  • Ready to rumble but happier simply being better than you. Average Frenchman!

  • More.gif

  • More chagrined than anything else. Having dual citizenship with US and UK is like having one foot in the grave and another foot in the toilet sometimes.

  • Why would any such fines be capped, unless the entire point is to effectively legalise crime for the ultra rich?

  • No I remembered. It'll be really funny if it turns out America's oil-motivated sneak attack is how the giant ultimately goes back to sleep. I could see this disaster unfolding with the winding down of the military industrial complex following a massive economic collapse and the loss of status as world reserve currency, so it's not the silliest hypothetical I can cook up.

  • Christ

  • Yeah corpos don't respect consumers or norms of human dignity, they'll just do what they want more quietly if you complain. The only real solution is to break up monopolies (ideally for the last several decades).

  • From broad personal experience, anyone who often says "hail satan" is a better person than any religious fundamentalist, politician, or billionaire.

  • Just get one of those chainsaws that spins on the ground in Resident Evil

  • He really does have a rare gift for peevishness.

  • Funny is great, but not... In every situation. I don't want a funny president for the same reason I don't want a funny oncologist.

  • I remember when publicly misspelling potato or doing an enthusiastic scream was viewed as disqualifying for the dignity of public office. Nowadays you can make endless typos, speak like a mentally handicapped gangster, betray everyone you've ever made a promise to, shit your whole ass on TV, fuck kids, say you want to fuck your own kids, talk about getting away with murder (figurative and otherwise), and memorably disgrace the entire nation more often than most people take exercise.

  • You could choose to make yourself less available on certain platforms - set an away message that points to your preferred intake (call it "for urgent requests..."), and set a reminder to less frequently check on those other feeds to follow up with clients who won't be meeting you where you're at. That'd be my first idea, anyway

  • I don't know that there is a great way to manage it. Each one implicitly wants you to use their platform exclusively, yeah? You'd have to get everyone on the same page about which platform, when, and what for. If you're stuck with so many different platforms, the solution might just be firmer moderation and organisational rules

  • Weird to imagine him asking first. But yes, conservatives always understand a problem the instant it affects them personally. They just compartmentalize so well they never see it coming.

  • It is a mistake to see oneself as a mercenary in this way. We should all be the happier if objectionable jobs were harder to staff.

  • Laws for thee

  • I've been considering it, Game Changer is pretty good

  • That's been in the works in Ukraine and the EU, but that kind of production capacity takes years to build. Hopefully soonish the war profiteers can be traded for, at least, slightly fresher ones.
