American here. Just want to voice my support for this effort. Consumers are long overdue in striking back at companies making record profits from our necessities.

Give those hosers hell, eh.

UNFORTUNATELY, HEALTH INSURANCE DOES NOT COVER TEETH, MF'ER. YOU NEED SEPARATE DENTAL INSURANCE FOR THAT.

I think one thing a lot of people don't know now is that back then there was a WHOLE LOT of denial about the detrimental effects of smoking. I think this was mostly the tobacco industry's propaganda, but it worked. I remember talking with someone in the 90s that had some sort of cancer and had been a smoker most of his life. "No way to know if it was the cigarettes" that caused the cancer, he told me.

We are much, much more aware of the downsides of smoking now. The cat is out of the bag.

I hope they realize they need BIG FAT raises to return.

Reading this thread reminded me of my mother often ignoring what I said as a child. And one specific time when she said she didn't want to hear about a video game I was excited about.

Not huge injuries, there is certainly far worse that can happen. But it does shape who you are to be shut down like that. Shit parenting, as gen x is used to.

I hope I have never done that to anyone. Just listening without criticizing is not difficult.

I dropped Scamazon Slime a long time ago when I figured out they were not meeting their 2 day shipping promise. I really have never missed it.

Wow. You really have a chip on your shoulder, my friend. If that was a lecture then you are going to have a hard time in life. I would call that gentle advice.

Did I say the workplace is the only place you can go to meet people? Obviously I did not. You put words in my mouth, inappropriately. But in your original post you seem to say that you don't want any sort of personal relationship at work. My point is that that is bad for your work/career/life.

Work imposes some level of relationships on you. Right? My point is that interpersonal relationships at work matter to your work/career/life.

I think you could benefit greatly from some counseling. It might help you to recognize unhealthy vs. healthy thought patterns.

Best wishes, my friend.

Honestly, this is a lot better / more hopeful than other stories. These people are doing far better than the homeless in tents. In winter.

Like these poor people: https://www.startribune.com/minneapolis-nenookaasi-homeless-encampment-packs-up-and-moves-three-blocks-south/600332431/

Most attorneys LOVE to give you plenty of rope to hang yourself with. Looks like Lindell did that in spades.

If you ever feel your job is useless, remember, someone somewhere is installing turn signals in BMWs.

Sadly, the older I get the more I see just how badly people suck...including me. I really need to lower my standards.
