How do we change the social structure at this point?

Here's an idea that worked in the past!

Actually it's technically a part of Russia now. Hope they still help clean up in the case they lose the war. Though it is also the choice of the USA/NATO who provided those munitions in the first place. They'll definitely also help clean up, right guys?

If they did that, the USA would sanction the USA. Can't have those Marxist-Sanderists thinking they own the place.

India and Brazil, famous white countries. Aren't you people the "this is whataboutism" spam guys?

quad core laptops with IPS screens that can run up to 16 GB are like $50 nowadays. throw it out.

Feel free to send me the $50 bucks and I'll buy one. I still won't throw out perfectly functional hardware. Until then I'll make use of what I have, thank you very much.

Didn't realise I walked into comedy central.

By "stable" I mean that for the majority of the time I will not have any electricity or internet. My use case explicitly requires battery and offline software.

I'll be away from both stable electricity and stable internet so I can't just ditch a battery.

DW is German though. They have a historical obligation to not be this daft.

Yeah, I can see how it can be annoying to other users. I hope we eventually get some option to automatically hide or at least tag federated users. If they use a nickname you can't even tell they're not from here without mousing over.

I have never moved on from version 1.5.2 ever since my favourite modder from the "Better Than Wolves" mod decided to stay in that version. Some 8 years later when I finally got coerced into playing the 1.15 it just felt like the game completely stagnated both technically and artistically and was just adding fluff to maintain engagement. It used to run on my old 32 bit Pentium with 4GB RAM like a breeze, but oh wow, bees! The Nether update was fun I guess, but I've seen better mods in like 2014.

I refuse to run the bedrock edition on the simple principle that it's not moddable and doesn't run on Linux and at that point it's the opposite of why I even bought the game back in the day. Every Microsoft decision with it since buying Mojang, from bankrupting Telltale to keeping two parallel minecraft main versions, to whatever the hell was Minecraft Dungeons/Legends, is a great case study in enshitification by itself. If I get triggered enough I may even do a write-up on it in the weekend lol.

Usually for things like that Statista gets it straight from the Bureau of Labour Statistics, so that could be an easier to audit source. I guess this specific one might be easier to find in the Bureau of Economic Analysis. I'm not very acquainted with economy metrics in particular for the USA, but I guess that and other websites like ourworldindata and even the world bank have some public info on their methodology and sources, even if their conclusions are heavily skewed. Often just going to wikipedia's "Economics of " can give you a pretty good initial source. Though it doesn't really matter that much in this case because like the other user my disagreement is more over whether salespeople generate surplus value rather than the data itself, but I thought it was more important to warn about that specific source there for the future.

My bad experiences with them mostly come from looking into demographics because they'll just outright rip off local government statistics institutes and force you to at least make an account just to get the source beyond their pretty graph. It gets weirder with ethnography because they just bludgeon the data until it fits their USA-based frameworks. Shit like calling skin colour in Brazil "ethnicity".
