your concerts can have opening acts by “Banned By Twitter” and “Nextdoor Nazis”.

Aside from the Catholic-like restrictions against vaccines that *might* have been developed using stem cells, and possible non-kosher ingredient restrictions, I have yet to see any valid *religious exemption* against vaccination. Merely claiming that since God didn’t make it so it’s against your religion to get the…

my coworker went on a rant recently about “why can the government TELL us that we HAVE to put something into our bodies”, I pointed out that when I was a kid my parents were “forced” to take me to the Dr to get vaccinations for all kinds of things before I was even allowed to set foot into public school... he trailed…

it’s only a handout when it is given to someone else... Making them accountable for their own actions is obviously Communism or something and can’t be allowed.

sorry, “love thy neighbor” only applies when the neighbor in question looks, acts, and believes like me...
</sarcasm>

Ah, but Jesus DID say “don’t be a douche”, so they need to shut up and behave like a good Christian...

Yeah, my dad tried that argument a while back and I had to remind him that when HE spent a couple semesters in college back in late 70's early 80's at only $300 a semester, his $5 an hour job went a LOT further. Plus the fact that the first house he bought (in 1982) cost less than a car does these days. Still didn’t…

It’s a good thing for now, but unless the minimum wage gets raised to match the new level the pay will start to slide back down soon. Businesses will always find a way to pay the legal minimum somehow...

Agreed. The menu prices aren’t magically going to triple if wages increase (no matter how much scaremongering people do) and if a business relies on paying workers next to nothing in order to get by then they really need to re-evaluate their business plans.

it always cracks me up when people point to the $7.25 minimum wage and say it’s intended for high-school age kids to earn, not for adults to try to survive or raise a family on... while they go to fast food places during lunch, shop at WalMart during a quick work break, and go see a matinee movie in the middle of…

First Facebook, then Amazon, now Lifehacker is reading my mind and offering articles (at least not ads) based on discussions I have had recently... just yesterday I was mentioning to my boss that my recent work Macbook was having really bad keyboard “bounces” and double/triple letters.

Anyone down for Delta Plus and Chill?

The fact that vaccinated people are getting sick is sadly fodder for the anti-vax crowd to claim the vaccine doesn’t work. They are completely ignoring the reduction in hospitalization/death that the vaccine is scientifically showing, while claiming they “follow the science” as they refuse to mask up or get vaccinated.

Thanks, you too.

yep, since they blocked spectators the tourism drop has hurt them bad. Now there are advertisers pulling out or refusing to run ads related to the Olympics too.

A conscience? Nah, they figured out that having to cancel games in 2020 was costing them $$$ so now they are doing everything they can to not have to cancel games this season. This puts any blame for cancellations directly on the teams/players who decide not to vaccinate.

I have sympathy for the athletes who have worked so hard for years only to have a pandemic screw up their changes last year, but I will be choosing not to watch this year since the committee decided to go ahead with a huge multi-national event during a pandemic.

so... Players of a game are mad at a company about not taking action to remove references to an employee accused of (rather disgusting) sexual misconduct. To show their anger, they are... putting up signs in the game? If only there was another option that would have more immediate effects on the company in question,…

Luckily my work does not use Windows Print Servers anymore so we were able to quickly shut down Spooler. I have not seen any suggested workaround aside from “turn off the service”, so I wonder what the path is for shops that use Windows to manage printers - either swap to a different print server or just hope any…
