Yes, I agree wholeheartedly with you. They’re basically pirates. They’re pirates that wear suits.

We can’t forget that the USPS did operate in the “green.” Until Republicans in the 1990’s passed legislation that required post office workers a fat retirement pension. The pension program was specifically designed to run the “profitable” USPS into the “red.”

So, Republicans now 30 years later get to boohoo and cry about the inefficiency they manufactured to seize control of public assets to fill their own private suit pockets.

Sickening. Actually makes me physically ill thinking about this. I cannot wait for their comeuppance.

What do you mean by “is both”? I’m not just American. You’re making a lot of assumptions.

I was kind of hoping this would be like something with substance. But ok. If you want to change anyone’s mind Justin Timberlake isn’t the way. I don’t know why you’d work against yourself here.

Interesting. I mean, I’m sure Bernie has faults but I don’t really see the point in attacking someone who created and is holding the only tent pole for, frankly, a reasonable middle of the road candidate (if we view him in comparison to the rest of the sane world).

I get giving shit to Corey Booker. People are gray. I can list a handful of things that Corey has done lately that fit this meme.

I honestly don’t even know what this meme is referring to maybe I’m out of the loop.
But I agree with you, attacking Bernie isn’t the way. Reeks of agent provocateur.

My guess is it’s a fresh wave of propaganda to wedge the progressives. What’s new.

People don’t have to be perfect for us to join the cause and make it better. Don’t fall for it kids. We only get out of this if we ignore this bullshit and link arms.

Ps: and look, I get it if Bernie isn’t left enough for some of you. That’s ok to feel that way and it’s probably true for a good lot of you. But attacking him ain’t gonna solve the massive fuckstorm we are collectively going to go through. We either quit bullshit like this or die from factionalization. Like every other movement has in the past 95 years.

Find some other tree to bark up

The best summation of this was done in a speech by Kurt Vonnegut, Why my dog is not a humanist.

The full speech explains what you are going after.

In 1998, who could have predicted that in 2025, users would be the lords of porn pop-ups?

Forcing the Eye of Microsoft to gaze my mommy milker daddy dwarf bangers is truly the quintessential example of that which is nameless in the Tao.

Oh I see I see it’s the stump has sprouts and they will maybe grow? That’s fantastic news! I wish the tree well. It’s probably wondering what the f happened. Hadrian’s wall is a cool place to set down roots. I hope the tree is stubborn as hell and can start a new life.

They were grown ass men. Why the hell would they kill a living being like that? Trees talk to each other and they live well beyond our human years. The local area belongs more to the tree than any individual man—they’ll be here for centuries beyond us if they are lucky.

People don’t respect trees as much as they do animals and I do think that’s wrong. We should be very mindful of how we treat trees. I think we arrogantly underestimate plant life.

I’m sure some dwarves would call me a dirty elf for my feelings on this but chopping down trees like this for no reason is painful. I hope they get everything they deserve.

You’re a genius. I’m on it.

Always split the cache up. Some behind a fireplace suspended from a rope anchored in your attic. Some behind baseboard that isn’t nailed down. Some in the toilet tank. Don’t waste it all on the backyard.

I believe it. They disavow that they take any recordings of us before we approach but, while I’m not a suspicious person, I am suspicious of TSA and HLS. Heads up they’re going to start scanning our faces at physical border crossings in cars now too. We have the same right to refuse as citizens but you know how good that is if you’re dealing with a crooked agent.

Masks help when approaching but obviously not a cure all when you have to move it to be identified by card

I hate that this is a conversation we are having.

Correct just citizens

In America you can refuse to have your biometrics scanned still. This is true for coming into and out internationally. Just politely say no. They cannot force you to scan your face. I always refuse.

It’s because I’m specifically learning German and the universe shifted to my will. The universe created feddit.org to give me a clear path to achieve my goal of befriending Germans.

This only happpened because me, Tischbier, decided to take an interest in Germany.

You’re welcome.

(Joking aside, I noticed on Reddit before I left and before I started to learn German, that ich_irl was hitting the front page a lot too. My family decided to learn German together probably in part because of how funny Germans are. I watch German YouTubers now too (Spacefrogs and Staiy). Germany is a pretty big country and I think them the top leader of the free world! I have enjoyed reading the actual Germans takes on this topic. Prost!)

Yes! SO many people would never ever believe this kind of evil action without hard proof. It absolutely needs to be said and reported on! Any reaction less than this is dismissive and enabling.

Ja it’s the half meter Bratwurst for sure. That’s the main motivator to move to Deutschland. Große dicke Bratwurst 🤤

I thought we already proved multiple times that work from home clearly increased productivity across the board and reduced costs for the employ and employer.

The push to go back to an office is more about control. Not in a “I need to get my money out of you and make sure you’re ‘working’” but in a “I would rather spend more money to remind my workers that if they work for me—they are owned.”

It feels more like an issue with worker flexibility than worker productivity. Workers having a life and workers being happy means that they will eventually want other things. And usually those “other things” eventually lead to the owners losing a grip on societal and economic power.

Better to have workers not be people. People are unpredictable and profits need to predictably rise forever.

Supply for high quality white sand used for almost all glass making will be exhausted in 2037, according to British Geologist Michael Welland.

There will be a point in the near future where recycling glass will be less expensive than sourcing high quality sand.
