What’s your problem now?

I’m guessing the Chinese diet doesn’t have as much corn syrup in it.

It’s mocking Trump and MAGA’s fantasy. For the workers it’s providing them with work that is unpleasant, poorly paid and painful. For the factory owners it is ending up with staff that just aren’t going to be productive.

As for toiling for a pittance: Trump is trying to devalue the dollar and erode workers rights in a race to the bottom. Apart from the fact that, as others here have pointed out, the endgame would be automation the intermediary stage is pushing those in precarity and poverty into jobs that don’t benefit them in any meaningful way.

But the Chinese, being somewhat keener students of human nature, have distilled those arguments into thirty seconds of comedy gold.

Gotta link to that?

It’s a funny thing, I used to a werewolf but I’m alright noo^oooooow.

Is there a supercut of Lucifer which is just Tricia Helfer and Lesley-Ann Brandt about to commit mayhem?

Oh sweet summer child, your dad knows parts of the internet you have barely seen in your dreams.

Child prison labour? You mean you’re providing shelter for orphans and creating jobs for them too? You’re practically a saint according to supply-side Jesus.

Some decade and change ago I used to sell people Drupal installs at £200 a pop. They’d get a pretty secure codebase, the ability to add content through a gui and if necessary have customer accounts.

Pretty much what killed it as a business was everyone expected to be on the first page of Google because business advisers were telling them that sitebuilders should do SEO as standard.

As one of my brother’s friends remarked, some forty odd years ago:

Sylvester’s cool. That fuckin’ bird ain’t.

My mate was out at a book launch for a musician and one of the young bar staff was wearing a t-shirt of a punk band from the 70’s. He was having a good natured banter with her and pointed at the shirt saying, “Like you know who that is.”
“That’s my Dad.” she said.
I have a funny picture of them posing for a selfie together afterwards.

Well, first thing is, it is actually a joke.

Second thing is we’re talking about a cartoon character, and a straw man at that. It’d be different if this was about actual named individuals.

And thirdly this is Lemmy, where Eat the Rich is understood to be a humorous proposition rather than a literal injunction to cannibalism and both mods and admins are resistant to the bad faith arguments of Liberals/Conservatives that would have you believe otherwise.

I think that Zendaya’s version was also inspired by Hajime Soroyama.

Parsimonious is just a better word to use at that point in a rant.

You know it.

Brit here, all the windows in my flat have this system.
