  I was just going to say, of all places, this gets published by an Irish news outlet? Hah! It has been my experience moving there that in workplaces in Ireland is you go there, do your job and go home. No bullshit, the workplace is not a family, your colleagues are not your friends. In and out. Very efficient while on the clock, couldn’t give a fuck immediately after.

  Well, the French Revolution wasn’t really that goes for the people of the time either. It was an extreme event which punished innocents too. The eventual changes in society were the beneficial ones. The same is true about WW2 I guess.

  If it happens gradually, then some will go out of business while others will modify the ordering to appeal to those with money. If it happens suddenly that people don’t have money to spend, then governments will try to bail them out with public money, this accelerating the public’s descent into poverty and then some will go out of business while others will modify the offering, etc.

  But the thing is, people who have the financial power or political influence to prevent common people from going into poverty don’t stand to lose from this collapse. People with power and money increase their power and money both when thighs go well and when they go bad. Unfortunately more so when they go bad.

  Unless, of course, the French Revolution happens.

  Is it a scam? How does it work?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I just want to view the recipe⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, but paid content is not the norm and the reason for that is that blatant advertising and shoving malaware down people’s throats on grandma’s recipe website is not only legal, it’s a predictable business model.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I just want to view the recipe⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, that’s fine, but at some point we need to start talking about alternative methods of monetization for websites. On the one hand, compiling a list of recipies on a website and maintaining that website is not easy or cheap and the owners should be able to make money out of it. On the other hand, the user should be able to pay for this comfortably and have a nice experience on the website.

  This ad model doesn’t serve any of the two, business or consumer.

  Hey, thanks for taking the time to reply to my hasty, poorly put together message. The point I was trying to make was that the original meaning has been lost when the word became popular. It is a somewhat obscure word with a loose definition based on an obscure reference and it describes something for which the language was more than ready to describe anyway. I think that instead of telling people to try and use the word correctly, one should tell then to not use it at all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you ever worry that you're secretly a psychopath that unknowingly manipulates people around you?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What does it mean? It’s a relatively new term and I’ve seen it used to describe everything from accidental logical fallacies to being short-changed at the liquor store

  It’s not the investigators who are creating the hype, it’s the media. And the media does it because the think it sells. 'Effin BBC had live coverage of this dude arriving to his last court hearing, including his plane landing, wtf?! Who watches this shit in a country which has nothing to do with that idiot?
