- Comment on Boeing proposes 30% wage hike to striking workers in its 'final' offer. 1 month ago:
This is like naming files “final”, there’s “final final” and “final final final” after that, and so on, ad infinitum.
- Comment on ‘Hold them captive’: Australian billionaire boss aims to end staff going out for coffee 2 months ago:
Let’s see how that goes in a market starved of high level workers and full of employers happy to let their staff work from home.
- Comment on James Cameron says he is working on a new "TERMINATOR" project - "I’m working on my own Terminator stuff right now. It’s got nothing to do with (Netflix's Terminator Zero). It’s totally classified." 3 months ago:
The problem with every terminator after 2 is that they went from “no fate but what we make” to determinism.
- Comment on France in Shock as Conservative Leader Embraces Far Right 5 months ago:
I disagree with most of those points but even if I grant them this still doesn’t answer how they think the party that hates government will run it better.
We saw what 15 years of Tory rule did for England. “They can’t be worse” - you’ll be surprised.
- Comment on France in Shock as Conservative Leader Embraces Far Right 5 months ago:
This is only partially true. The propaganda money from the big end of town is what’s getting people to vote against their own interests.
How does voting for the neo feudalists does anything to restore the welfare system?
The answer would be to vote for the people that want a better functioning government, vote further left not “oh well, I might as well vote for the people that want to burn the government to the ground”
This is some Brexit level shooting themselves in the foot to spite their face. The British public is slowly waking up to “Oh we were wrong”.
I just hope the west will have the opportunity to recover from this tilt.
- Comment on Is a peanut butter sandwich a balanced meal? 5 months ago:
More than that, most peanut butter has a lot of hydrogenated vegetable fats which are likely much worse than a bit of sugar.
If the package doesn’t have a tablespoon of peanut oil or so pooling at the top when you first open it, that you then need to mix it in, it’s hydrogenated.
- Comment on Why ‘poly-employment’ may be 2024’s next big work trend, working more than one job is getting a re-brand 5 months ago:
Wage slavery? No. It’s poly-employment.
- Comment on Kristen Stewart, Oscar Isaac Teaming for Hedonistic ’80s Vampire Thriller ‘Flesh of the Gods’ From ‘Mandy’ Director Panos Cosmatos 6 months ago:
I found it hardly scary, the protagonist being nearly indestructible, but a super weird trip, like diving head first in a 70s cosmic cult poster, full of hallucinogenics and rivers of blood, and yes, pretty funny at times… “you ruined my favourite shirt”!
- Comment on Raspberry Pi 5 vs Intel N100 mini PC comparison - Features, Benchmarks, and Price 6 months ago:
I consider my $200 n95 inc. 16gb ram 512gb m2 and 6-8w idling better value than a Pi tbh.
- Comment on FTC Announces Rule Banning Noncompetes 6 months ago:
That’s the idea behind CEOs golden parachutes.
- Comment on GOP Governors Show 'How Scared They Are' of Workers Organizing With UAW 6 months ago:
Apart from worker rights they are basically terrified that unions are an antidote to right wing propaganda with the poorest whites.
Opinions for most people are formed communally - they own the church-business and bastardised it so much with prosperity gospel so that is not a concern it once was with civil rights etc. but churches have increasingly less reach than they once had and they haven’t found a way to strangle or bastardise unions just yet. And fox news and other propaganda outlets have diminished value with Gen Z onwards.
I’m sure they’re working their darnedest to get the sheep back in line, corrupt the unions by bribing leadership to work against the interest of their members or one way or another kill them.
Get involved and stay involved.
- Comment on Disneyland performers file petition to form labor union 7 months ago:
And stick together as unions. Don’t let the next Reagan fuck over 3 generations - someone does something as egregious as firing the whole sector, every union strikes - bring down the whole fucking economy until they’re rehired.
- Comment on From layoffs to lawsuits, billionaires are striking back to crush worker power 7 months ago:
One way or another a renegotiation is approaching.
- Comment on he loves the jungle 7 months ago:
A drop of water in a desert of cash-grab remakes that are significantly worse than the originals because everyone in production knows it’s a cash grab and has no creative input other than pumping another one out.
- Comment on The future of AI in Personalized Medicine Breakthroughs 10 months ago:
Ha! I thought iron Maiden’s mascot, Eddie - especially bottom right.
- Comment on Godot Engine hits over 50K euros per month in funding 1 year ago:
Most certainly have been. Worth another look.
- Comment on Reality for thee, not for me 1 year ago:
Depends on what he’s convicted of. There are certain convictions specifically prohibiting you from holding high office.
