The thing is that this looks like fascism, but for a different reason. The place that got their animals taken away was a legally licensed, insured, and recognized wildlife sanctuary, and the reason given was “we need to test them for rabies” despite the animals showing no signs of rabies infection, nor any incident occurring which would require those tests.
The whole thing reeks of some sort of petty local dispute with the PD.

This also got used in Baby Driver. Highly recommend a watch.
- Comment on Why am I seeing "plan your voting day strategy" so often? 3 weeks ago:
Don’t forget that the Ohio Supreme Court let the GOP just… Keep submitting shit district maps after being ordered to draw fair maps multiple times. We still haven’t drawn a new district map, that’s what Issue 1 is about.

Yup, down ballot races matter just as much, if not arguably more. This says nothing of ballot issues or tax levies as well.

Also remember that correlation isn’t causation. Trust me, every autistic person in the West has heard all about how we just need to adjust our gut biome and suddenly we won’t be autistic, or we just need to go vegan, or any of a thousand other wonder cures. These cures have been touted since the 1900s, and the people they “work” on are generally agreed to just have learnt to mask better because almost every “treatment”, no matter how benign, is horrible to deal with.

Not to mention that these managers had time to do this in the first place, which indicates to me that those managers are doing a whole boatload of nothing.

It wouldn’t have surprised me if WOTC dropped D&D as a brand if Honor Among Thieves had flopped.

And in some cases, the IP getting a shit movie or show can tell the game developers “well, time to drop the entire brand for 15 years”.
- Comment on Gen Z is actually taking sick days, unlike their older coworkers. It’s redefining the workplace 2 months ago:
Totally employer dependent. Some places give you sick days and want you to use them if needed, some give you them and will absolutely throw you out if you use them, some don’t give you any, some people want you to use your PTO for sick time.

Oh they fucking tried a LOT. The public at large, and a lot of the lobbying groups, kept up the pressure really well to get this through.

Teachers in the US definitely do NOT “take the summer off”, as someone who has an SIL that’s a teacher. That time winds up getting filled with lesson planning, adapting to new curricula, meetings with administration to discuss new curricula or books, and usually working a second job because your school is, most of the time, not paying you to do any of that.
- Comment on Gen Z job seekers should be willing to work for free, long hours, ‘willing to do anything,’ says Squarespace CMO 3 months ago:
Exactly this. You’re either rich, or you’re working two full-time jobs, which will absolutely wreck the shit out of your mental and physical health in the long run.

I’m so glad my community college refused to offer or honor any internship that was unpaid (or paid less than a set amount). We even got the local university to go along with it, so now pretty much nobody offers unpaid internships in the area because they all realize that they’d be missing out on a huge labor pool otherwise.

And at the end of the day, if you have separated it but you’re STILL not sure, throw it out. Not having mushrooms is preferable to being a corpse.

Most plants that we eat are excellent at taking up heavy metals too - potatoes and herbs especially.

The solace is that their island will likely be swallowed by the sea in fairly short order.
- Comment on From 'quiet quitting' to 'coffee badging' — why employees are less interested in work 3 months ago:
Honestly this. My work still gets done and dealt with. At the end of the day, that’s what matters - if you want me to take more, pay me.

He also claimed the war didn’t leave him with any bad memories, but he’s got a whole marsh where dead people pull other people into the bog to drown.
Weirdly totally not about the Somme according to Tolkien.

I believe the Sermon on the Mount essentially says “clothe the naked, feed the hungry, take care of the sick.”. No limits on time.
The Didoche was written in an era where Christian communities generally had little wealth and were constantly in danger of arrest or execution. This is NOT the case in most places now, and especially not in the US, which this meme is referencing.
Nobody who’s suggesting state assistance is suggesting that we “take care” of people forever, at least not under the current system. Indeed, the data pretty easily shows that if you give people a place to stay, solid food aid, and some cash to deal with bills and miscellania, they start being functioning members of society, and get jobs and start the detox process or whatever interventions they need, really quick, like within months. This has been trialed even in the US in places like Denver, and it works.
So what you’re really saying is “I don’t want more of my money going to helping other people.” Have fun being the richest man in the cemetery.

As Behind the Bastards pointed out recently in their Kent Hovind episode, the IRS doesn’t give a shit about what illegal or immoral activity you commit, they literally just want you to pay taxes on it.

Mhm, society persists even through collapse scenarios mostly for exactly this reason. John the Butcher in 13th century Scotland might have lost his entire village to The Plague, but those guys in the village 3 miles down the road still have people who know how to forage, or hunt, or grow food, etc etc etc.

Or, the company keeps withholding documentation until your own money runs out. They know how it’s played, and unless you get your local Department of Labor involved (if indeed you even have a DoL that’s not just countywide or whatever), they know that they can just run the clock out by withholding documents, delaying court dates, etc while remaining well within the “oh we just plain forgot your honor” line.
