Well yeah, but what this image doesn't mention is what would happen to the shareholders if we had paid leave for all in the US 😰 /j
Gen Z job seekers should be allowed to steal everything this person owns.
How many turn signals do we think are going to be used during this convoy?
I'm always telling people to REALLY watch Napoleon Dynamite. I think it got quoted and proto-memed to death when it came out, leading to most people having an unfair idea in their head of what the movie is.
The soundtrack is phenomenal. The acting is (mostly) way better than you may have thought it was. Jon Gries (Uncle Rico) was nominated for an Independent Spirit award and he absolutely deserved that nomination. The cinematography is excellent, especially knowing how much it cost to make + how much experience the crew had. Though it's not explicitly said, I think it's ultimately a story about neurodivergent people finding friendship, solidarity, and happiness in a world not made for them.
Also, the scene where Uncle Rico throws a steak at Napoleon is still funny.
Read the title, thought "oh, the first nations folks are gonna be PISSED" and was pleased to find out it was their idea.
Just in time for the Bell Riots 👀
Do April Fools jokes count? I was bereft after reading an article 13+ years ago from a trustworthy gaming site that said Armor Games (a popular flash game dev at the time) was taking over all development for the Elder Scrolls games.
(In retrospect, maybe that wouldn't have been the worst thing after Skyrim came out)
Sadly, there's not a singular ethical Amazon replacement out there. You've got alternatives like Walmart and Target but I don't think they rate much higher than Amazon, honestly. I'll throw out Grove Collaborative for cleaning supplies/home things/toiletries, Thrive Market for foods (though they have a membership fee), Kindhumans and Uncommon Goods for a wide variety of things. Here's a list of some more places that might be useful - bearing in mind there is no one panacea.
Mostly agree, but a lot of thrift stores in the US have gotten significantly more expensive and lower quality over the past 10-20 years. You can blame resellers (like vintage stores) for at least the second part of that, but also fast fashion in general.
I grew up on forums / IRC / IMs, later transitioned to Myspace, then Twitter / Facebook / Tumblr / Instagram. I had a lot of fun over the years, it definitely saddens me that I can't get the things I liked about those experiences back.
If you've got a Micro Center near you, that's the way to go. They may not be small but they're definitely not Best Buy and their selection is typically great, barring any industry-wide shortages.
I think a significant part of this problem is that, from what we can see in the photo, they 100% should have pulled forward so that they didn't entirely block the sidewalk. Someone coming through there on a wheelchair or with a stroller would have a real bad time. It also looks like it's out in the road a little, which is very inconsiderate as well.
