Please and thank yous are enough to be polite to strangers.

Cut out the middle man, eat shit

Why would I ignore it? It works. Take a look at china, they are using the exact same tools after the failure of imported soviet communism

Keep on learning 19th century ideology in the 21st

Well let’s just see what people who actually have a clue have to say muffin https://rusi.org/explore-our-research/publications/commentary/attritional-art-war-lessons-russian-war-ukraine

This still doesn’t make Russia magically have a larger industrial base than NATO, it’s absurd.

And the fact that you don’t even understand why using nominal GDP is nonsensical really does add to the comedy.

You think Price Point Parity is a measure of size, so I’m not sure you even understand what you are trying to claim. You’re certainly not using the right terms

And if you think Russia allocating 40% of government spending to be able to wage war on one small country makes them capable, good luck 🤞

Thanks for the essay

So we can make pills that cost 10 cents each and sell them for $500 each.

Lol. Because no R&D is involved. Most drugs are generics now anyway

The guy already gave his statement at a deposition. Why on earth would they kill him after the fact?

Because the two week special military operation has floundered.

PPP isn’t related to size, doughnut. Do you even know what it stands for?

Bigger industry? Russia GDP 2.24 trillion dollars

NATO GDP 45 trillion dollars

Lol

Good. More tax.

The success of the Nordic social market model?

Meanwhile NATO is far behind Russia in weapons, manpower and industrial might.

Russia, with an economy smaller than Italy’s?

That’s quite a humble understanding imho. Centrists are technocratic. Evidence led, not ideological. Take good ideas from the centre right on regulating business and combine that with social policies from the left.

The Nordic model basically.

Doubt. Brexit ‘red tape’ is just an import form. They aren’t that hard to figure out, especially as the majority of drugs are generics and are supplied from outside the EU anyway. Brexit just created a level playing field for all the pharma suppliers. I thought the EU wanted a LPF?

I think drug companies are quite keen to remain supplying one of the world’s biggest drug buyers 👇

UK should up it’s manufacturing and broaden its supply chain to ensure supply. Especially as it’s a Europe wide shortage and not brexit related. Kind of hard to import a drug if it’s not available

Bollocks, any decent game needs a fuck ton of capital to develop

Please share all the greatest communist games

Agree that loot boxes suck, they are gambling, not gaming

Edit. Yes, Tetris. One game made in 1985. Brilliant example Tankards.

So the score so far for games made:

Communism - 1

Capitalism - 831,000

Safer, Thorn’s flagship software product, was launched in 2018. Backed by Microsoft’s PhotoDNA technology and with technical support from Amazon Web Services, Safer is designed to detect child abuse by matching hash values of pictures or videos uploaded by users with a database of millions of known CSAM images.

I don’t really understand how this works. Are the hash values like meta data? Is there a way to maintain privacy but also check for illegal material?

Lose count?

Risky wank

On May 28, 2016, Dejean-Jones was killed when he was shot after kicking open the locked front door and locked bedroom door of a Camden Belmont Dallas apartment which he mistakenly thought belonged to his girlfriend.

Why kick two locked doors in?

I remember when Google glasses came out, people got assaulted for wearing them

Her Facebook post 💀

“OMG so you’ll never believe this but… I got verbally and physically assaulted and robbed last night in the city, had things thrown at me because of some ---- Google Glass haters,” Slocum posted to Facebook.
