In my country, the communist party (very watered down version of communism but still) is behind/aligned with most unions and they defend that companies should either be owned by the employees (co-ops) or employees should have a stake and saying on companies governance.

We have another left-wing party that even defends that failing companies should be returned to the employees, with government backed funding (loaned) if necessary to recapitalize the business and relaunch the company under employee governance.

Em Portugal chegámos a ter uma rúbrica especial, num canal público, que tinha semanas temáticas de cinema. Começava às 22h. Teve uma semana dedicada ao cinema erótico.

Passaram a Emmanuelle, O Império dos Sentidos, A História de O (tenho de escrever o artigo em português), o Kamasutra (outro para escrever) e não me lembro do que falta.

Épico!

Ei, quem não viu o Emmanuelle, tem de ver. É um clássico.

Way too many to list. It was the era of VHS and my father had a very large tape collection. I definitely saw movies I was not supposed to see.

Let’s try a short list…

Emmanuelle

The Story of O

The Empire of Senses

Black Rain

The Rambo Trilogy

The Alien Trilogy

The Predator (1 & 2)

The Bridges of Maddison County

The Blue Lagoon

That will do…

Assuming the web would go completely bust, I’d go back to a much simpler life.

In my view, Lemmy ecospace became a lot more dark. People are snarkier, less prone to engage in polite conversation and divergent opinions get hounded.

I also sense an increased tendency for doom and gloom. Nihilism is on the rise, as well.

Thumbs up for that reply. Pure gold.

Although always in favour of destruction by fire, I don’t think the original poster would enjoy that.

I’m from the country that makes a lifestyle of hacking a quick fix for anything instead of actually solving an issue, as more often than not a definitive solution for a problem is either too expensive, complex or requires climbing up a bureaucratic ladder for an approval.

Staring me down into shame does not work with me.

Can I humbly sugest to exchange the screws of the fan for a new set and perhaps add a little O-ring to it, to absorb extra vibration?

Because that is a hack (and a fine one, as it seems to fix the issue) but it is not a solution!

Cannon fodder.

The French Foreign Legion is an elite force, open to non french individuals to enlist.

Because it is, by nature, a multicultural force, the legion has a specific trainning regime to develop unit spirit. These are not cannon fodder: any individual that can make the FFL, can after three years of service request french citizenship.

Russia seems to be just trying to find bodies to fill the ranks.

Today, I was the 1% getting to know something new.

Done!

Hate requires too much emotional investment. What I want is options.

You can’t know everything.

You’re welcome.

It’s a hobby as it is.

If I ever manage to sell enough copies of it to be able to pay for a Kagi subscription, I’ll do it and make it public knowledge.

Read somewhere on the thread Ecosia is part of Bing ecosystem.

That was one of the most out of the blue comments I have ever read. It sounded so… unreal. Something out of a sitcom. Then I read “sugartits” is the name of the lemmy you were replying to. That’s was really top mark. Kudos for you.
