Try The Expression? C’mon, why are you still doing this?
[Harry says,] I’m at death’s door, bloated, a goner. And still… [he sighs] Does the longing ever stop?
Alcohol raises testosterone levels, especially in men, [Klaasje] says matter-of-factly. The levels remain elevated after inebriation ends and the pain begins. You seek comfort. It’s only natural.
Gold doesn’t mean much after you’ve purchased everything you can at The Shop. Sure you can tip Llyod, (and you should!) and now play Jetty Boot for a small fee. But I’d like there to be a few more ways to spend it....
It’s good to see you, I must go, I know I look a fright Anyway my eyes are not accustomed to this light And my shoes are not accustomed to this hard concrete So I must go back to my room and make my day complete
Countin’ flowers on the wall That don’t bother me at all Playin’ solitaire ‘til dawn with a deck of 51 Smokin’ cigarettes and watchin’ Captain Kangaroo Now don’t tell me, I’ve nothin’ to do
Yes. This. Because something else will rise in LMG’s place. Because other companies will see what happened and say we cannot let that happen here, because we don’t want a salted desert where our offices are. Because we don’t want our company to be a synonym for a fallen tower.
If abuse of employees led to business collapses, then we wouldn’t have edifices like Ubisoft who swim in their lucre while still perpetuating sex abuse rings among the upper management who take their choice of hot office clerks.
A company of a hundred employees getting razed over a scandal would indeed serve to spare tens of thousands of jobs more and allow developers to develop in peace without getting harassed by their management.
According to Forbes? Of course is the fault of the impoverished they didn’t take personal responsibility. Forbes is a magazine for persons with stock portfolios.
Population means more labor and more consumption as well. For all of human history before thr industrial age, labor shortages were dire.
The problems that come with overpopulation are pollution and shortages of specific resources. No this is about unchecked capitalism focusing all the resources to a tiny elite class. Even more concentrated than the wealth in France, 1789.
Marx points out the unregulated economy will always pull capital to the top. So how do we prevent the government from its fate of getting captured by the bourgeoisie?
Yep. Nick Hanauer’s done activism including TED talks pointing how ethical capitalism has become impossible what with regulatory capture and stable longer-term business models failing to compete with exploitative short-term models… and that we proletariat aren’t going to stand for our state of perpetual precarity for much longer.
There’s a pretty good take about how the thing that made Harry Potter the big superfad was the marketability, that you can show circular glasses and a lightning-bolt and everyone gets it. (Here we go! Verilybitchie on YouTube)
This is the thing that got Warner on board and willing to invest millions (in late 1990s dollars) to start not just the movie, but the sequels.
While Rowling’s conservative values become evident in the movie (behaviors done by antagonists to show they’re baddos is condoned when done by protagonists, elf slavery is good, etc.) is sometimes forgiven in other series when the author doesn’t use their gains to support scary fascist movements that want to genocide people.
In my experience, mental health issues are epidemic. The only question is if someone has been assessed, and then had a professional admit to them they have a diagnosis. Mind you, it’s hard to be healthy, and most people are still functional (as much as our late-state capitalist society will let them) but we noticed that mental illness was epidemic in the 1990s, likely due to major societal shifts in the industrial age: We’re used to having more of a social support system than we do. So I suspect that we’re all mad as hatters, and it’s intergenerational.
It would explode generally, and disperse bits of the core all about. Congrats! You have a dirty bomb, and all the physicists in other countries will laugh at you. (See the DPRK tests in the aughts)
This is why we invented the fat man configuration, which then powers the Teller-Ulam configuration in most hydrogen bombs.
Remember that the demon core and reflectors were lab bits used for the development of the atomic bomb configurations. Little Boy was named in the convention of the Tallboy earthquake bomb, and was a gun design that shot the core with enough force to prevent dispersal before complete fission, and Fat Man evenly compressed the core in all directions, again with enough force to prevent dispersal before complete fission.
Early concepts of X-Ray Laser ABM systems developed for the Strategic Defense Initiative worked similar to this, in which an atomic bomb would provide the light to feed a laser directed at enemy ballistic missiles. Since we didn’t want to send nukes up into orbit (which would break treaties against OWPs) we’d have to pop them up via a launch vehicle, probably as large as ICBMs themselves. (Wikipedia)
My experience is that when someone discovered they need certain civil rights but don’t have them, often staring down thr barrels of police service pistols, then yes, they give all the flying fucks in the universe about being supported.
This is one of those reasons that Leopards Ate My Face is a known trope and community. Sadly, the ones who empathize already have their share of leopard teeth marked scars.
Given I and many people I know are not going to survive genocide in the US, if ever it goes full post-Wannsee, I have little patience for anyone who does not stand at least against the transnational white power movement (aka the white Christian nationalist movement). That includes even conservatives who wish the GOP would less extreme like in the Nixon and Reagan years. That train was always going to inevitably lead to the political crisis in the US, today.
