I'd recommend considering using Balabolka as a TTS generator because if you go to Tools > Use online TTS service you can select IBM Watson as the TTS engine (and it bypass the word limit restrictions.)

I think that Michael is my preferred TTS option for Watson but it's been a while. Whatever the case, Watson is far and away the most listenable TTS that I've come across.

Lmk if you want screenshots because the Balabolka UI is a bit clunky.

"Honestly, my stance on this isn't gonna change. If people felt like we weren't taking care of them, yeah, I would feel like we failed. If you wanna interpret that as a bad thing, you can, but you're reaching pretty hard."

Yeah, I'd say it's about time for LTT staff to unionise.

I think that "taking care of people" smacks of the same rhetoric as "we're like a family" and "I like to think that all staff are considered equals here" and just about any other lie I've heard from exploitative upper management types.

I never trusted Raddle back when I was an anarchist and why would you with a dev who acts like this?

Monopoly is the menace of free enterprise!!

Yikes! If this kid's an anarchist then he's the wrong type of anarchist...

The worker's councils were recreating the basis of capitalism and interfering with regional and national interests in favour of their own petit-bourgeois aspirations. They wanted to become a labour aristocracy and they threatened the economic foundations of proletarian democracy with their narrow, self-interested trade union consciousness. Yugoslavia's model is a perfect example of what would have happened if this was allowed to proliferate and to threaten the revolution.

If the Mensheviks didn't want to get outlawed then maybe they shouldn't have aligned themselves with the interests of the aristocracy and the Kadets over the proletariat 🤷‍♂️

Imagine being salty that the October Revolution overthrew the bourgeois Provisional Government. The soviets had established themselves as the legitimate organ of proletarian power and they seized political power because the Mensheviks and the Constitutional Democrats did not represent them.

Lol, I'll bite. How do you think that Lenin strangled the revolution in the cradle?

Her ex-husband was supposed to be eating with the others who were poisoned (who happened to be the ex-husband's parents and aunt) but he didn't make it there.

Keep in mind, however, that this is a small regional community in Australia so the likelihood of people being part of extended family relations like this is much more likely to occur.

The ex-husband got very sick on a different occasion where he had a "mystery" bout of severe gastroenteritis where he was in a critical condition and put into an induced coma and at two points his loved ones were brought in to say their farewells to him because they thought that he wasn't going to pull through, although after a few weeks he managed to recover.

I'm not sure which meme you're referring to but he did appear on Dr Phil one time over allegations that he blew up his neighbours' swingset, not even kidding:

There's Black Red Guard on YouTube, who is a Maoist. Just don't go to him for his takes on swingsets 💀
