What happens to your skeletal system from cutting bushes and smashing pots.

ShaggySnacks ,

You could drive a hot dog or a pickle car....or you could drive a bi-plane car or tank that is attached to a steamroller tractor or a car made out of wood with saws.

ShaggySnacks ,

If my options are crash and burn in an:

  • An ordinary car, or
  • A Telsa, or
  • Wacky Race car

I am going to take the Wacky Race car. At least, there's going to be a good story out of my death.

This somewhat happened to me. I applied to teach at a college. A bout a year and half later they call me up asking if I was still interested.

I say yes, get the job. New dean comes and then tells me that they have no positions available for me.

Milk is for babies. When you grow up you have to drink beer.

You can be a trained retail worker in a few hours in most cases. Same with many farming jobs. Same with working the line at fast food

Retail workers have to deal with irate customers, develop product knowledge, and how to sell items.
Fast food workers need to learn how to work as a team, make the food at a consist quality, and juggle multiple orders at once.

As for farm workers, if they are working with animals: how to read the animals for their behavior, treat minor injuries of animals, and how to manage animals.

I will agree that all labor deserve a living wage.

    However, now that Trump was elected president, the establishment is trying to publicly align itself with Trump while marginalizing those who truly support Trump's agenda. One can see this in the fact that President Trump appointed many liberals and globalists – such as Gary Cohn, H.R. McMaster, and Jared Kushner

    That's right, Trump's own son in law is not MAGA enough.

    It is on course for conservatives. It's all about their freedom of speech not anyone else's freedom of speech.

    It's people downvoting because "Religion = bad".

    When in reality it should be "Religion = institutions and institutions can be either good or bad or mix of both."

    Edit: Spelling

    ShaggySnacks ,

    That's cause you're not going going form an "union". You are going to form a "The True Patriots" or "The Fighters of Freedom" or "Drain the Swamp: Company Edition" or whatever conservative jargon that gets buy in.

    It's a weird circumstance that this organization does everything an union does.

    "Don't you all think it's woke that we can't get insurance? or a pension? I don't know about you but I think it's pretty DEI that the boss is making all this money and we're down here busting our balls doing all work. Sounds like me the boss is living off the welfare that our labor provides."

    It's my constitutional freedom to be naked!

    I have an uncle who had one of those massive, old CRT tvs. Easily weighed several hundred pounds. The tv was free to anyone who would carry it out of the basement and out of house. Took four people to move that tv out.

    ShaggySnacks ,

    All the hallmarks of a pump and dump scheme.

    Shrinkflation is the worse. Not only is it a sneaking price hike, it's like the company is trying to gaslight you into thinking it was always that size.

    Roku TV bricked until agreeing to new terms of service

    See title - very frustrating. There is no way to continue to use the TV without agreeing to the terms. I couldn't use different inputs, or even go to settings from the home screen and disconnect from the internet to disable their services. If I don't agree to their terms, then I don't get access to their new products. That...

    ShaggySnacks ,

    Anyone else getting radicalized because of this?

    ShaggySnacks ,

    To be fair, your original problem has been solved.

    ShaggySnacks ,

    Woah, you have money.....? Actual money to spend on wants instead of needs.

    ShaggySnacks ,

    Don't smoke weed too not to cook. Weed gives you the munchies. Try smoking crack. You'll definitely don't want want to cook after that.

    Yippie!

    "Dear IRS, this year I received 69 blow jobs. How much do I owe on this?"

    Conservative government would require ID to watch porn: Poilievre (toronto.citynews.ca)

    Conservative government would require ID to watch porn: Poilievre::OTTAWA — A future Conservative government would change the law to require that porn websites verify the age of users to prevent minors from accessing the content, Opposition Leader Pierre Poilievre signalled on Wednesday.  When asked whether his government...

    ShaggySnacks ,

    First, what problem specifically is this trying to address? Have teen pregnancies gone up since the advent of kids being able to access porn on the internet? Kids with STDs? Sexual assaults on children? What specific metric has changed that makes this kind of legislation a priority right now? Is there a model that shows a correlation between the behaviors this legislation intends to address and the social ills you believe are associated with it?

    The culture war has demanded that porn to be the issue. By porn, I mean: sex education, LGBT+ people, and drag queens.

    Second is the related question of what metrics you think will improve with the introduction of this legislation? How long do you think it will take for that change to come about? If it does not, would you support removing this legislation?

    None however once everyone is use to banning porn, the Government can now ban other "undesirables" like LGBT people, sex education, and anything else related to sexuality. The Liberals won't ban this however a Conservative government, will be very tempted in pushing their agenda.

