Office workers are productive on average about 3 hours out of an 8 hour workday.

The double dipping is referring to doing both jobs simultaneously. Like two remote jobs and you have both work laptops open, so between two jobs you can work 40 hours per week but be paid for 80. It's distinctly different from clocking in for one job, then clocking out and going to another job and clocking in for that job.

Israel is pretty fucking fascist though, what's should be done to deal with Israel?

More like $28 per hour, because you're working 168 hour weeks not 40.

Drink a verification can of Mountain Dew to continue pumping gas.

How about we spread out the work and spread out the profit among people who do the work.

Farmers are already food slaves under the current system

We have a lot of extreme social anxiety over simple things like talking on the phone which extends into a severe inability to date.

Do we though? I've not met anyone like this, but maybe there's a reason for that. My social circle is outrageously slutty and outgoing. And prefer to share Netflix logins and cook at home because you can have an amazing night at 20% the cost of going out.

They ruled that people acting together have all the same rights that they would have acting individually

Bullshit, corporations are not "people acting together", they're autocratic command structures where one or few people hold all the power.

preventing someone from spending money on producing and promoting their speech effectively prevents them from being heard

Also total bullshit, unless you agree that allowing people to be poor is a violation of the first amendment, because being poor effectively prevents them from being heard. Which you won't.

Which are both perfectly true, common-sense statements

I'm already confident you don't have a single ounce of common sense in your empty head after reading those two sentences.

That's just all of late stage capitalism. Most industries are shrinking bc most people can't afford to spend on much beyond the basic necessities of rent and food anymore.

I'm in the hotel industry and occupancy rates are declining, people just aren't going out on vacation like they used to.

Inevitably any service tipped or not will be wealthies-only.

Maybe you should have thought of that before you became peasants.

CU vs FEC was specifically about campaign financing, but yeah basically ruled that organizations like corporations are protected by 1A, and money counts as free speech.

Which is obviously bullshit on every level, but just one way that a SCOTUS with a few corrupt individuals can destroy democracy for an entire country.

Very based, but according to this the GOP represents the devil, and Christians sure aren't throwing them aside.

The atheists are unironically better Christians than the Christians are.

Yeahhhhhh, historically, the original Treks just did NOT understand how to properly utilize FEEEMAALE characters, from the writers to ahem the producers. coughfuckbermancough

TNG: awful writing for the women

DS9 and VOY: amazing writing, some of the best women characters in TV history

ENT: nosedive back to awful writing for women

DSC: awful writing for everyone

PIC: tiny bit of redemption for the women mistreated in TNG

LD&SNW: modern and consistently non-terronly writing

Like China sucks, but they're not wrong when they say the US is the most destabilising influence in world politics.

Oh my god are we really doing this. It's like an elephant took a shit, and a rhino took a shit, and the rhino says that the elephant shit is going to make a worse sandwich.

Sure, you could technically argue that the rhino shit is 2% smaller, you're still shoving a giant rhino shit sandwich in your mouth.

And "stable/unstable" is not the best metric either. An authoritarian militaristic dictatorship is often more "stable" than a Democracy. You can force stability on a population by taking all their rights away. Doesn't make it a good thing.

Would you give communist countries a free pass to commit genocides, war crimes, and human rights violations, just because they are communist?

I said, "It's okay for them to exist, they just need to stop doing bad things".

That could mean, "it's okay for capitalist countries to exist, they just need to stop doing bad things", as easily as it could mean, "it's okay for communist countries to exist, they just need to stop doing bad things".

Any GOP rep that votes for Jeffries will get shot by a Qanoner.

It's a minority cult that's hellbent on forcefully taking control of the country, or burning it down in the process.

That he can be so successful with the religious right says quite a lot about their critical reasoning abilities.

It's a cult. They aren't consistent with the values of Christianity, because it's just an aesthetic. The cult itself is always first. In-group vs out-group. Ally vs enemy.

Tankies are the same. Communism is just an aesthetic, the cult is always first.

It's really simple, stop cherry picking bits of information to try to make any one country look good. Don't be a propagandist. Be aggressively critical of America and China for every single way in which they oppress LGBTQ people.
