Por que no los dos?

Did I Mumble?

And all of your data that they’ve collected over the years.

In the defense of the ancients who were naming things like other things they sort of looked like… what OTHER substance was around at that time that was both white and liquid?

…

Because maybe we should be grateful for the milk metaphor instead of the option that only nuts would choose…

\ >.> Would you rather it be called after dough?

Ah, so it wasn’t that they voted more for trump, just that there was a shift towards him from a solidly democrat lean before… and a huge one in terms of males (41% to 56%, looking at that article), like I said?

So, interesting and maybe-not-so-fun fact? Most parasites that kill their hosts do so without caring because they can survive elsewhere. We call it a reservoir of infection.

REALLY fun fact, there’s some cool life cycles involved. You remember our old friend anthrax? One of its favorite tricks is killing its host, the zebra. When it dies, the anthrax bacteria go down into the soil beneath the corpse, and put on a fresh new coat of paint and open up shop again. Only, this time, they act as a super friendly bacteria that participates in the nitrogen cycle and ensure that the plants in the soil can get everything they’d ever want out of that oh-so-convenient zebra corpse rotting away up above. Why do they do this? Because in their ‘friendly’ infection of the plants growing (oh, did I forget to mention what plants they infect/cooperate with? It’s grass), they get offered right up to the hungry mouths of the next zebra to come along and see an exceptionally vibrant area of green grass.

You read the message, and it starts bleeding before your eyes. Suddenly, the blood forms a crevice in the cake through which a hand pushes its way upwards, as if a corpse crawled from its grave…

Sure, why wouldn’t they? You can’t really convince me that ‘taking away’ ownership from the founder is a big deal… by the time a company’s net worth is high enough to give him a billion dollars worth of stock, that company has far more than just him alone making the company worth that much. You also can’t really say that the janitor is less of a deal than any other random employee and thus deserves no stock… It takes everyone to make things work.

As to the actual ‘value’ of the company, and therefore the owner’s worth? Ask him how much he wants for his shares, and he is forced to sell at that amount for say, the next 6 months if people want the stock. This prevents him from giving a ridiculously low value and gaming the system so he doesn’t have the net worth he truly does, because it would trigger a rush of people buying the stock for such a good deal, and it also prevents him from giving a ridiculously high number to manipulate people into buying stock, as it would push the net worth too high.

Would that idea work for every company? I know there would be issues with implementation. Is it the owner that gets asked the stock price? The board? A shareholder meeting? The employees of the company? Each would have its downsides, and manipulation possibilities.

I don’t know, mate, these are just things off the top of my head. I’m sure with some serious thought from people much more in tune with these concepts than I am, we’d have a good framework to go off of.

Hmmm, for something that very few other people on lemmy have?

For the general world?

I tried to talk someone out of suicide and failed. Can’t think of something less cool or envy-inducing.

Is that an ‘interesting’ area? I drove by once and thought the namesake was neat.

Well, yeah. The only way to get it is from contact with an infected monkey, or something that has recently contacted them, like a needle.

As a matter of fact, yes. I was talking to a vet at a friend’s wedding, and he casually mentioned that working with simians is a dangerous field for many reasons that you wouldn’t think of, like their herpesvirus strains killing us.

And then I call you again immediately, because I don’t call unless it’s a very time-sensitive matter… but that’s probably why the meme isn’t referencing me in the first place.

Body armor typically covers from around the belly button to around the manubrium of the sternum. The reason I don’t think the body armor thing is true true is because of the indents just under the breast/nipple area. Unless the vest is reeeally shaped like that, those curves would not show up. I think back to when I was wearing body armor and remember a pretty obvious line on the front portion where there was an obtuse angle formed as the shirt met the stiff portion and cascaded downwards, but no odd curves where the shirt was pulled tight after that, just wrinkles and folds where the fabric was loose.

Now, that being said, if this is super light body armor (and he’s probably enough of an idiot to wear a level I vest and think it’s enough), those might show up. The oddities on the back of the shirt do make it appear that something is going on underneath. The thick black line where the shirt is folding inwards could be because of the bottom of a vest, as it lies just around the level of the navel, as you’d expect with body armor. Just in front of the left elbow is another dark patch, which could be due to the fabric being pushed outwards around the location where the straps attach.

Did the tongue stutter?

Easiest implementation would be shares start getting shared to all other employees. No more big owner when profits come from the laborers.

Didn’t ‘the youth’ break for trump in historic proportions compared to previous elections? The males, at the very least.

I’d like to believe that, I really would, but let’s be honest with ourselves. The current republicans (in leadership) aren’t stupid. They’ve gotten pretty decent at running with donald’s bullshit and spinning it. They also know that politics isn’t much different than sports teams for the vast majority of the voting public in america. They’ll not have trouble finding someone who is charismatic enough to spit verbal acid at opponents in a primary AND can be riled up against the demographic target of choice.

The only real challenge for them will be 1.) finding someone with donald’s ‘blessing’ or a connection to him to set it up as ‘taking over’ so the republican voters will find it so amazing, AND 2.) ensuring someone like musk doesn’t try to torpedo everything by using vast amounts of money to try to buy their way into the ring.

I’m pretty certain they’ll still be able to report a crime

No, I bet they won’t be able to. Their husbands/fathers would be able to, but not them.

Even 20+ years ago, it was a struggle. I had a boss who had married someone from Guatemala (I think, or maybe Peru? it’s been a decade since I talked to him) while he was in the military overseas, and ended up having a child with her. When he came back, it took TWO YEARS, the wife and child left behind in south america the entire time, to get them approved to come and live back in the states.

edit: 20+ years ago, not 15. I forgot how long it had been since I worked for him.
