  And for people with blood clots! Locking your knees prevents blood flow and can get those clots forming faster.

  Since locking your knees while standing makes you pass out, I wonder if locking your knees while seated also makes you pass out.

  Did you roll the Mint into the manager’s office with a note “looks like I’m rolling out of here!”

  Potatoes aren’t native to Europe. Europeans first discovered the potato after traveling to the Americas.

  Night owls still need groceries and it’s best to shop when you’re more awake and alert. When I worked a graveyard job, Winco was a lifesaver. I thought if better to include more for those who might be interested.

  Whataburger, Winco Foods, insomnia cookies, Denny’s, and other diners come to mind. Since covid, hardly anything is open late anymore.

  You might be able to find some other places local to you that we won’t know aboht, if you satay up late and use the “open now” option on Google maps.

  Right! That’s a good chunk of a down payment on a house of their own!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  This tenant obviously is close to having the means to owning their own home. They blew ~50% of a down payment on a house that they don’t own.

  The smart thing to do, would have been save the money and use that towards a house of their own.

  I saw an article on lemmy about this yesterday, though not sure whether I’ll find it again.

  Hotels, flights, retailers already have an abundance of price discrimination. Target shows higher prices when your device is physically closer to a store and lower prices when you are further away. IPhone users tend to pay higher prices because they assume that since you had the extra money to pay for an expensive phone, you’ll be open to spending more at other stores.

  Likewise, if they see your device or other devices on your network/near you making several searches for hotels/flights the price will increase.

  It’s just another way to build greed into the system

  Depends on where you go in Dallas. With all the megachurches and conversion camp HQs around the metroplex, it’s also known as an evangelical Christian hotspot.

  If it was a Foosball table, it could at least be used as a makeshift coat rack

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Capitalism indoctrination in progress.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It’d such a bad feedback loop. Employees don’t always feel safe being honest at exit interviews, so they say what they think HR wants to hear and HR just takes it as fact. Then they build training like this based off what Former employees felt safe telling HR and the cycle continues.

  The ping ping table at least lasts longer than a pizza party, but it’s no more significant. When retiring, nobody wishes they ate more pizza or played more ping pong at work. They wish they had been able to grow and make more money so they’d be better taken care of.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When did Christians get involved in politics in USA? I was watching young Turks clip on youtube. There was an exmuslim guy he said pat Robertson forced Christians into politics. So when was it?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The US was founded by Christian fanatics that left England because of their extreme beliefs.

  The Spanish came to the Americas and established missions to convert the indigenous people.

  Depending on location in the Americas, religion was either first or a very close second.

  Sure the founding fathers created a government that wasn’t directly controlled by the church, but religion has been a major contributor. Don’t forget that the church used parts of the Bible to justify slavery, which was a hot topic starting with the founding of the US.

  I wouldn’t think the recognition from the public would be main reason. I figured that the biggest reason you’d want the credit is for future employers to see your name attached to a film. I would imagine they would be the ones to either sit through credits or search a credits database to see who worked on which films or worked on films recently.
