- Comment on DoorDash wants you to lobby Congress instead of just employing you 5 days ago:
I understand that. But typically there is some kind of round about way to sort of make it kind of true from a certain point of view. Companies to that specifically for legal cover.
This is just a plain unmasked lie, which they could be sued over.
- Comment on DoorDash wants you to lobby Congress instead of just employing you 5 days ago:
As far as I know, this is simply a lie.
The government does nothing to to prevent a company for offering paid time off and health insurance to independent contractors. Any and all of that could just be written into the contract.
- Comment on [Inverse Thinking] How do I make sure my place gets messy again after I thoroughly cleaned and organized it? 5 days ago:
Don’t pay attention to, or care about, where things go when you’re done with them.
- Comment on Read AT&T CEO's frank response to employee feedback about a 5-day RTO mandate — and much more 1 week ago:
That was all nonsense, in the most literal way.
- Comment on How abnormal is it for a mother to be her son a fleshlight for his 18th birthday? 1 week ago:
It’s certainly abnormal.
But abnormal doesn’t mean bad. At all.I actually think it’s a thoughtful honest appropriate gift. That kind of thing should be more common.

It seems like doctors. 4 years of classes, 4 years of hands on residency in hospitals.

Most of that, yes. And it’s great

It really is some of the best Star Trek that’s been done.
- Comment on Where are all the successful "red cities"? 2 weeks ago:
I did think about them. Monaco too, is in a similar spot. And even our own Washington D.C. has a special status
- Comment on Where are all the successful "red cities"? 2 weeks ago:
States aren’t cities.
- Comment on What's the equivalent of rose coloured glasses for always seeing something in a negative perspective? 3 weeks ago:
Exactly
- Comment on What's the equivalent of rose coloured glasses for always seeing something in a negative perspective? 3 weeks ago:
Green tinted glasses would be the technical answer.
- Comment on Do movie actors or actress keep the skills they learned? Like no one would screw with Keanu after seeing all the John Wick films? And if they did would they just be fucked from the start? 3 weeks ago:
Fight choreography only works against someone who also knows the choreography. Then it’ll play out according to the choreography.
The real world doesn’t work that way.
Keanu does have extensive general firearms training though. So if he had a gun you’d likely be in trouble.
- Comment on What makes a fart dry vs wet? 3 weeks ago:
All farts are dry. If it’s wet, it’s known a shart.
As in a shit you thought was a fart. - Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
The software is free. The server to host on is not. All Fediverse instances cost money to run. Every user costs money. Requiring one time “donations” is kind of misleading. More than that, its in sustainable. I signed up at Communick, because they’re upfront about the annual subscription. That’s the only way the Fediverse can work without adds or sponsorships.
- Comment on What are you doing when you call someone, don't leave a voicemail or text, they call you back right away but you don't answer? 3 weeks ago:
You’ve never seen someone put their phone in their pocket or purse, without turning off the screen first?
I’ve seen lots of people do that. A couple times I pointed out why it’s not a good idea. But people who do it, just don’t seem to care. My mother has done this exact thing to me several times. She calls me back later, when she sees that I called her, wondering what I wanted. - Comment on What are you doing when you call someone, don't leave a voicemail or text, they call you back right away but you don't answer? 4 weeks ago:
But dialing with a silenced phone?
- Comment on 32, f. Are there any dating sites that are actually free and don't suddenly force me to pay to actually use the site? 5 weeks ago:
You can always find outliers. That doesn’t mean playing the loto isn’t useless.
- Comment on Any Engrish-like community in here? 1 month ago:
Or would it be a community of first generation immigrants venting their frustrations with English itself?
- Comment on The résumé is dying, and AI is holding the smoking gun 1 month ago:
But you are if the personal incentives in your situation are bad enough.
For an extreme example. You might not want to support the black market for human organs. You know how terrible it is as a system. But you’ll die if you don’t buy a black market organ. Is it reasonable to expect everyone to give their life for that ideal? No.
- Comment on The résumé is dying, and AI is holding the smoking gun 1 month ago:
It is possible (common really) for individuals to make completely rational, sensible, even correct decisions, which ultimately contribute to a larger systemically catastrophic problem. It comes from improperly aligned incentives within the system. For examples, you can reference the prisoners dilemma.

That’s my kind of humor
- Comment on After Israel and USA's bombing, wouldn't any supposed nuclear bombs go off if there were any? 1 month ago:
Is everyone democrats in this observation?
I’m neither, for the recordAnd I neither said, nor acted like, she was telling the truth. Mearly pointing out that Rump is ignoring his own “intelligence”.
- Comment on After Israel and USA's bombing, wouldn't any supposed nuclear bombs go off if there were any? 1 month ago:
Trumps own head of intelligence says they’re years away.
- Comment on After Israel and USA's bombing, wouldn't any supposed nuclear bombs go off if there were any? 1 month ago:
Newer devices have been designed and made in the decades since.
Are cars more sophisticated today then they were in the 1940s? - Comment on Why does America feel the need to control the world? Do what they say? Instead of taking care of their own problems at home? When did the US become police officer of the world and enforcer? 1 month ago:
After world war two, Europe was busy putting itself back together. It left an opening that the US stepped into. And who wouldn’t like to be the big dog in the yard.
- Comment on What's the best way to respond to a family member who says the COVID vaccines are being used to depopulate? 1 month ago:
Ask them questions. Have them explain how, why. When you find contradictions or confusion, ask how they resolve them.
- Comment on What's the best way to respond to someone who says "transracial is just as valid as transgender"? 1 month ago:
The it sounds like you should be arguing for different semantics, that match the experience of living breathing human beings.
- Comment on What's the best way to respond to someone who says "transracial is just as valid as transgender"? 1 month ago:
If they don’t, they’re still transitioning their gender. Exactly how much they decide to change themselves doesn’t matter. That’s the point of the term.
- Comment on What's the best way to respond to someone who says "transracial is just as valid as transgender"? 1 month ago:
Gender isn’t biological. You’re conflating with sex
