and don’t forget the huge amount of legal fees to fight it

I’ve been there man. What I can say that helped me is doing things myself. It’s small, and people are quick to say what’s the point, but I get immensely satisfaction whenever I turn off fossil fuels to another appliance. I rarely drive now, I bike, I do any little thing I can. Will it save everyone? Probably not. But I’m doing what I can, and it helps me.

Same here but reversed. I hate cooking, they love it. So I’m on dishes, it evens out.

This is what happens when you buy a car from a tech company. There is no reason that a Ts&Cs should ever come with a car - but here we are. For now, avoid any company that does things like this. Top of mind are Tesla and BMW

Yes, but they can retaliate with petty shit in this way. All freedom of speech means is that there are no criminal charges against him for doing this - the government isn’t coming after him.

…telling reporters, “We are huge fans of Colbert. We love the show.”

Yeah, we see through your bullshit corpo speak. I’m very glad to see more people waking up to corpo speak and how little it means.

My family did that stuff too! Not for every trip, but I remember us driving to South Dakota and saying “Look there are the badlands” and such and such, but never getting out. There’s Devil’s Tower! Then we drove on. We’d get out occasionally, but not regularly.

Yeah I’m withholding judgement IMO. Right now that’s corporate speak. I’ve been fired before, and had HR tell me they wish me luck and that they hope to cross paths again someday. It’s horseshit. If they hire her I’ll judge them harshly for it

Yeah pretty sure I’m calling bullshit there George

My number one issue with all sights is that there is not enough parking. Big Ben? Where do I park? Pyramids? Parking. Statue of liberty? Come in parking! The first and usually only thing I think about is parking. If I can’t park my car and walk less than 100m to the thing I want to see, what’s the point?

/s because some people still won’t see the sarcasm of this or the post. A lot of people do think that way

Yeah they literally are the trailer park boys, it’s all they’ve done, and they’ve poured their hearts into those roles. This will be the … 5th reboot now counting the movies I believe? TPB are the exception to the rule.

Maybe randy finally got that promotion?

…what? I don’t care where in the article it happened. “Lots” is very informal. “A lot of commercials” would have been slightly better, or simply “many commercials” or “several”.

Jesus dude. I read the article. I said I didn’t like the phrasing of that line. I don’t care where in the article it happened or if later in the article they changed their wording. That specific line, which I pulled from the article, top or bottom I really don’t care, is informal.

You then assumed I just stopped reading there? Because I called out something towards the top I must have stopped reading? What is this an ego thing? “They had an issue with the top of the article so clearly they didn’t read any further”. Is that what this whole comment is, an assumption that I didn’t read, and then you personally attacked me because of that assumption?

Literally pulled that line from the article.

I think you hit the nail perfectly on the head

i say living on the west coast after I escaped the drudgery that is the Midwest

and did lots of commercials

God have some respect, journalism right here. She died after fighting what sounds like a horrible disease. This isn’t a text, you’re supposed to be honoring her life. The very least they can do is have a formal tone about her cut-short career.

Tabby is a locally ran one that I’ve been really enjoying too

Okay, still as other people said, unless you literally carry things 4+ times a day financially it doesn’t make sense to buy a new truck, so that hasn’t changed.

Whenever I hear of news out of Missouri it’s another reason why I wouldn’t want to be in Missouri.

It was 1 hour per 30 hours of work. That’s a half day per month. 1 day per 2 months, 6 days a year (for part timers it gets around the 32 hours totally isn’t a full week loophole). Not vacation, but sick time.

I had the flu this year. I was down for over a week. If I worked for a shitty part-time job in Missouri I’d have to decide between going unpaid for a week (and probably pissing off my jr supervisor with the management skills of a tomato) or going in sick and getting everyone else sick (also somehow pissing off the produce-quality supervisor)

What’s the governor’s sick leave? I bet he gets more than 6 days a year. Shameful he overturned his own voters - and worse they’ll probably still vote him in again.

I’ve tried a lot and the problem is that the people are entrenched in their beliefs. They are in irrational states of mind on social media, and you can’t rationally talk to people in that state of mind.

The most successful I’ve had is simply the Socratic method. Remain calm, simply ask open ended questions which are designed to just make them question their tightly held beliefs. Why are cities less safe, why do you feel this, etc. however even I find they will often just get angry at that even.

Ultimately, it’s not social media which will win minds. It’s in the open. I’ve had more luck meeting people casually in bars and talking to them vs on a keyboard
