I believe they meant that worker cooperatives are a small, almost insignificant part of the overall economy in every country that has them. Often co-ops end up serving a small niche market because they really can’t compete with the anti-competitive nature of capitalist big business.

This post is so invalidating for us train boys

Now that’s some Beans I can get behind!

Overcooked 2 is a blast, but it can be really difficult too.

Damn I love this!

A lot of full time content creators support themselves using this format too. Some type of freemium model could work too.

I think it’s okay to get some news from social media, but mostly it isn’t good. No one should be getting all of their news from social media. So often the news shared is sourced from complete dogshit propaganda and view farming rags. If you’re in the US at least, you should be getting most of your news from the associated press. If you really need to watch the news, rather than read it then your only halfway decent options are nightly news broadcasts. If you need to listen to news, NPR is the only halfway decent source that comes to mind.

Specifically in Minneapolis we’ve tried really hard but the current system is just so entrenched and FUD about proposed alternatives can easily be sewn in the communities that aren’t impacted by the MPDs awful practices. A critical first step was removing the MPDs guaranteed protections that are baked into the city charter. That can only be done through a ballot initiative which has to be approved by an unelected panel of people appointed by local judges. That panel refused to put the initiative that city council passed on the ballot, so what do we do? Pressure the panel, pressure the judges, wait for new elections to put in new judges, but most of them run unopposed, who’s going to become a full time judge just to appoint a panel member that their constituents want? This was just the first of many battles that are still ongoing, and as the wounds of the Minneapolis uprising heal (at least in the eyes communities unaffected by the MPD) the movement is losing stream. People just want to get back to their lives and are tired of all the politics and are not too concerned about police malpractice when it comes down to it. They don’t even care about the millions we spend in police settlements every year so long as they don’t have to get political.

The Machamp line is the first one that comes to mind for me. My dad bought a two player starter set from the early years of the trading card game. The only 3 stage evolution in that set was the Machamp line. I always like to play that line in the tcg for game boy too. Machoke is my fav but I love them all.
