Man, is that guy screwed. What a horrible, horrible person. And he’s having a kid with her so she’s going to be in his life even if he bailed on the marriage (which I hope he did).
Damn, now I’m all worked up and realizing that I’ve fallen for OP’s trap. OP is clearly an expert at controversy - I’d go so far as to say they are a master baiter.
I mean the term oligarch has a clear definition that differs from billionaire, but to be honest pretty sure many billionaires meet the criteria…
Quickly from wikipedia
A business oligarch is generally a business magnate who controls sufficient resources to influence national politics.[1][2] A business leader can be considered an oligarch if the following conditions are satisfied:
uses monopolistic tactics to dominate an industry;
possesses sufficient political power to promote their own interests;
controls multiple businesses, which intensively coordinate their activities.
Edit: also this smells a bit like tankie propaganda pointed towards liberals and conservatives
Gates, Besos, Zuck and the foss hater msft boss whose name I can’t remember for sure. I honestly have no idea if Elon meets the 1st requirement - though simply being the richest man on planet highly hints towards it
I’m leaving because I’m tired of the lack of public infrastructure and healthcare. I just want to take a bus and train to where I want to go and feel comfortable knowing I can go to a hospital and leave not broke.
I really don’t know. Probably not? I know when I went to college I almost got kicked out for not having seen Star Wars. I was able to stay by bingewatching all 6 episodes and passing a quiz.
Honestly I can understand that. It’s pretty overwhelming. Personally, if I were you, I would start with TNG and see how you like it. But… Give it two seasons. There’s some gold in the first season but at the same time from absolutely horrible shit, including one of only two episodes that I can’t rewatch when I burn through the series again.
But then it really takes off in season 2. Hell that one has measure of a man which is not only one of the best episodes of Star Trek it’s one of the best episodes of anything I’ve ever seen.
Yeah I was actually gonna start with TNG. I know I’m absolutely gonna be obsessing over it for the rest of my life once I do. It is 100% my kind of show I already know it.
Dead on with code of honor. No on the second one though. That one’s honestly so bad it’s fun. The other one I can’t bother with is the riker clip episode.
Oh right I think I had completely suppressed any memory of the clip episode. And it was only in like season 2, not even long enough to really earn a clip episode.
That’s pretty normal, isn’t it? Admittedly I can’t recall any true clip episodes apart from this one right now (unless you count the Community “clips of hypothetical episodes that never existed” episode, or the Avatar “characters go watch a play about the events of the preceding 3 seasons” episode), but my vague recollection is that they would always have some sort of frame narrative, even if it’s as simplistic as “characters reminisce”.
Edit: oh actually, speaking of Avatar, if I’m remembering correctly, Korra did a clip episode. I think the creators made a public apology ahead of time basically saying “we had to do this for budgetary reasons”. I don’t remember what the frame narrative was around that episode. I do remember it involved these awful “extra cartoony” figures popping up in the corner throughout though.
Hey sad person, my parents are super rich so I could afford to go to a fancy university that had a legit communist poli sci professor. That’s where I learned how to talk to the poors. Which is what you are.
You see your problem is that you’re poor because you didn’t have rich parents like I did. No I’m not going to do anything to help you, I gotta get of the hair salon LOL. But now that you understand that you’re unhappy because you’re poor, that’s going to make your life so much better! Ok, I’ve done my good deed for the day so I don’t have to feel bad about having a trust fund. Gotta go, byeeeeee!
Everytime I think rich kids must feel bad for inequality, I remember how easy it is for them to cure their own guilt with the small platitudes of progressivism that won’t at all effect the system that empowers them to our detriment.
Same here for most of the above, but I would like to suggest something I do often with random obligatory attendances. Every time you’re bored at the party, say your tummy is acting strange. Free pass to go to the bathroom to fuck around on your phone whenever you want. Nobody wants to talk about yr poops. You might owe your partner an explanation, but you can follow your heart on that.
Déjà Brew
I didn't drink from this cup before
Leaving it to cool
And I know it keeps happening
Calling you, caffeine is a mystery
Falling back asleep
It's so hard when I try to wake up
Whooaaahh
I imagine this is what plays when you put the cup slightly off center on the microwave turntable so it starts drifting in wide circles when you turn it on.
The em waves in a microwave are standing waves, meaning energy is deposited in the food only on some spots, and the spots remain static as the microwave is running. Therefore, positioning food to the outside of the tray will make it move through these spots more vs if it was only rotating at the center.
Tldr drift your food for maximum heat distribution.
Seems plausible: the wavelength is in a good size range for such an effect to be noticeable.
I found that in a typical microwave oven, the frequency is about 2450 MHz. Using the formula, velocity = frequency × wavelength and knowing that the velocity of an electromagnetic wave is about 3.0 × 108 m/s, gives a wavelength of about 12 cm.
So in the 17th century, the Bishop of Quebec approached his superiors in the Church and asked whether his flock would be permitted to eat beaver meat on Fridays during Lent, despite the fact that meat-eating was forbidden. Since the semi-aquatic rodent was a skilled swimmer, the Church declared that the beaver was a fish. Being a fish, beaver barbeques were permitted throughout Lent. Problem solved!
The idea that fish is ok makes no sense. It makes sense from the fact that denying easy protein to a culture living in a desert on the ocean would NEVER fly. But not in any way for categorization.
One of their origin stories is, that a monk created them so he can secretly eat meat on Fridays. Since the meat was cut very small and “hidden” in the dough between vegetables and other stuff, God wouldn’t be able to see it. That’s why it’s also called “Herrgottsbscheißerle” in swabian which roughly translates to “small cheater on God”.
The bible says it’s legal to smoke crack if you do it in a room made out of pasta because if God doesn’t see it, it didn’t happen. I didn’t read the bible or anything but neither do most religious people so same difference.
