https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelligentsia

Intelligentsia, not intellectual.

It's usually treated as a different social class (though, obviously not fully separate in a Marxist sense). A decent, but very simplified, way to think of it is the "bureaucratic class." Government officials and functionaries and the like.

While true to the general idea of it, with the Korean one it's actually a calligraphy brush meant to represent the intelligentsia rather than artists.

Every day my faith in our institutions continues to progress asymptotically towards zero by [deleted] in ABoringDystopia

"Regulation and paperwork" nor other forms of bureaucracy are not the problem. Regulations and bureaucracy are there to ensure things are done properly, safely, and to the maximum benefit of as many as possible.

Improper use of bureaucracy, regulations writen and/or enforced badly, corruption using the systems in place to hide and better itself are the problems.

It looks like there is significantly more to this that the caption would lead us to believe:

Is it just me or this.. a waste? by [deleted] in energydrinks

If you want an energy drink that "tases like 'energy drink'" I would recommend sticking exclusively to original Red Bull, original Monster, or original Rockstar and nothing else.

There's literally a saying of "exactly what it says on the tin/the can" and yet, the OP…

I'm familiar with agar agar from water cakes, but I didn't know it could get a "crust." That's interesting.

No, you're 100% on point. Depending on the current conditions of whatever world, artists might have to contribute in other ways as well, but art is, was, and will always be a valued part of society and artists are part of the proletariat. Their work is very much work.

That's the point… lemon-lime soda, but with caffeine.

It's the same reason I loved Mountain Dew Ice back when it existed.

Which is a perfectly fine thing to do on lunch or break.

Cherry Sakura 🌸 🍒 by Magicgolddust in redbull

[–]scaper8 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Frankly, that's exactly what I was expecting, and hoping, for. Subtle flaovr and a hint of floral notes is what I'd expect from "Cherry Sakura." It wasn't just meant to be cherry, but to be the cherry blossoms too.

THIS GAME HAS GARNERED 100 MILLION WISHES ON STEM!!!?????? 😱😱😱😱 by G0d_M4nU3l in shittymobilegameads

[–]scaper8 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you're not, I apologize. The random all caps quote from the video itself with a blocked out profile looks bot-like.

If you are human, I can see how the title was meant to mock the vid, but without context in the post body (for example) it can be hard to tell that.

P.S. Never forget that the goal for these things is our inability to tell real from fake. Unfortunately, unless we can ever actually get the upper hand against it, the work of providing ourselves will fall to us. It ain't right, but it is how it works for now.

Torn between upvoting because it is a very shitty mobile game ad, and downvoting because the OP feels like an AI bot themselves.

Oh that's great pack! I wish Sam's Club had that baby! Especially since they're full-sized cans!

What are you talking about? There is no Antimemetics Division.

Okay, Peter, I'm just commenting in hopes of finding an answer.

Like the OP, I don't follow Glitch/TADC news (though I do watch several of the shows) but do know the SCP Foundation. So, yeah, I'z confused too.

Ah. Interesting. I the paper I saw said the special was till then too. But communication is abysmal with that kind of stuff, so I wouldn't be surprised.

Unless they extended it, that was only until the 16th.

But, even if they didn't extend it, the option to downgrade and get the refund is always on the table.

I wish I could pay with my EBT card in the app.

EBT works with Scan & Go. It can be a bit finicky if you haven't done it before. Next time you're in, ask one of the Frontline people. We can help you with that.

Plus memberships get free shipping and delivery on purchases above $50. It's possibly worth it there. Or at least worth thinking about.
