"we're not doing illegal, and no you can't check."

I'll take F1 over Nascar any day.

Disclaimer: I've never sat down to watch either, but if the choices are "turn left" or "winding, twisting course" I think I'm going with the one that has more variety.

This is not how birbs should fly.

Air travel is cruel to the animals sitting in the lower decks.

In other news, I once though a customer asked if I wanted to see his banana, when he was trying to ask if we sold banana seats for a bicycle.

It was an awkward exchange.

Classic Jaffa Humor (lemmy.world)

A serpent guard, a Horus guard, and a Setesh guard meet on a neutral planet.

It is a tense moment. The serpent guard's eyes glow. The Horus guard's beak glistens. The Setesh guard's nose drips.

I'd love to see a video that takes this concept, but walks around with it. Literally

Start by getting out of a car on the side of the street or in a parking lot, and when the camera gets out of the car, all the "car areas" drop away, leaving only the paths you're "allowed" to take. Tiny sections right against the parking spaces, zebra crossings, sidewalks, all normal (or in this style).

Camera goes about a normal day, and as they're looking around, all the car designated areas are just voids.

Bonus points if areas you're technically not supposed to walk are boxed off in like a video game style DO NOT ENTER wall. For instance, there are sections of my city with NO sidewalks, up against private residences. So your options are walk over people's yards or in the street. In this scenario, it's a void against a wall. Good luck.

I'm just thinking about walking to get to downtown, and there's no way I could do it without being somewhere I'm "not allowed". And imagining the massive voids everywhere is a bit depressing. Not that roads and parking lot deserts are any less depressing... I need to go walk in the woods for a bit...

Without passion. And create art. Doing what you love by being yourself. Other people define and say you will follow your heart. Happy and free, not love your art and by inspiring people letting others tell you you can change the world.

Given the "recruiting agency" I wouldn't put it past someone to go "ooh, maybe if I get them fired, they'll come to me needing a job!"

So it's not boredom, it's just pure malice!

You're literally partially making sure you still get PAID when shit happens.

Very good point, and I honestly wonder how common that knowledge even is.

Then again, almost all anti-union propaganda hinges on people not knowing enough about the subject to call it out. As with most propaganda.

Legit had someone from my last job start going on a break room tirade about how "those damn unions just want your money" but strangely had no rebuttal when asked why giving them 2% of your paycheck is a bad thing when they negotiated your RAISE to be 15% and your health benefits add up to an additional savings of around 20%.

I'm SO SORRY you're getting extra money and healthcare rather than the NOTHING you had before.

Nowadays I like to print up cards with unionizing information on them, facts vs myths, links to read up more, anti-union tactics, links to join unions, links to find HELP setting up a union, and basically anything I could cram into a business card. Now I leave about 10 of them any time I go into a non union store.

Given how previous management has reacted to "someone" leaving these in the break room, I'm sure I've caused a few sleepless nights.

I heard the phrase "in the 1900s" to refer to the 90s recently.

I instantly doubled in age.
