It makes me very happy to know that we have so much more in common than what makes us different. I too love manga, books, and playing chess (when it doesn't frustrate me). I wish you nothing but happiness, freedom, and prosperity. The Palestinian struggle breaks my heart.
Well actually the bongcloud is an attack by white, I think if black initiates it from D4 it's just a shitty ~~Horowitz defense.~~ Englund gambit
This is the only humane option. I guess I'm privileged at Langley to only need to worry about results.
I have projects that require that I log hours to justify why they're getting charged what they are, adrenochrome bill, etc. So if I show up late, take a long lunch, or do laundry in the middle of the day it's kosher because what do they care? The project has a deadline and we're going to meet it at a certain budget. The trade off is a responsibility for when time gates happen, especially if I missed something I could have seen, especially if I missed it by doing laundry or talking to another client.
Looking busy was the first thing I ever hated in an office. I hated it as much as wishing the clock would hurry up. Squeezing labor out doesn't even seem like the most efficient use of people. If you guaranteed them the 40hr salary, had clear expectations for the minimum and gave some agency to think about how to make it awesome, you probably get more focused work on every project. They'd get bored and organize, put on music while separating trash and recyclables, suggest a compost bin, and make macros to solve busy work. They'd chill on easy weeks and have the energy and motivation to lock in on hard weeks.
I'd argue with you over the idea that it's fun, but that's a good perspective and I'm going to do that now
I fight extra hard against people with an Israel flag on chess.com 
I see you also like manga. You ever check out One Piece?
I have no other thoughts in my head except "well actually" because bongcloud attack starts with white with 1. e4 e5 2. ke2 ke7
People who are sweating in chess might start with the Horowitz defense
Ahhh, I have mate in 30, I concede you on your behalf. Good game 
edit chess nonsense:
Just looked it up, 1. d4 e6 is a real move, the Horowitz defense, 2. ... ke7 is trolling bigly. So much so that Stockfish, the chess computer, recommends that you simply go 3. ... ke8 and put the king back and pretend you never moved it
What's your move?
- D4
-
Puts a timeline on someone else's freedom
-
Enemy is both strong and weak
-
We'll get back to it at a better time
I see it as a likely outcome.
I know one that will get popular traction: you know what people hate? The genocide in Gaza. You know who encouraged Israel to "finish the problem?" Donald Trump. We should call him Zion Don. That'll associate him with something incredibly unpopular.
POV: we're on a date to the Rise Against concert but I thought your take about how there could still be private home ownership in cities sometimes at the DSA meeting was revisionist
yelling into your ear: Yeah, this song is called Paper Wings. It's a really good one. Yeah it's like when Icarus uhhh.... yeah the Greek God Icarus was like uhuhh... he flew and his wings melted. Yeah, cause they were wax but not paper so I think they got it wrong.
If I cant post, it's not my revolution. I'd have to do a revisionism
