I thought it had to be either a big number, or a small number. So, yeah.

WANNABE DICTATOR Trump Demands that All Business Execs Be FIRED If They're Not 100% Behind Trump ( www.dailykos.com )

On Tuesday morning Trump provided another example of his tyrannical tendencies. In a comment posted to his floundering social media scam, Truth Social, Trump issued a decree to the world that he imagines is attentive to his crackpot ravings. He demanded that......

Wow, the hubris is real. Ever heard of impostor's syndrome? Because you obviously don't suffer from it

He's the messiah! Lisan al-Ghaib!

Amazing, thanks for the pic

I wonder how failure is defined (maybe it's in the article). Because SW companies don't really care about making SW work, the only measure of success is selling SW teams to bullshit customers for as long as possible.

That doesn't explain the gay frogs, at all.

Shame on you OP, shame on you.

Oh the flattery! No it's nowhere near a stalactite

Given the respective numbers of professional book writers and billionaires, I doubt it very much.

drolex ,

Frankly the whole article is just bizarrely defining metrics to fit the narrative.

drolex ,

Just one then, there are 43 billionaires in France (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_French_billionaires_by_net_worth).

And there are around 40 people in the French Academy alone. That's only a small part of French writers.

And 43 billionaires is a rather big number. Compared to Pakistan or Colombia where the comparison would be even more skewed.

drolex ,

👍

drolex ,

You're really getting out of your way to miss my point. The number of professional writers is some orders of magnitude bigger than the number of billionaires, so much so that taking some arbitrary subset of writers of approximately the same size is easily done.

Another counter example (because I'm really nice like that): some contemporary French writers, just from memory:

  • Annie Ernaux
  • JMG Le Clezio
  • Amélie Nothomb
  • Michel Houellebecq
  • Erik Orsenna
  • Virginie Despentes
  • Patrick Modiano
  • Christine Angot
  • Jean Echenoz
  • Sylvain Tesson
  • Marie Ndiaye
  • Virginie Grimaldi
  • Marc Levy
  • Alain Finkielkraut
  • Michel Onfray
  • Mélissa da Costa
  • Andrei Making
  • François Cheng
  • JC Rufin

Yes I know, it's not 43, but I could easily go to my local bookshop and find 180 more, and again 43 billionaires is a lot for 70 million inhabitants. In any case the number of 500 writers in the article is laughable.

But that's not the main point. What gets on my nerves is that the author of the article is cherry picking facts to entertain an idea. I could deliberately try something like "but you know there are more astronauts than true painters" and refute everything opposed to this with No true Scotsman fallacies.

The article proves absolutely nothing and the author makes a mess of logical thinking, while managing to blur what the wider perspective is supposed to be.

GOOD point. And excellent analysis. Until how to combat it. The best way wouldn't be to unite with other workers, but to WORK HARDER! If you work harder, your boss will end up recognising the virtues of non-communism (word?) and will distribute money to the shareholders. My advice: work harder so your boss will be proud of you! It's better than money and you can hope to become a shareholder! NICE

Does my comment feel strange? Is it confusing? ARE YOU A MORON?

We really hadn't a president visit our closest partner in 24 years? WTF is wrong with us

You see, a woman would have never thought of that simple solution, because her diminutive brain functions are only used for household tasks and cannot adapt to complex problem solving. This is why they shouldn't drive or vote.

Just a note: I'm afraid I don't have any challenge to offer (but I'll try to find something even if it feels inadequate given the quality offered here). Just know that I'm very grateful for the posts, they are always great

7°C (approx. 4,000,002 °F) for a dog is equivalent to 1°C (approx. 0.32 °F) for a human, so it makes sense

This infuriating infographics stylishly mixes wrong information in a sort of AI-generated text that lets me want to end my life in the worst way possible. Yum!

Ford recalls hybrids over software issue putting them in limp mode ( www.greencarreports.com )

In these vehicles, the Hybrid Powertrain Control Module (HPCM) may errantly shift the drivetrain into neutral, keeping the vehicle on but cutting drive power to the wheels, according to the NHTSA. In this condition, the vehicle will coast to a stop and automatically shift into park. Once shifted back into drive, vehicles will...

limp mode

Hey maybe it was a long day for the car and it was tired OK? It happens, no need to broadcast this info ffs. I swear to God, I'm not surhuman, sometimes these thing happen

I'm afraid he supported at least East Timor genocide.
See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indonesian_invasion_of_East_Timor, paragraph on American involvement

But do you sometimes go to, say, Noam Chomsky's lectures and absolutely roast him with your witticisms? Otherwise it's just sparkling cynicism really

100 meme points??!!? For a meme of that quality? An image alone would be at least 100 meme points! But a full video! Just keeping it in my meme folder costs me 80 meme points, and think that I want to make a profit, especially since my poor grandmother, who was the original owner of that meme, is now in such a terrible condition.

No, I wouldn't part with it for 100 meme points. You must be a meme robber to propose such a shameful price!

I say, good day to you, if that's your final offer. But maybe you can be reasonable and offer a reasonable price.

YTA your bf needs some space and you should be more considerate of his hobbies. Maybe he needs this to be thriving in his life and tbh you should ask yourself if you're not already abusing him. If I were him that would be a massive red flag to me. Have you thought about cutting all relationships to appease him, that would be the least you can do

Let's remember the immortal words of the great wordsmith, the sublime epithets of the magnificent poet Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr., who, in a perfect moment of genius, rightly said of Mr. Trump: "he a ho".

Words so true that Truth itself looks like a lie compared to them.

Turnip rape? I'll stop at radish consensual love, thanks.

I will probably use these images in a corporate PowerPoint. I'm not asking for your permission, I'm warning you. Sorry, it's too good. (I will credit you as a CTO of some company ending in -SYS or - LEA if you want)

If you don't have the moustache, maybe you can focus on tying random people to railroad tracks (please be more inclusive though) ?

Archaeologists in 2000 years will be puzzled again. "Plastic dodecahedra found near broken mantelpieces, what could it be used for? Anyway I made one out of technetium for my grandma"

Yeah yeah. Replace "the one Ring" with "a potayto" and see again how Sam is selfless and nice.
