Yet another signal of the sad state of affairs is that you probably genuinely think we're "on the brink" and not well over the cliff, Wile E.-style. Buildings burned during leftist protests (whether or not leftists actually s

Not quite. Focusing on your anus when clenching is a good way to develop hemorrhoids.

There were rumors indicating that they were working on the AVP for almost a decade before it was announced. With Apple, rumors have less to do with an imminent release and more to do with marketing, particularly to investors: such gossip

There's at least one manga series focused on teaching secondary-level maths. It's a bit dry but gets the job done as an introduction. For something a bit more... specific and involved, there's Cipher Academy, a shonen series

That's how it used to be (and the vast majority of early content is indeed lost). Most boards were auto-archived starting in the mid/late 2010s, though, with many archives being searchable. Some even allow ghost posting.

/r9k/ is such a weird situation, because its original incarnation prided itself on being an intellectual bastion on the site. The robot meant that you couldn't meme so easily; you had to attempt to write something substantial

And you don't even need to go that far. Off-topic posts could result in a swift 3-day ban. There were even words and phrases that could get you autobanned the second you hit submit.

Considering that the people posting this "creative irreverence" were the same guys calling you a "stupid f*gg*t n*gger piece of sh*t" on Halo 2/3 and CS when they got noscoped from across the map or whatever, "

Bodybuilding.com's misc board was essentially the same sort of raunchy teen hangout as /b/, sans the porn. It wasn't anything goes, but a lot did, and of course you were dealing with the kinds of meatheads (said lovingly

This is a great example of a strawman argument. I didn't say anything about teams, or "employees paid solely to post on social media". You injected those details, because you think that they make the idea of an astroturf camp

Depending on who you're talking to, none of those are realistic prospects anyway. Your borrowing rate will be crap, no matter what, because of your age/credit history/place of residence/skin color (and, if you really nee

That's fine, but "Brexit voters were generally irrational or misinformed" does not change the fact that this particular case features Brexiters who voted cynically for an outcome that they were assured would happen by the ver

"still make revenue close to what they earned on their job by selling art." Read more closely.

I mean, even that's something of a misconception. Let's start with an axiom: there are enough people and resources, both locally and universally, to provide every human being with enough to eat every day and a safe place to sleep

Department stores. I think the strategy was different. Big box focus on driving down prices by working with the cheapest suppliers they can get away with. IIUC Sears in particular was more vertically-integrated, and focused more on in-house

No, they definitely sell you what they want you to buy, not necessarily what you want to buy. Demand is an input, but not a determinant, of what gets stocked. The calculus ultimately determining what gets stocked happens far away from the s

The problem is that the big corporate stores end up making the town poorer. They siphon money out of the community, undercut local businesses, and turn over control of a tax-producing plot of land to a corporate office out-of-state (country

Agreed. I'd go so far as to say that the compensation/job quality balance has been out-of-wack for years. It has never been about skill, either, but leverage. And even "unskilled" workers can conjure leverage by creating

I'm trying to figure out what you mean. Experts forecast Brexit would hurt the financial sector, Northerners said they were cool with that, the forecast was wrong, Northerners were upset. Nothing about that sounds illogical. Vindictive

Lower skill doesn't necessarily need to be low pay. It's a policy decision. Ultimately, you're determining the unit value of labor vis a vis other labor. Maybe trash people and burger-flippers working late nights and early mo

If Biden is anything to go by, it's not really a given that a Dem president will necessarily undo Trump's international policy. He didn't get back in the negotiation room with Iran, he didn't back out of the Afghanistan

If you're being honest with yourself, not even close. Maybe if you Frankenstein Blender for asset creation and Godot/Unity for scripting, but it would be just as much of a monster as Shelley's.

Yes, the hard part is convincing owners to part with their wealth in order to fund better pay. This is partly because they themselves are wrapped up in a massive obligatory apparatus; call it "the financialization of the economy."
