Lots of manufacturing operations are terrible to work for, but there is a general gap in the manufacturing labor pool in the US. I’ve worked at a handful of different shops over the years, and most places I’ve been have offered decent bonuses for recruitment referrals because they struggled to find people. Even the places that paid decent and were aright to work at.
Trades did well for me, and financially nearly all my close friends who went trades are doing better than nearly all my close friends who went to college.
Oh that’s what’s freaking them out?
Does this even matter?? The chilling effect of 245% vs 145% or even 45% has gotta be pretty marginal.
“Freak”
I’ve seen some mentions of AM2R, which I love, but also wanna shout out the romhack Super Metroid Redesign.
Its hard for me to pick an absolute favorite, but Fusion probably gets it today from me.
The super + alttp rando is so fun
When ya said oddball pick I was half expecting metroid prime pinball to be it haha
I’m not sure it’s logistically feasible even if they really wanted to at this point.
This video is less than 10 mins, and uses pretty rounded off numbers, but it’s very illustrative of the magnitude of guns in america. Even going beyond any other problems that enforcement would have like non compliant sheriffs and organized resistance.
They have called hillary clinton, joe biden, and kamala harris woke and socialists. They will do that to literally anyone. As long as the dem candidates are bad policy communicators those labels will stick and be perceived as negative.
Eggs aren’t a large part of my current diet, mostly because I am not cooking in the morning often right now, but there was a time when they were very cost effective. Where I was living about a decade ago they were about $1.70 per dozen, and I ate probably a little over a dozen a week. If I was still in that mode; seeing a dozen eggs for $9 would definitely stop me buying them, throw my meal planning into a bit of chaos and tick me off.
Rational might be stretching it a bit. There’s a reason this is called the Greater Fool Theory.
That’s not an answer. What should he have done? How do you prevent the cold war in February of 1945?
Oh. The Yalta Myth, I should’ve guessed. A contender for the founding enemy within type myth for the modern American far right.
What do you think they should have done instead? Immediately gone to war with the Soviets? Congrats! WW3 is much worse than the cold war.
The Soviets already held nearly the entirety of Poland by the time of the Yalta conference. The rest of the allies probably couldn’t have done anything to prevent that level of Soviet imperialism, even militarily. See: operation unthinkable, the korean war, the chinese civil war
A decent essay with citations, even if it is from a firmly neoconservative source. https://nationalinterest.org/article/the-yalta-myth-1052
An article from an american liberal source, responding to the same W. Bush Speech as the previous essay, and whose talking points you echo. https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2005/05/what-really-happened-at-yalta.html
Finally, to round it out; a pair of articles by Alger Hiss, who attended the Yalta conference, and who was later investigated by McCarthy’s House Unamerican Activities Committee, specifically by then rising star Richard Nixon. One from the 50s: https://algerhiss.com/alger-hiss/in-his-own-words/yalta-modern-american-myth/ Another from the 80s: https://algerhiss.com/alger-hiss/in-his-own-words/two-yalta-myths/
FDR died before the end of WW2? How would any betrayal of the US allies post WW2 be on him?

I think the place they are getting the bit about patience from is specifically dragon quest. Where the devs intentionally positioned it in opposition to other games of the time that required you to get good so to speak.
I read an interview a few years ago, I think with Yuji Horii about the design in dragon quest being set up specifically so that by sinking time in you would eventually overpower everything and progress, even if you never improved at the game mechanics. I couldn’t easily find it again when I looked to link it but maybe I will be able to later today.
I don’t see how this specifically spells more unsettledness. There are already lots of extremists in power in the middle east. Syria has been in civil war for over 10 years and state forces have barely been holding on to the point where a sudden offensive was able to completely topple the regime in a week, it was already unstable and Assad had already failed as a stabilizing force, on top of being a butcher himself.
I’m not super optimistic about it, but the peoples of Syria do have an opportunity to build themselves more responsive governance and a better future, and I hope they will be able to make it work.
I don’t know that biden truly had the ability to stack the court, any justice he wanted to add would have to get through the senate. Which was only very narrowly held by the dems, and a pretty minimal amount of defections would have scuttled the plan entirely while also having broken the taboo. I don’t actually trust biden either, so the world in which biden destroys the democratic norms and seizes power in that way also is a really bad situation.
In the air they are highly survivable long range bomb trucks, that all these ones had to be destroyed in drone attacks on the ground is kind of evidence of that.
The US has used its strategic bombing forces for non nuclear attacks extensively as well, including known use of the B2 against the Houthis and B52 against IS in Syria.
