Ok. I’m gonna ask a question that sounds rhetorical and critical but I want you to know this is a genuine question.

Why are you using LinkedIn? What’s the point? What possible service can it provide you?

First of all; no shit, who isn’t?

Second; oh no, robots will learn how to write bad corpo bullshit. Won’t somebody please think of the PR team???

You may have an insulin issue. Or a gluten issue.

I also can’t eat that many carbs in a day.

If two parties are at odds with one another, and one on them is willing to use violence and the other isn’t, the violent party wins.

Non violence works when people care about what you’re going through. If the right people know and care they’ll come in and do violence for you to make it stop. Or at least verifiably threaten violence. But violence is happening whether you did it or not.

Nazis don’t give a shit about you, they’re eager for violence. They want to exterminate entire classes of people. Non violence does not work on Nazis, we’ve already seen this play out once before.

The delivery truck, Duck for short.

Cuz it kinda looks like a duck.

Tell me you didn’t read a fuckin thing without telling me you didn’t read a fuckin thing

Here’s another fun fact, wage theft is the biggest single source of theft in the US.

You’re up in arms against individual thievery and simping for the biggest thieves in the country.

Fun fact, dollar general has a habit of locking employees in the store and demanding they do work off the clock.

Dollar general has stolen now more from it’s own employees than anyone has ever stolen from dollar general. That’s before you get to the horrifically unethical shit they get up to that’s legal.

Fuck em.

That’s what the illegally armed and outfitted off duty police officer at the front of the store is for.

It’s ok. I survived. I’m not sure what he did but I survived it.

Listen buddy.

First of all, men are brutalizing women all over the world, every day, regardless of religion.

You should think about religion as less of a driver and more of a record. Like a dictionary.

People will do whatever they want to do, and then they will justify it. If there happens to be a few convenient passages in a religious text justifying setting your spouse on fire, they’ll repeat that until they’re blue in the face while dousing a woman in gasoline.

And sure, you can say that they use that text to tech their kids, but they’re still just teaching the bits they want to.

The point is, Muslim, Hindu, Christian, doesn’t matter. All major sacred books have bits about brutalizing women that step out of line, and the people that really like those bits tend to climg to them to justify being horrible fucking people.

It’s salt. It’s 100% salt. Half of it is sodium chloride and, to keep the label honest, the other half is potassium chloride.

Hi, I’m, among other things, an industrial safety guy.

It’s understandable not to know this, but I’m industry there’s a standard practice of locking out equipment that’s being maintained. Either by physically placing a lock on the power box or by simply putting the plug to the device in your pocket for smaller equipment. And then ensuring that all the energy in the equipment has been exhausted and that the machine cannot be started.

This is the subject of one of many annual trainings for everyone in any given facility.

When changing blades or cleaning equipment, it would be standard that it’s locked out during this process. So wearing gloves and presumably arm guards to protect against laceration when working with blades would be not only acceptable but I imagine expected.

Most of us have seen the “lathe video.” We know.

Elated; Elcor Hamlet was the first version I truly understood.

They make cut resistant gloves specifically for working with things that are meant to cut through skin and bone. I’m wearing a pair as I type this. A3 cut protection has worked on all the band saw blades I’ve changed.

The Elcor are really where the series shines for depth of acting.

Emotional; this was my favorite game series for a long time. Excited; hopefully the upcoming one will live up to the series’ name.

I’m commander Shepard and this is my least favorite comment on Lemmy

Did they not give you fucking gloves?

85% of Russia’s territory is effectively empty. Almost their entire population lives to the west of the Urals. Any territory China would be interested in would be nearly empty.

Pretend?
