Gary Larson has several species of animals named after him. He also named the spiked part of a stegosaurus tail in a comic (the thagomizer, “after the late Thag Simmons”) and had that name adopted as the official name by paleontologists.
The comment is a reference to The Wizard of Oz, where three characters are walking through the woods talking about their fear of “lions and tigers and bears, oh my!”
So, “libertaire” probably means “libertarian” in the original sense of an anarchist.
It might help to have some examples. Are you a student talking to other students? An office worker talking to colleagues? An attempt to converse with (say) a busy clerk at a store is less likely to go well than a casual chat with someone who is also waiting in line.
And sometimes there’s genuinely nothing to talk about, and recognizing that is a useful skill.
Sadly, it might end just fine for the boss. The employee would be better off going to the press first.
I don’t know if this is true in the UK but in the US McD’s locations are nearly all franchises owned by local business owners. So McDonald’s the corporation could reasonably be unaware that the 15 (say) locations in Dallas TX owned by Horatio Hornblower were all staffed by trafficked persons.
I’m not saying this would absolve McDonald’s of responsibility but it would address the “being unaware” part.
And why is that “inevitable?” Is it because capitalism makes agrarian life basically impossible?
The problem with studies based on any current trends is that they are all framed with the assumption that capitalism will continue to be the dominant socioeconomic system.
I recently heard a “housing expert” say that cities have to keep growing, there’s no sustainable static level of population, and I thought “there’s better be or we’re all fucked.”
The problem with capitalism is that it only works if there’s perpetual growth, which (as many before me have pointed out) is the logic of cancer.
I’m pretty sure the options would be to arrest him or be fired for insubordination.
Charles Bukowski wrote maybe the most beautiful paean to the fact of the telephone book:
More to the point, if there is a warrant issued for his arrest, his secret service detail would need to arrest him.
There’s no indication that either of these characters is a parent or a child.
“Hi, Lesbian, I’m anon.”
In New York 2140 Kim Stanley Robinson describes the government telling banks that if they want to be bailed out the money spent will be a buyout of the bank, and the government will run it as a credit union.
Seems like the best solution.
That’s the one. It goes into great detail about how blackface was used during vaudeville, and is quite gut wrenching.
If you did blackface after the release of Bamboozled, no pass.
I also don’t know the laws in India, but in the US nearly every major “hacking” case for decades has been a miscarriage of justice to some degree or another.
Like Kevin Mitnick who simply figured out that a major early ISP was keeping customer payment information in plaintext on an internet-connected server.
They don’t want to carry inventory because Amazon doesn’t. The prices are higher because vendors are contractually obligated to sell on Amazon at their lowest price. So retailers, with a need to have a physical presence and having to buy at more or less the same price a product is available for on Amazon, get fucked. Their only hope is vendors who make a “different” product to sell at other outlets. An example of what I mean is, Poppi soda sells for $20/12 pack on Amazon. They sell a 15 pack at Costco for the same price. Because it’s a “different” product they are not in breach of contract.
Unless you’re in Texas. Then you need a vpn.
