15 Million Merits is about being unable to turn away from the advertisements, the cyclist can't even close their eyes too long except during sleep.
The advertising in Common people is literally taking over a person's body to advertise to the people around them without their knowledge just cutting off their consciousness for a broadcast of a targeted ad.
The only sane choice when idiots are destroying the planet and blaming you for not being happy about the party, is to go insane and try and kill the polluters.
I could see there being an issue if you stopped flow of urine in your actual penis but that is controlled by inner sphincter muscles in the bladder not your urethra.
Perhaps his penis is not the only underdeveloped part of his urinary tract. Maybe his bladder sphincters are also underdeveloped and can't hold back a full bladder.
There is a novel "Microserfs" many years back and in it if I recall all the guys at MS drove Ford Taurus because at some point Gates drove one. So all the little serfs wanted to be like him.
He could have finished Clinton's term then had two more consecutive terms. How different could it have been to have Gore do something about climate change for 10 years?
That would have been around the time where it could have actually been possible to stop the world temp from going up 1-2 degrees, now 1-2 degrees is almost guaranteed and 3-4 might happen.
Even if they have enough Dems in theory then the conservative Democrats have doubts or reservations about voting for something so Manchin or Sinema get in the way. If somehow they get past those ratfuckers then the Parliamentarian can step in to rain on the progressive parade.
The Dems always have something up their sleeve to keep them from doing things they don't really want to do. I wouldn't put it past them to get in power and just yell Squirrel as an excuse to not bring in policies that have 80-90% approval across all parties.
I used to go to the climbing gym many years ago. A few things I found helped a lot.
-Get a finger tension exercise device to strengthen ability to hold with just your finger tips.
-start with bouldering if your local gym has a bouldering area, it lets you learn the positioning that will let you distribute your weight across your limbs without having to harness up or need a belayer.
-it isn't always about upper body strength, your legs do a lot more than you think because they don't tire as much as your arms will.
The company I work for just introduced an AI order system and they said it's 95% correct when taking orders.
So there's a 5% chance that the item is incorrect in either product or quantity. Some of the orders are for 4,000 pieces, so that's quite a lot of incorrect items on an order.
And there's five people that take orders and one person that builds the orders (me). If they want to cut down how many people are taking orders, are they going to move them over to building orders or are they just going to can them?
Also, their time is going to now be wasted comparing the order the customer sends and the order the system kicks out to see if there's anything wrong with it. Barely any of the customers use the proper product codes. They just use their terms or their own companies product code for that item.
Product called a flex connector might be called that by 50% of the customers but others call it a BX connector and some call it an AC cable connector.
If I hire these campaign managers, they say I can take money from rich people, put advertising on tv channels and Facebook through their friends marketing firm and totally get elected with poll driven messaging through their other friends polling firms. The AI created billboards and mailers totally move independent voters towards weaksauce slogans and drive the vote towards... not showing up on voting day.
It gets to -35C where I live during winter. I have an unheated garage and park outside while at work, I have an EV and definitely see a drop in range but it isn't large. I can still drive around 300 km on a fully charged battery while using heat.
I can get more range by being more sparing with my heat, if I just use my heated seats and steering wheel I can keep the heat on less and get about 50 extra kms. My trips are pretty short so a fully changed battery lasts me 3 weeks during summer and 2.5 weeks during during winter.
I move fast, it is more of a methodical shuffle. I take my time to make sure I check take the right product since there are lots of letters and numbers similar in the products. I shuffle through the multipage orders because they don't sort orders by location so I have to go back and forth on the pages instead of going back and forth in the warehouse.
