So teeeeechnically, a salad is a dish composed of mixed ingredients. You could make the argument that you mix any two set of chopped ingredients and bingo bongo, it's a salad.
However, I like to think that dishes' ingredients aren't a taxonomic thing, they're a probabilistic thing. In other words, there's no such thing as "not salad" or "salad", only shades of saladness.
Serve it cold? Ok it's saladier
It's made up of chopped ingredients? Saladier still
Those ingredients are mostly vegetables? Getting pretty saladish
They're mixed together? Even more salad like
They've got some sort of dressing mixed in? Now it's very likely a salad!
... and so on. To me, your SO'a dish has a pretty high Salad Probability^tm
I mean, if folks were making fun of their housing I'd agree but this is the equipment they're buying to threaten their neighbors with, instead of feeding their starving population
I mean... I can't see any issue with NATO not stopping Ukraine from invading its own territory... the territory the UN recognizes as part of Ukraine... and which Russia signed three separate treaties promising to respect as part of Ukraine.
Not me, I thought he was going to be overtaken with remorse and bludgeon himself to death from behind in a tragic suicide.
Thanks, now I have clinical depression
You're confusing cause and effect, mostly.
If you've:
Met a bunch of people that don't look like you or live like you
Have a high paying job that requires a good education
Encountered a ton of new concepts and ideas frequently
You're more likely to be a liberal. These things also tend to occur at much greater frequencies in cities.
Hey, to be fair at the time the Exodus story was synthesized, it was a henotheistic religion, monotheism didn't show up for another couple hundred years!
So at the time, nobody thought of Yahweh as all knowing or all powerful, just possessed of "god-like" knowledge and power, and clearly tougher than the Egyptian gods (which were assumdd to be real, but you just weren't supposed to worship them) because he was able to kill all them Egyptian babies.
The blood-over-the-door was basically proof you were a paid-up subscriber to the Yahweh sacrifice plan. "Ah sweet you sacrificed a lamb, no baby murder for you fam."
It's a good objective, but it would take a lot to make it happen. It's significantly more challenging for tech workers to effectively unionize en masse for several reasons:
Tech isn't monopsonistic, or even close to it; there isn't a single large employer... even the biggest tech companies employ only a relatively small fraction of the tech workforce. That means separate unionization efforts at thousands of big companies, not at one.
Tech job functions are much more widely varied than "delivery driver"; job responsibilities differ greatly, complexity and education requirements differ greatly, workplace expectations differ greatly ... think of the difference between help desk, front end dev, network security engineering, data science and DBA. Collective bargaining is harder the more varied the needs of the collective are.
Job mobility is really high in the tech sector ... in other words, tech employees (by and large) have access to many prospective employers (especially with the prevalence of remote work), and tech employers to a wide geographic pool of talent. That means if your San Francisco office seems on the path to unionization, you can shift work to your Chennai office.
It also means that, when the working conditions at a tech company suck, a lot of tech workers can easily jump ship. It's hard to get a union going when your voters can easily quit and go work someplace nicer, rather than take the more difficult path of staying and trying to force your employer to improve.
Again, I think highly of unions and would really like to see more effective unionization efforts in tech -- I just want folks to go into it eyes wide open and intelligently, vs throwing up their hands and saying, "Why don't tech workers unionize?"
Right? People are forgetting that we've got essentially three languages in the entire hemisphere.
You speak three languages in Europe? Congrats you speak 12% of the commonly spoken / national languages.
Speak one language in the Americas? Congrats, you speak 1/3 of them!
The tablet is written in proto cuneiform, the earliest format of real writing -- its basically got numbers, nouns and a limited list of verbs, but no grammatical elements... so we don't know that it was past tense, it's just a guess -- but a reasonable one:
We know Kushim signed about a dozen other tablets listing various transactions, which were always either receiving, or disbursing grain. Proto debits and credits, if you will.
The distribution of grain has a recipient and a purpose (e.g., to four different people to make beer), and usually does not have a time frame.
The receipts have a time frame, and sometimes a source (sort of a "tax receipt").
The thought is that basically, when the grain came in it'd be tallied, then tablets would be added noting recipients and purpose until it had been disbursed.
It's also worth noting that clay tablets are challenging to date, and there's an (as far as I know, ongoing) debate about whether "kushim" was an individual, or an office (e.g., "grain wrangler").
The rationale is: profit. Ultimately reddit relies on users for content, and they're hoping if the remove the organisers of the strike (the mods) and replace them with scabs, that the users will stop striking.
He tears them to pieces and then thinks I'll throw every single piece. He'll fetch that little fragment of a ball endlessly
In this case, the franchisees (small business owners) are saying the big business (McDonalds, which makes its money off of real estate and franchise fees) is going to be fine but they (the people that make money from owning a restaurant) are in trouble.
For many of them, it's true; they didn't consider whether they could open this business if they had to pay a living wage. Unfortunately, that's not our problem, but it won't be a problem for McDonalds either.
