in the region.

In case you're actually, seriously asking and not just trolling, having privilege and success under capitalism does not disqualify a person from being a leftist. You can't really criticize a person for participating in a system where if you don't participate, you starve.

He's using his influence to organize the working class and advocate for collective action, which is the one tool workers have in the fight against their own exploitation. Even if you don't like him personally or don't think he's part of the working class, he is a very strong ally and has undeniably strengthened the movement.
