So true, put this on a tea cup!
I was there for a teambuilding! Beautiful city, I want to return one day
Guys? Facebook is leaking again …
While not amazing, Silent Hill was ok (6.5 on imdb)
A classmate of mine from elementary school is a professional voleyball player. She traveled the world, played for teams in Europe, Middle east and Asia. Eventually she settled in the exact same village as me on the completely oposite side of the country from where we grew up. I didn’t even know until my wife told me that one of our neighbours was born in the same town as me
Yes, I guess that’s up to a debate which one is better (or none of them).
I’d say if we imagine housing as a scale from 0 to 100 where 0 means you’re homeless and 100 means you’re living in a mansion
Which approach is better? I guess from “progress” point of view the US system is better. Theoretically if you’re skilled and hard working, you can get above average and live better life. That’s actually the reason why so many skilled and talented people fled the soviet union - in the west there was no “ceiling” for you. On the other hand, from humanity point of view though, the soviet system sounds much better - country caring about every single one of its citizens to have a place to live.
But I’d argue that maybe the 3rd way is best. Because well both Soviets and US are extremes. Soviets were … well … soviets. It’s like “left” on steroids. Also it failed - I mean if it was such a paradise on earth, why were so many people fleeing it.
But US is also an extreme - you’re like a capitalist lunapark. Even other countries from west are often horrified how you take care of people (or rather not care)
But there is some middle ground between these - you can have a system with focus on social issues but also not go crazy f.e. some scandinaviam countries
I add that “cannot be evicted” is a double edge sword here. Since appartments were free and were assigned more or less random (cough, cough, corruption), very often you got one or two … let’s say “interresting” neighbours
Edit: well some interresting facts from my mom who’s sitting next to me - there were quite some downsides
Hmm really? I hated that character so much, she ruined KotOR II for me. Am I in minority?
There’s a new trend with immutable distros and they have some pros and cons. OP’s stance apparently is that they’re the future
I’d like to see some study of what can we realistically expect after the implementation. It’s a very good intention but I mean you can’t really expect that we tax the rich and the rich will just sit on their asses saying “oh well, I guess that’s my life now”
Edit:
A number of studies, including the one carried out recently by the World Inequality Lab, have shown that such a tax would help to speed up the fight against climate change and inequality
I guess they mean this study?
And yes, it’d be beautiful if all the ultra rich would pay taxes. But unfortunately the ultra rich are more often than not an egomaniacs who will do anything (!) than lower their status (i.e. pay taxes)

When it comes to Christmas movies my most favorite ones are:
This was absolutely unexpected and I’m shocked aswell. I’m certain her supporters will be deeply touched by this and will now turn their backs on her
I’m sure that big bad capitalists will be sad of you not having kids and spending all your time and money on movies, games, traveling, …
Ok I start. For Slovakia I say ‘Kráľovná bielych tenisiek’ (Queen of white sneakers) by Elán
Oh sleep talking nonsense is the best! When I was in college my roommate wrote down what I said whe I was sleeping, it could be roughly translated like this:
“We have a crooked goat in our head that we can grab by the wall and then we can go fuck ourselves because we’ve had enough of it and that’s it”
I couldn’t make this shit up even if I tried …
