Black Panther.

It had so much hype in the media, i was so excited to watch it. It turned out to be rather boring and forgettable.

This is only partially true. The propaganda money from the big end of town is what’s getting people to vote against their own interests.

How does voting for the neo feudalists does anything to restore the welfare system?

The answer would be to vote for the people that want a better functioning government, vote further left not “oh well, I might as well vote for the people that want to burn the government to the ground”

This is some Brexit level shooting themselves in the foot to spite their face. The British public is slowly waking up to “Oh we were wrong”.

I just hope the west will have the opportunity to recover from this tilt.

How will the far right help with any of that? They’re not known for running public utilities.

One would think that if that’s your problem you’d vote further left - renationalise public utilities etc.

I hate that the headline is putting it as a foregone conclusion.

Instead of something along the lines of: Will the government allow this massive theft of intellectual property of average Australians?

Pick the “right” starting point and it’s always the other side’s fault.

You can see how this structure favours the most sociopathic members of society, as they are the ones that will take more risks without regard for others.

I'll believe AI can replace engineers when I see NVIDIA firing them. But like the graphic says, the manager's job seems a lot easier to replace instead.

I don't think there was a time when formatting wasn't important.

From double spaced text to allow edits, to certain margins, to sectioning, to indexes, to appendices, to properly italicized bibliographical references, to page references etc.

It assists you in conveying your intent as the writer and if standardized it makes it easier for the reader (ie your teacher) to orient themselves with minimal effort. Similar to having a consistent user interface.

Exactly. The calculus for taking risks is vastly different when there's a safety net. You can treat it as a game and go all in.

On the other hand if there's even a small chance of losing housing or getting in legal trouble or your family being destitute you take no risks - if you are a person with a sense of responsibility that is.

He had knowledge and connections to the upper echelons and he couldn't make it, and when health concerns arose he went back to his money because it sucks to be working poor and in need of medical assistance.
