Old man fight
âA grudge over food is an ugly thing.ââJapanese proverb
If you want a corporate state/military in your SF, I came up with a somewhat streamlined version of the Japanese corporate hierarchy that could be a useful model.
Chairman
Division chief
Department head
Section manager
Team leader
Supervisor
Employees
Each (above employee, anyway) could also have âassistantâ or âvice-â in between it and the next one down, if you want more ranks.
Notice that this also gives territorial divisions for a corporate state, or military units for a corporate military: branch/division, department, section, team.
Huh, yeah I think Iâm going to revise my own corporate-based military a bit, in line with this post that I apparently in my infinite wisdom decided to partly ignore.
Thinking Iâll have âemployeeâ as enlisted, âsupervisorâ as NCO, âleaderâ as senior NCO, âmanagerâ as company officer, âheadâ as field officer, and âchairmanâ as general/flag officer. Then you divide each into, like, âjuniorâ, âseniorâ, âchiefâ, and you have nine ranks for each, like the E1â9 and O1â9 progression in our militaries. (Yes âchief headâ is redundant, but if it comes to that âmaster sergeantâ is a contradiction, âsergeantâ means servant.)
I just googled this and⌠yes, itâs absolutely real.
And there are so many articles and videos and discussions. Like, the scientific community is buzzing about this.
So much research will have to be redone because the data was absolutely compromised, off by orders of magnitude, by using standard lab gloves.
The world is probably not horrifically contaminated by microplastics. Sterile laboratories, however, are contaminated by latex and nitrile gloves.
Thank God someone bothered to check.

*movie with women main characters comes out*
Men: this movies cinematography was way off. The characters were impossible to connect with and the action scenes were just not realistic. I will say a bunch of big words to hide my sexism behind and so you think I'm right and so so smart.
Women: This isnât good female representation, this is pandering. The heroine is a typical high school mean girl and thinks being a girlboss is peak feminism. The writers clearly wanted to write a strong woman before writing a good character or a story. If this is how all women are supposed to be, Iâm offended.
People like OP: Shut up pick me! Dick worshipper! What, are you trying to be not like other girls?? Heâs not going to text you back! Thereâs a special place in hell for women who donât support other women!
Yes. I want to see characters that represent real women, in all of our rich variety, showing both our virtues and our failings.
In other words, characters showing women as real human beings.
Men tend to like female main characters, OP. Just as long as theyâre good characters
For example; Kim Possible. Badass, intelligent, but also awkward at times and flawed. Complexity is what makes a character good, not their gender
Remember: Samus Aran was a female game protagonist, back when Hirohito was still emperor. Everyone loved her.
"Male-led media can fail by rhe truck load, but the only reason female-led projects fail is sexisn!"
It's also funny to see this after decades of feminists criticizing female-led media as poor representation, and complaining about violence happening to female characters.
I think a vast majority of people you see hating on America from mainly Europe are doing so because its cool/one of the only socially acceptable regions for them to openly show hatred towards. It feels so forced and its always the same regurgitated stuff over and over.
Apparently thereâs a âkids shouldnât be allowed in grocery storesâ thing being spread on TikTok because they might scream or run around and look yeah thatâs annoying but at a certain point youâve gotta just put up with kids being a little annoying in public. Sure the kid pouring milk in the isles is the fault of a shitty parent and should be asked to leave, but a single mom with an otherwise controlled by crying toddler isnât doing anything wrong. I think youâll live if someoneâs two year old starts screaming in their arms in isle 3. It might be annoying but that mom is probably having a worse day than you
Also, is a lot of the Internet just, unclear on the thing where you learn how to do stuff by doing it? You know what you get if you don't let toddlers into the grocery store? School age kids who don't know how to behave in the grocery store, which is worse. Don't let them in either? Teenagers who don't know how to behave in the grocery store, which is much worse. Just ban all minors from the grocery store? Now you have adults who don't know how to behave in the grocery store, and at that point we may as well not bother with society.
Toddler in the grocery store is learning:
How to find items in space that was organized by someone else
How to share narrow or complex walking spaces with strangers
How to operate in a space full of things they can touch and maybe even pick up, but don't own
How to peacefully coexist with strangers in a public space when everyone is doing their own (similar but separate) tasks in the same place
What kinds of food exist
How to tolerate having nothing in particular to do in a high stimulus environment
How to wait in line
How to greet a cashier and complete your transaction nicely
How to pay for things in a store
Most of this they are learning just by following and watching their adult(s). They're also, and this is especially important for families who don't take much public transit, getting to see a broader cross section of people than most other age appropriate activities will readily show them. The only other public place of this sort that a toddler might routinely go is the library, which is different in ways that are potentially instructive if you have only existed for 30 months.
okay so thatâs at least one person who would have no problem if they got sent back to medieval times, the guild hall absolutely going off to this mashup
Ok, not everything on TikTok is terrible, but the app still is.
Well, they claim the higher taxes are only on the rich, and will never affect regular people.
Like most leftist nonsense, this is based entirely on wishful thinking.
Also, "Tax the Rich" implies "the Rich" are not taxed at all, which is obviously false. Anyone working under that slogan is either deliberately deceptive, or too blinkered to notice.

