If your gigantic employer wants something from the government, 99.9% it is going to be bad for you. 

I hope this underhanded shite ends up costing Postmates more in lost revenue and bad press than it would have cost to treat their employees like human beings.

I wouldn’t say “deserves.” It’s stupid, for sure, but the whole point of many of our laws is to protect people from companies and other individuals trying to prey on them, the only difference now is companies have *so many* more options when it comes to trying to get you to sign away your future, and the government is…

Neoliberalism does not mean what you think it means.

I have not tried that! Rubbing alcohol dries quickly, doesn’t clog spray-bottle nozzles, and may be preferable for use on some surfaces (carpets?). Luckily I don’t live somewhere with a ton of roaches right now, so it will be a while before I see how effective it is.

The myth of anything being apolitical is just that. We’re not free from politics until we’re dead, and possibly not even then.

This is not an effective method of killing large numbers of roaches if they are hiding in your walls, but soap suds or a spray-bottle filled with soapy water kills roaches pretty quickly (within minutes). The soap coats their body and suffocates them to death.

They’re still not foot proof.

I believe the term you are looking for is “clickbait.”

That’s what I’m thinking too. I stream things when I work.
Hey, is there a difference between watching news shows, reality shows, and general scripted television, so that we know which type of television is worse for us? We need to know.

But what about siting at my work computer and watching TV though it? Am I dead? I’m dead.

“freedom gas” full of—I feel stupid even typing this—“molecules of U.S. freedom.”

This isn’t more competition. Competition requires that multiple independent entities offering the SAME product. Nobody but Disney is going to be offering what Disney owns.

“Every taxi fare from JFK to Manhattan costs $52. No matter what. How is that not price-fixing?”

I was trimming my beard from long-ish to short, and had to step away for a moment to check on what my kid was up to. I had trimmed everything except for the patch right under my nose. My wife laughed at my unshaven Hitler mustache and wanted to take a picture. I didn’t let her do it. In this day and age, it’s not a…

Here is an example of the same idea played out in the pltuo-charon binary. See how Pluto wobbles?

It sounds like the outer pair likely orbits the inner pair, though it is likely the barycenter is probably slightly off.

On the other hand, local vendors prevent foreign companies from extracting more wealth out of the country. Indian consumers work for Indian vendors, not ones in Seattle or Bentonville.

Too bad the bison didn’t finish him off. Would’ve been a great Darwin Award candidate.
