Sounds like they want somebody to patch their APK!

He’s sorry he didn’t get an appointment to a high position. He’s sorry about consequences. If you’ve ever listened to this man speak, you would seriously doubt he has any notions of remorse.

That’s because they were in fact trying to kill all of you so no one would be left to tell their side of the story.

Oh yes! This actually happened to me multiple times. Typically it was something about how unions result in lower pay or would not represent my interests.

Of course that’s all BS! You only have to use your brain a little. For example, even if they’re not perfect representatives, who else then is going to represent you? Yourself? You don’t stand a chance against a large business.

The costs of union fees was a sticking point, and it’s easy to waive that in front of somebody’s face when it’s harder to measure the impact of your union fighting for fair pay and blocking exploitation. The counter argument is that not all benefits are easily quantifiable. Negotiated raises are just part of the total compensation, and the stated pay numbers you’d get without unions in the world are made up because you can claim whatever you want about something that is not the case.

Was the food good though?

It’s a damn shame that this is true. We used to have such a good relationship with Canada, and then my sicko brothers and sisters voted for a maniac.

For me, it was that protesting was only ever discussed as peaceful, civil activity, as was a way of communicating demands outside of the voting cycle.

Unionization and workers rights were never discussed. I didn’t learn about unions as a concept until nearly graduation when my first job had so much required training about how dangerous they were, and of course I assumed they were full of it and did my own investigation.

Oh this one is real bad. Fantastic.

Thank you for not making this a literal shit post. It could easily have gone that way.

 

Based on a true story.

The facial expressions are fantastic. And of course it would be Pinkie.

That’s not very Justice though. Not at all.

That’s OK. I only have to deal with it at work, and they have it disabled with whatever enterprise group policy or management tools they’re using.

My Queen is in Prison (self.dwarffortress)

Ten year old fort in a metals-poor area. Thus, trade was essential, for what is a dwarf without access to metals? Unfortunately my nobles had annoying demands and export prohibitions on key stone goods, so I mostly ignored these and decided that I don't care if my nobles are irate. Those gushy noble bedrooms aren't going to pay for themselves.

Well, years later I finally got around to assigning a captain of the guard, and shortly after I noticed that my 20-cage dungeon was full. Reports of injuries from beatings and soon my two-bed hospital was overwhelmed. Years of export violations finally caught up with us, including the Queen. Production collapsed as key dwarfs were jailed and injured.

We will recover in time, but what a mess! I didn't expect to see that much fallout.

 

I work on my feet almost every day, so I wear through socks like nobody's business. Jogging is one of my main forms of physical activity, and that certainly does not help my socks last either. Around the house I'm always wearing socks. I need a new pack of socks nearly once a month just to keep up. Prices are going up too, and I don't want to buy socks like this anymore.

I received some wool socks for my birthday that lasted notably longer than cotton socks, but I tore through these too in a few weeks. Finally, after wearing through another pack of ten, I decided to try some purpose-built work crew socks.

Here you might expect me to write about how much better these socks are, but I don't know yet. I hope they will last longer.
