What are we to say of all the shades in between Black and White? Do we not have half black people, half white people, half brown people, etc? And how white is a white person if one person in the family tree isn't white?
It's up to you to not reduce things to dichotomous thinking. It's a useful shorthand when everyone understands it's just shorthand. Once you mistake the absolute most reductive way of thinking about it for the whole picture you're going to get lost.
And yes, the Portuguese are not blameless. They did their part to create the tensions we have today. I guess all I have to say is it's good to know where you came from, but like, the only thing changing is the future, so maybe focus on what you can do about it?

Had to keep the powder dry for the right moment. They're ready to shoot their shot.
Until you read the contract and understand the compromises at the negotiating table, all you can do is place faith in the negotiators that they did the best job possible with the limited power, time, and resources they had.
Larssen, these are nuances to the power balance that are good to consider, but I think too complicated an analysis for Dilbert to understand that sometimes suboptimal choices are the only path forward.
I agree--there is a lot more going on than the EU being completely powerless. There is the long-term relationship. There is the buying power created by bargaining as a block. There is the preferability of first signing deals with customers with good credit and deep pockets.
We'd risk imploding this forum if we had to set out these nuances.
EDIT - BTW, that was always what Uzi tried to do in 1 post, and then he'd freak out when people didn't spend 30min considering his essays and responding to each point like for like. Which, btw, if you did do he would devolve into appeals to authority and ad hominem attacks--the thoughts put down initially were as deep as it ran.

So we're agreed, the EU signed a bum contract.
A crappy deal is better than a no deal in a situation where you have no choice but to take a suboptimal path?
What are you saying Dilbert? They should have not signed and let everyone die from COVID-19? What type of principled stance is that? Do the principles matter if you're dead? Would the public be happy you decided for everyone else that the principle of rightness mattered more than the imperitive of self preservation?
Contract negotiation works like any other negotiation--you have to recognize what bargaining power someone has due to power asymmetry.
In this case, it is obvious that if governments put in non-performance penalties, the drug makers would say "lol, ok, we got like literally every other country in the world looking for a deal with us, so like, nah bro, we got other options. We'll send notice if we want to come back to the table".
That's why it's called "negotiating a contract."

Dilbert, you appear to be drifting backwards in your spin at an increasing rate of decay re: what is ethnicity and race.
For your consideration:
1.) The Irish were not considered to be "white" until the late 1800s
2.) The Italians were not considered to be "white" until the mid 1950s
3.) In 2020, I took a work demographic survey which had separate ethnicity categories for "Caucasian" and "Portuguese". I expect this means I am not "white"
What am I telling you, Dilbert? That it's a moving target, and for a guy who thinks there are no facts, you really are setting up the concept of "whiteness" as an absolute. I suggest you think on it.

That is where things were when Robinhood was front-running trades (selling trade instructions to brokers so they can buy at a slightly lower price, often pennies, to squeeze value through huge volume. For reference, this is 40% of RH revenue stream).
We are now at that the point that the brokers are not allowing buy instructions on these stocks, but sell instructions are still fine.
There is already a class action from the RH investors over this. The US congress wants a commission hearing.
We're only starting to wade into what wealth inequality means in the modern world. People are suggesting it's a prisoner's dilemma for the poor where they will turn on each other. These suggestions are misguided, because if you understand the assumptions of the prisoner's dilemma, you know that necessary to the metaphor is the inability of the prisoners to communicate and optimize win-win scenarios. Social media is that communication in our case here. WSB is done, but what are they going to do? Shut down Reddit? Facebook? Instagram? This is that big a problem.
EDIT - If that's not clear, here's a video that explains exactly what happens when the prisoners can talk:

Sorry, I should be less opaque to actually support a discussion. What I mean to say is you don't get to ask for it, and then when it happens claim that's not what you meant. It doesn't work that way, in sane conversations, anyways.
The only thing that is regrettable is that /u/DeepFuckingValue put up horrible DD to convince less sophisticated investors that GME was viable for the short to medium term. There's a video of his face, and he's the guy who will take the fall for this, even though the DD was publicly posted for conversational purposes, and no different an effort at stock manipulation than the Hedges getting on the news telling people the positions they have shorts on to suggest those companies are failing. It is the same. The playbook got used by a retail investor, and they executed well enough to get critical mass to exploit a float volume issue in shorted low-value high-visibility stocks.
It looks bad, but for real, this is fair play. I stand by that.
Also, in the interest of full disclosure so you know where I'm coming from, I've been an active member of WSB for about 3 years. And for what it's worth, the media's hot takes on the culture there are hilariously inaccurate, willfully or ignorantly. Of course, the owners of those media companies might have something on the line here. I don't know for sure, but I have a guess.

