McDonald's is a place people come with their community. Older folks sit there for hours etc because it's air conditioned/warm. The community doesn't really intersect with the employees though, besides the employees being

The problem with deontological arguments is, they tend to develop along lines that people are comfortable with. Isn't it interesting that we find it immoral to think of people besides ourselves having sex, or sex that we dislike? As a

It would be hearsay if the employee testifying had heard another person say they saw the box opened. This is witness testimony under oath. That doesn't make it true, but it does make it perjury for the mentioned act to have not happene

Amazon allows people to use Slack internally. Chime is still at least the back end for all meetings. And in practice, because Chime chat is still supported, many managers tell their teams to always keep Chime open in case someone messages

The furor about the lab leak theory isn't solely due to the 3 hospitalized workers, but also due to a well-sourced article [0] written by a editor of the Science section of the New York Times (as well as for Science and Nature), Nichol

In particular autistic burnout usually results in poorer emotional control (anger and depression swings), increased sensitivity to sensory input, and skills loss (becoming unable to do things that they once did naturally). All of which make

My grandma too. A week from first positive test to dying. It must have been very scary for her. No funeral. I found the part that continually makes me melancholy is all of these people alone in the hospital, separated from family, and feeli

The claim that not a single person had a Parler account is trivially refutable. https://twitter.com/azforeman/status/1348648808390008832/pho... If he didn't bother to look at a famous person like the &qu

There are bad-faith actors on the left. This isn't just kids disagreeing though, this is one of your boys helping push the mom out of the house so the boys get preferential treatment. It is acceptable in times like these for people to

To me, this sounds a lot like "both sides, both sides". Politics is going to be messy. There's a lot of fait-accompli-as-fiat. But while there are two parties, there is no inherent need for the parties to be symmetrical. Ther

The pipe that stopped drilling in Seattle was 10 years old, not 100. It was meant to measure the seismic stability of the viaduct that was eventually removed. The tunneling firm was found to be aware of the pipe and liable for delays. http

This is a little pedantic, but I don't think it's fair to say France has also had a terrible experience with nuclear energy. According to Wikipedia [1], they've have about 15 major incidents totaling about 1 death and 300 mil

I suppose I look at this as sad from a different angle than you. The brand itself has been losing consumer trust for decades, due to changing tastes and increasing health-consciousness. Eventually, that makes it so the company can't pa

I don't think you can use Hostess as a simple case of the BCTGM getting too hungry for dues, since Hostess has reformed under a new corporation after a defensive bankruptcy filing, to hire an entirely new set of employees. That is some

4 breaks a day isn't either enough or too much in general-- it's very job and industry dependent. Refusing to provide breaks is illegal, true, but it's trivially easy to legally force employees to take many fewer than they&#x
