It's been so long since I've been to the movies that I didn't even realize that theatres now have assigned seats.

Your insurance should have a nurse line. If not, your company likely has a employee assistance program (EAP) that might be able triage.

Well, food and drinks cut into the theatre's bottom line.

I'm not opposed to a lemmy-based tracker but will admit I've never made one before.

I have extensive dev experience and would be willing to learn.

My constraints would be time honestly.

I've been saying this for almost a year. Not open AI specifically but any company with a board of directors.

They aren't considering the shareholder value of their most expensive liability: the CEO.

He (because let's face it. It's going to be a he in most cases) is paid millions of dollars with a golden parachute. Literally money that could be given back to shareholders through dividends.

The fact that Boards of Directors aren't doing this could be evidence that they aren't looking out for shareholders' interests

But we're not letting them suffer. Their governor and their state legislature is.

These states are ignoring all evidence that their state will be drastically changed due to global warming. The states are the ones holding their people hostage, not the federal government.

The Federal highway commission has held back road funds for states that refused to adopt various safety laws.

Why should FEMA be any different?

Any state that does this should not get any FEMA funding.

I understand that the company is protecting its liability or whatever.

The company can do that by training your boss not to ask questions related to your health.

All tax benefits, from marriage tax deductions to corporate tax elimination, is the government picking and choosing which behaviors it wants to encourage.

That's why conservatives didn't want gay people to get married because they saw it as government endorsement of their behavior, and not the government recognizing equal rights.

I think the filibuster is a valuable tool that is important for defeating certain bad legislation

What might be bad for you might be good for someone else.

I agree with getting rid of the procedural filibuster. I suspect the reason it exists in the first place is because Senators are getting old and don't want to actually do it.

So, for good and bad, make them actually stand and deliver. If they feel so strongly that a bill needs to be killed, then let them fucking earn it.

I've seen some arbitration agreements stating that you can't collaborate with other customers who are affected by the same issue, requiring each customer to have a different attorney.

Some companies really want to make it impossible for you to win any significant damages against them.

At that point, they are just telling on themselves.

If they raise the price, then they only get money once. If they sell your data, now they have an income stream.
