  • Come out ye Black and Tans (particularly the cover by Colm R. McGuinness)

    Depending on how you choose workout songs, the Song of The United Front could work too. To me, pretty much any left song, from certain Dropkick Murphys ones to The Internationale, will do the trick. xD

    Edit: Forgot about the Chemical Workers' Song. How could I.

  • Are those (adapted) lines from a song? It sounds familiar, but I'm a music noob sometimes.

  • Kinda like biology: knock out a gene (package) and see what happens.

  • You gotta pump those numbers up, those are rookie numbers.

  • Well, at least they made a backup to restore it if something goes wrong.

  • Ngl, it does look kinda cool. Driving me crazy that I don't have one.

  • I guess I'll just roll with it.

  • Yeah, because we have more than two parties, so a simple majority isn't automatically an absolute one. But if you group the far right with the increasingly far right "conservatives", it looks much more bleak.

  • But at least they don't automatically get effectively all the power after winning a simple majority. That's... something, at least. I want to cry.

  • You were my brother, Anakin! I loved you, you piece of shit!

  • What does it mean to flip toilet paper when replacing it? Like, putting it in the right way and wrong the next time? How does that make him right "either way"? At best, that makes him right 50% of the time. Sorry, but this just makes no fucking sense. Or am I missing something?

  • Revive Lenin and have some stroke medication on hand?

  • Oh, right, I forgot that.

  • I don't really think of songs as girl songs or boy songs. That being said, I guess La vie en rose by Edith Piaf, I guess? Nothing secret about it, though.

    Also, no secret in me liking I want it that way. Never told anyone, but that's because nobody ever asked me.

  • This is why I love the internet.

  • What the fuck are you smoking?

  • Why not both? Get reforms done now to get some immediate alleviation and garner more popular support, and prepare for a revolution asap.

  • I got it, but mostly thanks to watching HIMYM.

  • You could still have different prices, albeit lower ones. Renting then becomes part of a resources allocation game. If you want a bigger/more luxurious home, you pay more and have less for other things. If a fancy house isn't so important to you, you can get a cheaper one and have more money left for vacations, fine dining, cinema, etc.

    As for the efficiency, that government department could take lessons from big property owners and organize like them, only with state subsidies and without profit goals. That way, the middle class, by virtue of having more money, could still afford better housing. Also, I don't want the middle class to live like the working class, I want the working class to live like the middle class. Also also, there's no "middle class", only parts of the working class that got lucky. But they're fundamentally still beholden to their employers' whims.

    Incremental change withing the current system is good and important, but we nonetheless have to discuss the big break that has to occur at some point, and what comes after. Incremental change can only take us so far.