Personally I think every police/prison abolitionist and acab losers should be forced to watch a 10 hour body cam compilation so they can actually see just how evil some people are, and how quickly a seemingly calm situation can excalate into violence. Just saw one where one officer responded to a possible trespassing. Walked up to the suspect, just casual and friendly and asked if he was the owner of the property. Suspect looks calm too until in a millisecond he pulls a knife and stabs the officer in the neck. A passerby notices and shoots the suspect multiple times and renders first aid to the officer, but he later passed away in hospital (as did the suspect). His coworkers sobbing while they take over first aid and arrest the suspect. Trying to comfort each other while they wait on any news from the hospital. One of them crying so hard while diverting traffic that one driver stops to make sure he's okay. It still haunts me. How can anyone just paint all these people as evil bastards?
Itâs ignorance many times but just as often itâs toxic empathy, where they think that feeling bad enough about a criminals past or rough childhood means that they can be excused for their horrible actions.
I think a lot of it stems from the idea that poverty is the source of crime and if you eliminate poverty then crime will go down, when a lot of times crime drives poverty. Not every, and I would venture to say most, criminals arenât doing crime to feed their starving families, theyâre doing it for personal gain. Itâs why rioters and looters steal TV sets and new sneakers instead of food and bottled water.
When it comes to the relationship of crime and poverty, people donât often continue to put their earnings into communities that will disregard, steal, and harm them. A person is not going to keep a business open when they get their windows broken and their store robbed regularly, they will move to a place where that doesnât or is far less likely to happen. These things do play into each other to a degree, but there is a reason why many would rather leave the ghetto than stay and try to build up infrastructure and community in the area. And there is a reason why people from poorer areas will advocate for more police in the area while more those from wealthier neighborhoods shout ACAB.
Historically, when performing long, repetitive tasks like churning butter or weaving cloth, people would sit together and tell stories. Folk stories, fairytales, and even stories about mysterious ape-like figures living in the forests. So, yes, pioneer women did listen to podcasts about bigfoot while churning butter
Which would be fine if they were running on a sane operating system, and they were responding to a âsisterâ proposing something stupid like getting a tattoo, or experimenting with drugs, or getting a monkey for a pet.
The problem isnât the hardware, but the software. They are running on Microsoft 11.

I have nothing against public transportation. I just hate that there is more waste, bribery, fraud, and corruption in the United States of America concerning public transportation. At least in Japan. They take service as personal honor rather than collecting a paycheck.
Fun fact. The Japanese in general don't under the American custom of tipping. However, the Japanese citizens who regularly encounter American customers understand tipping and accept it as apart of our culture of generosity.
Part of why they have the delay certificates is because bosses at Japanese companies will penalize you for lateness.
And part of why they donât understand tipping is that in East Asia, they still have the sort of beliefs we know best as âthe evil eyeâ (though this is actually a different belief, known to anthropologists as âgift poisonâ). To gain a benefit you canât pay back is to incur a curseâgo look up advice about gift-giving in China, for business travelers, if you want another example of how perilous this mindset is.
Thanks for clarifying. I will remember that all interactions with them are like trying to diffuse a bomb. I love living alongside a culture that seems to have the social mores of the Russian aristocracy about "respect" but then has zero actual honor. We might as well pretend they are samurai and we are peasants who can get cut down at their pleasure as they test a new blade.
Kyle Rittenhouse: Stood in front of a gas station so rioters wouldn't burn it down. The gas station and it's owner are irrelevant to why people are rioting. Video footage showed that the rioters tried to provoke him into initiating violence but he refused. When they attacked him his first choice was to run. When he couldn't run then he fought and he only shot people actively trying to harm him.
The narrative: This white supremacist brought a gun across state lines and went looking for a fight then he fired blindly into the crowd killing two people and injuring a third.
Rick Chow: Owned a convenience store, black teen came in to rob the place. Chow shot and killed him when he pointed a gun at chow's son.
The narrative: This poor boy walked into the store and the racist owner killed him for no reason.
Karmello Anthony: Brought a knife to a track meet. According to witness testimony he tried to bait Justin Metcalf into getting physical and when that didn't work he stabbed him anyway. He claimed self defense which whitnesses say was false and his fucking attorney came up with "maybe he ran into the knife?"
The narrative: Those evil racist white supremacists couldn't kill this poor little child so they ruined his life sending him to prison instead.
Ok. I'm going to just say this in the most sterile non hostile way I can.
According to this woman, Blacks are volatile little babies that need to be pampered and talked down to, because they have no ability to be civil.
No ma'am. Black people do not need to be treated like toddlers. And they have zero entitlement to be barbaric little shits. Karmelo was asked to leave an area that he didn't belong in 15 times. Brought a knife to an event at a school that didn't allow weapons. And then when told GTFO, and "I'm not going to fight you at a track meet" upon a pushing motion being directed towards him, he opted to stab someone.
I've since heard black people on youtube, instagram, and by proxy of the previous 2, tik tok, tell me, "Yeah you push me i'm gonna kill you" and "He should have killed both brothers". I've since seen a black man piss on Austin's grave, and several people going around punching white people claiming they were on the jury.
I'm losing my patience with these people. And frankly? I'm tempted to hit up my trucker friends and film myself dumping their piss jugs on the grave of "Saint Floyd of the Fent". Get in my face. I dare you. I'll show you what real barbarism looks like.
Can we move to Mars and leave the left behind already?
So, she says this to someone whose child was murdered over basically nothing.
Serious question: what, other than mysticism or legal abstraction (which mysticism and abstraction, to be clear, I accept), says she shouldnât be publicly hung by her entrails, as a warning to others?
