  • Yeah.

    Plus my racist neighbors with their chemlawn are pissed

  • Maybe, in the far future, I elected to have my skull sent back in time for that purpose.

    Because I totally would.

  • I let milkweed take over my front planting bed and I’m ecstatic

  • Yeah but fewer people get the references

  • Cosmos (the original)

    Connections with James Burke

    Secret Life of Machines

    All of David MacAulay’s books

  • Right so why bother impeaching him anymore. It makes the legislative branch look like a bunch of idiots.

  • No, it is true. Companies got sued because they brought in H1-B visas because no domestic worker could meet the impossible job requirement. So they get a slave who has to keep their job or be deported.

    Jobs that are entry level and require years of experience are common.

    And, yes, the assholes in charge are doing this.

  • They also mention that they’re physically demanding jobs with inflexible schedules.

    Even if I had the training I’d still want way more to have to leave my house and put on pants to potentially get injured, either acutely or chronically.

  • This is a problem across industries. The programming joke of a job requiring ten years experience in a five year old language is funny because it’s true.

  • I bent over the sink to clean the drain and threw my back out three hours before I had to leave on a business trip.

    Had to cancel the entire thing and spend the next day on my back.

  • The WFH gave it away. I have a similar setup and it makes me look real professional even if I’m naked from the waist down.

  • That ring light is going to make your cat look amazing on Zoom

  • Pretty sure we invented capitalism

  • To be fair, giving a cow antibiotics when a vet says she needs it is humane.

    Keeping them on antibiotics because you’re too cheap to have a vet check all your cows is cruel and breeds super-germs.

  • People, what a bunch of bastards

  • That’s probably someone hired to work the farm by the multinational who owns the wheat field, the pesticide, the fertilizer, and the genes of the wheat they’re growing.

  • Recoiless pistol

  • Noted neoliberal sex pest Bill Clinton endorsed Cuomo

    Shit birds of a feather

  • Except it’s not like either of the other two wars.

    I’d agree with the comparison if, for example, the US attack on Iran immediately brought Russia to war with the US, which triggered Article 5, which got China involved. That sort of domino effect happened the last two times but doesn’t appear to be happening now.

    Could it become WWIII? Maybe. But right now it still looks like a regional conflict, and a rather small one at that compared to the first two Iraq wars.

    But I’m only 1/3 of the way through the latest Perun video so I reserve the right to change my mind.
