Delightful! The second half took a turn. I will say though, was not expecting the tooth fairy to catch strays hah
Then why are you trying to avoid him, trying to purposefully not make eye contact or look at him, leaving abruptly when he talks to you…etc. Sounds like you’re doing your best to give him the impression you’re not interested
The research cost recovery line they often yap about is bullshit itself though. The overwhelming majority of pharma research like the one involved here is subsidized through taxpayer dollars already, and they get tax incentives and write offs for failed research. If we had a sane, working government we could nationalize all life saving medications funded by public money while still allowing the inventors to enjoy some (reasonable) economic benefits from the research
The Doctor has killed many an enemy when they’ve made it clear they would not change and would not stop.
The video visuals were phenomenal. Great callbacks to 70s psychadelia pop and 80s synth pop visuals. The standout for me though was the inclusion of the brass instruments. Absolutely fantastic way to punch up the energy in the song, especially the hook where her voice is blended with the brass in the background and you can’t tell if it’s her making the sounds or the instruments
My man eating
That’s not a problem with having ethics rules though. That’s a problem with enforcement
How is implementing ethics rules and enforcement bad? How can it come back to “bite” them?
I’ve found Thunder to be a great replacement with some modern, gesture and UX friendly enhancements. Raccoon for Lemmy is pure magic and I highly recommend it as well, but the UX and UI are more modern and has less of that RIF, old-school forum thread scroller vibe.
Us economy is driven by the military industrial complex. Taxpayer funded defense “aid” is given to countries, only for them to turn around and buy american weapons with said aid, thus funneling the money into private pockets. Legislature “pork” was/is notorious for kickbacks to local manufacturing plants for various military equipment. The entire scheme of “global defense” that the US has pushed over the last 70 years has been driven by the desire to monopolize military production and sales on a global scale. Sanctions are imposed on countries which otherwise agree ideologically with what the US professes are its ideals because those countries purchase arms from the US competitors, while notably hostile countries like Saudia Arabia are propped up bc they are good for business. Israel aid is given to be spent on US arms. The US doesn’t give a shit how countries use their arms, as long as they’re buying. Without the military industrial complex, much of the domestic economy would likewise grind to a halt. Hell, the US military is the biggest domestic employer. The system is simply not set up for a massive paradigm shift like that, though imo it’s going to have to happen eventually because the current, unsustainable system is reaching it’s last leg and starting to topple over.
Gotta say, I’ve been enjoying this saga. I’m curious to see how it wraps up
Pour one out for a real one. She’s bangin’ angels now.
Do you get off on having the absolute worst takes on every single thread, or are you legitimately that stupid?
Then what’s the point of this thread? Whether he likes you or not makes no difference in terms of available outcomes. Sorry, not trying to be combative, just legitimately don’t understand why even care if there’s nothing you plan to do about it.
