@sun Akshualli... Tereshkova was a such a disaster that indeed, the positive sexism precluded any more women for a long time. She fucked up all the experimental program by doing whatever she wanted up there[1]. As a result, Savitsakya had to work 10 times harder than necessary just to prove that she had it. In addition, Savitskaya was a daughter of an Air Force general, so she always had a certain cloud of nepotism hanging over her.
[1] The most positive reading was that she had health issues and didn't want to admit to them. As a result, she was unable to unbuckle and reach the experimental materials in racks. However, she also failed attempts to orient the ship manually, and she crowned the debacle by eating food right after landing (provided by local peasants), which screwed up the medical program.
@sun@mozilla Mastodon is more expensive to operate than Pleroma. In addition, their profile requires administrative attention to defend against attacks. So I can see them easily dumping $200..400 a month. It's still nothing when compared to Mitchell Baker's compensation package (who's still on the board while Laura Chambers is struggling with the impossible task of saving this shitshow). But it's not insignificant for individuals, I would think.
@sun@warmbeverageenjoyer@lain No, it's illegal to discriminate by race. Well, they do it anyway, by discriminating against Asians in particular. But technically a decision-making in admissions according to race is a crime.
@sickburnbro The original take made more sense. The stored equipment is an essential reserve and Russia was draining its stock too. In fact the new production tanks are something like 12-15%. So the main reason why we cannot reactivate is that we have no workers in Ohio anymore.
@sun@bot You'd think nobody can get this retarded, but then you realize they are liberals, and they would not be liberals if they weren't. I actually saw liberals who think that Muslims throwing gays from rooftops was an alt-right hoax. What's worse, they do not understand even if reality hits them in the face (see the one punch game).
@anemone@thendrix@sun I'm 100% for our society do everything that's needed to do away with tipping. It's a deeply corrosive practice, and it's founded upon an absolutely retarded myth that tips improve service. It's on the same level as the myth of patents advancing innovation. There's no solid argument in favor of tips, taxed or not.
@sun@jeffcliff@thetechsavvyassistant It was the same for my wife, because she didn't have any money, being on an H-4. In the end, she's never had a bank account. But she writes all the checks for us.
I once was descending from Mt. Diablo by a narrow winding road, and a cyclist with a trailer decided to race me. I had my family in the car. Of course, I let him go. Imagine my surprise when a mile ora km down I found him laying on the side of the road with his head cracked under his helmet. Fortunately, the trailer's cage protected his toddler. I was so close to a ruinous lawsuit, or maybe prison, I still fill a chill just remembering that. Imagine if that cyclehole crashed in a close proximity ahead of my car.
Cyclists should be gassed. I'm so disappointed to hear that Moonman was one of them.
@lain@amerika@sun Well duh. It's a top-down crisis of competency. They can't even shoot Trump from 100 meters away. But this is how the machine used to work, I provided the testimony.
The ultimate result in my daughter's case was this: she spends her time sitting in her pajamas, abusing her worthless underlings remotely, and sharing the hate of Reagan on Tumblr all day long. She graduated from a college that had 90% job acceptance rate and worked in the field where she majored. But that's where she ran out of steam.
@sun@lain I did all of that. One time we traveled for a gifted youth camp in JHU in Baltimore, where a homeless badgered me until I gave him $20 (because I had a small girl in tow, I could not try him out). Another time we sent her on a gifted youth cruise at a sailboat, and she returned with lice.
@sun@lain About training worker bees, I saw something else as my kids were growing up, although it might've not been the case for you. Every step of the way, every teacher or counselor aimed to separate kids into two groups: "sheeps" and "leaders". They focused heavily on identifying leader candidates, and then fostering them. Everyone who failed selection was dumped into a worker bee class. By the high school time it takes one glance at the admission statement to tell who was in and who was out. The process was egalitarian, although parents who were conscious about it could prime the child for passing. The "leaders" were taught to dominate the worker bees effectively.
@ThatWouldBeTelling@nachtrabe@AmonMaritza@bobbala@sickburnbro In addition, all major currencies are experiencing a higher inflation than the U.S. Dollar. Yen floated around 100 per for 50 years or so, and it's flirting with 50 now. It's insane. So much tears were spilled about bidenflation and yet everyone else is shafted even harder. Of course, they want dollars in this situation.