    Third, if a social ill were to be associated as per the above with online content, would you support similar legislation to regulate access (eg, if hate speech or LGBT-phobia posted online were to show a positive correlation with intolerance or violence), would you require online services to monitor access to sites hosting that kind of content, such as requiring a government issued ID to be kept on record and associated with specific user accounts?

    No. Government bans aren't effective. Education, exposure to new ideas and peoples, and empathy are going to be far better tools to combat hate in the long term.

    In short term, use freedom of speech to mock the shit of these people or other creative uses of freedom speech.

    There's Wunsiedel, Germany who used a Nazi protest to raise money for Exit Deutschland, courtesy of Nazis.

    The Jewish Bar Association did a fundraiser called “Adopt a Nazi” and raised $134,000 for Southern Poverty Law Center.

    Kal Penn started a fundraiser in a name of racist for Syrian refugees.

    Or the numerous times Redditors took over racist sub-reddits, such r/punchablefaces, r/WhitePolitics, r/Whites, r/StormFront, r/trannys, r/Faggots, and more.

    Or the hero who took a Conferdate pride Facebook group and turned it into a “Celebrating queer support for Michelle Obama, Judaism, and mixed-race marriages.”

    The Man who mocked Nazis with tuba playing.

    Or when Swedish anti-fascists pranked Nazis in 1940s, by creating 3,000 fradulent tickets for a Nazi show. A small riot broke out.

    My favorite, when Exit Deutschland used a racist rock show to spread the message about how getting out a hate group. Exit Deutschland pulled it off by handing out free t-shirts that when washed showed how to contact Exit Deutschland. Nazis were clearly outraged and went onto the internet and spread Exit Deutschland’s message, for free.

    As Robert Evan’s said in his book “The War on Everyone” when discussing about Richard what’s his face, getting milkshaked. “Blood is cool. Milkshakes aren’t.”

    Slippery slope PP.

    That's the point. Far easier to restrict rights when a previous government has done it.

    Oh no. Not the poor investors! /s

    Yeah however how will the car companies make even more money?

    The only time, I'm inviting a billionaire to a BBQ is when we decide to eat the rich.

    ShaggySnacks ,

    But, but, but.....I am winning everything. Can't let those marginalized communities beat me. I've been told everything is a zero sum game! I say in the most whiny, navel voice. The kind of the voice that makes your soul shiver up and die

    For those who you are wondering, the above comment was dripping in sarcasm. Human Rights are not a zero sum game. When marginalized communities prosper, we all better off as a society.

    "What's the difference? You're their all-time best seller."

    ShaggySnacks ,

    Instead we issue paltry fines to corporations. Simply, because we have convinced the public that corporations are job creators. Who doesn't love a job creator!?

    ShaggySnacks ,

    One of the most vivid arithmetic failings displayed by Americans occurred in the early 1980s, when the A&W restaurant chain released a new hamburger to rival the McDonald’s Quarter Pounder. With a third-pound of beef, the A&W burger had more meat than the Quarter Pounder; in taste tests, customers preferred A&W’s burger. And it was less expensive. A lavish A&W television and radio marketing campaign cited these benefits. Yet instead of leaping at the great value, customers snubbed it.

    Only when the company held customer focus groups did it become clear why. The Third Pounder presented the American public with a test in fractions. And we failed. Misunderstanding the value of one-third, customers believed they were being overcharged. Why, they asked the researchers, should they pay the same amount for a third of a pound of meat as they did for a quarter-pound of meat at McDonald’s. The “4” in “¼,” larger than the “3” in “⅓,” led them astray.

    Gen X would love to fall for online scams however everyone keeps forgetting them.

    ShaggySnacks ,

    I’ve also seen some people from Gen X who are beyond tech illiterate. We don’t really talk about those guys though.

    First rule of Gen X is that we don't talk about Gen X.

    ShaggySnacks ,

    Bloody Mary.

    ShaggySnacks ,

    I was told to test your X to make sure it wasn't laced with something else. Pretty sure the online X is laced with a lot of racism, transphobia, homophobia, sexism, and everything else that makes a fascist get their dick hard.

    Amazon is working on a new paid subscription plan for its Alexa voice assistant (www.businessinsider.com)

    Amazon is revamping its Alexa voice assistant as it prepares to launch a new paid subscription plan this year, according to internal documents and people familiar with the matter. But the change is causing internal conflict and may lead to further delay.

    Does this subscription come with ads?
