making sure they wash their hands. good on you

it's so clear and so sad how accurate your words are

knowledge is power

learn from the mistakes of others :)

this reminds me of the advice for people who win the lottery

make an anonymous LLC company to accept your win, so you can stay incognito

pay a lawyer and an accountant so you can continue to stay incognito and only tell your trusted friends and family about your good fortune

so crazy assholes don't come for you or them

I guess this now applies to making it big in crypto money

and i think I just read that Ukraine drone bombed the single factory that produces fiber optic cables

hahaha

I watched the new Count of Monte Cristo on my flight to Europe recently. Good movie, my only problem is that they didn't treat Mercedes' final encounter with the Edmond right. Honestly that part made me so angry, they did everything else so right but the main greatest lesson that Edmond and the reader must learn and they let him get away with it... (some things cannot be forgiven) Oh well. The Count of Monte Cristo is one of my all time favorites, so I am probably a little more critical then I should be.

So that is only a 3 hour movie and the flight was 10 hours... at about the 5 hour mark, I notice someone in front of me just start the movie... I watched it again on their screen.

Then I watched some other movie on someone elses screen. I have no idea what it was but it was actually a good experience.

So long story short, I understand that appeal and I might watch other peoples screens more often on long flights. Its not bad at all. Especially when they turn on subtitles

I have read a few and commented on a couple, usually when its a young person clearly ignorant of something potentially dangerous to them.

But most of the shit on there is so stupid. Like I get it! being in your early 20s or late teens and having those first relationships is a hard thing and your friends arent always good sources of advice. And you might want to your parents or other adults to be proud of you so you might not ask them the right questions.

But if the post starts to get more then a couple hundred upvotes or comments, it turns into a shit show

be in the moment

speak about the moment

if that moment isn't happening, dont force it

the man behind the corner store told me about that!

tastes like dirty underwear....

the number of the explain the joke threads on the all page is ridiculous.

because Americans think they will get cancer from anything that has radiation attached to it. Because we're science illiterate and the rich find it easier to control idiots.

The Simpsons

as a way to discourage IT bro's, we always put in women in the interview and give them the choice of questions to ask, and if they get bad vibes we let them unload.

seems to be a similar tactic

I will wait till it's $50

i think it's really dependent on where you are in the USA and then your accent when speaking. That is a stronger determination on how you will be received over skin or racial distinction.

but really a lot of the US is racist in some way. facing it in some way to stand up for yourself as an individual is the best way to beat it.

CA Universal/Unified Service Desk

oh yeah the first sentence should have included that the country that the agreement is in, recognizes it and binds both parties to it. So its a 3 party agreement in a sense, with the 3rd party being the courts of the country with laws recognizing the agreement.

The CBA will have a part in it about about strikes. I have been in a few unions that agreed in the CBA that we would not walk out strike, but we would do things like everyone wearing the same shirt or during lunch hour, gathering in the street in front of the workplace. It has a good optic and imo most of the time, the people directly in charge of you don't want to make waves with the union. its a good balance of power that is beneficial to everyone

The collective bargaining agreement (CBA) is where the power is, its a legally binding agreement between the Union and the Employer. The unions have lawyers that have crafted the language and there is a lot of back and forth until its agreed upon and then its binding for both parties.

When you get a union job, the position is represented by the union and the employer has agreed to the CBA. So as the union employee, if I feel that I am be asked to do something outside of my job description, I can request the union to audit the work which puts management under the microscope and well they don't usually like that so they will create a cold war and force policy adherence to the letter. In the end everyone is usually more clear about what is acceptable and what is not.

But the real power is that if its not in your job description, you can really say no and they cant do anything about it. The "other duties and responsibilities" should never be more then 8 hours in 2 weeks. If it does, it needs to be included as part of your job description. And the union has a death grip on that description with the CBA.
