It’s like Israel is using this war to implement some sort of FINAL SOLUTION.

So with adjustment:

If the goal is to make a living wring a serial comic, success would be having C>=A so you can afford to keep making and publishing more comics.

Man, I remember I got Minecraft right after the Nether’d been introduced. Played pretty constantly until right around the oceans update, and then I got distracted and fell off.

Now looking at it there’s so much it seems almost unrecognizable.

Strategic bombing of a civilian population has only ever hardened that population’s resolve.

Bombing Moscow or any other city would only increase support for the regime.

Now, industrial targets that Putin’s cronies make their rubles running? Much more likely to have an impact.

Later in the article:

I'm writing about the Silent Hill 2 Remake in this scrambled, back-to-front, obnoxious way partly to piss off whoever edits this (to be 100% clear, Team Silent are the creators of the original Silent Hill 2, which Bloober are remaking), and partly to make a point about remakes: that they tacitly or openly position the original game as an "obsolete" museum piece in need of replacement, dismissing the old artistic choices as primitive and incomplete, re-defining the old creative parameters as constraints that need to be lifted. It's all in the service of the market's cannibalistic mania for the new, its structural need to ceaselessly bury "the past", often by directly obstructing non-commercial preservation efforts, and sell you Progress that starts to wither and fade the second you peel away the cellophane.

See, I figured the point wasn’t so much computing the ratio, but the simple idea that homeless people and empty homes shouldn’t co-exist.

Exactly right. I think the unsaid part here is that white guys are generally dismissing hardship and mistreatment in the workplace until it happens to them. Frankly, it shouldn’t require a personal experience for someone to care about another person being bullied or harassed in the workplace.

Empathy and allyship should not require shared suffering.

In fact, you can copy and paste this for pretty much any business large enough to have shareholders.
