Blind Rasputin posted:PS4 download speeds aside. NK talking some pretty big game about nuking the US if we act militarily in any way. Also they will not back down on their testing whatsoever. Whats the spread on this thing actually happening? I just bought a new place in the PNW and would like to see summer temperatures stay where they are. The rational calculus looks like this: Right now, KJU is President for Life of an entire country. His day to day includes watching giant pictures of his family get paraded through the main square. If he starts swinging his dick around militarily, Uncle Sam is going to step in and cancel "Mistresses and Bourbon" night forever, and KJU goes from the style to which he has become accustomed to living in spider holes to hide from the teams of trained killers hunting him, assuming he doesn't just Führerbunker himself. That's the rational calculus, but KJU and DJT are driving this train, so who the gently caress knows. Dead Reckoning fucked around with this message at 07:18 on Aug 8, 2017 |

I just want like, 12 hours notice before the nukes start flying so I can get on a ferry and go home to my family to die with them. Plus, if I don't die in the blastwave there, I can find my buddies who are still there and

Cugel the Clever posted:I don't think either DJT or KJU have a dick large enough to effectively wave. Dick pointing, maybe? That's precisely why it's a dangerous situation- we've got two paranoid narcissists who thrive on a cult of personality depicting them as strong, powerful leaders. De-escalation isn't a concept they understand, especially if leads to a perceived loss of face.

TBeats posted:Bloomberg with the spiciest of takes Had one of my union brothers complain about the union supporting a 15$ minimum wage. When supporting the union on this he responded with how a higher minimum wage would depress companies shares and value etc. I was so shocked to hear that from a union member that the perfect scenario of shooting people as soon as they retired to save on pension costs didn't occur to me till later.

"I am the hardest working most genius human in the world and got this position and paycheck through hard work and I totally deserve this" No you loving douche you showed up at the right place and time and lucked into it. If I asked most union members today to sacrifice part of their pay like members did before to get us here there wouldn't be an end to the whining. The important stuff to listen for is always I or We, Sacrifice or Deserve or Mine, individual or group effort. lightpole fucked around with this message at 17:00 on Aug 8, 2017 |

Let's wax poetic about the origin of this union and the socialist sacrifices the founders and members made throughout the years and then complain anytime I am asked for the smallest thing isn't much of a rallying cry. My cynicism will be the death of me.

It sure doesn't take long for a union to go FYGM once the senior members start making good money.

I have been extremely vocal and calling people out about it and there are other younger members moving or acting against that trend. It is almost 100% too little too late, there's just such a strong current against socialism of any flavor for any reason. The current view prevailing in academia is capitalism great, socialism bad, no matter the facts. Critical thinking has died. It takes strong leadership, willing and comfortable to be hated/disliked, to accept a huge sacrifice in the present for the good of the future. That kind of leadership is rarely on display today.

Union members tend to be focused on preserving what they have gained at all costs. In a lot of instances, they can't see why helping poorer people actually helps them, or why their efforts are better spent focusing attention elsewhere: on eating the rich. The best observation lately is that the Google Bro who recently got fired for biotrutherism probably couldn't have been fired if he was part of a union.

Which is weird because as a civilian scientist in academia in the hard sciences we are pretty pro socialism (all our funding depends on federal agencies).

Same thing is happening in my yard, Ontario is going $15/h for minimum wage and they're all complaining that everything is going to cost $10 more and don't listen when I show that didn't happen in Seattle when they raised theirs

A $15 minimum wage in the US probably won't increase prices, but it will definitely speed up adoption of automation of low-paying nonskilled labor.
