Profit is the portion of revenue that is stolen from workers and given to shareholders. Profit is bad. Revenue is good.

It absolutely does not. Please stop.

I'm not accusing her of doing that on purpose. I'm informing her that it reads that way to people who've been subject to similar situations in the past.

That doesn't mean Razira wouldn't feel disadvantaged or pressured to react a certain way in the power dynamic. It doesn't have to do with Konsi's internal dialogue. This has been established for reason most commonly in lawsuits dealing with sexual harassment between supervisors and their reporting employees.

On the broadcasting side, community radio stations, a category that includes college stations, are required by law to dedicate 15% of their airtime to spoken work content.

She posted a screenshot of what she saw: a message from Facebook reading, “We reviewed your Page and determined it is a news outlet. In response to Canadian government legislation, content from news outlets can’t be shared in Canada... If you believe we got this wrong, you can request another review in 6 months.”

So, Canadian law allows Facebook/Meta and web publishers to remove news content, while regulating local radio stations to help customers get news content? Sounds like Facebook needs much more regulation so it will stop skirting the law and be forced to either simply abandon Canadian operations or perform in its function as a communications platform in a faithful manner.

That's true. But, I think for many, it's kind of a black box. How it progresses isn't something people want to think about. It's pretty unpleasant, but is also a vital part of that support for the family you mention. Having something to compare their own experiences with. Being able to ask is this normal. That sort of thing.

It's a very sad disease.

Unfortunately, the only face this disease gets is when a celebrity or politician is struck with it. In terms of dementia awareness, that's all there is. My interest in the article was about the disease, not the individual. There wasn't much information there, but awareness is important. Dementia is increasing in the population, partly due to an increase in average age.

There being a landlord dynamic in this fictional relationship makes it way less cute. The real enchantment was the threat of homelessness all along.

Cash grab or return to office propaganda? Why not both.

Man, I wish my trash would take itself out.

Trump doesn't pay.

Between his actual crimes, his failure to pay bills, what happened to the country while he was in office and how anyone associated with him ends up sunk this really ought to be the Dem's slogan, now through the 2024 election cycle.

Well shit. I'm gonna recommit to making a million dollars by lunch tomorrow. Fuck all that'll do, but why not.

He didn't deserve any sort of action. The stadium was clearing out just fine. He was finishing up and was assaulted for making music.

In what kind of fascist hellscape does that warrant police action?

These cops were way out of line.

We've fucked up every ecosystem there is and are looking for ways to fuck places that don't even have them. Humans are the worst.

He went from saying he was going to build an 'everything app' to charging for something that does nothing and is shit at it.

Advanced flight AI turned on all the warning lights, made the pilot bail, killed the transponders and stole the plane. This is how skynet starts.

Ask him 'how much he thinks each tweet costs twitter?'

He'll have an analyst run the numbers. After a few months it'll bother him so much he'll come back with the idea that it should be charge per tweet. Works like a charm.

Don't use it everyday, but it's pretty small and when you need it you need it.

Look, everyone knows that the climate is fucked. It would take a big all in push to fix it. We haven't even started. And, having just tried to get our act together to drive a new emerging disease into extinction, something that should have been relatively easy, we failed and devolved into such fractious infighting over that simple thing that no one even wants to outright acknowledge how fucked we are.

So, yeah. You could say there's a bit of an unshakable gloom, if that's what you're into.
