All motion is relative, so it’s valid to define that the center of the universe, around which everything else revolves, is my cat.
(by her definition)

How about dividing the US into 50 states with equal population?

YouTube voice auto-translation is completely worthless, but they still shove it down your throat.

Busch?

There is no inherent value in it. A translation only makes sense if enough people will buy and read it to make it worth the effort and cost.
But I do think (actually fear), we’ll soon get AI-translated e-books where you can select the language at checkout.

Plot twist: It’s Alaska.

It’s a wolf and a flock of sheep all inside a fenced-off meadow, thinking that everyone can do whatever they want and it will all work out to everyone’s favor.

Awesome, let everyone freely enter into any contract they’ll agree to, instead of a government enforcing rules at gunpoint!
Except the contract is written by a multi-billion-dollar conglomerate, and the one “agreeing” to it is a single mom who will lose her income, apartment and access to child care if she “freely” refuses.

When I was a child, my dad and I had a lot of fun feeding ducks with bread he had dipped into gin, until they ran to a puddle to drink water, then come back for more bread, then run around in circles cause they couldn’t find the puddle anymore.
Pretty horrifying to think of now cause I still remember that it never even crossed anyone’s mind that what we were doing was bad. Other people watched and laughed.

It was so bad under Ford that families that used to be able to do well with one job needed Mom to get a job too.

Oh boy, am I glad those days are in the past…

That science can’t explain how bumble-bees are able to fly, since their wings are too small for their weight.

All of those are true, and well-researched using the scientific method.

Your mother was a hamster and your father smelled of elderberries!

But NK is supported by China which is a lot stronger than all the Decadent Western Imperialist countries combined, no?

it was a different user

I had a German language “choose your own adventure” book as a kid that was written like that. I think one of the stories was about a boy time-traveling to the time of the dinosaurs.

BattleTech/BattleDroids?

Raytheon is now called RTX.
They’re the ones who are so evil they keep having to rename themselves.

I wouldn’t call EA anywhere close to the worst company in the world.
Serious contenders based on their overall effect on humanity would be Monsanto, RTX, Aramco, UnitedHealth and Nestlé.

Sorry for the misunderstanding.
It began with a little thing, simply writing an e-mail to the union, and kind of grew from there.

I joined a union and organized the election of a workers council at my workplace.
Union dues are 1% of my salary.

In the past 5 years, we managed to enforce:

• the right to work from home
• 20% pay for the time spent on call after hours, plus 1 day paid vacation for each week you’re on call (so I now have 42 days + unlimited sick days)
• a company car for on call duty, which you’re allowed to use privately, too
• work phones for every employee (instead of having to install the company MDM on your private phone)
• convertible desks for everyone
• and a substantial pay raise
