"eye in the sky traffic update: looks like a medium sized dumpster fell off a truck and is obstructing the east bound lane. Take care when driving in that area, looks like the road crews haven't arrived yet. "
Usually it's people who still buy the "if I work really hard to impress my boss I'll get a piece of the pie one day" stuff.
(Edit: the opposite is usually true. If you're too productive at your lower level job they won't want to promote you because it would affect the numbers that management takes credit for. Saying in my trade: "if you get promoted it's because you can't insulate but the boss likes you")
They see the union as a way for the undeserving workers to get a leg up while also removing their ability to be chosen by the boss to ascend to management
Who? Sorry all US presidents look the same to me
If it's human nature not to cooperate we should build a societal mechanism that mandates and facilitates cooperation.... Ah shit even if I indulge the stupid human nature falsity I'm still a commie
Hitting an executive function wall at exactly 2 hours into my shift: "did i forget my meds or is today one of those days"
Fuck me I'm crying at work
I remember thinking the split keyboards were so cool but we never got one.
obviously i cant fucking drive
You can as long as you don't get pulled over! I didn't think I've ever not driven myself to renew my expired license or insurance.
Notoriously I'm dumb as hell though
Fuck yeah banana bread unironically though
It's cool and all that Biden has ass cancer but these days i can't get that excited about a ghoul living a long, full, influential life. Even if it's the most painful shit in the world he's probably just going to spend the majority of the time drugged beyond belief. Meh
So the reasoning is that, because the cost of the attack is reduced, the cost of the additional ability is reduced as well this is because they are the same cost. This is not intuitive at all but hey thems the breaks
Haha, yeah, stop for a second to check my phone...
I definitely did that
You're the only other person to mention getting one! Do you have any strategies? Mine is to fuss with it so much that it becomes inflamed and more annoying
The one thing I've never understood about my fellow straights is how they can find the vagina so disgusting....
I'm almost certain I've seen this exact meme but leftist and liberal are exactly swapped. Pretty sure it was years ago, too
So far showing people that I'm officially a Pokemon TCG professor/judge had gone way better than expected even the old men at work think it's kinda neat
I farted in a room i was working on before i walked somewhere else. Another worker went into the room after and loudly gagged and shouted "what the fuck"
Should I claim responsibility or continue to stalk the construction site
Falun Gong/dafa had a very large presence at my local may days parade. I realize i don't have much concrete knowledge on the subject. Any reading recommendations?
Talking with my wife after all i could really come up with was them being compradors and i felt pretty silly taking out of my ass
In Defense of Cheap Things (if things get more expensive, people won't be able to afford them. That's it that's the article)
But I think some of the anti-consumerism is driven by less noble motives. The wealthier you are, the more accessible the alternatives are to buying things off Amazon. You can afford to get products custom-made for you, or make them yourself; you have more leisure time to go pick things up off Facebook Marketplace or drive up and down half the coast thrift shopping.

Most people can’t. For them, the ability to purchase cheap consumer products at affordable prices is life-changing. And I think that, as the Trump administration tries to rationalize its tariffs by assuring us that we don’t need affordable goods, it’s high time to acknowledge that, in fact, it is a good thing when goods are affordable.
If amazon didn't provide cheap treats for the poors, they'd have no treats at all!
I think it’s good when consumer goods are affordable; I think it’s good when people on a very limited income can still buy a pile of Christmas presents for their kids; I think it’s good that people
I definitely skipped one of the vaccines i was supposed to get during highschool and managed to get my card signed anyway... How do i find out if it was measles?
Can i just get another MMR vaccine and it'll be fine if i did get it? Early 2000's
NFL will remove 'End Racism' from the end zones ahead of Super Bowl (will be replaced with 'choose love' as an attempt to play both sides)
The NFL will remove the words "End Racism" from the end zones at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans ahead of the Super Bowl on Sunday, the NFL confirmed to NBC News. Instead, the field will have stencils of the phrase "Choose Love" as the Kansas City Chiefs take on the Philadelphia Eagles, NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said in a statement on Tuesday. Throughout the 2024-2025 season, NFL teams have advertised pro-diversity slogans at their stadiums and on their uniforms. The field stencils have been a part of the league since 2020, McCarthy said. "Teams have used on the field this year 'Vote,' 'End Racism,' 'Stop Hate,' and 'Choose Love.' This is part of the NFL’s Inspire Change," he said. At their championship games on Jan. 26, the Chiefs had "Choose Love" in their end zone and the Eagles had "End Racism," respectively. The NFL said Tuesday that it would only have stenciling of the phrase "Choose Love." Sunday's game will now be the first Super Bowl since February 2021 that "End Racism"
I would prefer if only actual parents replied to this thread. question in body.
picture unrelated but it makes me happy to look at ::: spoiler climate doomerism How do you cope with the impending climate collapse? I try so hard to just keep on going one day at a time but sometimes I get so deep in the darkness I have to go out and grab a coffee or something to keep my kid from seeing my mood and asking what's wrong.
I don't see the world being a good place for them to live by the time they're an adult and I feel intense guilt for bringing them into such a world. I've got plenty of arguments against antinatalism, I have plenty of theoretical reasons why people should continue to have children (only the fash having kids seems like a bad thing) but at the end of the day I feel like they will resent having been born when they find out that I was well aware of the state of the world at the time.
Sorry for the bad vibes. :::
If you don't have kids and reply I might get upset but I'll try to just ignore you
Has anybody seen severance? The TV show
I just finished watching it and as someone who rarely enjoys television shows i think it was amazing and thought provoking. What do you all think?
Also, does anyone know of a place that discusses the show from a marxist perspective? I'm kind of obsessed but would rather not listen to some lib brained shit if I don't have to.
