Yeah but if I hadn’t become ill or had found a well paying job or didn’t dislike the cold and hunger in those first few days when I actually ‘slept rough’ and if CBS had picked up on my marketing gimmick sooner so that a venture capitalist would come along with $millions to invest in my very innovative idea of selling dog coffee (I mean, that is genius, I bet nobody else has thought of selling dog coffee before), I would have made more than one measly million. When others fail it’s never for these reasons. It’s always laziness. Anyway I’m back to my mansion now that the health scare is over due to the phenomenal health insurance that I had throughout the whole time. And I’d like to thank every major news organisation in the Western world for boosting my story; that venture capitalist came along and it turns out that they were as impressed as expected and I’ve now made that extra mil. Bye losers.

It helps to have seen a hammer in use. But us blue collar workers are invisible to the likes of these rulers.

Depends if you’re hungry.

I’m fairly sure that’s a thing, too, lol. I went to buy a printer recently and couldn’t find a decent one in my price range because they’re all essentially leased nowadays. It seems you have to use their ink and you can only get it via monthly subscription. Even if your cartridge had ink left in it, you wouldn’t be able to print with it unless you had enough page credits. Fuck that.

Fly it high.

They’ll let you live in these than stack you one on top of the other on a container ship headed to sea and forget about you.

The contradictions in that last example.

Spy balloon found incapable of spying.

Orcocracy’s razor.

Stocks in left over black ink from all those old inkjet printers found in landfill sites increase GDP by 4pts this year as it’s revealed that adding a bit of water brings then back to liquid.

…

Turmoil in Britain this week as Nestlé refuses to let the British use water for bathing, choosing instead to sell Britain’s waterways to the highest bidder—second-hand ink manufacturers. The price increase of Nestlé shares raise GDP another 3pts.

That’s only a problem for those who demand exponential growth. And your assumptions are based on the unsustainable model of western imperialism; as China implements it’s green energy, transport, automated agriculture, and housing policies, those sectors won’t need to keep ‘growing’ as they do in capitalist states to prop up GDP. Even if it’s right that if the slowing rate of growth leads to a net GDP shrinkage, it doesn’t portend collapse.

That’s not counting the effect of BRICS+ and the BRI on interpreting GDP. You don’t need such a high GDP when you cooperate with your neighbours, when your GDP isn’t a measure of how much you bully your neighbours and oppress your foreign and domestic workforce.

Many have repeatedly and outstandingly wrongly claimed either bluntly or in what they think is ‘clever’ subtleness that China is about to collapse. Do you really want to be in that crowd when the music stops?

If it wasn’t collapsing, it wouldn’t be in the red.

Can’t condone terrorism but also very happy being silent, simply not condoning the majority of terrorism by calling it something else.

And when you catch them out, they say, ‘Yeah but they had to lay low for a bit because it wasn’t safe’.

I think it was an octopus. Just not an antisemitic one.

If it works, it’s yet another example of how China is superior to the west.

Western imperialists know that a dedicated weak backwards slum fuelled by corruption could bring down their house of cards version of a weak backwards slum fuelled by corruption.

I do believe Ukraine was made to accept the fact of defeat almost straight away. I don’t expect Hannan to comprehend that.

Shit, I thought they were just over a year apart not two days apart lol. Mayhem.

It’s either a self imposed limitation for some users and inclusivity by default, or a design-imposed limitation and exclusivity by default. Considering I spend so much of my time arguing and fighting against against exclusion and for inclusion in every other part of life, I see no reason why games shouldn’t get the same treatment.

So not building in a pause button automatically makes gameplay wildly suboptimal?
