The red circle is helpful for me because Stack Overflow's UI is garbage. I always read the post, and then read the thing under the post, which is a bunch of nerds nitpicking over TLAs instead of an actual answer. Every time I open that site I forget that the answers are underneath the neckbeards, because it's so unintuitive.
Capitalism manufactures scarcity. Even when we have plenty, capitalism must create limits on the sharing of free resources
People can use skins to show that they're fans of a particular work. The Metroid fans want to socially signal their Metroid fandom in Fortnite, which is a social game home to many non Metroid fans they can posture to.
It's like wearing a costume to Comicon.
Autistic person here. I like brutalism, science fiction, and the Zerg from starcraft. I think all three of those things are beautiful. I think flowers and lawns are ugly and smelly.
The man also concentrated ownership of the means of production in the hands of one person, administered by a hierarchy of national and regional subordinates who controlled the labour of the people and the distribution of resources. This is an economic model known most commonly as feudalism. Now given the term left wing originally referred to opponents of the monarchy in France, I don't see how there's any way to argue in good faith that a feudal dictator was left wing.
Stalin wasn't far left. The man made being gay illegal. That's not the behaviour of a leftist.
It's gross. I don't want to make you feel insulted, so I'm going to try to be gentle with this, but if a girl drank my beer without asking I'd think that she has poor boundary recognition and that her... hygiene preferences, are incompatible with mine. It would be an immediate and massive turnoff.
I'm sure some people like that, but even if I did like it, it would be a red flag that you did it without asking.
Kids cheat when they're not engaged with the material enough to learn it properly, or when the consequences for not cheating are too much for them to bear.
You gave them an assignment to do when you weren't actually teaching them, which means there's no way they can be properly engaged with the material. And you threatened their spring break with sitting in a room alone doing homework if they didn't get it done fast enough. You created a perfect breeding ground for cheating. Try creating an environment where kids don't feel that they need to cheat.
When I was in university I never heard of anyone cheating, because we were all treated like adults and we were engaging in material we liked. Try inspiring your students and treating them like adults. That means respecting their free time. If you don't give them respect as people, you won't get any respect as an authority.
It's talking about the Genocide in Gaza, which Biden has been supplying with arms. OP is conveniently ignorant of the fact Trump said Israel should "finish the problem", he has promised to ban immigration from Gaza, and that Trump's press secretary claims Trump has done more for Israel than any other president.
Yeah I hate it when I'm trying to enjoy myself at the park and there's a bunch of birds screaming at the top of their lungs about sex.
Flat earthers are easily radicalised into right wing belief like "The world is controlled by Jewish lizards" and "the election was stolen from Trump" and "the vaccine contains a bill gates microchip that makes you gay". And right wing conspiracy theorists will willingly spend their life savings on Alex Jones dick engorgement supplements while generating culture war controversy to draw political attention away from actual issues like climate change and worker's rights that may harm big business interests.
Think of it this way: in the mediaeval age, you armed your peasants with shields and spears and had them protect your keep. In the information age, you arm your peasants with conspiracy theories and twitter accounts and have them protect your untaxed billions.

I don't think there's anything cowardly about refusing to support Netanyahu's antisemitic government, except that she wasn't a bit firmer about it.
