The bolded part is the beginning of the next paragraph of ingame text. What follows is a bunch of lib shit about waiting your turn to get rich.

Good thing they had no plans to win otherwise we'd be looking at the next CHOP.

Nausicaa the movie sucks. Nausicaa the manga is epic.

Tulip mania bay~bee!

Next step: ban people who don't upvote enough trans content.

So this episode Hachi's dad Goro decides to take the ultimate tanshin funin to Jupiter. It seems the show makes a big point of contrasting personal ambition vs. social obligation. You can have a personal goal, or a social life. You can have a job, or you can have a family. It seems you can't have both though. Is this always going to be an either/or proposition or is it just an issue in capitalist society?

I'm fairly certain that it was just a set up for the punchilne brushoff Edel game him. "I'm just a temp worker" has been a running joke through the series and is absolutely the correct take. Edel's struggle as a contract worker is completely unrelated to the trouble facing half section.

You are not wrong that he was asking for some hostess style work from her but I'd say it would end at attentive care and flattery towards their new superior (pouring drinks, laughing at jokes, pretending you could actually appreciate their mentorship and advice). This would be typical office drinking party behavior according to Japanese office dramas. Highly gendered too, just like Lavie's obligation is to make an ass of himself which he pulls off well here.

That url is like an epic troll. Good stuff inside.

What makes you think the coders in your meetings will have better politics?

The book and the style are completely unrelated. You wouldn't emulate British Victorian styles to pay homage to a book set in 1950s America. The name was borrowed by the anime subculture to otherize any objectification of children in their media and they ended up shaving off the hard edges off of the title and subject matter. Fashion designers and trendsetters adopted the name and styles from these cute anime characters and the rest is history.

Boy they bury that lolicon link deep in that fashion article you shared didn't they?

establishing competitions based on real world outcomes, like productivity or profits, will quite obviously alter the behavior that’s being compared. Meeting the criteria becomes the goal, not actually doing the thing the criteria was implemented to measure.

You mean Campbell's law or maybe Goodhart's law?

The entire conceit of capitalism is built on the foundation of competing, lying, narcing, and being dicks to each other. I fucking hate it.

You know this man has written books and started a foundation saying the world will get better if we all do a capitalism on purpose rather than by accident, right?

I dunno cellulose is pretty cheap. Much cheaper than cheese. And you're getting as much as 4% sawdust.

The COVID hoax blew his mind.

Doesn't matter if it's a solution or not. All that matters is if you can sell it. Entry control into US schools is a growth market. All new schools implement it and older schools are being remodelled to accommodate it.

I think it's a photoshop but a lot of schools erected fences (no razor wire) in response to school shootings.

Imagine you could afford only one can of beans to share between yourself and your child and you needed to make that meal last through the weekend.

I thought Will was the CIA asset what with his Grandpa poisoned Trotsky in Mexico.
