Shooting open an Amazon box seems inefficient.
True, but it’s the American way.
Just your average friendly neighbourhood radical.

There is no scientific “proof” that gods exist or doesn’t exist. If you think that’s what the scientific method is all about, your understanding of science is unscientific.
get away with doing less?
Why is this your problem? It’s not your company and you don’t owe the capitalists who own it the time of day - so why are you making this your problem?
Not sure about that paper - it recommends ocular irrigation (with water) for OC gas… the exact thing you mentioned hurting so bad in your first response. The thing to remember here is that a lot of the discourse on this doesn’t distinguish between the use of a liquid to flood particles away from skin and membranes through it’s kinetic action (possible with CS gas and very necessary with white phosporous) and relying on the chemical properties of the liquid itself to bring any kind of relief.
The capsacin is dissolved in an oil,
That only counts for OC gas (pepper spray) - most anti-dissent chemical weaponry doesn’t contain capsaicin. Milk won’t do shit for CS gas, for instance. For CS gas, water is the only thing that works.
Considering how many different types of this shit there actually is and the fact that they can mix them up pretty easily regardless of what the law actually says makes a one-size-fits-all solution pretty difficult.
edit: did I just say a one-size-fits-all solution to this is difficult? Silly me.
Thinking about the gaming magazines I used to read as a kid in the '90s.
I remember those fondly.
It would be an insanely short-sighted practice to not keep masters of these publications forever, no?
You’re talking about capitalist organisations here… there’s nothing about them that isn’t short-sighted.
The raw files probably take up a few CDs’ worth of space for the entire run of the magazine.
Nope… just one cover page probably takes something around 300mbs at a minimum and could be a whole lot larger depending on the quality of the imagery used (if I remember my time in the printing/publishing industry correctly) Storage of already printed material in those days was always an afterthought.
Do they retain the files forever?
Highly unlikely - a lot of the storage just got dumped at one point or the other since there was really little reason (profit wise) to return to anything at all. There might still be an old Mac sitting around somebody’s garage or backyard which still contains the stuff, but I won’t be holding any hope out for that. There’s always the chance that some employee still has the disks somewhere (you’d be amazed at how necessary it could be have proof that you actually did work somewhere and actually did work on this or that specific thing - the bosses were notoriously petty), and I suspect that’s how a lot of stuff ends up on places like archive.org.
The corporates themselves don’t give a shit - as soon as the profits roll in, it’s all expendable as far as the overpaid geniuses in the fancy offices are concerned.

That I could live with.
Destroy it.
Who did you think presided over colonialism, genius? Martians?
By the time of the Great Irish Famine (one of the British Empire’s earliest achievements) the transformation of England from a feudal society to a liberal one was complete.
The US was literally founded as the model for the liberal nation state - it’s entire history of genocide, slavery and yes, colonialism was drenched in the tenets of liberalism from the moment the constitution was signed right to this very day.
Go redo your history - and, this time, don’t get it from PragerU.

Really? It has nothing to do with the hundreds of years of colonialist looting and pillaging liberals presided over that is still ongoing today?
freedom.
Really? This has nothing to do with with the targeted maldevelopment of the 3rd world presided over by liberals that is, again, ongoing to this very day?
Way to go outing yourself like that, white supremacist.
Liberty means freedom
And has liberalism delivered any of this?
And a good thing it is, too - if you liberals were managing it lemmy would have been sold off to Meta or Google a long time ago.
That is the extreme
No. It isn’t.
Being pro-capitalist is extreme… which means being liberal is extreme by default - it has merely been so normalized for you that you don’t actually see how batshit insane it truly is.
Its like saying someone is not right unless they are against any social program or public property of any kind.
Do you require me to explain to you what left and right actually mean? I’d be happy to do so - and I can guarantee you that it will be perfectly painless.
I think this is us convervative/liberal.
Yes. It is.
It doesn’t matter where you are… liberalism is purely a right-wing ideology - there has never been anything “leftist” about it. It’s very easy to check for yourself - simply try and find an anti-capitalist liberal.
You’re going to be looking for a long, long time.
“Conservatives” are just liberals either openly flirting with fascism or simply are fascists pretending not to be fascists. They don’t hate their fellow right-wingers (yes, liberalism is right-wing ideology) - they are goading their fellow liberals into either joining them, or, at least, remaining quiet while they hand more and more power to fascists.
Well… since you put it that way - I’ll just have to concede.
Remember how Reagan and Thatcher told your parents that private corporations are (somehow) “more efficient” than state run organisations?
Yeah… they lied.
You need radical politics - not “progressive” ones. “Progressives” are far too easy to buy - or intimidate.
Nope. If you were to do something useful to it, though - like turning it into yoghurt or cheese - I might give it a try.
Leftists have always despised liberalism - and for pretty damn obvious reasons for anyone that has a basic understanding of what left and right actually means. Liberalism is a right-wing ideology that upholds capitalism, colonialism and white supremacism, all while having a recurring habit of enabling and supporting fascism at the drop of a hat when the precious liberal order is threatened by change from below.
So yeah - as far as leftists are concerned, the term liberal is as much of an insult as the term fascist is. There is even an old leftist saying, “kill the liberal inside your head” which sums up pretty nicely what leftists think of liberals and liberalism.
