I heard a song by an indie band called Purulent Vagina.

It sounded exactly how you’d expect it to.

I heard that being called computer mana.

If you don’t have enough, you’ll encounter all kinds of errors that’ll disappear as soon as someone with a higher amount of mana approaches

Because someone else’s taxes go to things they don’t use but you do.

It’s more efficient to pool the money and then distribute it as needed among services and more.

If you want the government to shift priorities in funding, that’s what voting and participating in politics is for.

It used to work like that in Italy, although not with a national minimum wage but with union-negotiated contracts. At least some of them had a clause that automatically raised base salaries according to inflation.

I read somewhere that clause was removed because it’d cause a vicious loop where raising inflation meant higher wages, which in turn drove up inflation.

At face value it makes sense, but I’m no expert so I can’t say whether that’s correct or some bs to keep wages low.

Plus from the wording of the article he doesn’t sound like he’s bragging about it, but that he doesn’t like what he did (although I don’t agree that “following orders” is much of an excuse)

Which computer?

Work computer = bad screen

Personal computer = good screen

That’s good, but for it to scale everyone should participate. Maybe we could manage it centrally to maximise the outcome, I guess maybe the state could do that? Kinda like taxes? And then the government could buy or build the house and give it to whoever asked for it… Wait a second!

Nasty powerses

So now I have to imagine it saying yamete kudasai every time I pick a sprig?

Thanks a lot, mr technically correct

I read that’s the position some courts have already taken, as they should.
