Authorized in 1999? What in the cousin fucking?

Pretty much.

I worked in tech and there's a lot of morally gray things.

For example: the law is pretty clear on what a company should and shouldn't store as data. Yet every year, tech companies violate it. A few even get lawsuits because of how bad they did it. Thousands don't.

The engineers (many who only want to do the right thing) see it pretty clearly. Don't leak shit. Don't give out personal info. Secure that shit. Extremely clear guidelines.

But, from our higher ups, we are constantly told "ah that doesn't apply to us" and follow whatever the marketing/analytics/data team wants.

Been this way for decades.

A percentage of American have been emboldened with "ain't my problem".

It happened when they made COVID-19 political.

Yep! Call me a skeptic on these stories. I've seen too many, "I was fired because I clocked in 5 minutes late!"

Only for it to come out that while they were fired for "being late", it was the last straw because of all their HR complaints for sexually harassing dozens of women, offensive humor, and for creating a toxic atmosphere.

People would talk about Baltimore as being a really scary place.

And I wished they talk more about Tennessee being just a sad awful state.

I know it's really easy to assume boomer === bad.

But to call them all Trump supporters is inaccurate.

If you said "All white people are Trump supporters", that's slightly more correct than old.

 
 
 
 

One of the grocery giant's labor unions has authorized a strike, which follows a similar vote by Teamsters.

Question: did memes like this help?

Asking because I do street cleaning work in my neighborhood. And assholes keep throwing cigarette butts right on the ground.

I'd love to find a solution to have them quit smoking, which will lead to less cigarette butts.

I do this too. Shove it right into meals that it has no right in being in.

Burritos. Pizza. I often put it as a garnish below protein to force myself to eat it.

The cost of medical education is so high, America currently imports doctors from other countries. 1 in 5 doctors, according to the stats.

With the way we treat immigration, expect that number to drop significantly. And we have doctors fleeing.

Add that to having some of the most incompetent government officials who are propping up chemicals companies and disregarding societal health -- we are looking at a time bomb.

Thank you so much. I shouted no homo as I added quac to my long veiny burrito, and two-handed it into my mouth. I think I'm okay now.
