What do you call the level of desensitisation at which your blood boiling is your general MO?
Never thought of employing the geometric series for this, that’s clever.
I am currently reading Buddenbrooks and it’s certainly fun, but my guy, did you have to write half the book in French?
At the risk of knowing even more about twitch streamer drama than I had possible absorbed through this site; who the fuck is Dwight? Probably not Dwight Eisenhower.
IT’S! HER! TURN!
That sounds generally unpleasant and I wish you a speedy recovery! My mum had her gallbladder removed due to cancer in the small intestine (she’s fine, hardly any complications at all, for intestinal cancer at least), thus the additional curiosity.
Oof, how did that happen?
Danger Dan is a massive Zionist, though.
Just the Higgs boson, which is exactly what the LHC was originally built for. But other than the intended results, it’s been basically useless!
Expose it to some rain and it becomes one.

That’s not entirely accurate, although the general sentiment is correct. The RoK was able to develop a moderate industrial capacity during the reign of Park Chung-hee, which played a fundamental role in the rise of the RoK to being a local power. And while American investment certainly did not hurt, the industrial policies of the Park era were genuinely cleverly implemented as far as capitalist development goes. That, of course, does not contradict that the DPRK enjoyed far greater development and wealth (especially since it was more equitably distributed) than its sister state, but the RoK was not quite the basket case you make it out to be.
But yeah, most of the DPRK’s modern problems stem from the economic isolation following the dissolution of the USSR and the triple whammy of floods and droughts in the late nineties paired with the Bush admin’s torpedoing of the sunshine policy. The multipolar world that the US and its goons are forcing into existence, however, seems to be opening up trade opportunities for the DPRK with the BRICS-aligned countries at least.
