Yup. I’ll be honest, that I can only think of one major company that from what I have heard treats their employees well and seems to genuinely care, not only that they can live, but that they get an actual slice of the pie from the work they do, and that is Costco. There is no ethical capitalism. We have to live in it…

Yeah, that is literally how this works. If you want to blame anyone, blame the republican party for pushing for right to work laws and gutting all unions and collective bargaining. And trust me on this, sexual harassers in the work place will still be punished way less than any other infraction by a large margin.

Almost zero companies actually care about their employees. They care about how much labor they can steal for as little pay as possible without it getting out how bad they are. Saying a company shouldn’t do this shitty practice is like saying a bear shouldn’t hibernate. Companies exist to exploit labor and consumers…

I’d rather have unions than having all employees being eaten up and shit out by heartless bosses.

Sadly, I have given up on ever seeing the books finished by GRRM in my lifetime. It’s frustrating to me that this is what we get.

No chance. It was made pretty clear (IIRC) that the eggs Dany had were the last known ones and everyone thought they were bunk anyways. I don’t see any way they introduce a Deus Eggs Machina (pun intended) that big this late in the series. She’s got one left and it will be dead before the series ends whether Dany wins…

I echo this as well. I still watch and generally enjoy it, but upon a second viewing I start to see the cracks in each episode. I am just ready for it to be done.

“Well done steak” actually means “hour old Whopper” in White House parlance.

“You are why the gaming community gets a bad name.”

That is insanely dumb. I worked at a movie theater all through high school then ran one in college. I literally went about 7 years without ever paying to see a movie and some of them were some of the worst movies I have ever seen (looking at you Thinner). You’re goddam right I am going to critique a bad movie, whether…

I’m torn between people who freak out over spoilers more than a month after the movie has released and the people who say you shouldn’t criticize blockbuster tentpole movies because they are supposed to just be fun.

*donating

So since she is using the speech in her song to try to give a “voice to marginalized people” she is also donated all the profits from the song to said marginalized people...right...right?

Florida is actually already a sanctuary for any fuckup from the northeast/midwest looking to run away from any and all problems they may have run into up there. If they kicked out all the actual criminals who are not from Florida originally who have moved there, the state would have no one in it.

Grifters gotta grift.

Lol at teachers having powerful unions. Most states have gutted teachers unions to the point of non-existence. The reason teachers never go anywhere is because no one wants to do the fucking job. The pay sucks ass, you get treated like shit by the general public (and assholes online), and are abused by students daily.…

I started my teaching career as a substitute in Florida and then left because I saw the educational atmosphere was toxic as hell (especially in the charter district I was teaching in). The state I teach in now is still not the best, but I have my masters now and absolute job security. There is no way in hell I would…

Holy shit, that second guy is awful. And I get that if your sense of humor can pull it off and you know the other person won’t run away, it is not the end of the world to tell someone you have a crush on them. However, you better be damn sure. I know quite a few women who would run away quickly if a guy they barely…

Yeah, I definitely have women that I would consider that I have a “crush” on them, but they are women that I would never act on that crush (i.e. coworkers). I never use the word “crush” out loud regarding it though.

To be fair, we literally know nothing about this friend, except that they were in the military. It is not necessarily fair to assume this person came back broken just because they were in the military. Literally hundreds of thousands of people enter and leave the military without ever seeing combat and are completely…
