lmao you gringo freaks get upset at people clapping when the plane lands?

if only they’d picked a more thematically complementary pair of universities. it would’ve been an interesting town dynamic between Hoity-Toity University and Dirtbag State, but instead we get Hoity-Toity University and Epstein Tech

ARLONDO, inbred scion of an ancient family of devil-worshipping nobles, too up the mantle of rogue after reading too many of his wretched sister’s novels. our DM moved across the country and Arlondo has apparently become the god of fortune in his campaign setting. hell yeah arlondo not even your hapsburg lip could…

so it IS fasting, then!

it sounds like you’re concerned for your workers. if you’d like to protect your profit margins, you should consider using your clout as a member of the business community to advocate for a healthcare system where individuals pay directly (and leave the employer out of it), rather than position yourself against living…

if you can’t pay your employees a living wage you’re a shitty business owner, your business model fucking sucks and your business is too weak to exist

From the beginning he reminded me of men I grew up with, Trumps with no money—loud, unsmooth, rough opinions. Where you came from and who you were surrounded by has a bearing on your loyalties and can bend your thinking.  

i clicked on this expecting a RANKING god damn it.

here’s my ranking of ways to die:

1. all of them. they’re all tied. i cant wait

oh, like the bar/dog-fighting establishment in the first game. that’s a shame, i loved dishonored but it would’ve been so neat being able to get around a hub city.
(granted, it’s not like this will stop me from buying the game but it would’ve been cool)

right. i understand be skeptical of sources, but she seems to have only been making normative statements about the logistical realities behind your local congressional office.

Is the city a hub you can wander around in between missions, or does the game have a more mission-centric structure, a la Dishonored 1?

damn, i applaud your integrity but your workplace’s union should be ashamed that management would be disappointed at their lack of political organizing (im assuming you’re management, no offense either way). like, that’s when you really know they’ve gone off the rails.

the graphics are stylized enough to not look super dated, although that vague unreal engine cartoonishness might not be your thing. still, it’s an incredible game, and i feel it’s the best modern successor to the deus ex/thief era i’ve ever played

oh, i agree that unions can’t achieve the changes they need to survive on their own, without the help of non-labor activism in supplanting the democratic party establishment. that still doesn’t mean they shouldn’t spend money on supporting new pro-labor candidates as they occupy the democratic party’s husk

unions would do well to lobby for change within the democratic party (supporting keith ellison being one example among many). pinning their political hopes on the democrats is suicidal unless they make the party undergo a drastic socioeconomic pivot leftward

ughh i used to really enjoy the sims but these mods make the game way too similar to my real life for me to bother playing

agreed. fwiw the stakeholder model is just one component of rhenish capitalism, but it’s the one i brought up since it’s the part most germane to the article

we savvy institutional investors dont talk about infinite losses

naw, you’re right to be apprehensive about shorting—if you were to short, and nintendo’s stock were to somehow hit rock bottom tomorrow, you’d make 23.3k yen a share, and that’s it. shorting can only make you so much money. by contrast, buying stock gives you the infinitesimal chance of INFINITE GAINS. i know this…

this is a really cursory explanation, but, instead of the behavior of companies being dictated by their shareholders, it’s dictated by stakeholders, which include employee representatives and people with actual skin in the game (instead of, as you said, speculators). from what has been observed, the system tends…
