I’m not really sure what is really meant by thinking.

Strategizing: Only when necessary

Internal monologue: every moment of wakefulness

The optics of the conflict are much more conducive to it.

My wife’s grad program in bio was basically a full-time job. They payed her, though. I don’t think she could have made it doing an extra job on top of that.

this show is Thatcherite swill, but I love it.

I’m not sure what your math questions are, but they might be answerable by WolframAlpha. it will sometimes even give you how a solution is worked out (if you pay, it will always do that).

“I and other insurance companies”

Thank you! Those of us in the West absolutely benefit from the global order! The fact that labor costs are lower in the periphery reduces the cost of living in the core. The proletariat in the core is therefore given a choice between cooperation with capital which brings it’s own benefits, or it could risk joining with the people in far away countries with whome they can’t speak the same language, to gain an uncertain benefit.

Schismogenesis

Like the “I’m not like other girls”, but for society/ideologies

I loved reading the Reuters article on this.

Referendums in Cuba typically pass by overwhelming majorities, but this one may face an uphill battle as the vote nears, three experts consulted by Reuters said.

Bert Hoffman, a Latin America expert at the German Institute of Global and Area Studies, said the code was perhaps the most progressive in Latin America on gender and generational rights. But the text was largely compiled by state authorities, rather than being a grassroots movement, Hoffman added.

Cubans would never be this woke, the regime will have to impose it

“All elections, all referendums, have been under the guidance of the Communist Party or Fidel Castro’s leadership, and the outcome was always a given, and now for the first time the outcome is uncertain,” Hoffman said.

why did the PCC suddenly decide to allow a REAL ™️ vote?

Proponents argue that the 46,000 neighborhood meetings held on the issue so far constitute a model of democratic process.

I guess I’m a proponent :P Maybe the 46000 neighborhood meetings might make it possible to only put up referendums that will pass.
