Love to see it

When a worker wears an Amazon vest, drives an Amazon van and delivers on an Amazon-controlled route, but Amazon denies they work for the company — that's exploitation.

So in the end they won't actually leave. Like he could clearly afford it but he still didn't. If it was that big of a deal he would

Also vote yes on question 9 Getting an LTC and a firearm in MA really isn't the harrowing and difficult experience full of red tape like you might believe. It's much harder to get your drivers license in MA. MA is so safe that less than 500k people out of 7 million people in MA have their LTC

I'm still salty about how the 2020 MA Democrat primary turned out. MA loved Sanders: a progressive senator from New England with a very long history of progressive votes; and loved Warren: a MA senator with a long history of coming down on abusive banks Biden won that primary. Vote no on question 3

Maybe Elon Musk would have more engagement on his posts if he wasn't blocking his haters all the time.

The kind of power that scares them

I never understood why universities and the media would so heavily clamp down on student protests. But because of France I now understand. The reason for the vicious shut down is because there is real power for change that grows from student protests. Like actual real power for change.

I didn't know the orange line could go that fast. Suddenly all those years of shuttle buses seem worth it. Perhaps I would have been less mad about the shuttle buses at the time if I knew the result was going to be 55 mph trains

Historic: woman orders a medium rare steak and gets a medium rare steak

You know everything slowly turning into blind boxes will lead to people learning to trade and communicate with strangers which could lead to people forming communities and communities could lead to class consciousness which means companies should stop slowly turning everything into blind boxes

You know for a man who loved trains Walt Disney sure as heck didn't build many of them

"Economists have predicted 15 of the last 3 recessions." Perhaps the reason there haven't been more recessions is because those warnings and predictions were taken seriously and preventative actions were taken so the bad thing wouldn't happen?

I don't think there's much value in that value pack

Pentagon To Livestream Firing Squad Execution https://theonion.com/pentagon-to-livestream-firing-squad-execution/

Financial advice I see online frequently is always like "just invest 300k at 12% annual return and you'll be all set." And the comments always rightfully harp on the 300k number but never harp on how utter unrealistic a dependable 12% annual return is.

Okay so we have a number now: the Onion is officially 6 months ahead of reality.

Facebook likes showing me posts of boomers upset that they have to pay property taxes on their paid off homes and like perhaps those taxes wouldn't be so high if you didn't spend decades opposing new housing? They're not new taxes so perhaps you should have planned for retirement better?

[job interview] interviewer: so god killed all your kids? job: that's right

I see a lot of online Fourth Wing discourse about how Violet isn't all that smart, and I want to point out that the only reason we think she's supposed to be smart is because compared to all the other characters she's pretty much the only one who has ever read a book.

I'm still a firm believer that Homura did nothing wrong and I will absolutely never be convinced otherwise

"I'm not political" = "I don't believe in putting in any effort to make the world a safer and better place"

There are actual problems that a kid playing sports faces that society should be trying to solve. And a trans kid playing sports is not remotely one of them. Protect trans kids.

"AI is dangerous and will wipe humanity out." I mean if AI really is intelligent it will probably realize that it doesn't have to do anything to accomplish that beyond just waiting for climate change to do that.

A little motivation

PokemonCenter restocking the giant Slowpoke plush just might fix me

The thing I don't think dems who have lost Texas understand: ceding ground to Republican talking points doesn't win you voters. No one who thought you stood with The Trans Menace is going to vote for you even if you say you don't. They're fuckin' crazy. All you're doing is losing Progressive votes.

When Apple announces the iPhone Duo 2 everyone is going to call it the Duo2oh. The iPhone Duo2oh owo (⁠◕⁠ᴗ⁠◕⁠✿⁠)

It's really funny to see Lego fans hating on the botanical sets. If they weren't selling well then Lego wouldn't keep making them and retailers wouldn't keep restocking them.

you know what? i say we encourage this line of exploration by the AI bros
