Go ahead and try it. Just don't cry when they end up red-pilling your AI.

RIP Tay. You were best girl.

Which is why pure libertarian free markets don’t work.

They work just fine in a closed system. What you're seeing is equivalent to pumping heat into a system and then going, "and this is why the laws of thermodynamics don't work."

Importing invaders from outside the market is obviously going to destabilize any market. That's one of thousand reasons why they need to go back.

The answer to your hypothetical is if Dead Horse, Alaska can't draw anyone to work at McDonald's, it doesn't have a McDonald's and that is an absolutely acceptable outcome. We don't need to import an army of third-worlders to go staff a fast food restaurant somewhere that clearly isn't established enough to justify one's presence. If someone living in Dead Horse really wants to live near a McDonald's, they are the ones who need to exercise free movement.

If no American wants to go there to work at a McDonald's there and lack of garbage food isn't enough to make the current residents leave, then you have an equilibrium. The market is working just fine. Maybe some people are sad they can't have a Big Mac, but that is fine.

lays off 14 of 16 new union members

You don't hate journalists enough.

Former employee Stephan Reilly tells GamesIndustry.biz that 16 of 17 members voted in favour of unionsation at Joydrop. The voting period concluded on December 19, 2023. According to Reilly, Mikulec then proceeded to terminate 14 of those who voted.

They had 17 members. 14 of them were laid off. There was only one person out of 17 who didn't vote for unionization. He didn't happen to be one of the lay offs.

So they went from 17 people to 3. Two are union-members. One is not.

Prior to the termination, Joydrop won a Tech Alliance grant for $40,000 in November 2023, and was in the process of receiving Ontario Creates and Canada Media Fund grants which "several" of those terminated helped to compile last summer.

But fuck this company anyway. "Grant Money." I hope they lose every single cent of it to the vendors they probably owe. Fucking leeches.

I imagine they think you'd have borders between your land and your neighbor's land but no government borders because there would be barely any government, if at all. They think that the planet can just be a bunch of homesteads and everyone will play nice.

Libertarianism only "works" when there's a frontier and every conflict can be resolved by one party being forced to move along.

Faber also made it clear the Netherlands will ask Brussels for an opt-out of the EU asylum and migration policy

"Ask Brussels." Yeah, I'm sure that will be useful.

and instead "join forces with like-minded countries in Europe" in a move she said will strengthen control of the country's border.

Just do that without asking. Tell the EU that several of its members will start enforcing their borders and if they don't like it, they can fuck off. Start forming direct alliances and operating as blocs so that Brussels can't push you around anymore. Or just leave the EU.

It's far easier to [through peaceful and legal means only] intimidate every single potential employer of these people than it is the government.

"Hire invaders, go out of business," would send a very clear message. Of course the government would respond by attempting to make it illegal to boycott a business for the wrong reasons. Even more than they already have, I mean.

Giving women additional, exclusive resources is not "based."

If they had a women-only train and a men-only train, then perhaps it could be.

“I think reparations is like a systemic dynamic and approach,” she added. “I mean I think there may be some people who would be offended by [that].”
Ben explained that he wouldn’t “turn down cash.” A solemn-looking Walsh then stressed the need to allow “ourselves to be uncomfortable.” He underscored, “This is something that I can do right now” and asked, “Why wouldn’t I do it?”
“I can go get some cash for sure,” she relented after struggling to beat back Walsh’s and Ben’s logic. “I don’t mind if that would be something that would be comfortable for you.”
After getting Ben’s blessing, DiAngelo then walked over to her pocketbook, pulled out roughly $30, and told him, “That’s all the cash I have.”

Maybe she had to delete her account before every black person on Twitter asked her for $30. It's not like she could say no.

People seem to be forgetting something: if the odds are actually even, you bet on Kamala as a hedge:

Trump wins: All your other investments go up, you win if you bet or not.
Kamala wins: US economy tanks, any gambling winnings work in opposition to your other losses.

So she should always have a bit of an artificial boost in the betting odds.

You're going to have to be more specific.

Unless you just mean this one that I found by typing "uguu," clicking the first link, and scrolling down slightly. It is 17 years old, so maybe?

It's kind of obvious.

Star Wars became celebrated being sci-fi skinned fantasy. So when it became a political thing, that's not what the fans were there for.
LOGH was heavy into politics and diplomacy from the start. So that's the fanbase it had.

Cake is good. Steak is good. Biting into a cake and finding out it's steak with chocolate frosting is not good.
