I think that the commission should remain at exactly the same percentage but that they should be required by law to do an amount of work that represents it. Like take home the 20k on Monday but then spend Tuesday to Sunday working full time in whichever brothel gets assigned to you by the buyer. Or participating in concurrent human medical experiments or somesuch.

Time to pay VAT motherfuckers.

I had to learn to remember this within the dream and to forcibly wake myself up from it to stop this happening. Which I think is quite an accomplishment, if I may say so myself.

I suspect it goes back to wearing nappies/diapers as a baby. Babies naturally try to wait until they are unclothed to relieve themselves; they essentially have to learn how to go in a nappy, or else let it happen because they can’t hold it in any longer. Then they have unlearn this with potty training. It’s crazy really.

It’s all fucking tire kickers anyway.

I had an instance recently where it was faster and easier to literally make an item with my bare hands than to coordinate a purchase of one via marketplace.

It’s a strong tradition in France that when you get pissed off with a company you take its CEO hostage.

It seems to be really effective.

There is some good reading to be had that explains the specific roles that different groups of former Soviet elites were allowed to fill within the corrupt power vacuum that followed the collapse.

Can you recommend any good books? I haven’t studied Russia much but recently read Killer In The Kremlin and would like to read more.

I only used it to do occasional stuff to my photos that simple photo editors cannot do.

I’m aware I’m not properly answering your question here but it sounds like you might be better off ditching Adobe and using something like GIMP or Krita. I went through a period when I was struggling with my cracked version of photoshop and not getting anything done and discovered it was much more efficient and relaxing to spend a couple of hours learning GIMP.

If you’d rather use photoshop that’s fair enough but I thought I’d just share my experience and offer a nudge in a different direction :)

Whoever did this is an absolute legend.

This is fantastic news, I’m so glad to hear this is being looked at.

What’s happened now?

When I was a kid I thought grownups were out of touch when they used slang and it made me cringe.

Now I’m a grownup I know that they did it to make me cringe.

lol

Russia?

I hope people are using that power for worthwhile things.

IMO they should not have been bailed out. For most people the economy has already failed and it should be allowed to crash fully so that it can be rebuilt and restructured in full. That might sound extreme but I don’t see many other alternatives. Something has to be sacrificed for the sake of the vast majority of people and the real economy and I think it should be the financial sector.

This a beautiful story. Bankers get shafted lending money to apex capitalist.

🤌

The last thing I want to dream about is tweaking a thermostat.

That’s great news. Looking forward to having more climate scientists on Mastodon.

GNOME lol!

Was ist PKI?
