And forced arbitration should be invalidated.
Haiku, but honestly I’m just happy to see the conversations here
Dogs working contribute to society, but don’t talk. I don’t know why being able to talk would suddenly change things for cats.
No. Some of the worst politicians are young. Some of the best politicians are old. Age isn’t a problem. Undemocratic systems and bad politics are problems.
I’d like credit scores systems to be fully public and developed by the government. It would be far better than the three private systems Americans deal with now.
I don’t feel guilty. It’s fair to be suspicious of someone who covers their face without context like cold weather or a medical mask (could be sick or concerned about getting sick). The trick or test is to ask yourself “Do I/would I become equally concerned if this person was in a different racial category?” If the answer is “No”, de-escalate yourself. If the answer is “No”, look for the other markers that are actually setting off alarms for you. It’s not just covering the face. As others have pointed out there can be a variety of harmless reasons why people might do that. But look for how a person carries themself: where they keep their hands how they move their eyes. Or maybe you are just paranoid about hoodies in general, in which case you should try to develop a more holistic way of sizing people up.
When AirBNB first arrived, I think we thought it would be a tool to let people rent a spare room in their house short term to travelers, with a built in system for reviews and reputation building to ensure that it’s safe for both parties.
Turns out it’s a platform that enables wannabe real estate moguls to buy up housing and convert it into unlicensed hotels for a tidy profit.
Why yes, cancelling, shunning, etc is bad.
qmmp is very similar.
In the American model, Larry and Carl turn the tray themselves, there’s only one slice of pie on it, and Homer is still in the dungeon getting whipped.
Swear they’ve made search worse everywhere to keep us on aites longer.
Holy shit I never thought about what’s inside an LED bulb past the LEDs themselves.
Rockbox + sandisk is fantastic
I aim for a (un)healthy mixture of tech and political commentary, far more than I could ever actually listen to.
Based on your current selections, you seem to favor comedy/celebrities/comedians. I don’t follow too much stuff like that, but I have maybe two suggestions: Blocked and Reported for Internet bullshit (furry infighting, Adult Baby Diaper Lovers, Twitter drama). It tends towards a sort of moderate liberal/radical centrist politics. Srsly Wrong do kind-hearted goofy skits to explain their politics. Self-identified utopian socialists.
Most of the rest of the stuff I listen to is some variant of interviews with important thinkers or 2+ dudes/chicks/yos shooting the shit about socialism or FLOSS.
I rhink I’ve heard them called freight damage or scratch and dent grocers but this is already a thing.
Also nationwide lead removal fund.
