That’s not agile.

It’s not bad, it’s just not agile. Agile exists for projects where that simply isn’t possible. Its sacrificing a bit of potential best-case productivity to ensure you don’t get worst-case productivity.

The problem is that people realized that they could sell agile training to middle management if they changed it to be about making middle managers feel empowered and giving progress visibility to upper management.

I didn’t realize there was a 3rd. I’m gonna have to go find it now

I love it when you talk dirty like that 🫦

And that’s how it spreads.

One of us. One of us. One of us.

None: SEO is fucking everyone, and it’s not something that search engines can control. If a search engine gets popular, websites will optimize for it.

And its always the websites that optimize the most that you’re least likely to actually want

I agree with everything you said, although important to note that “natural progression” may not be smooth progression. How much suffering needs to pass before a violent uprising is natural instead of forced? I expect it’s hard to tell when you’re in the thick of it.

Why did I get so many upvotes? I just repeated the title of the post lol

Taking a what? The suspense is killing me!

Taking a sheltie for a walk? Taking a shelling from enemy artillery? Taking a shale core sample for geological study? Taking a ship across the sea to find India? Taking a shrew for a pet? Taking a shut-in for a wife?

The possibilities are endless!

Democracy itself gets voted out, without any resistance?

I mean that there is a realistic existential threat placed on the system of government, by a large part of the population. By plurality, I mean that the largest segment of a population (even if it’s not a majority).

You’re telling me that govt’s that put down a large rebellion don’t then start introducing authoritan laws like monitoring communication, restricting free speech, and targeting non-violent sympathizers?

Notice a theme of “private property”? Notice how this meme proved a great differentiation between private property and personal property?

Have you bothered to see if maybe there is a difference between the two, when engaging in discussions with communists or communist supporters?

If it makes money (or some equivalent) then you can’t own it. Parents aren’t necessarily, if you’re supported so that you can invent for the betterment of society or for fun.

Dictatorship of the proletariat is supposed to be a temporary phase, but it is a fundamental weak point in the transition to communism that I think cannot be overcome, because once people get that power, they won’t be able to give it up (or they’ll be removed by people who don’t want to give it up).

So I consider communism sort of an unattainable ideal that we should strive towards rather than actually considering implementing irl.

You’re not wrong, but also give me an example of ANY country that doesn’t resort to authoritarianism when the government is threatened by a plurality of citizens.

Lol telling people to go look up the definitions without yourself knowing the definition is giving Facebook.

Is that a challenge? Don’t make me beach you off.

I mean, there is an ocean between doing nothing that your childhood friend died, and asking to be cremated in the same urn as the person you shared your bed with.

I grant that you’re right in that we shouldn’t project modern western ideas of sexual identity onto other cultures, but typically I see this conversation come up as a reaction or rebuttal to the assertion that this kind of behavior has no historical precedent.

No, it’s not… I had to leave 9gag at the start of the pandemic because it was overflowing with bigots and toxic alpha-man-wannabes. I somehow doubt it turned a new leaf since then.

Ok I exaggerated, it not just a repost

But I’m still crying

When the repost gets more upvotes 😭
