Being in the US, my career is unfortunately the center of my universe because I rely on having it to afford literally anything else. The system here is one build on dependency, and just like in any abusive relationship, they make it very, v

Expanding a tiny bit on your point, from where I am sitting, it all be summed up with greedy, plain and simple...and extends further to Capitalism as a whole, not just corporate America. I work for a US-based manufacturing company that has

Oh! Sorry, I did not meant to give you the impression that I was calling you elitist. It was more a friendly jab at myself that I did not quit understand what you meant, but was curious. Your explanation makes sense. I guess I can say with

Can you elaborate for plebes like myself?

Thanks for these links, for all the good they might do. I think my favorite part about the impact of the "micro plastics everywhere" debate is, just like with climate change, you have a massive number of people who will deny any

This is the correct take. In the US, workers discussing issues like wages is a protected right (NLRB stuff). Nowhere does that imply a company has to act on that talk. That's up to the company. However, it is quite clearly stated by th

I was not in the same industry, but I once had a remote job that kept me tethered to my desk because I was constantly responding to phone calls. After about two months of that, I ended up purchasing a cheap walking pad (think slow treadmill

Maybe we need to, I dunno, rethink the way we work in general. Stop chasing silver bullets and admit that movement is medicine. Reading articles like this reminds me of the people I've watched exhaust every possible option for weight l

You raise the question I ask every time I spin up a VPS on one of the providers I use; do I trust this company? There's still no clear rules that say Apple, Akamai, AWS, etc have to protect me or my data if the right people start askin

Depends on who you ask. Both sides demonize the other, but say they don't. Republicans are just much, much better at it. The ads and rhetoric are all designed to solicited emotional responses from the constituency, putting them in a ve

I've been voting in the US since the 1990's. We've never had a presidential candidate that won and actually delivered on their promises, all of which have generally hovered around the idea that "things will be better thi

Maybe just go vote. More important that the generally unproductive debates is the fact that the US, even in this contentious election, needs to learn how to actually show up to the polls. The highest voter turnout we've had was 66% w

Had no idea about the drama surrounding October. Thank you for the recommendations. Kirby looks nice, as well, at first glance. Will be trying both Winter and Kirby this weekend. I am really struggling getting Ghost up and running properly

You've convinced me to give it another shot. Another commenter also pointed out Drupal's complexities, which I should have realized, in retrospect. I am also looking at October, which sounds like it checks some of my boxes, but we

On the off chance that someone here has recommendations, I'll reply and say my experience with Ghost Pro was different. I am trying to start a small blog that will have a handful of writers, so the idea of using some kind of lightweigh

Maybe I am misreading, but I am seeing mostly bad reviews complaining that the app can only be installed on a single device? Otherwise the game/treatment has a net positive effect?

It is wild how well the old marketing worked, leaving consumers to think Teflon was something close to indestructible. In my industry, a lot of the machines I work on use Teflon bearings, and customers are almost always flabbergasted when

I should clarify that when dedicated bike lanes are present, I absolutely look for cyclists in both directions. Again, setting expectations is important. It's also why we use turn signals. My reference to cyclists goinh the wrong way t

Have you ever driven through a downtown urban area? You can't go more than 30mph anyway, even if you wanted to. There is simply too much connections, turns, etc. And yet, I still disagree that pedestrians should be able to just enter t

I think you misunderstood what capital is. See, one does not become a Capitalist without taking advantage of others. Most people don't have the initial capital to build the stove and sell it to other Capitalists, so they end up, as in

You can still find some artists on Bandcamp that release on mini disc. Whenever I see them, I buy one to try and help encourage more artists to do this. And of course, many artists release on cassette. I have an album from Dirty Art Club on

You don't think it has more to do with the tech having hyper-specific use cases and being too expensive for most consumers to just casually own? Don't get me wrong, I think it is wonderful tech, but people pushing for VR/AR t

Sure. Now let's turn that same energy on cops that regularly violate US Constitutional rights of their victims.

Former Detroiter, here. That's a good way to get shot in an urban environment, too. Finally, something the two residential categories have in common!

It's called Accelerationism. Those with the resources to weather the collapse feel it is their duty to bring it about so they can restart civilization "correctly" this time.

Isn't your last paragraph part of the problem, though? To paraphrase, you use Firefox's password manager for things you don't care about. So, those simple passwords are tied to small accounts that, individually add up to noth
