Discovery is full of shows all about people looking for things but not discovering them.
Harder to hit when the button is in retrograde too.
I think of them like swear words. Not on-the-internet swearing, but public swearing. To use their full power, words like “fuck” need context and - more importantly - discretion and frugal usage.
Overuse of emojis is even easier and harder to look at. But when used right, they serve a purpose. Otherwise it’s “Why the fuck do users fucking dislike the fucking use of emojis on fucking Lemmy?”
Unpopular opinion time, but hardly any. They leave me alone for the most part since I got old and all the bugs are gone and I just live and let live unless they’re also around a less… oddly benevolent and susceptible… family member.
As counterpoint, I grew up as an outdoorsy person in northern BC, I know skeeters and have probably killed more than many downvoters could imagine except Manitobans.
Maybe someone should warn the countries supplying Russia too, you fucking fiend.
Starbucks is anti-climate pass it on.
I was going to make a joke involving
but I don’t want to spark a conspiracy narrative on the fringes of the bell curve.
But please, continue to try and join the world stage full of master manipulators.
I hope the judge so much as delivered a newspaper at the age of nine let alone worked a day in any business that bought advertising in any media because then we may see the smack down.
This whole thing is so absurd as someone who was on the media end. The advertiser-media relationship is (was?) wholly one of supplication to the client. It’s absolutely bonkers to see a media entity demand client business and sue. It’s like Opposite Day in Capitalism Land.
Kinda anti-capitalist actually there Elon.
At the current rate governments would spend the world’s remaining time making a cozy place for them to spend eternity alone.
Let me put it in business terms.
It is a contract. A labour agreement between an employer and a group of employees who have every right to democratically agree on some things like pay.
It lays out expectations with responsibilities and ramifications for both sides and provides a stable term once an agreement is made.
It prevents price fixing by an employer in the sense that a lone employee can have their ‘price’ fixed by the employer and their roles ‘fixed’ by the employer with no power to fight back as a lone person against at least a company lawyer. An employee in a union with a collective agreement has counterweight to abuse because they too can pool resources, they too can cause harm to the other side and fight back, and it works - because it’s a contract.
Yeah. I don’t even read, I just add to the list.
The audio version is where it’s at in this case. It’s short and narrated by King which really makes it.
I’d highly recommend it, even as an autobiography. It really shows who he is, was, and is only about 30% craft advice sprinkled among good shit.
I’ve re-listened to it countless times.
It certainly is his book on the craft, but it’s so much also autobiography and breakthrough underdog story too. It’s a great read/listen even if not seeking story advice.
Life.
People desperately underestimate the value of one’s time. It was a hard lesson to learn.
Good call. I imagine it’s different provincially, but that shit is yours and you paid for it. A physicians office has no right to force you to their pharmacy nor should an optometrist have rights to your post-script sales.
Shit was like that in BC. But when Costco, Clearly Contacts, and similar came along it started to become absurd. I mean, I get why, but it also showed the chasm in costs and selection.
As far as I know, at least in BC, your Rx is your property and your right to have and take elsewhere.
It wasn’t always this way iirc. A lot of shops before 20 years ago or so would act like in your example.
“The Iranians know that [former] President Trump will stop their reign of terror just like he did in his first four years in the White House,” Cheung said of the campaign’s suspicions.
Yeah, that’s it. Right.
I’m gonna put this here out of caution: /s
