I am completely unfamiliar with that person
I think the issue they’re raising is that these clips aren’t from porn, they’re from movies that happen to have nude scenes. They argue that taking the nude scene out of the larger context is molesting them.
I can understand not liking it, but I don’t see how it would be unexpected.
Every business’s biggest expense is labor. Skilled labor costs more. The people in charge like it when you save money.
I think it’s wrong. But only because the interests of the people who own the machines and businesses diverge from the worker’s interests. I’d like to see more worker cooperatives. If the workers own the machines, then it’s good when things are automated.
I also don’t believe anything will ever be truly automated, or that it’s a good idea to try.
All that to say we don’t have to resort to an explanation of “managers must hate engineers” to understand why they would want to eliminate positions.
I don’t think it’s just managers saying hey we could automate such and such a thing away. It’s human nature to think “how could I improve this” which almost immediately leads to “if I get this right it could mean no work at all”
Sorry you’re having this issue. It doesn’t line up with my recent experiences with ice cream. I’d recommend trying a different freezer (or multiple different freezers) with the same brand and see if the hardness is different. My bet is it’s not cold enough.
I can see you’re frustrated with the handwriting on this prescription, and with them telling you you need a new eye exam. I don’t know that folks here can help any more than they have - I’ve had the same experience where Zenni or Warby Parker wouldn’t let me order new glasses without a more recent prescription.
Seems like the best way to move forward is to get a new exam, and right after verify that you can read what the prescription says. If your eyes are temporarily out of whack afterwards you could bring an acquaintance to read it, or even ask the closest stranger to verify.
For the CRTs at least that makes sense, because they used to be mass manufactured, everybody had one, and then new tech came out so nobody wanted them anymore. They threw them out or sold them for cheap. Now that that glut of CRTs has cleared out, they’re probably relatively rare, and people aren’t manufacturing much of them anymore.
I think that probably applies to lots of things.
Probably not even personally most fascinating and doesn’t compare to other examples here, but I was recently in the atrium of the Atlanta Marriott Marquis and it’s amazing. Vast tall space with repeating brutalist architectural elements.
I can’t seem to upload pics here, check it out on google maps.
Do other countries have laws forbidding campaigning before a certain time?
I think market based mechanisms for calculating pay would be very hard to get away from.
That said, Mondragon (worker cooperative) has a base pay rate and then all positions are assigned a multiplier to determine an individual’s compensation.
I think it’s oversimplifying to say all small town people are Republican or that small towns don’t produce anything of value. For example people talk about Texas as a red state but millions of people there vote Democrat. (And plenty of Democrats aren’t anti fascist) But you’re right that in actual shooting war maga Republicans won’t do as well as they think
Before the civil war southerners talked shit about northerners as too comfortable and effete to fight. We know how that worked out. All fascists are bound to lose eventually. The question is how much pain and death will they cause before being suppressed.
I assume you’re getting down voted because of AI use but I don’t mind it in this case because I think it’s a useful starting point for “how many big holidays are we talking about”
