What has she done?

What ceasefire? Which one, of the numerous conflicts now on Earth, is referred to here?

The fact that they seem to really have expected a Biden “pardon” is absolutely hilarious to me.

You sure about scihub? I am finished without it. Do you know what’s going on there?

Did you try sci hub for the separate chapters (if they have separate doi)?

ToC via Styles formatting and Table of authorities - these are from the top of my head, which I remember not working properly with Open Office. They need to work when I do them and also should be displayed correctly when I receive them from colleagues in docx format.

Format painter, track changes, spell checker in two languages, intendation adjustments, page breaks, and paste as text - I use these like crazy but I don’t remember if they were OK in Open Office or not.

Can I use MS Office natively with that? Also, can I use it as a non-techie lay man in a way that is similar to the way most office bottom-feeders use Windows?

I know there is Open Office but I am lawyer and the free office alternatives just don’t have the rich formatting options I need to do my job. I have tried and they just won’t do.

Well, I hate mmunism as much as the next Eastern European but this is absolutely true. Commie blocks rule.

well, they had it coming

Is this the company that was criticised for banning adult content?

GDPR violation.

F you, Uber.

They tried to bypass taxi laws in our main city and the municipality just kicked them out. Never thought I would say it, but here am I:

Good job, government. Well done.

True and accurate.

I just want to add that we need to rein in capitalist greed, reduce car reliance, mitigate climate change, stand with our LGBTQ friends, and allow for fair distribution of wealth, so that the 1% don’t hoard all resources built in the economy.

What is not clear?

Good riddance

Thank you for the explanation!

These tech companies leaving certain places to avoid regulation, while sucking up to censorship laws in Russia and the likes… They can shove it, if you ask me.

I am from Eastern Europe and I share this sentiment when I see anyone from the West defending communism. The issue is complicated but, to put it bluntly:

No, Timothy, communism didn’t fail in Eastern Europe because it was implemented wrongly. This is a very complicated topic but the tldr summary is “It is a broken idea, it did not work and it will never work. The natural and logical outcome of any attempt at Marxism is a bloodbath followed by autocracy.”

That being said, communism isn’t the only way to achieve a more equitable society. You have social democracy (in Lennin’s words - communism’s greatest adversary); organized labour movements; collectivist anarchism; communitariasm, etc.

Communism, as applied in the 20th century, violently fought against or oppressed all of these movements and is incompatible with any of them.

Not to mention that in most countries nowadays orthodox communists have been hugely discredited for excusing the Russian war of annihilation against the Ukrainian people.

In conclusion, if you live in the USA or Western Europe and you are unhappy with how corporate greed has ruined society, don’t look to communism for answers. There are many other proposed solutions out there - go and research these. Communism is very well known, which makes it easily accessible to people who want change - but it is never, ever the solution.
