My chickens can get pretty high. Only one can get a full 8ft off the ground, but they can fly pretty well for being non-flight birds. They can fly pretty far across the ground too, when they want to.

They hired a law firm with a history of representing companies against unions lmao.

I heard they’re having to hire retired people for security for the Olympics because all the unions are boycotting them over the retirement law macron pushed through. There’s also the fact that the river the Olympians are supposed to swim in is dirty and polluted. Also major plans for labor actions to shut down the airports and other places. They’re throwing students out of student housing to house the athletes. The people who are supposed to make the medals are on strike, so there will be no medals for the athletes. They’re trying to get students to drive the subways because the subway workers are planning on striking. It’s going to be a shitshow, and no one should go and support the Olympic Games unless they plan on being stuck in Paris.

I loved Rossmann, but he made a sharp turn to reactionary politics and selfish ideology about the time he really took off. His views on just about anything outside of right to repair are usually so far from right as to be entirely wrong. He also has this idea that because he’s good at repairing things, he must have great takes on everything, and started making so many ridiculously terrible politics videos it became almost impossible to find actually useful content. He’s a smart dude, but like many smart dudes, he’s an idiot in most ways outside his specialty.

My position is that community moderated servers are significantly more effective at controlling cheaters than any intrusive anti-cheat has ever been, and that the rise in intrusive anti-cheat coinciding with the death of community and self hosted servers is not a coincidence.

Boycotting can actually hurt the union, if market conditions suddenly worsen, it doesn’t matter if it’s because of boycotts or market conditions, it takes away some of their leverage. So I wouldn’t stress it too badly.

Organizing your own workplace and participating in solidarity events if you’re able are good things to do to help. eBay’s union has a Twitter, @tcgunioncwa I think it is, they sometimes post calls to action and such that are a good way to directly support the workers.

That is a very beautiful and useful way of articulating that. Thanks for sharing this, I have a new tool in my belt now.

You think they couldn’t Google what the Ukrainian first division is? No, they just thought it was more important to be anti-Russian than anti-Nazi.

The countless documented examples of specific individuals and terms being censored disproves that. Letting one thing critical of Musk stay =/= a free speech platform.

I didn’t check all of the comments, but most of the ones I saw were really poor jokes or just plain wrong. The reason that religion is so tied into conservatism goes back to Nixon, and the attempts made by Roger Ailes and others, including Ronald Reagan, to make sure a right wing president could never be held accountable again. This included a meeting with Reagan and hundreds of pastors in which they literally trained the pastors on how to convert their congregations to the rights hateful rhetoric, a big part of which was the demonization of abortion and the lionization of “the free market”. They’ve since been exporting this hateful rhetoric around the world by force and through traditional missionary style missions.

That’s actually the opposite of the foundation of democracy. Democracy spreads the power out through as many people as possible in order to lessen the potential for abuse by any individual actor. Electing representatives who have near unlimited power and no recourse for constituents isn’t democracy, its oligarchy.

Having worked internally to Samsung at that time, I can confidently say, no, it isn’t. They did it so that their number wouldn’t be behind apples anymore.
