Also depending on what you do the results can be virtually unnoticeable for months or years and may never lead to anything tangible.

Occasionally they throw in a "Frunch" as well just to keep historians on their toes.

I hate it when people send emails that could have just been all-hands meetings.

I read through that whole thing. What is the demand? It's just general hate against the trump administration? I'm all in favor but unless the strike has specific legal actionable demands what is the point? Even under the "demands" section of their FAQ it lists a bunch of vague "good" things that they want (all of which I'm in favor of) but says it won't get into specifics until later.

You do the strike, it panics the ruling class, and then what? There's nothing they've been informed of that they can do. No line that tells them "you can put an end to this if you do XYZ". Nothing to tell the people whether the strike succeeded or failed. What will that get? A bunch of people who conclude that the strike didn't work and they need food so they go back to their jobs. Next time the strike comes around, even if it has demands this time, the obvious thought is that it didn't work last time so why would it work this time and distrust in the people and political ideology that started this strike in the first place.

In my opinion, a movement like this is defined exclusively by their policies and demands. Without those it's just people throwing a tantrum.

Well we don't have large sea mammals that roam our streets here in America so it's never been a huge issue. I mean 20 mph seems excessive really considering their size.

Hygiene, beauty, and medicine. All products with literally pennies worth of ingredients charging hundreds to thousands of times what they cost to make.

Medicine has the excuse of going to research at least. But we all know that system is broken.

I mean, dude clearly had a unique mind. Not necessarily smart or dumb, but something that made him tick also led him to commit (one of) the most popular acts of murder in American history.

To add to this, morality can be entirely subjective, but yeah, of course if I see someone kicking puppies in the street I'll think: "That's intrinsically morally wrong." Before I try to play in the space of "there's no true morality and their perspective is as valid as mine."

If my subjective morality says that slavery is wrong, I don't care what yours says. If you try to keep slaves in the society I live in as well I want you kicked out and ostracized.

It's semantics. The difference between an llm and "asking" wikipedia a knowledge question is that the llm will "answer" you with predictive text. Both things contain more knowledge than you do, as in they have answers to more trivia and test questions than you ever will.

Government cheese had a shit ton of oil and less "cheese" im pretty sure. Delicious, and calorie dense for sure.

 

Do you just pronounce it like "Travises" like we do colloquially? Or is there some way to do it.
