Very right wing opinion piece.

Appreciate it.

Never heard of it but I also don’t spend a ton of time specifically looking for sources of streaming anime.

Is it just a pirate/pirate adjacent streaming site or something else?

I’ve got this… been meaning to watch it but the audio/subtitles are not synced properly and I haven’t taken the time to figure out if I can fix it.

It took me three episodes to figure out there some was something like a 10 second or more offset between the scene I was watching and subtitles I was reading.

Maybe a clearer explanation would be its a self defense mechanism of capital that frames it as impossible to use political action to regulate the economy to curb its excesses.

The Proclaimers, Five Hundred Miles.

“I would walk five hun-dred miles,”

“On and I would walk five hun-dred more.”

I remember the good ol’ days when the Ukraine/Russia war was absolutely not a proxy war between the USA and Russia.

Not that I have any reading to back this up but is it even a correct premise to say that the Economic and Politics are two completely separate spheres of influence? Just from looking around local life, it seems like these two realms have no daylight between them.

Outside of any context? Probably not.

If the context is something like, “The business owner deserves to capture more pay and the power to depress wages and abuse other people because they work so hard”, then we’re looking at somebody making a reactionary argument.

Hexbear stands before you, it towers over you, face hidden behind the shadow under their hat, wearing a trench coat cinched at the waist

As you look closer you notice that Hexbear is slightly wobbly, the feet are incredibly small for a creature this size, the arms of the trench coat hang limply down at the beast’s sides but there is no sign of hands or even fingers visible

You hear the quiet whispers and giggles of children from inside the coat

“Holy shit!”, you exclaim, “Hexbear is just three kids in a trench coat!”

I did it for about two years until I kept getting repeatedly kicked for my blood work being below the acceptable threshold (I think its the Iron and probably a bit of under hydration during the summer months, I can’t remember).

The amount of cash would vary greatly due to bonuses which were temporary. The place I went to didn’t always automatically apply some of these types of incentives and you’d have to remember to show somebody the email/app screen so that a tech could apply the bonus to your account.

At the place that is near me, if you donated twice in a calendar week you’d get the max non bonus payment (75$ US) but the first donation of the week was a very low dollar amount (25$) and the second donation would be the higher one (50$).

College town, so when school is in session (or when COVID was taken seriously in the USA) the wait time would be something like a 1 hour minimum (and I think I waited almost 3 hours before) just to get into a bed.

If anything goes wrong, you typically don’t get paid. If a technician messes up and makes a big bruise on your arm during one visit that is still visible on the next visit, that arm can’t be used. Get kicked too many times in a row and you’re locked out for a while and you may need to go through another physical before being cleared to donate again.

My wife would usually go in with me until some nerve thing was getting agitated from… something. Not sure if it was the needle in the arm, some other effect of the anti-coagulant, or just having to sit with your arm at a particular position for at least an hour (more if the techs are swamped and it takes a while to get you unhooked.)

Its possible to have a bad reaction to the anti-coagulant (usually fixable by taking some cheapo antacids for the calcium-something-or-other before getting pumped or when you start feel the negative effects start).

Be really sure you are aware of when the place closes for the holidays as that can mess up your ability to get the max weekly payment. I’d feel like dog shit for the rest of the day and it didn’t help that its almost a 2 hour round trip for me. So I’d be trying to do grocery shopping and some other errands afterwards and feeling really light headed and then get home to do outside work and moving very slowly to keep falling down.

So its great if you have easy transport to and from the place and have a pretty flexible day schedule and aren’t super reliant on it for paying necessities and don’t have any negative reactions.

Its an terribly dirty and overly simplistic and isn’t the “end all be all” but you might be able to make headway by demonstrating it either through a “troubleshooting of a situation where there’s a problem” or “kludging a solution” to a problem.

First iteration troubleshooting:

• I have an unsliced loaf of bread.

• I need it to be sliced.

• I get a butter knife to cut the bread.

What happened? The butter knife didn’t do a good job of cutting the bread into slices.

Second iteration troubleshooting:

• I have an unsliced loaf of bread. I now know that using a butter knife kinda works to make slices but its not very good.

• I need to slice the loaf of bread. But I don’t want the results of using a butter knife.

• I get a steak knife to cut the bread.

What happened? The steak knife did a somewhat better job than the butter knife at slicing the loaf of bread.

Third iteration troubleshooting:

• I have an unsliced loaf of bread. I now know that the butter knife does a terrible job at slicing bread. I now know that a steak knife does a better job at slicing bread than the butter knife but the results still seem to be lacking.

• I need to cut a loaf of bread into slices with better results than I get from a butter knife and steak knife.

• I get a bread knife to cut the loaf of bread.

What happened? So far, I get the best results from the bread knife. Now I know that of the three options I’ve tried so far, the bread knife is the best solution going forward.

So every attempt to solve this problem has increased my knowledge and experience. I didn’t forget what I learned in the early iterations so I get to build upon previous experiences and now have that moving forward.

Not a single drop of sweat on that shirt for a guy standing over a “lit” BBQ…

Also… a very very empty cutting board. No empty trays that held the dogs or burgers, no wrappers, not even a clean plate to put the cooked food on…

Every interaction is played in my memory like some Wile E Coyote bit where he’s holding onto a bomb with a lit fuse, wondering if its a dud or not.
