  In the defense of the North Korea outrage, they lobotomised the kid and sent the dying body back to US.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So wise.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  i just do 0. I feel like giving 20% more than agreed upon as default is crazy. I can not imagine employers giving 20% more wages just because i was doing my job? Why should i burn money?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It’s Well Past Time for a Four-Day Workweek⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  All those technical advances yet the workload ever increases.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stay chill, no matter what⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Thinking back, trading that cone for 12+ years of a joy in life was a bad deal. It’s a trap.

  Hey you wanna those candies? Just gotta go into that building and sit still for 8 hours just to sit still at home for some more.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do so many drummers wear beanies?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  To hide their receeding hair line. Look, the drummer is the only one sitting of the band. Even keys are standing sometimes. It’s an old-man profession.

  Looks like israel has compromising material. Also russia. Also that absurd iran deal? Likely they bought intel on him.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you think that Trump is being blackmailed?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  i think if theres actual footage of him doing these things, tides turn quickly.

  change all your passwords you used with that device. then depends, can you afford a new phone? Go with a more known brand. If you can’t, start learning mandarin 😅

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do cops and soldiers go thru training to not freak out or get sick the first time they see an adult body? What about a kid or something? Or does it depend on the situation theie walking into?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  shitting blood doesnt mean anything. If its like fresh, could be hemorrhoids. 60s is way early to go, considering retirement is from 70 here and presidents start at 70 in the US. But i guess thats what alcohol does to you.

  Sounds actually relaxing

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are American men leaving the workforce at historic rates?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They said less “producing jobs” that men find fullfilling. More women dominated service jobs. They say its because men culture hurr durr how they were raised. But then again why younger men also sre affected. The answer was inconclusive. Men statistically dont get as high education as women.

  I think there is a recession and many men are simply squeezed out of the market. If we produce everything in Asia, there wont be producing jobs here. And its not only low skill jobs which went there. Building and maintaining factory machinery is nearly non existant.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mexico cuts workweek, bans after-hours contact, and guarantees no worker will take a pay cut in the most sweeping labor reform in a generation⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Germany has 48 hours but this is a maximum by law. Normally contracts are 35-40. Yet this news is important as germany’s chancellor seeks to increase those times and calls everyone lazy while even mexico cares more about their workers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Has anyone else noticed the strong pro CCP and anti-west vibes here?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What is “the west” meaning nowadays anyway? US threatens to invade Europe and is closer to russia than NATO. They are barely allies anymore.

  When they tell you no raise this year

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why exactly are nursing aids paid so poorly?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  On global level population is still growing. With globalization, companies couldnt care less if a worker is from US or Africa. ChatGPT’s training was supervised by kenia workers for laughable wages.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why exactly are nursing aids paid so poorly?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  WHO guidelines say children should stay with mother until 3 to bond and go to childcare from 3 to get social skills. But germany only pays up for like 1 yr and even that only limited. Grandparents have to work until they are barely fit enough to help too.

  Makes you wonder, with all those technical advances we have, why we work more and more having worse living conditions down the drain.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pride month⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Dont worry, as parents you wouldn’t (want) to see action either. You get up, handle your offspring, go to work, gethome to just handle the offspring again. Depending if they had mid-day sleep you may be allowed to do chores starting 19-23pm. Actually working is more relaxing than being 100% of the time on adrenaline because your toddler tries to hurt themselves all the time. You just lack energy for romance. Trying for a second is a chore.
