Your personal experience with the UAW is not enough data to declare “unions don’t work.” In the US, unions are responsible for some of the most rapid gains in worker benefits and improved quality of life in US history.

I love it when people treat their personal opinion as universal and then double down over and over again. Lots of people can’t stand vanilla ice cream, I can find you dozens of essays on why it’s garbage, and yet it’s ALSO the most popular flavor in the United States and has been for many decades.

DS9 launched during TNG’s run, and they overlapped a little more than a year. DS9 and Voyager overlapped for about 4.5 years. So there’s precedent for having multiple series running concurrently.

You clearly didn’t actually read the post you’re commenting on: pilots are not trained in a way that removes their susceptibility to optical illusions. Being accomplished at flying a plane does not automatically make you able to objectively identify aerial phenomena. Eyewitness testimony is the absolute worst possible…

Major “snake jazz” vibes for the Alligator Loki timeline. We should at least get a flash of that world in the season finale.

I think these tools are great, but only for evaluating the reverse question: is this company a good fit for me, the employee? If the company is gullible or negligent enough to employ one of these less than half-baked systems, why on Earth would I accept a job there? Late capitalism is bad enough without your employer a…

Why ask all those questions if I already gave you the answer: LibreOffice? MS Office has a place for very particular, very advanced functions that LibreOffice doesn’t cover. As I said.

“once again”? Join your local makerspace. That time is here and it’s never been better.

That’s on you for buying at the wrong place. There are ways to buy every smartphone out there totally unlocked - just never ever buy it from your service provider.

I honestly can’t believe people still use MS Office. In a world with Google Docs and LibreOffice, MS Office should ONLY be purchased by massive power users and clueless, too wealthy corporations.

Please point to the “winkingly playful” part of your original post. I don’t think that means what you think it means.

“Not sure how that rises to the level of a phobia”

Coal is literally no one’s “best option.” Read a book, dawg.

Usually they’re warning of orchestrated shutdowns. They’re monitoring the grid, and they’ll start to take things offline to protect the infrastructure from an uncontrolled collapse, which is much more expensive to recover from.

No one’s ever gonna touch your dick for you, baby boy. Be very clear that it’s not the rest of the world: it’s you.

Tim, I know it’s you again, and I’ve already reached out to your mother. Say goodbye to your Fortnight privileges again, you little edgelord scamp!

Gosh, wouldn’t it be terrible if people continued to DDOS Kiwi Farms so they can never come back up? Or if a loud public campaign led to all the major webhosts denying them service? And I definitely don’t pray that someone doxxes the people who fund and run the site in order to ensure their lives never have a moment…

“Police officer” isn’t even in the top ten most dangerous professions in America. It’s at least 6 times more dangerous to be a fisherman than to be a police officer, and fishermen manage not to murder people on a regular basis. So I don’t know about the whole “they’re so frightened they have to shoot first and ask…

The fact that a job is “challenging” is not an excuse to execute people, nor does it excuse the fact that cops constantly cover up misconduct, and retaliate against those who refuse to cover up misconduct. All cops are bastards because they behave worse than the Catholic church in terms of defending the violent…

I thought this episode was 10 times better than episode 1. I recognize, however, that there are many different constituencies that Rick and Morty appeals to, and they all like different aspects of the show (for example, the range that people fall into on the Roiland-Harmon spectrum). I’d recommend getting used to the…
