- Comment on Disneyland workers say they live in cars, motels due to low pay 5 months ago:
Yeah, I know what you mean. I’ve been working in public school libraries for almost 10 years now and get paid basically nothing, and since I’m not a teacher, my retirement accrues so slowly that it’s basically nonexistent. I’ll probably have to work until I die. I should’ve switched careers a long time ago. One more year and I’m out. I decided to wait until my daughter graduates high school, and then I’ll make big life changes.
Just for some perspective, some companies give stock options to employees in lieu of better pay, so the guy you were frustrated with might also be broke.
I hope things look up for you! For all of us!

That was unnecessarily mean. Are you mad at him because he has stock in the company?

38H (UK sizing) here.
I still don’t go braless even in winter because they hang low, and that embarrasses me. Existing at all embarrasses me, so take that with a grain of salt.

Wow! Thanks for the explanation! That’s a really great meme that went completely over my head.

Our system isn’t set up that way, so feel free to throw your vote away, but please don’t convince others to do that. Some of us don’t have the luxury of indulging in protest votes.

Pi is about 3.14 and the acceleration for gravity (g) is 9.8. So a pig without 3.14 (pi), is 9.8 (g).

Math or history didn’t bother you? The last time you had a class called “Science” was probably the same as the last time you had a class called “Math” and a class called “History”: elementary or junior high.
They’re being used as general subject terms…
- Comment on UAW strike Day 4: GM threatens to send 2,000 workers home, Ford cuts 600 jobs 1 year ago:
Money. Because they were striking in December right before the holidays, and people get mad about shipments and economic problems right before the holidays. Also, he’s Biden, not Bernie Sanders. From Reuters:
A rail strike could have frozen almost 30% of U.S. cargo shipments by weight, stoked already surging inflation, cost the American economy as much as $2 billion a day, and stranded millions of rail passengers.

- There’s an election coming up. 2) Even though he’s Biden, he’s still not a Republican, so there’s a chance he’ll possibly side with labor.

Lol I thought it was oglet. We were so close!
- Comment on The Weekly 'What are you playing?' Discussion [2] 1 year ago:
It was so hard to dodge spoilers! I also went in mostly blind, and it’s been pure joy. But also… feeling a bit overwhelmed! There’s SO MUCH to explore and do, and I have serious anxiety that I’m going to miss things or forget to go back somewhere.
