Coincidentally, short term seasonal labor requirements and suicide rates overlap for the most part. This is how they’ll draw holiday labor, with the one employee benefit that lasts a lifetime, now with Prime.

This is too easy :

Give it a few more years before they’re upgraded to suicide booths....

The “orange red hue” around the sun has been around on other days and it is really pretty. I’ve been able to see more safely by using my phone to take pictures without looking directly at it.

Yup, the Global News report from 2018 seems to assume there’s a noticeable difference in light that would clue you into the location of the sun.

Seriously. The first half of my day yesterday felt like I’d woken up before 6 and the sun hadn’t even poked over the horizon yet, and the second half felt like I’d stayed at work 4 hours past my shift and it’d already settled below the horizon again. My coworker keeps using the phrase “perpetual sunset,” and it’s…

I came here to say this - I legitimately had no idea where it was, and don’t know whether I looked at it

It is a region where almost 8 million of people live and work, almost 2.5% of US population. Not some unusual place on the Moon.

Microwave a damp sponge for one minute on high or soak it in diluted bleach for one minute.

The saddest part is no one cares

Take that, grandma! (jk)

A little from column A, a little from column B.

He isn’t exactly asking for everyone... He is asking for himself and “hopes” it becomes open for others. He doesn’t care if it does or not. He gave them two weeks to decide, while they worked on all of this orchestrated BS. Epic is only interested in getting there first.

What’s with the anachronistic take of people getting color TVs in the 80s? Sure, B&W TVs existed, the TV my parents had in the kitchen was B&W, but, the main TV in the living room was color as far back as I could remember (which would have been in the 70s) and my family was lower middle class... Color TVs were pretty…

This is going to be one giant cluster fuck because there is always going to be some parent out there that will send their kid to school knowing full well that their child is sick. Its happened every flu season pre covid so you just know its going to happen this year except it will be with a far more deadly virus. 

My wife is a teacher and is waiting to see how the proposed hybrid concept will work once her district begins implementation.

Yeah I’m fucking terrified. Our kid is 1, but my wife is a Boston Public Schools teacher, and definitely not in one of the more... well funded schools. Many of her students live in multigenerational households and many of their parents work in high-contact jobs, like service, hospitality, and warehouses. I'm scared…

In the majority of places there is no hope of opening schools safely. In my area all the counties around me are going 100% online remote to begin the school year, and the others are offering it as an option for parents to choose. Pretending we can keep teachers, school workers, parents and grandparents safe with kids…
