Really? Why the hell should I volunteer to work for one of the richest governments in the world? What are they going for? The wealthy and bored housewives? I have no issue with volunteering for non-profits to do things like food distributio

The only way I would take "unlimited PTO" is if there are contractual MINIMUM vacation requirements. Most "unlimited PTO" is, I would argue a fraud. It's obviously not unlimited for real. And it serves as a way for

First, you're lucky to get $10/hr, no benefits. Of course, 29.5h a week, but required to have 60h schedule open. And food service is horrifically abusive. And yes, the noncompetes ARE enforced, because it's not about you - it

GOOD! Noncompetes without a proper wage commensurate of the position is just slavery. And after the US civil war, a whole lot of slaveowners were also really upset in losting their slaves... But even they got reparations for losing "pr

Again, capitalist countries NEED the homeless people as a ultimate threat to everyone, that if you aren't rich or make someone else rich, you will end up living on the streets, homeless, destitute, hungry, and die. Removing that ultima

In capitalist societies, homeless is a required thing. Even if it didn't exist, it would have to created. What, what? Why? Homelessness is the ultimate threat in capitalist societies. "If you are not independently wealthy, or make

This definitely shouldn't be flagged, as edgy as it is. IBM materially provided computers knowingly to the WWII Nazies of Germany, to identify, track, and lead to execution. This isn't some plausibly deniable fact. IBM execs did t

If you work with the occult, then you're an occult practitioner. Where you are on that journey is your business alone.

There's some I've ran across that are much worse than average. The 2 I've seen are: 1. Magusitis: thinking you're some grandaster bla-de-bla, and that you can do anything. Basically, self destructive going to your head.

Sounds like a great case to get the fuck away from SMS and phone numbers. But hey, they still want your whole address book, and announce you're on signal to everyone else on signal. The whole "secure" thing is a joke. Its all

You can say that, but a lot of detergents and rinse aids use the class of nasty chemicals. But there's detergents and rinse aids that don't have it. What you're looking for is "Alcohol ethoxylates". Avoid these.

Try Yandex next time. It searches exactly what you look for, and has no 'removed for piracy' search deindexes.

They've also mostly rescued all animals as well from the area, including animals in homes, along with sheep and horses in pastures. When the volcano blows, it should only be property, building, and road damage.

Damn, you really are lost in "it's all about a cellphone" strawman you devised, eh? This is about companies permanently tying hardware they "sell" into a permanent-loan with undefined terms, or otherwise change the

I like diamonds. They are pretty. But we also look at the ethics of most diamonds. And aside custom lab grown, child exploitation and murder are the norm. I ethically refuse to pay any money into that system of child exploitation, child mur

I got my partner a platinum ring with a YAG stone grown and cut to my speficiations. I also designed the ring, and had it made. The YAG stone is bright blue-green, and just as shiny as diamonds. And on the upside, the local jewewer made it

No, again some garbage analogy is not even wrong. I buy hardware and pay money for a purchase. This purchase has remote control software that obeys the company, and not me, the owner. I cannot remove this remote control garbage. This makes

Wow, such a ridiculous HN take. A top notch restaurant does not keep or retain ownership of your stomach, bowels, or shit after eating at their restaurant. Apple "sells" hardware in a completely fraudulent way, by retaining contro

That's exactly what I've been saying. This "cloud controlled shit" is a rental with no terms and unlimited claw-back. These aren't sales. If I had a computer, installed remote controlling malware on it, sold it, and

Yep. They installed remote controls for the whole plant 3 days ago, along with backup generators.

Not quite the same thing. We've already been prepping for this. 3 days ago, we got completely remote control of the Grindavik geothermal facility. There's also a backup system installed by Orkan (petrol company). Roads are also sh

It's not "they don't want people'. It's that ISM has power limits, and most radio freqs also has "minimum power to accomplish communication". And the FCC knows in contentious RF environments, loudness wars

Lol, so I got a WeWork electronic badge, running circuitpython off of a few AA's and supports 4 SAO's. I wonder how much that's worth now HAHA. Any offers?

The masses are almost always willing to trade rights for 'ease'. It's also how we get to IoT, cloud-tied software and hardware, and all sorts of anti-purchaser tech, to benefit the actual owner. The longer I live, I realize t