Capitalism teaches us that greed is good. It's literally the doctrine taught to children to avoid scary ideas like sharing too much, which could result in insane things like socialism or communism. I'm not saying the pendulum should swing 100% in the other direction (towards sharing as a core principle), but I am saying the pendulum is so abjectly skewed towards greed, that, well, we have...abject power asymmetry.
I genuinely believe people are starting to see this, to an extent. Where it will go, who knows, but I see the problem being presented in an extremely visceral way through the looking glass of the pandemic.

All fair assessment. What I'd suggest is a degree of professional detachment from these situations. Executioner of Paris style. Don't make it a personal problem that stresses you out. Often engineers are extremely prideful of their work, and it leads to them taking huge amounts of ownership that really just leads to stress and burn out. This is/was the central conceit of the Dilbert comics you've named yourself after. Self preservation is an instinct that has to be in place--you've made clear you know the management team will turf you the second they get down wind of the negativity.
This all sounds like pithy cliché, but for real, it's the business survival playbook.

Here's a wild one for your reading pleasure (please note I am doing this to show how debased these theories get almost immediately):
1.) Elon Musk is developing Neuralink to create a computer-brain connection for information transfer
2.) If information can be input, in theory it can also be output
3.) The CIA is often 20-30 years ahead of commercial technology.
4.) The CIA is known to send ideas to industry that it wants to test the reception of and limit the risk of a leak revealing their capacity
5.) Elon Musk runs a highly visible engineering company that can test public acceptance
6.) The Chinese won't know the Americans can already read their minds and influence them using this information.
Please note I do not believe this. But it's that easy.

Nah, GME is done. BB or AMC is next. Timing will be 2 weeks from now for the migration, approximately. I'm not American and don't options trade in my cash accounts, but I'd be looking at BB OTM calls with a strike date about 3 weeks from now. I bet the premiums are nuts. Or just sell those options and hedge, make money on the volume. Whatever.
We're at that point where floating along until the end of the pandemic isn't going to cut it for management bonuses to roll. They see the C-suite getting angry that they can't buy another car this year, and the pinch is being passed down the line. As the pressure builds from the top, the folks at the bottom will either become diamonds or dust from the stress.

All you need is loadable dumbells that use olympic plates. The weight can generally be bought for around $1/pound, and makes microloading way simpler. These are the absolute Cadillac, but any similar loadable dumbell will do the job:

Fountain is another fine example, sure. I think the basic difference here is that I don't necessarily need enjoyable music to shift/advance whatever paradigm it is working within, as you appear to be suggesting as a measuring stick for whatever it is we're trying to arrive at.
I know it's time to end things when Shahter says something that approximates a point. But, as a parting shot for Shahter, let's not suggest that the study of art--in its various forms--has seen no critical advancements from "everything is subjective." I know you need to watch over your shoulder for the door knock from the FSB, but western critical thought took some good ideas from the east and moved forward in the last roughly 30-40 years. Appreciate Russia's contribution, and expect no acknowledgment that the debate might have moved on.

No argument--the remixes referred to are indeed more complex and creatively deep. I'd propose only a simple question for your consideration: would you have thought to overlay Kendrick's gritty vocals with what is arguably Aphex Twin's most emotionally evocative composition? My point is that if Warhol can take a can of fucking soup and have revered as art, I'm willing to make a stretch for this.
Ah, I knew we'd get into posting random artists to make a point.
So, as is tradition at BF2S, here's my contribution to "OmFg!!!!" mash-ups with zero shelf life. You might recognize the song as having launched an entire career, and it happened without an ounce of original music being included. Admittedly, this is many times more complex than the Kanye mash-up, but I think we're talking about the general value of remixes here, so I'm calling it fair play:
I've finished my breakfast grapefruit and have things to do this morning, but I'll be back later tonight to consider why my taste in music is bad, I should feel bad, and am likely a bad person for having brought this to the table.

Just like tomato ketchup, after eating 808s and Heartbreak for while it's a nice change.
Is the emotional response complex? No. Not at all. Like a lot of hip hop it pretty much ends at "damn, that's fucking fire". Like a good dance track that elevates the mood. Maybe it's the contrast between the back-track and the lyrical delivery. Maybe it's the easy digestibility. Maybe it's just that it's a new way to hear an old banger.
I don't even want to know how you feel about collages in visual art.

I'm familiar with how the track was produced. The assumptions are not valid (thanks for confirming), yet you double down by again pointing to the simplicity of the composition. See recently discarded assumption #1, and extrapolate to what my concern might be.
What I am most amazed with, really, is that a dude who greatly enjoys what is perhaps the least accessible and opaque electronic music with ultra-minimalist arrangements can be so confused as to how someone else can like...something simple.
I understand you don't like hip hop, generally. I do. There is no deeper criticism to be had.

i also really don’t like kendrick’s voice, never have. sounds like he is constantly hyperventilating or gulping for air. it’s a really good match for that, er, lachrymose piano melody.
1.) Appreciable art is based in the difficulty of the composition
2.) Creative value is determined by the degree of abstraction from the original muse/starting point
3.) Lyrics delivered by voices with imperfections are undesirable
