I think it’s more to do with that if the collective workers vote to become a union or not, and succeeds in that vote, then the owner/company must recognize them as the union and engage in negotiations as such.

If the vote of the workers fails to choose to unionize…well usually that means the people who tried to organize it get fired because there’s no union

We shit on ‘upselling’ all the time. If you cleaned those pages, pressed them back and touched up the spine of the book, sure. But I’d be annoyed too if there was a 500% markup on a resale of used material

Won the vote to organize a union, something that has to be done in the U.S.

For me, this is one of the episodes they talk about when they say they worry they go too far parody that they lose the ‘tone’. I still like the episode, but it’s because Dennis and Frank bits fucking kill me. The way he holds this cat, man!

I agree in that it doesn’t need to be required, but I think you’re leaving money on the table and intentionally limiting who can experience the art you’re trying to share with the world.

You don’t HAVE to include more than the basic colorblind option and maybe some extra visual cues, but games that go farther and allow more people to enjoy their product are better products for it.

Souls games are great. I don’t want to ‘get gud’ so I haven’t bought one ever, and with no difficulty drop I probably never will. I don’t have time for that. It’s not a bad game because they don’t have features to make it more accessible to me, but it COULD be a better game if they did.

At first I thought it had to do with lootbox mechanics and scheduling and reward system gaming, but nope, this one was straight up just “he played vidja too much and I’m afraid of him when I take away his games”

When I’m feeling particularly spiteful, I quick apply to hybrid jobs I see that aren’t hybrid and waste time until I get an email from the hiring manager about a first call. Then I tell them I just wanted to be sure they knew they had an incorrect posting and that I wasn’t interested in a company that didn’t understand modern workforce trends at best, maliciously baiting and switching at worst.

So far, 1 company has changed their wording, of maybe 20 I’ve gotten this far with

Subscription services*

? You don’t mount your rig on the ceiling? Okay, Neanderthal.

What the fuck is this picture though? Who is taking these? What do they mean?

Honestly windows is so slow at this point, we just use door. Why waste all that energy and power just to get the thing off the ground when alternatives exist?

Yeah I’m big on shutting down anti-consumer practices. I don’t want to restrict people’s ability to shift around their inventory, but if you’re heat mapping and psych consulting to boost the time people are lingering, it toes a line.

A really great classic copypasta

I think maybe it’s pointless in the sense that the average shopper doesn’t think it influences them. Statistically, it does, but they may not feel like it does.

It’s still shitty, regardless of how effective it may appear. There’s a reason the common items are always spread out, as I’m sure you know. Can’t have someone grabbing milk, cheese, eggs, bread, and fruit all from the same section, then they’d miss the donuts and the cakes and the frozen pizas and the ‘managers discount’ almost expired meat section (I like almost expired meat, I’m poor too, but still)

Oh that I couldn’t answer. They probably are referencing a study where those options were listed. A lot of practicing Christians I know aren’t even positive what they declare so they just put down non-denominational, I’m assuming ‘Christian’ was another good catch-all term that nabbed anyone who had a general belief in Christ but no organized practice of that belief.

Shit in my comment I forgot all about Adventists and pentecostal. Oh jeez, let’s hope the singular group that makes it to heaven takes mercy on my failure to include them.

Oh American christianity is something different as a whole.

I’ll give my best summary in as few words as I can during my lunch.

Christianity is an Abrahamic faith with its roots in catholicism. When Martin Luther, a catholic from Germany, wrote a large 95 point thesis detailing his problems with catholicism and how the church had been warped from its intention, this lead to whay most modern Americans would call Lutheranism.

This reformation of the church that started with Martin Luther is known as the Protestant Reformation, protestants being anyone who believed in Christ but not in the orthodox or catholic belief set and rites.

The separation of that faith and the pursuit to practice it openly (sometimes even if it was MORE restrictive than the existing systems) led to the exodus of religious groups to America. This is where some Americans get the idea that “america was founded on Christianity and religious freedom”, as these were protestants who were escaping religious persecution for rejecting mainline catholicism.

Some time down the line, I don’t know the history of this part, the general term for anyone believing in christ but not catholicism (some going as far as saying lutheranism is catholic-lite as they still practiced communion and most protestants don’t recognize communion or any of the ‘rites’ as those are things they see as placed on top of religion by man and not by God) was just left at Christians.

For all intents and purposes, in the US, Christian mostly means Protestant, methodist, Lutheran, Baptist, Southern Baptist (they’re separate, I was raised Southern Baptist, they get pissy about being lumped in), calvinist, and non-denominational (people who don’t claim a ‘branch’ but worship christ in a way not easily or intentionally not tied to a singular rhetoric.

Please ask more questions and I’ll try my best. Having been born to a Southern Baptist family, it’s a topic I love to discuss and learn more on. I’m not religious though, so hopefully none of my stuff comes off disrespectful, just happens to be a family trade I can’t quite put down.

I know not of who you speak, but have you considered that it’s mosquitoes making accounts to defend themselves?

But how does that make any sense in regards to trans issues?

Like, I’d get if maybe some laws weren’t being brought to vote because it doesn’t fit the agenda for the day, but do you really think all 3 branches of our government are so embroiled in lgbtq+ issues that they aren’t making other laws? How does what politicians are discussing on social media or on television affect whether a regulatory agency is going to open their eyes and prosecute when things are put on their desk? Is the SEC (not the government, but the governments enforcers) discussing trans medicine this whole time instead of intentionally looking away from white collar theft?

Little Debbie was grinning something awful though.
