  • Why is The New York Times so afraid of Zohran Mamdani?

    Jump

  • Not "maybe". Countries were screwed over by communists, people murdered in the thousands with famines that killed millions. People excusing communism - either the Soviet Union or China are delusional.

  • "Communism" as it was in history should 100% invoke that reaction. The dude is not a communist tho.

  • YSK that apart from not having a car and voting, the single greatest thing you can do for the climate is simply eating less red meat.

    Jump

  • They're getting downvotes for "not like it matters". Every little bit matters and "limit eating red meat" helps too. You don't need to completely stop.

    Also the claim sounds weird to people who don't know facts about shipping and how horrific it is for the environment. Most people think "plane bad" not "ship bad".

  • Not really, check out their claim on google. Ships are polluting a shitton. They have huge engines that run on the crappiest fuel known to man. It's so bad, that they have to switch to diesel by law when comming close to the shore / port so as to meet any semblence of environmental law. Something like the top 10 ships pollute more than all cars on Earth combined (exhaust gasses, not tire wear / brake dust).

  • Who'll vote on it though? It'll just be vetoed.

  • Not how it works. Euro isn't just a straight upgrade for many countries. See Croatia for a recent example - a lot of inflation and increased prices after adoption.

  • Poland doesn't have the euro and can basically stall forever with no consequences. What are they going to do, throw em out? For having their own currency?

  • Gog doesn't have this. They specifically market it that you get to download a binary install and keep the game forever.

  • Genies lie, they are malicious. They want to screw you over but are compelled to grant you those.

  • Micro-retirement

    Jump

  • Not unless you do it the right way, i.e. the way it is done in Europe. It is basically mandatory to take vacation days every year up to a specific number. Unlimited PTO makes it so you get extra. I also have a policy of a burnout vacation - if I notice you are burned out you get sent to a mandatory paid vacation. You get to refuse once, as a hangover excuse or "I'm fine, really". But it I notice it again after refusal, you get a choice. Either you go to vacation, or you get fired. It doesn't go into a tally of "I need to talk to this guy, he took 80 days off this year", I treat it as if they'd worked. Oh, and 100% paid sick leave instead of a percentage, all they need is to talk to their doctor and they put in that they are sick in the system.

    The agreement about time off is you get the 25 mandated by the law, anytime, without any request beforehand, as long as it won't make the sun explode. Instead of people requesting time off, I request time "on", if I need to work with them, have them in a meeting or train someone.

    My "off the contract" ask to them is "I'll try to treat you as fair as I can, and ask you to do the same in return". I did get screwed over by an employee once, but so far I can still maintain this policy

  • It is a genie. That's exactly what it means when she says "replace all the water in the world with milk". Genies hate people. They are malicious spirits that have been imprisoned by sorcerrers to serve them and their wishes. The only thing is that it probably isn't going to work because they are not omnipotent and have limited power usually. Enough to "fulfill a wish" of a greedy dude and fuck them over in the process, but not enough to destroy the universe.

  • I just watched the episode where she has the biggest issues with allying to some faction that kept attacking them. Then she gets "a talking to" from the first officer and the security officer going "bruh we just got our asses kicked, this aint the alpha quadrant we need this". So the solution is to ally themselves with the first other faction they come across - a deus ex machina fleet of previously unknown oppressors of the faction that kept attacking them.

    Apparently the dealbreaker is "the oppressors who enslaved an entire race trying to assassinate the leaders of the other faction they used to enslave"

    Prime suggestion all the way. They really tried to make it "the sensible choice" in the early seasons, and they failed so hard at it that it's rolled over from "funny" to "eyeroll" again
