   California protects employees from the threat of employers trying to force them into taking political action - i.e. you need to donate to a political candidate or attend a political event or be fired. It doesn't interfere with freedom

   PA courts determined that the previous 1983 ruling (protecting political party from employer termination) is not good law, and will not use it as precedence again. There are laws in place to prevent employers from coercing employees into po

   This case isn't a question of morality - Francesca Viola has openly admitted to spreading the false conspiracies and the other comments. She also appealed to her position of authority at the university in her own comments. She's

    Oat milk has more carbs than the rest of the alt (?) milks, and sometimes more than cow. Def could be the reason for feeling better.

    I've found Pu Erh tea is a great transition as a coffee drinker. It has that strong earthy/malty flavor, even if it doesn't have the caffeine. Just make sure you buy it from a brick instead of the loose leaf (which tends to

    Well in reference to the comment in the article about deporting muslims, the islamophobia is overlapping with xenophobia at the very least.

    Employment with this specific organization isn't a right, it's a contract between two parties. She's free to associate with employers who will take her and her racist views.

    Sure, but keep in mind that islamophobia, xenophobia, and racism are partially overlapping phenomena.

    That's assuming the games are writing to the SD cards and not the SSD though, right? If this is Debian/Arch OS, I'd assume they are writing to a system folder.

    Simply put: It's easier to to restrict WFH policies and then go lax on them later, as opposed to the opposite which would build a workforce accustomed to WFH that would revolt. I think there's a chance we'll see WFH loosening
