The stars and planets affect the lives of astronomers every day though.

The trick is to read something that’s fictional and less dry. Fantasy would be an excellent choice. Sci Fi if you still enjoy things slightly more grounded in reality.

I tried Cane’s a few years back when it was just starting to open up in SoCal and I was underwhelmed. The fries were soggy, the chicken was okay and the bread was alright. I just couldn’t understand why there was a massive drive through line that rivals In n Out when there were so many better independent fried chicken restaurants around (Dave’s Hot Chicken, Howlin’ Ray’s, Jaxon’s Chicken, etc.).

That’s why they look like zeroes to reflect this fact.

Take the route California is taking and educate the kids about worker’s rights. Teach them it’s not okay to be exploited at the work place and encourage them to tell their parents about it. Civics classes should also be taught to learn how the government works and what people’s rights are under the Constitution. Encourage people to unionize now that they know how the system works.

Once the basics have been taught, elect people who care about government reform for social policies by paying for them with higher corporate and personal wealth taxes. Reform the tax system the wealthy have been using to hide their money. All their money is tied up in stocks and they’re living off of multimillion dollar loans? Fuck them, tax a big percentage of the loan. All these things can be done to indirectly seize the fruits of their production at least.

This joke’s getting as stale as the “attack helicopter” shit your alt-right counterparts say.

It’s Facebook for corporate shills and people who pretend to be one when looking for a job.

Assuming nothing is done to curb the recent capitalist tendencies of universities to inflate tuition then yeah it would be mostly restricted to the wealthy. It might be possible that market forces would coerce them to become cheaper again in order to not end up getting shut down from lack of funding from lower enrollment though.

This is infuriating. No one should be denied borrowing a book because they’re not at their “grade level”. That’s the kind of shit that contributes to people losing interest in reading from a young age.

I’ll completely jump ship once SolidWorks can run on Linux. Wine is still a little iffy with it.

I hate to say it but there are simply so many subjects to cover in a single day that it’s hard to reinforce the lessons learned in class within the given amount of time in a school session. Maybe if schools were structured in a way in which fewer subjects were taught each day would the lessons stick better without the need of homework.

Recruiters keep asking me to apply and I must’ve told them to pound sand about 3 times in the past 2 years.

The janitor works for $8/hour out of desperation. The CEO works for $10k/hr out of greed. The difference in pay rates based on position should be regulated. I think a CEO should only be paid at most 10 times more than the lowest paid job in any organization. That way everyone will have some parity and a shot at a decent life even at the low end.

That’s a long drive. I’ll have to put on an audiobook.

Same in Mexico though in El Salvador it’s referred to beating someone up if spoken as a verb. I got really confused when a Salvadorean guy was telling me he fucked another guy only to find out it was actually in the context of a fight.

I wouldn’t mind if they passed the savings on to the consumer… But they won’t.

Easiest way to address this is to wear a metal Casio watch and have it touch anything metallic attached to a wall like door latch guides or maybe even coat hangers to dissipate any static electricity. Another choice is to grab the metal part of a key and tap them as well.

Someone who’s already cheating on a partner of their own. The relationship is likely to be a self fulfilling prophecy.

Okay I’ll bite for the sake of conversation. How is it more complicated than an ex-KGB authoritarian wanting to take over the country next door?

Well whenever regular people go in to their communities they get ridiculed and have their comments removed or even banned, so what’s the difference?
