"Say what you mean, mean what you say."
No one should feel pressured to the point of taking a fake pull. If you don’t want to smoke, just pass...that’s normal. Taking a fake pull only wastes it. No need to pretend, just chill and enjoy the vibes.
You also can't fake a bong rip.
You would definitely enjoy Preacher. Graphic novels are great, show is better than ok.
Guy ends up gaining "the word of God" as an ability
There's definitely an inherent paw clause to this power...unintended consequences galore!
Probability has more than one side, bend it one way and its also being bent away from another.
Bend probability to my will.
Example: Jump out of a plane (see a bowl of petunias and a sperm whale on the way down), bend probability so that against all odds; I start to fly.
Cologne, worn moderately.
Smelling good is a huge part of being attractive. You can legit make heads turn by wearing a scent that doesn't reek, doesn't smell like everyone else, and compliments your own body oils and smells.
I'm imagining being in the row directly behind the last row of reclining seats....its not a pretty scene
Gently rocking in the corner with my head in my hands… sobbing angrily, furious that bears just get to sleep through this shit.
The Fediverse demographic skews very heavily away from anything that smells even remotely like promotion or sales (and especially AI).
Your best bet, and possibly the only meaningful way, to leverage the Fediverse as a business is to use it for thought leadership. Write, post, comment about specific meaningful things your business is centered around. Do not promote, do not use contextual links, do not direct people to your website for more info.
This isn't a place for direct lead gen at scale. It's a place to accumulate like minded people, and work towards those people talking about you inside their own networks.
It's the long game, recognition and association; not engagement and monetization.
Key takeaway...
King said it's also possible that CUPE's refusal to comply could work in the union's favour.
He pointed to the example of Ontario Premier Doug Ford's government ordering CUPE's education workers back to work when they went on strike in 2022.
Ontario government repeals anti-strike law for CUPE education workers
"The entire labour movement in the province responded with the threat of a general strike. And the government was forced to back down and take their legislation away," King said.
"If something similar happens here, we could very well see no penalties. If labour mobilizes in support of the flight attendants, they could very well be victorious in this."
This is what supporting your fellow Canadians would be. So many news outlets and talking heads are focusing the conversation around the Canadians impacted by the flight cancellations and disruption. This is an attempt to sway the court of public opinion, and make it so people are pointing fingers at 'greedy' employees because they're inconveniencing the average traveller. Instead, people should be having conversations around how to support a subset of the population that is otherwise facing the same struggles as they are....putting food on the table, getting out of hand to mouth living, and being able to plan for a future which includes a semblance of financial security.
Elbows up, indeed.
