To be clear, when I said "it isn't" I meant it's not the default.

I dont really care enough to go dig up hard numbers.

But the time I'm talking about is after WW2, when the new deal was still going strong, and the top marginal tax rates for people and companies inhibited accumulation of wealth, and incentivized reinvesting profits into the company and workers instead of into exec bonuses and stock buybacks.

The era had lots of other issues, notably bigotry, and consumer protections, but worker protections were moving in the right direction.

Heath and safety have kept improving, but employment security has gotten worse because the incentives we had for companies to treat employees well have gone, and put employees at a disadvantageous position when bargaining with their employer

I have a withings scale and it's great so far.
Like you, I had a Fitbit one, and I find it sucked and was very unreliable.

It's worth noting that there is a withings home assistant integration

Exactly their point, it's not left vs right, it's the ruling class vs the laborers

I like the term homological/autological and it's opposite, heterological (words that describe themselves, and words that describe the opposite of themselves, respectively)

And portmanteau.

I've got an OG Hotmail address with my actual name and without any garbage characters.

I use it for so many things that I can't go change it now. But I've started to use aliases when signing up for online services

I am shocked by how many people don't know or don't remember the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya

Since I'm getting downvotes, let me clarify.

This is the first paragraph of a book, and is the first line of the first episode of the TV series based on the book.

Y'all arent the aforementioned "real ones" 😒
