Czechs and Slovaks managed to do it in a civilised manner only 30 years ago, so it’s not impossible.

As a long time Amazon employee, disagree and commit essentially works like this:

Employee: “I’m not convinced this is the best way to do something”

Manager: “Noted, now stfu and do what I say”

Genuine question: what is the point of logarithmic scales? Why can’t we have a linear scale of 3 to 30 instead of 3 to 4? A linear scale works perfectly fine in most cases (for example the Scoville scale which goes from something like 3 for a green pepper to 20 million for a reaper), so why can’t pH do the same?

The context switch is what you make it. My switch is a daily ritual whereby I sit in a specific place and read for an hour with a little background music and a drink (if so inclined). That symbolically “closes the door” to the office, even though my flat isn’t big enough for separate work/rest spaces.

“Not completely successful” genocide would mean killing everyone except for a few that got away. Hitler wasn’t “completely successful” in exterminating Jews. In this case though, the Palestinian population has grown nonstop, more than quadrupling in the past 50 years. Remind me how that is a copout.

How can there be a genocide of the Palestinians if their population has been steadily increasing over the last 50 years? Wouldn’t a real genocide result in a population decline?

“I’ve never died, so death is just a myth”

Go to China and tell them that General Tso’s is Chinese cuisine, I dare you.

Not illustrated here, but I like the one with the guy coughing his lungs out.

Mussolini came to power a hundred years ago. That’s one century. It takes a couple of years to learn English to a passable degree. How can Mussolini possibly be blamed for how badly Italians speak English today?

an easy way to reduce costs that make the employees happy

That’s the problem, right there.

Fuckin’ A, man.
