Thanks for talking about broken, it’s on my next read list.

I did enjoy ready player 1; never did ready player 2 out of fright it would not be very good

A lot of the initial popularity of Isis in Iraq was due to very similar factors. This was an uprising of a complex mix of people and goals. Most involved at first were established leaders who were patriotic and tribes who were oppressed by the new and invalid government.

This of course was airbrushed in the west and countless thousands were killed by Americans during the uprising.

Syria was destabilized due to the mass death.

The main takeaway here is that force often seems like an answer but that can go badly

Huge boost for working people. People were able to negotiate for better pay, and travel to another employer if the pay was too low.

It was a social revolution for the survivors.

But it was more like a 50 to 60% reduction in supply. That Black Death did not mess around

I’ll try this later.

They can vary even by the same author: I felt burned by the “he who fights with monsters” series whose 1st book is simply awesome in my opinion, but by book 10 has devolved

I’ve been listening to the bobiverse, by Dennis Taylor. I like the series about an ordinary guy who just happens to later be copied a few thousand times. ( hard science fiction)

The latest book was released this year, and while it can hold its own, I like the earlier books better. And the first book is one of my favorites

Thanks for all these gift links btw, it helps a lot of people

witnesses, accusations, court trials, investigations by law, settlements and outright admission.

Some of them have more of one type than the other but most of the people mentioned in this political context are not unlucky people who only have one or two incidents.

That does not mean the other people are saints. But most seem to at least not glorify in it, and many are content to exploit and rob the working class without such public incidents.

I think this is like a parallel situation as seen in the Reddit ceo driving migration to lemmy.

The wp meltdown was destructive and healthy at the same time. A minority of wp users will look into alternatives, which will help make those better to use because the devs get more support, and/or the alternative communities and ecosystems start to grow

It takes being organized and working with others, as a group, to make the change happen.

This seems to be broken in many areas if the world thanks to how much technology has changed, as well as two generations of social upheaval and mass migrations.

Nobody knows how to do this right now, the best that can be done is a day or two of activity in the larger metro areas.

I think people will find their way, but not this year

This seems to be a rare individual who would not have done such except for his own misfortune with his back.

If I learned anything from this, is that most people cannot do any real changes either for health or environment. It has reinforced my cynicism

I grew up near the Appalachian segment of the USA southeast. This was an oft repeated phrase then.

I did not even think about it while I read the comic. But methinks it’s going away in style. Everyone speaks high English here.

That much ?
