This cultural change was largely driven by WWI. By finding a way to also get women to work they could much more efficiently contribute to the war effort. At the same time, expanding recently-industralised capitalism is looking to sell more stuff to more people. Coincidentally that got women involved in new and what were previously exclusively “male” pursuits.

Inflation is a weird thing to measure against, considering the price of electricity should be… included in inflation.

With your level of competence, I would go Fedora. Little bit of CLI fiddling, but 99% just works. GNOME / KDE / Plasma are available preinstalled if you want a specific DE.

I been gaming on it with three screens for many years, absolutely no issues.

I thought privatised healthcare in America was a massive bankrupting money-siphoning poor-quality over-expensive socially murdering unjustified hot mess.

Thank god it’s only perceived as such

Over 12% of deaths in Gaza are children 9 or under

Contrast this with <1% of deaths being under 18 in the Russia-Ukraine war. Even if every capable child was a soldier, it still wouldn’t excuse Israel. An evil beyond evils.

I adore Python (and flask), but I’ll be honest, I would never use it to host an actually efficient server. Python is unparalleled for prototyping and small fun projects, it’s not great for running a >100 user production webserver. Hosting costs alone will just be way more than necessary.

Of course, history tells us that every single time you make a space where leftists aren’t welcome, it becomes a 100% nazi space in moments. Then the libs start to wonder why their feed becomes nothing but nazi shit.

As a CEO, I immediately realise selling every single person one or more superfluous unnecessary 2.5 tonne metal boxes with engines will make me a shitton more money (despite being enormously inefficient and destroys all life on Earth). Therefore I do that, make everyone’s lives worse, and fuck over the planet.

Huh, trains? Yeah they may insanely more efficient, raise quality of life, save the planet, go faster, cheaper to run, easy to maintain, and the cheapest form of transport once you factor in externalised costs. But there’s no profit in trains - building those only makes sense if you’re doing societal good. Not my thing.

Now implement some more subsidies and government road building for my new ELECTRIC 2.5 tonne metal boxes!

What you soon realise, is that jobs become 1000% more enjoyable when you don’t need them at all.

Imagine any job, but you can basically just say no to anything you don’t like, and if anyone is an asshole about it, you can just leave and experience no financial repercussions. If you feel like it, you can just flip off your boss, everyone in the room, steal the stationery and then cartwheel out the door. Yep, even just working is better when you’re wealthy.

They didn’t need to march against Germany immediately, but perhaps you might wonder why Britain and France didn’t immediately then say yes to an anti-nazi alliance.

This article is just misinformation, there’s zero plausible deniability here. You can’t do a few seconds research on this without realising Israel has killed hundreds of journalists in Gaza alone since October 7th. And yet they refuse to mention this at all.

Cheers for that. Sadly, I can’t find any info from UKHSA that backs it up either. Not sure how they’re getting any rolling totals there except Measles and Strep A, which they only claim a .33 correlation for anyway. I tried really hard to find UKHSA Pertussis stats but the only ones I found were absolutely not a 0.96 correlation with the same period for Measles on the dashboard.

It genuinely could just be me being shit at finding this stuff, but I still can’t correlate.

I’d be interested in the actual sources. I can’t find a source in the million tweet thread (other than “I had the data”). I can’t personally find any source/dataset myself that even slightly agrees with the heatmaps here. Their one actual source - Scottish wastewater viral load graphs, shows the seasonal behaviour and lack of synchronicity we’d typically expect.

Am I just being silly and missin’ it? Because this is a fascinating phenomenon if actually true.

The Committee of New and Exciting Slurs spent a long time on this one, how dare you impugn its authority?!

Struggle session feels silly here. I think we can give limited, critical support to genuine Demsocs as being the better of the shit options, without believing they’ll be good in all respects.

Mamdani significantly > Cuomo? Heck yeah. Actual socialist significantly > Mamdani? Also heck yeah.

Even more than my sadness we didn’t reach that kind of world (yet?), is my jealousy at having so much good reason to actually hope for a brighter future like this.

This makes it sound like we are somewhat powerless. That we can only sit back and be ready for a potential split in the ruling class, which may not even happen for lifetimes.

It may or may not be true, but I can’t say it makes me feel hopeful.

This is why yu-gi-oh in the past 15 years SUCKS to play with people who are really into it. Fuck XY summons, fuck Synchro, fuck your seven samurai, fuck your deck milling, fuck your optimised bullshit chain of bullshit. It is not fun for me to sit here 15 minutes while you do a chain of made up twattery.

If I ever want to enjoy a yu-gi-oh game, then I have to agree with my opponent to completely limit play to just fun/simple card effects, like flip effects, a few fun trap cards, or even the frog deck isn’t too crazy. If a card or its effect takes more than two sentences to explain to me, it shouldn’t be allowed.

I adore this game in all the dumbest ways. I bought it on sale for ~£2/copy and bought one for all of my friends. It’s ultimate jank.

I empathise with the frustration, and it’s enraging that these people can’t get the help they need.

Sadly, we do live in a world where, even just talking about Muslims in Palestine, millions of people are in serious shit. I would guess subs like these get tons of posts of this kind. Much as I understand the desire to scream at the world through every channel to fucking do something material, I also don’t think you can expect every community to turn into a fundraising one just because the cause is overwhelmingly important.
