Freedom of expression via violence, much like Trump.

Damn, it really IS useless in all forms.

Use it for kindling then.

Why even bother folding it? That takes too much effort, just stuff it into the can.

3,000 out of a population of 75,000 or so. An okay start, but not enough. Why aren’t you out protesting more than once every two months?

GROND, GROND, GROND, GROND

“Attack subs with ICBM launch capability” is the cat’s name.

Who do you think gave them their cushy jobs?

Trump is the symptom of the disease that is the Dis-United States Located in North America (DUSLINA).

That’s geopolitics for ya.

I used to collect Amazon gift cards from walking apps so I could get books and other things from them. After buying a small Jackery unit and solar panel last week, I’ve switched my gift cards to other, non-US options. I refuse to even give them pitiful ad revenue.

The point I was trying to make is that the vast majority of the dot com craze was grift. So is the current AI boom.

What would have been interesting is if they could make the car accident ruining the Ten Commandments actually be a form of First Amendment expression.

Good, all AI in its current form does is make people lazy, stupid, and possibly crazy. It has a place, but not as a pale shadow of the dot com bubble.

Then God or the Fates (or whatever you want to call the Universe) had better things in store for you than that job.

I want to keep my new job private for my own personal reasons, but the previous job is a city janitor for various hockey arenas. I’ve learned not to burn myself out working for someone else, and I love the novelty of being able to work in a unionized environment, hence the sitting on my bum whenever I get the chance.

Don’t get me wrong, there are days where I don’t have any time to sit at all, but there’s a lot more downtime with this job than any others I’ve had.

Why should you feel guilty about doing some discreet reading/listening on the clock when all the rest of those lazy assholes can get away with it? Pardon my language, but seriously.

The only job worth putting 100% work into? Owning your own business. I did it before, and got sick of working all the time. Now, I’m finishing up a job where I could sit on my ass and read for half the shift because they were hurting so badly for people, and going into another role where when I work overnight shifts, I can basically read all the time.

May I ask what you do for work? If you have a desk job, is there any way you can incorporate personal e-books into your work?

People are lazy and want to be allowed to be lazy. If you look like you’re “working too hard” then you’ll make the rest of them look bad, and the bosses will cut back their positions, and make more work for them. So, why not make that somehow work to your advantage, if you like to read?

This is how demand destruction for US vehicles in Canada begins.

No doubt! Even though I live in an area which has snow six months of the year, I’m planning on getting myself a bicycle to get around for basic things like going to work or smaller shopping trips. The less I can use the car, the better.
