Every time there's police violence or overreach or corruption or just plain old harrasment, you hear the chorus "it's just a few bad apples." Mother fucker, what is the saying about a few bad apples in a bunch. Is it "a few bad apples does nothing to the bunch actually" do we keep a spoiled bunch. Why has did it enter as an idiom to say a few bad apples for thin blue line types when cops do something horrible

Karl Marx, born on this day in 1818, was a foundational political theorist and journalist associated with the philosophy of Marxism.
Among Marx's best-known texts are the "The Communist Manifesto" and the three-volume "Das Kapital", in which he set out to define and explain the behavior of the capitalist mode of production.
Marx's political and philosophical thought have had enormous influence on subsequent intellectual, economic and political history, and his name has been used as an adjective, a noun, and a school of social theory.
Marx's critical theories about society, economics and politics - collectively understood as Marxism - hold that human societies develop through class conflict. In capitalism, this manifests itself in the conflict between the ruling classes (known as the bourgeoisie) that control the means of production, and the working classes (known as the proletariat) that enable these means by selling their labor power in return for wages.
Employing a critical approach known as historical materialism, Marx concluded that, like previous socio-economic systems, capitalism produced internal tensions which would lead to its self-destruction and replacement by a new system known as socialism.

Same way I've had chuds tell me that socialists are stupid for using the phrase "pull yourselves up by your bootstraps"
it is may 9 and stalin saved the world from fascism
pooooooop
piss
I love listening to your little piss-ant fascists trying to talk tough. They make me laugh. If Stalin were here, he'd laugh too.

I want to sleep, but I'm covering at at different location again and the managers from the other company here are ready to pounce on anyone from my company that is slacking so they can tattle on us
Been trying to figure out where I should move to. Im thinking either Denver or Minneapolis, definitely no where in the south because Im tired of it.
Im siding more with Minneapolis just cuz Im unskilled atm and its easier to be poor there

Mightve fucked up building my computer 
What happened?
Im currently trying to install my graphics card and I got the PCIe cable in but then realized there are 2 slots and I dont have another cable that goes from the CPU/PCIe part on the power supply to the graphics card
Im trying to see now if I need to buy another one or if this other cable that goes from the 12 V 2x6 part of the power supply can be used but that cable has a part that goes into the 12 V 2x6 slot and then splits into 2 8 prong cables that could go into the graphics card and all the tutorials say not to daisy chain the cables for the graphics card so I don't know if I can use it
And this isn't a modular PSU, right? Honestly if it isn't and the only option is to daisy chain it I wouldn't take the chance. Better to be safe than sorry, you don't want to damage your GPU because it'll be pretty expensive to replace with how the market is right now.
The power supply is "fully modular" and i definitely won't be doing anything risky until i know for sure I won't break something 
Im wondering if I can use the one cable I already have inserted and one of the cables from the joined cables thats connected to the 12 V and power it that way but I'm still looking on reddit and YouTube for answers
What model of power supply did you end up going with?
As an addendum to my other reply, 12V 2x6 is a new graphics card power cable standard pushed by Nvidia in the last few years because they keep making more and more power hungry cards. AMD cards like the Radeon you have are still using the 8 pin PCIe power cables. It seems that Corsair has chosen to handle the two graphics card companies using different cable standards by giving you the option of either powering an Nvidia card with the 12V 2x6 to 12V 2x6 cable or an AMD Radeon card with the 12V 2x6 to dual 8 pin PCIe cable.
Okay, and you have an XFX Speedster SWFT 210 Radeon RX 7600 XT, right? The single 12V 2x6 to dual 8 pin PCIe power cable will be fine. 12V 2x6 is designed to provide more power in a single cable than PCIe 8 pin. That's not daisy chaining, that's using the power supply and its supplied cables as intended.
Make sure all power cables are plugged in fully and snugly.
Just removed the old, single cable and added the cable that splits and connected the computer to my keyboard and monitor!
It's saying there's no Bootable device found so im currently trying to figure out why

You will have to work even as it collapses, sorry
If you wanted Tagle for the karaoke pope... welcome to the first day of the rest of your life.

oh snap, sorry for pope posting but I just found out I'm 2 degrees of Kevin Bacon away from the man. lol.
You both know that jesus fella?
Yeah, I guess that one is a pretty important link, but he also visited my country before so some people I know have met him.
One of my favorite songs rn is so random. Its from a Indiana Jones gameboy game, but it slaps hard
Holy shit lmao that rocks. Someone needs to sample that nasty beat. How can that possibly fit the vibe of an Indy game.

If you have been itching to play Deadlock but didn't want to play against the ~60 freaks still playing the alpha who know every single thing about the game, now could be a good time to get into it, they practically remade the item system and no one knows what they are doing
It is so hard to not make terrible jokes about the new pope and alter boys right now. Like, I know better and how we shouldn't joke about such things, but like I have not done enough self crit so they drive is there
14 years ago, I rented a 3 bedroom apartment for $700 a month π, I rented it just for myself. Didn't even have roommates.
Feels weird as I'm looking for places to rent today.
I keep accidentally becoming the summer intern lead, but totally fine with that. Itβs fun supervising low pressure projects. Also,I seem to be the only one on the team with realistic expectations of what summer students can do, so I feel it protects them a little bit for me to volunteer for it.
-Sees nice looking apartment at a reasonably priced rent
-Scheduling tour is relatively painless
-Get sent the application, which asks for rental offer
This is my first time seeing an application asking what you are offering to pay for rent. Considering the area and the amount of people that seem to be interested I have a feeling I'm going to be priced out of this one
