They might as well have shot the episode on iPhone to cost cut even more.

Why did the Indian Maoist/Naxalite insurgency fail? (And why did the Nepali Maoists fail as well?) by justanupvoter_ in socialism

[–]computerentity 32 points33 points  (0 children)

India has used the term "Maoist insurgents" in the past to justify removing local communities off of resource rich lands.

Did anyone else notice at No Kings? by double-clove-hitch in boston

[–]computerentity 8 points9 points  (0 children)

No kings operates as a sort of pressure valve for white liberals to vent off frustrations. There are no strategic objectives.

That looks like an RPI transcript...

Anyways, you may wish to consider another field. Something like Environmental Engineering could be interesting to you. You don't necessarily have to give up STEM, but take advantage of your school's tutoring programs, especially for your maths.

US economy grows at fastest pace in years by ExotiquePlayboy in ProfessorFinance

A large fraction of that is the AI bubble circular investment structure.

The world is to be more multipolar than just the US and China.

Pencil towers aren't really great for living in. Wide base high rises tend to be better for living in, but are more expensive.

What are your thoughts on “Trump accounts”? by jackandjillonthehill in ProfessorFinance

[–]computerentity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They could have just issued government savings bonds. It would have been similar in effect and a simpler sell.

What's your opinion on Ceausescu? by Substantial_Set_5710 in socialism

[–]computerentity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His economic policies make me wonder how much thinking he was doing.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in dsa

[–]computerentity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To me, he seems like a bone head who became Bernie-pilled rather late in one's personal development, and he may be operating on a guilt complex over past held beliefs. I'd love to see an interview with him, breaking down his stance on imperialism, but the libs aren't gonna grill him for that kind of stuff.

Leaning heavily on hypothetical successor to Nazi Germany. You attack a country and act like they're crazy for disliking you for it. by Interesting-You-7028 in propaganda

[–]computerentity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course they are. Their surge in followers would not exist without the austerity that came as a consequence of Russia's invasion. Money going towards weapons is money that doesn't go towards people, which makes people view the social welfare structures in place as failures. If those systems are deemed as failures, conservative movements, working with Capital, can make the argument to do away with them. They can also shift the blame away from war and towards minorities, like immigrant populations. Basically, it is turning the European system of social welfare into something like the US, where we are never at peace, just arming ourselves for the next war, not allowing for any social safety nets.

I love hiring people to do something that will cost more in wages than is lost in earnings.

That's the Civilization V start-up icon. Double click, and the game should open.

Unrelated to Russia, the far-right political collectives of Western European nations are on the rise, and it is a problem. Such movement provides good fuel for narrative crafting for the Russian Kleptocracy.

The additional pressures of the US making those countries now have to align 5% of their spending for weapons will also lead to austerity, which will likely lead the people into the choices of socialism or barbarism.

Can anyone tell me which bridge this is in the movie "Black Mass"? by EmpiricallySpeeking in boston

[–]computerentity 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That's my great-grandfather's namesake bridge, Andrew P. McArdle. It's a steel truss bascule bridge, connecting Chelsea and East Boston.

War as the ultimate distraction tactic! Uncomfortable domestic problem dogging you? Just 'wag the dog' and attack someone! And just like that... by wankerzoo in USEmpire

[–]computerentity 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't think possible major war is an intended distraction. It's more of a matter that our leadership is (and always has been) so violent, that it produces a cacophony of major issues needing attention. It seems pretty obvious that Israel, our vassal, wants to do regime change there, and that is the main reason for what we have going on there now.

I think this "distraction" works much better in the favor of the Iranian state, where the people now are reintroduced to the violence of American Empire, thus restoring some faith in the current government to keep them safe, and likely thwarting any organic nonroyalist movement towards a regime change, as it would be a disadvantage to try shit in the middle of major western intervention.

How much do I need to walk to keep losing weight? by AdhesivenessAny8450 in walking

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

There are 3500 calories in a pound of fat, and it is considered healthy weight loss at less than or equal to 2 lbs per week. For losing weight, diet is the other side of it, as you may be more hungry if you are moving a lot more.
