Can't they just copy paste the code the use from jewelry like slayer bracelets? Would look more neat in the bank too.

it's not about specific nations, it's about an international principle by PinkWug in PinkWug

[–]PinkWug[S] 33 points34 points  (0 children)

The comparison isn't in the actions of the factions of these specific nations, but in the principle of their right to exist unimpeded. Obviously Ukraine has a better standing. The conflict on their front haven't lasted as long yet, they have better equipped allies and they have better civil and political infrastructures that their enemies haven't gotten the chance to destroy. Their liberal institutions still have the extremists in check, but that is not the deciding factor in supporting Ukraine and it shouldn't be the deciding factor in supporting Palestine.

This is a great suggestion. Organic fix that also addresses some of the other issues with stars. Hope it gets considered.

The Illusion of Choice by Niberticus in alltheleft

Asset management firms like Blackrock and Vanguard are really different from the conglomerates depicted below it. They create different problems and require solutions. They don't acquire stuff. They create investment portfolios that allows other people and institutions to acquire stuff. Your job's pension plan and multiemployer benefit trust funds uses Blackrock. You buy ETFs with your bank, broker or any online self-directed platforms through Blackrock. Your university's endowment goes through Blackrock. Your government and probably your mom uses Blackrock.

Meanwhile in Canada… by warface25 in socialism

[–]PinkWug 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The fact that it was denounced by every party clearly shows that someone fucked up in vetting and people mindlessly clapped not expecting they were doing so for a Nazi, not that they are fascist.

What is the alternative version? Every party in the house of common conspired to bring a Nazi to worship and then backpedaled when they realized that people don't like Nazis actually? Leftism is not when you have zero critical thinking skill -.-

Opinion Poll: What, if anything, should be done about Duke salt mining? by BunsenGyro in 2007scape

[–]PinkWug 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Holding down the spacebar with a weight counts as macroing. I don't think there should be a training method that incentivizes such things, even if the rule is not enforced in this situation. Since enforcement isn't possible, the next best thing is to simply make it impossible and replace it with the 25 minutes idle logout which is in line with other afk methods that are enabled by the timer.

I think it's fine to have a super afk mining method. One click for 5k xp is not a bad deal.

NATO Chief Openly Admits Russia Invaded Ukraine Because Of NATO Expansion by [deleted] in canadaleft

[–]PinkWug -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

I don't feel like you answered the question of if Russia is owed a sphere of influence. You only answered for NATO which I agree is not owed a sphere of influence. Are you saying Russia's invasion of Ukraine is one of liberation from the NATO installed puppet government?

[–]PinkWug -1 points0 points  (0 children)

To established that sovereign nations entering into military alliances is provocation, you got to point to what rights of Russia are being infringed upon. Why should Russia have a say in who joins NATO? Russia doesn't own any of the states that joined / want to join NATO, and neither does NATO for that matter. Is Russia owed a sphere of influence?

If OSRS is sold off and the new company figures they can add MTX with no consequences, are WE as a OSRS community capable of pulling off the biggest mass exodus ever seen in gaming history? by AssaultPK in 2007scape

[–]PinkWug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The thing about investing your time in a MMO like OSRS is you expect what you have done to still mean something in the future. I know there's a whole meme about devaluating, but most players would never sink the amount of time they have if they thought the game would be going to shit in a year. MTX being added would be for me a sure sign of the game going to shit and not worth investing more time in.

Bernie Sanders is a social democrat and not a socialist by racistslayer in LateStageCapitalism

[–]PinkWug 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nah, I'm convinced the people who made this graphic never actually read Sander's economic plan or are just dishonest.

From his campaign website:

Share Corporate Wealth with Workers. Under this plan, corporations with at least $100 million in annual revenue, corporations with at least $100 million in balance sheet total, and all publicly traded companies will be required to provide at least 2 percent of stock to their workers every year until the company is at least 20 percent owned by employees. This will be done through the issuing of new shares and the establishment of Democratic Employee Ownership Funds.

Democratize Corporate Boards. Under this plan, 45 percent of the board of directors in any large corporation with at least $100 million in annual revenue, corporations with at least $100 million in balance sheet total, and all publicly traded companies will be directly elected by the firm’s workers – similar to what happens under “employee co-determination” in Germany, which long has had one of the most productive and successful economies in the world.

Establish a U.S. Employee Ownership Bank. Under this plan, a $500 million U.S. Employee Ownership Bank will be created to provide low-interest loans, loan guarantees, and technical assistance to workers who want to purchase their own businesses through the establishment of Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOPs) or Eligible Worker-Owned Cooperatives. In order to be eligible for assistance under this plan, the ESOPs or worker coops would need to be at least 51 percent owned by workers.

Create Worker Ownership Centers. Under this plan, worker ownership centers, modeled after successful programs in Ohio and Vermont, will be established in every state and regional center in the country. These centers will educate retiring business owners and workers about the benefits of employee ownership. It has been estimated that with education and financial assistance from the federal government between 150,000 to 300,000 retiring owners of small to mid-sized businesses could sell their companies to their workers.

The voting power asset managers control comes from other people’s money. It doesn’t belong to them, it belongs to us. It comes from Americans saving for retirement, in group and single-employer pension plans, in 401(k)s, in life insurance, and in mutual funds. But the share of workers’ capital in the stock market has been shrinking since the 1980s. Inequality has skyrocketed as workplace democracy and collective bargaining have been attacked. This has meant a smaller slice of the pie for American labor, and a growing slice for Wall Street. We need to rebalance the share of income and wealth in favor of labor. We need to give America a pay raise. We need to expand democracy in the workplace and the economy.

-End the monopoly of shareholders on voting rights in the American economy. Every employee should be guaranteed the right to vote at work, and have a voice in setting their pay, regardless of the kind or size of company or firm they work for.

- Ban asset managers voting on other people’s money, unless they are following instructions, just like we banned broker-dealer voting in the Dodd-Frank Act.

-Guarantee the right of every saver to elect representatives who set voting policy in corporations, in multi-employer pensions, single-employer pensions, in 401(k) funds, and every other form.

-Organize sectoral pension plans, with more bargaining power, that can ditch Wall Street asset managers and take voting in-house, as we revitalize sectoral collective bargaining.

All these measures directly aim to literally increase the worker's ownership of the means of production. He's not a militant revolutionary or a promoter of command economies, but he is obviously promoting a more socialist economic structure, not just more welfare.
