Thanks. OPs should do that anyhow.

It stands to reason that attacking a few servers won’t stop all of Russia’s hybrid warfare, but it also stands to reason that there is some effect.

In any case, I hope Ukraine continues to succesfully attack (hopefully without civilian casualties) Russian infrastructure. We all benefit from that.

Trust the woowoo people to have 0 consistency and even less math.

Overall costs? I believe it would. But it’s entirely possible that he manages to blind them temporarily with lower fuel prices.

Easier to list the things that are NOT really fucked under the Trump admin.

Honestly, that’s much less than the last time somebody wrote that.

But the real percentage we will learn when election results come in.

…and that’s all that matters, isn’t it? So we just have to hope that prices don’t go down before the next election, right?

I just commented elsewhere on Trump buying oil from Russia before the midterms: we will see if the American Public as a whole has learned anything in the last 10 years.

I feel like a child that fell asleep on an airplane and is surprised that the world around them has changed.

I did hear about RISC-V making it onto hardware but what about kernel development?

Having a few percent of unemployed people doesn’t really give employers power.

If you see “employers” as a class of a system then yes it does. Things would be very different if there was always a slight draft in the other direction, esp wrt OP’s question.

Amen to that last sentence.

“The Arrogance of Youth” I often think; I find it soothing because it means that they will learn eventually. But it’s also ageist. And it’s not always that anyhow, people of any age can be incredibly resistant to seeing reality and reflecting on it.

You’re not wrong but what I wrote applies to the two EU countries I call my home as much as it applies to OP’s situation which I guess is the USA.

In other words: I perfectly recognize and also advocate that things are better in some “capitalist” countries than in others, but that doesn’t mean they’re perfect.

And you think you’re so clever and classless and free
But you’re still fucking peasants as far as I can see

I didn’t ignore it though. I answered - from my pov.

This is the only bit that hints at the direction you wanted this to go - and you answered it yourself:

But on the Internet, where it’s just-language? Forget it. Howling solipsists all the way down.

Wow. That’s, like, “The Richest Man in the World” in a nutshell. Meaning I understood nothing, and I don’t want to. It’s not real.

But thanks anyhow, sincerely.

crocodoc is on web.archive.org, but I dunno if the doc you’re looking for has been archived.

pro tip: just prepend web.archive.org to the URL you’re looking for, e.g.
web.archive.org/http://crocodoc.com/

“No, not like that!”

They say “religion” but what they really mean is “christofascism”

A sign of a good capitalism is that you always have a few percent of jobless people. This establishes the power of employers over workers. doG forbid it should ever be the other way round, even by a 0.1%!

That’s why you have to bend over backwards to get a job, not your prospective employer.

Wait, isn’t the corporation owner supposed to pay for political favors, not the other way round?

I wonder what else is happening that makes Trump go: sure buddy, whatever I can do to help, and here’s a few million $$$ on top!

You asked a question with something specific in mind, but that isn’t actually reflected in the question. Well, in the very last sentence it is.

I answered a different aspect of the question.

Effective communication?

All forms of communication have advantages and disadvantages. I’m old enough to still have written actual letters to lovers and friends. There’s something to be said for collecting your thoughts - sometimes for days - and putting them on paper in concentrated form.

All in all I think the dangers of misunderstanding each other are just as big as with any other form.
Unless you had some other type of effectiveness in mind.

I can’t think of a single interview I’ve seen in my life that comes close to it in any way. Surely there are at least some

Have you watched any MAGA interview? I’m sure you’ll find many members of the brainworm posse living up to degenerate royalty in every way, even surpassing it.
