I think the fact that you never have to interact with /r/all on reddit makes it quite different.

What is strange is McDonalds at one point was by far the most consistent fast food place in the US. Personally it wasn't my thing but it was always a step above all the other chains. That hasn't been the case in a long time, qual

The phone rulings came from court cases. So sadly it has to reach a case, an in the meantime other folks are hurt with no recourse.

I just got a "try gemini in google chrome" pop up and the only option was to try or "remind me later". Even just the remind me later option gives me such a horrible vibe. F off Google and respect my choice.

This dragnet style data monitoring is illegal when it comes to phones, it probably should be illegal when it comes to cameras too.

The members vote in the same way I vote for the next president. I don't pick my choices, I just get two choices. And "not a union" is not a choice.

That MAY be what I'm referencing. US unions in my experience don't seem very horizontal and trend towards being very vertical.
914.
by duxup 1y ago
That's not my experience at all. The unions seem beholden to the folks running the union and a few influential members. If you tell them "hey having people poor to start their career seems like a bad idea" you will get squat

I feel like American unions really don't help themselves much. The way American unions operate they seem fit for less skilled jobs or very tracked jobs where there's a cookie cutter path for advancement and so on. But beyond that

I don't doubt there's fewer people in the trades, but I also don't see them making 120k generally and these claims seem questionable at best outside some very specific situations. I worked at a company that actually paid well

When I moderated a busy gaming forum long ago my most horrifying discovery was how many users I thought were children ... were very much "adults" by age.

I used to volunteer moderate a very busy forum. Our rule was that anyone who wanted to moderate “too much” was effectively not allowed to do so. The catch being finding those who would help out and moderate effectively was not easy. And ev
