Is there an app for kbin? I've been using Jerboa for lemmy and like it. Browsers and web pages don't feel right on mobile. But I do like the idea of kbin being connected with mastodon.

 

Lemmygrad can be fucked up. From the genocide denial to the calls for genocide, there are a lot wild things over there.

But cracker? Or CraKKKa? Does this actually offend anyone here?

The three posts before this one are all by "different" users complaining about cracker. Each profile is 1 day old, no comments, and this being their first post. I'd guess its the same person.

"Clear as mud?"

Normally said after I tried to explain something and I'm only getting a blank stare in response. Or after a meeting when I know everyone is confused.

Stability is the bigger difference.

I was really into Overwatch when it started. When I got into Master/Grandmaster, every tiny lag spike would happen at the worst time. It convinced me to run a 250' cable throughout our house lol.

I understand the sentiment, but this isn't always true. Some workers need unions while working for non-profit companies.

The difference is more to do with the power imbalance between workers and managers.

If an employee is trying to skip hours, their manager has power over them. The manager can fire them, cut hours, or dock pay.

If a manager is trying to skimp pay, they still have power over the employee. The employee cannot make demands to the manager because they have no leverage.

But if all the employees join together? Now they have collective bargaining. This is what unions are for. Its to try and balance the inherent power imbalance.

Workers of the world, unite!

Right? Whenever someone is confused about my dislike of conservatives, they act like I disagree with their tax policies.

Obviously there are bigger things at issue here.

I've bought replacement ear pads two or three times now. The top is beginning to fall apart a bit but overall they are holding strong.

Galaxy buds at work. Bose QC35 at my home desk. And a Dewalt Bluetooth speaker while outside anywhere.

I've had the QC35 for more than 5 years now and I love them.

I'm used to a good amount of "scary" leftist opinions. But someone on lemmygrad said Pol Pot shooting highly educated people in the head was a good thing - right after I said I was an engineer.

This place is cool but maybe I'll avoid that instance lol

retarded

I knew I'd find vaushites on Lemmy

Edit: lol I was right

 
 

I consider myself a leftist. I wanted some insight on my labor union's internal disagreement. So, I thought asklemmygrad might be a good spot (bad idea).

After mentioning I'm an engineer, this guy explains that shooting highly educated people in the head is actually a good idea. I think its safe to say I'm not welcomed there.
