I don't think a single axis adequately models the system, nor does the US two-party system that attempts to cram everyone into just two buckets.

Well, shoot. I go down a couple times a year for work. That would be a delightful slice of joy to otherwise dull trips.

Ah, but discrimination against Roma isn't racism because they actually are all dirty thieves!

Edit: nvm, OP posts indicate they expect more diversity of political opinions, which might mean they're actually looking for Truth Social instead of Lemmy.

When we were kids, my brother would get mean when bored. Low-grade physical stuff, hard pinches, pulled hair, coming into my room to harass me and break toys, enough to cause pain without evidence if I were to complain. I asked my mom to intervene, she didn't want to deal with it, so she gave me the old phrase, "if you don't know what to do, spit in a shoe and do it again at half past two".

So I spat in my brothers shoe every time he messed with me. And for good measure, I spat in my mom's shoe too for letting him continue to abuse me.

Wait, how do you go from TSA policy on shoes to a supermax prison in Colorado?

Psh, these people talking about removing one child from the world per year are trolling. This chart obviously means that by continuing to have zero children year over year, I get to drive a fleet of gas-guzzler cars as a reward.

When I traveled enough for work to build up frequent flyer status with a single carrier, yes, it was worth it. I picked which carrier to build status with based on routes available from where I lived and where I traveled most often. And candidate carriers were the larger name-brand ones because they had more routes.

As an individual traveling once or twice a year for vacation now, I just go with what's inexpensive, meets my schedule, and doesn't have a shit layover like 30 min or 4+ hours. I don't travel enough to build up a frequent flyer status, which is where perks with any particular airline kick in.

The manager noted such an effort would help “connect” warehouse and corporate teams.

Are they trying to build support among the white-collars for unionization of the blue? I can't think of a better way to boost union support among the white-collars. I hope they get the full experience of having to piss into bottles because break times are too short.

Only 75 out of 287,000 layoffs this year attributed to AI replacement, yet further down, IBM alone has replaced "hundreds" of HR employees with AI. Which is it?

Absolute trash article. Any vague gesture in the direction of a fact is poorly defined with no sources. This should only increase skepticism towards AI replacing writers and journalists.

I start with 1:1 if it doesn't specify, and 2:1 if it says "rich". Often I end up adjusting up from a 1:1 to a 1.5:1 semi-rich.

Ear plugs. Because that rustling of leaves is just a raccoon and most definitely not a serial killer. I like wax earplugs for sleeping versus foam.

Maintain hygiene regimens to greatest degree possible. Don't skimp on washing face or brushing teeth that you would typically do at home.

Food makes or breaks a trip for me. The weather could be awful, plans could go awry, but as long as everyone is well fed, there's potential.

I'm not a no-tech purist while camping but do try to use trips as a time to reset tech habits. Can you go for 24 hours without an Internet connected device? Kinda similar to the occasional dry week or break from coffee/caffeine: check in and see how you're interacting with tech.

Have a first aid kit and know how to use the stuff in it.
