Hard disagree. Not crashing is a ridiculously low bar. They had hidden fees and reduced customer service to the point I felt more like cattle the couple of times I had to fly with them. The problem here is these companies have poor regulations and over consolidation. It was the deregulation of the industry that fucked it all up. Also, given its environmental impact flights shouldn't be dirt cheap anyways. We should build out high speed rail throughout the country.

You mean to tell me being the worst airline to the point you become a punchline is a bad business model? ๐Ÿ˜ฏ๐Ÿ˜ฏ๐Ÿ˜ฏ

What do you mean?

Humans are symbolic creatures. We can change it if needed but something new will have to take its place.

Anyone know if it's true that with an older laptop it's better to wait a few months for bugs to be found before upgrading?

Nice Russian talking point as long as you're willing to pretend Russia is a victim instead of an expansionist empire.

Ukraine and Russia is not a civil war by any measure that isn't pro-Imperialist. Russia is an old school empire. Even most of the territory inside proper Russia isn't Russian. The real Russian core is Moscow - St.Petersburg and the surrounding areas. Much like the Baltic States the USSR subjugated Ukraine. But Ukrainians had wanted independence and even (wrongly) welcomed Nazi invaders at first thinking they were going to get independence thanks to them (very stupid idea, sure). The point is that Ukrainians see themselves as cousins of Russians but not as Russian. And Russia is the country that invaded and initiated this current war, they are the aggressors. Calling this a "civil war" is pure Russian propaganda.

Hell yeah๐Ÿ’ช. I personally agree with how you define socialism. I'm a reddit refugee lol. They are all LMs and Stalinists over there.

In Ukraine, Russia is the aggressor. In Iran, it's the United States. Blaming the war in Ukraine on Russophobia is about as reasonable as blaming the war in Iran on their chants of 'death to America'. You can dress it up any way you want but at the end of the day they are both empires doing the shitty stuff that empires do. Let's not pretend like either is innocent.

Haha I'd never heard that take before. I'm curious about two things. 1) How do you define MLs? 2) What would real socialism entail? I'm guessing with those answers I should have a good idea what you're talking about.
