It feels like that started happening around 2014-2015. I genuinely wonder if he is afflicted with some mental issue. I stopped following him and the comics when he started blogging about how great trump was.

As a society we should not create our support creating through inaction an environment where people feel it’s necessary to sell their dignity. Would you agree?

Amazon is big enough that it can create systemic problems where free market doesn’t work. If everyone in a town is being run out of business, people feel they have no choice but to take up that job.

That’s because the higher pay comes at the cost of peeing in bottles aka losing human dignity.

It feels like there’s no shortage of people out to defend Amazon either.

I disagree that it’s sensationalized. The intentions do seem to work towards neutralizing.

You probably already know this: This has less to do with India or Indians and more to do with the fact that outsourcing a whole project tends to go to low bidders and hiring is held at a high bar. This is just self selection. Pay top dollar and you’ll get really good results with outsourcing as well.

When we had kids (party recently), there was education about breastfeeding but I did not see pressure and zero mention of IQ. They did have tables showing the nutrients in Breastmilk vs formula. That itself was scientific. No judgement either way. In fact they did mention they understand some families can’t or decide they don’t want to.

Of course this is anecdata.

Uhh what? How did you get this?

In my experience it’s been the opposite. There’s stigma around breastfeeding in public. People aren’t breastfeeding and using formula because of a lack of education and the associated stigma.

This is exactly it. I fly to India. SEA to FRA to India is the general route. Lufthansa has the shortest flight times including the layover in Frankfurt.

Every other airline takes at least a couple of hours more. Some take 4+ hours longer.

I laugh my ass off so many times I see this. The toy is on the side and the box that the toy came in is apparently more fun. That or Costco boxes. They’re sturdy and can fit kids inside them. Lol

100%

My kids (boys) have probably a couple thousand dollars worth of toys in the house. You know what they enjoy playing with? “Toys” that we’ve made together. Planes, boats etc. the one exception probably is Legos. Legos are cool!

Get legos from garage sales or something and open the doors to endless fun!

Frankfurt airport is marginally better. Flights stop in the middle of the runway. Take a bus. Buses are late. Walk for what feels like eternity. No regard for accessibility. I’ve met multiple senior citizens frail, waiting for their wheel chairs and worried that they’re going to miss their connecting flights.

As good as German engineering is, the airport infra is equally worse.

It’s a shame. I like flying lufthansa. They have the shortest flight times to Asia from the west coast.

It’s easier to transition.

Things look and cook similar to what you’re used to. It helps plan meals better and is less disorienting.

Or peanut butter.

Is that the case? My experience is that many people am have less patience for people who are willfully ignorant and intentionally anti-intelligence and anti-progress. Given the political climate, at least in the US, would you blame them?

In my experience, I find people more understanding than ever about genuine medical issues and things that aren’t choices that someone has made - something they’re born with.

I think the two are very different.

Won’t that cause the fonts to download again if they were loaded by Google fonts? I thought the reason to use something like Google fonts was to have the fonts download only once.

Relax, sir/Ma’am. The person above you isn’t playing a victim or anything of the sort.

How about you provide data to prove him wrong instead of just saying he’s perpetuating a false narrative ?

What big use cases do we have that are life changing for people?

Heard about the day 1 thing? It also applies to people. I feel Amazon views Human Resources as tissues to use and discard. You know it needs to be discarded and you know a fresh one is better. Might as well use it up fast and toss it out. The next person coming in will be full of optimism and enthusiasm about their “day 1”.

There’s literally a screenshot app that you can launch with 0 shortcuts needed.

Tip, May be not a pro tip for people who can’t remember hot keys:

CMD + Space Screenshot enter

You can do everything from here. CMD shift 4, CMD shift 5, etc are all accessible through here.

Not only are these expensive, they’re hard to find.

A few years ago I asked my (Indian) in laws to gift me a nice wooden chess set in lieu of the usual gifs they get for me from India. I asked for it thinking it’ll be easy for them to get and it’ll be something I’ll cherish and find use for instead of dealing with clothing sizes or designs I might like.

It was absolutely not like that. The quality of the pieces is so drastically different and now I know why. Even now after they spent 2x-4x more than a good quality plastic set the bishop isn’t that much taller than the pawns. The rook is as tall as the pawns. And that was after they spent a lot of time finding a decent set that had a good feel and ensuring the due isn’t chipping off.

Is this The first time a magazine cover of a prominent publication was generated by AI?

Here is another hit piece that picks the argument that processed food is not healthy for you and equates all plant based food to processed food and therefore plant based food is not good for you. ANY highly processed food isn’t good if you eat daily. Highly processed meats are even worse than highly processed plant food.

Common guys at least try to be less obvious about receiving payments from the meat industry. Come up with some new arguments.

I watched the video and they did plan. The journalist showed notes she had prepared.

Yeah this is a good idea. Going to drop it off at a friends outbox.

I’m going to get real petty about this. Thanks for sharing!

Local businesses just give the post a bunch of shit to drop at every address. Your and my post person doesn’t give a shit about our opt outs. They’ll deliver this to everyone. I’ve tried man. I’ve lost hope at this point.

My post person wrote “you can’t just decline mail” and dropped it back in my mailbox. I did write “return to sender” on it. I even tried writing “return to sender. Declined by receiver”.

I wrote to the postmaster general. Nothing came of it.

I’ve done all of this multiple times. It got better for a couple of months and then started again. The same senders. Real estate agents, coupons, houseware ads… I’ve even written “return to sender” and my post person wrote “you can’t just decline mail” and dropped it back in my mailbox.

I’m so sick of this.

I should read more closely. :)

Thank you!
