World consolidation into a few Mega States?

The whole concept of "NSFW" kind of presupposes that a non-negligible amount of people will be at least occasionally looking at a given website during the workday...

Not me, i actually work when working unlike you slack asses.

What is this 'work'?

What is this 'work'?

It's like when you have to do something you don't want to do but get paid for it.

Yeah, I don't come up for air until I get in the truck to drive home. Sure beats what I was doing before August though.

If you have time for Languish at work, you're doing it wrong.

Actually I think you are very confused on that point.

Fine. If you have time for Languish at work, then *I'm* doing it wrong.

Actually, it's more like, "If you have time for Languish at work, then your boss is doing it wrong".  Of course, if you're self-employed, that doesn't apply, but give it time.  With a work ethic like that, you will be working for someone else soon enough.

for you maybe. I like my jobs.

I like my job too, but luckily taking breaks every so often is perfectly acceptable.

I don't dislike it but there's a lot I have to do that I don't want to. Like dealing with unnecessary bullshit.

It'll be interesting to see  when you're in a position to affect it - will you expend political capital to minimise the bullshit affecting people below you; or will you pass it down the line feeling good because if you did your time, they can do theirs.

On the plus side, we will all be Comcast customers soon.

On the plus side, we will all be Comcast customers soon.

And all restaurants will be Taco Bell.

Well, I do try to minimize the bullshit for those working under my direction now. Unfortunately though, they don't report directly to me, so I can only do so much.

That said, I already don't have time for people who complain they are too busy and that it is extreme to ask them to sometimes work more than 40 hours a week. I do want to say - bucko, you don't even know what busy is.

Why didn't the big countries assimilate the small countries?
Why are there all these small countries without armies that survived through history?

I mean, I understand the current world order, that if you invade a country you get isolated and probably invaded (Iraq in Kuwait, Serbia in Bosnia).
But why didn't all the big states assimilate the little ones long before the 20th century?
It would have been the natural course of history after the creation of the nation-states.

They did. Look at the map of the world in 1914. As for the micro-states, nobody took them seriously as countries.
