Omg, Lemmy reply too so I’ll be in the pic when someone screenshots my og comment as prophecy!

But yeah, unfortunately the famous DSC (Mrs Dirty Slutty Couch, a character with a southern accent, over the top sexed up, vary easy to s sit on) that was later featured in two movies won’t come to prominence until late 20s (at the time making satire and social comment of the third coup of the year, this time prompted by Vance appointing a literal couch as ‘head of congress’, a bold move after already introducing to the media The First Couch that lives in the White House).

They’ll introduce a new magical character, Mr Couchy.

No, def not every imho (they never had long arcs & joke repetition was only in the early episodes iirc), they are doing however an arc & the new romantic couple will def be features more.
So 3 to 5 more episodes of this I would say? Tho they could conclude it all next episode too & later only have background references.
(The ez material is def there.)

I actually missed/expected a few more jokes (I had high hopes bcs this is the new Saddam - I’ve seen the image with Satan & I was hyped moments before watching the episode) & even more plot, but it seems they only generally set up the new situation & chars in the first episode.
Also it was fairly light (no directly dark stuff), that I thought was automatic with Trump.

Whilst Trump hates this every American citizen not enjoying the (unblurred) presidential pp & would want it blurred is now at risk of deportation.

\s (hopefully)

Does this lack the view how much a fast economic growth affects different people & the difficulties that come with that?

China overall grew a lot in a century but most of that was in big cities (old & new ones), it wasn’t uncommon that nearby smol cities & villages not too far from those cities weren’t even really connected in a sort of daily practical way (railroad or direct road to go buy things & come beck the same day) until a few decades ago (there were huge efforts, good & “not-so-good” ones to relocate people to cities - which would decrease income disparity but on the count of hard cultural shifts for people affected).

What you get it is vast differences in economy where the worlds of “200 monies is not something I notice” and “200 monies is how much I save in a few good years” coexist in the same region where both of those two live their normal lives. The first one being like an average worker but in a modern city & the later one like a farmer living off the land (and not really having a monetary income beyond that of small trade to buy necessities they can’t grow).

But medicine & healthcare in general isn’t a system that works like that. You don’t want old drugs on the “undeveloped” periphery, that doesn’t make sense, you want the same standard everywhere. Same for the staff & equipment (you wouldn’t teach medics in an outdated facility & make them use outdated equipment & pay them less bcs of that).

And that makes shit like this happen even if things were properly managed (which ofc they aren’t).

The gov is indeed very pro labor productivity afaik, and the productivity needed is somewhat guided (a bit less strictly solely financially motivated compared to western capitalism, but that too ofc) so if they are linking rights to an employer that is surely for keeping up the productivity (and workers not pursuing lives without “regular work”).

horrible timing

Yeah, 80

/s (don’t really know much about this upstanding citizen)

I don’t disagree (and I didn’t write anything disagreeing with that).

What I added was that we still on average admire nations build on genocide or immoral individuals just because of their wealth and status achieved (& how long lasting & persistent it is).

I never said that a bunch of us don’t disagree with genociding anyone. There are always voices like this through the history.

(Tho on that note, not that it’s relevant, about the person you replied to - I don’t like when ppl use the word ‘genocide’ for a political party/military group & not something broader, like ethnicity.)

You can tell which ones is ok to genocide if you wait a few decades to see what the winning side wrote into the history books.

/s
(The “is ok” is sarcasm, the rest is just a fact of humanity tho, we seem to praise ancient as well as recent genocidal spoils victors.)

Restorative arts perhaps (wiki/Funeral_cosmetology)?

Yo, why this obvious drag queen so anti (better) drag queens?

Oh, it’s money & personal insecurities, nvm.

Yes, true, I looked for a better one but gave up :( (mid meeting at the office).

But overall productivity isn’t actually an issue, wealth concentration is, saying more work-hours are needed is such a shitty approach (well, there are much shittier ones too, def!).

That’s is just 10 days (two weeks) more than the mandatory minimum for new eyployees, it’s above average, but it’s what you get in most EU countries with some 10~20 years of work & a few kids.

(The orange part is just the starting minimum.)

It’s called Hyperion?

Like the the planet in Hyperion the AIs obsessed over?

WhooMonsOly is just observing their little competition.

Lmao, yes, exactly!

Remember, propaganda is only evil if it hurts my views (and by “my” I mean whoever is in charge, not me).

But Superimmigrantman was always (especially at the even-more-super-op beginning) just a comic about the model poster boy American with superhuman USA patriotism.
(And or with that, very one-dimensional, it took like 30 years for him to get a personality bigger than those of characters from short commercials.)

Just make him an illegal alien then, try to deport him, make him a Russian/Chinese asset.
(Actually at least one multiverse story comes close to that - but has Superman initially land in Russia iirc.)

… (even heavily alerted) school textbooks would have you think they had a whole civil war about this exact issue.

I know it’s a popular saying, but idk if it cancels shit out.
Like, try taking about dead Nazis & how good they are - feels weird bcs of all the bad shit they did.

So no, perhaps just no good Nazis.

(in a fight, right?)

… like, as a punishment, and you volunteer?

(jk, the forests are nice)
