• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Boeing proposes 30% wage hike to striking workers in its 'final' offer.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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."⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨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 ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨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 ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨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?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨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 ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨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 ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨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 ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨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 ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨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 ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  One way or another a renegotiation is approaching.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨he loves the jungle⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨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 ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨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.

  Depends on what he’s convicted of. There are certain convictions specifically prohibiting you from holding high office.
