Ah, that explains a lot: the name is cursed

And why is that? Perhaps because productivity rises while salaries stagnated? Because the 1% bleed the rest dry? Because all laws and tax codes are written for the wealthy?

No, it’s because of immigrants (somehow)! /s

I didn’t mean a specific state, I just wanted to imply that terrorists backed by a state - with the money and connections that encompasses - would have the means to do this.

I currently don’t see any state that would wish to cripple the internet. That would hurt indiscriminately.

Perhaps in the future, before a planned attack, to sow chaos. So China or Russia perhaps.

Perhaps North Korea, but I don’t think they have the power or knowledge to do something like that and China would get mad.

In case someone misinterpreted the meme: these are all single points of failure that can take down large parts of the internet.

If a rouge state manages to take down any of these for a more then trivial amount of time, we would suffer enormous amount of financial damage

A lot of historical figures get mentioned by contemporary writing of that period- the more important that person is the more information can generally be found. Yet Jesus who, even if you ignore the miracles, should have been an important spiritual leader wasn’t mentioned.

There is next to no evidence of Jesus Christ unless you count Christian sources, which have a bit of a bias.

The Romans for example were big on book keeping, yet no mention of Jesus can be found.

The existence of Jesus is possible, but far from certain - of course that’s something Christians don’t like to hear and the Christian church actively fights.

Yeah, a friend of mine did something similar to me once. Called me ugly in a roundabout way. I don’t think she even noticed. I can’t even blame her - it’s true after all. Still hurts.

Congratulations, it’s a goth!

Breaks are unpaid because that was another way to minimize what workers have to be paid.

Businesses always look for ways to pay their employees less and only change practices when forced.

Without strong unions and support from politicians things tend to get worse and worse.

Too bad that we have neither.

Oh it trickles down. Just not money, but at least it’s warm and golden 🙏

Won’t somebody think of the shareholders!

Every time someone pirates a game, a shareholder is a little bit further away from their third private jet!

How can you sleep at night?!?

Never watched it. Was she canonically gay? That would have been quite progressive for the time.

And don’t forget how one bakery could pay their employees only the bare minimum, cut corners where they can and use the profit to undercut the ‘good’ bakery until the ‘good’ bakery goes bankrupt and the ‘bad’ bakery can simply be a local monopoly and raise prices as they like.

It’s working. Is it working well? We don’t know.

Yeah, put the fridge in the shade of a solar panel. I don’t believe it would work well otherwise

Foxes are already domesticated. A Russian scientist did it to test what is needed for domestication.

I’m just screaming at the abyss for staring back. Rude.

Haven’t you heard? That was a lie to stop children from masturbating: if you do it too much you go blind.

… like weebs and other weebs

You know, in Germany we learn English since elementary school.
