I haven't really noticed much, but that's because I've taken to blocking political communities once they start bothering me by putting too many article links in the front page or being generally rageful.

Probably that other comment (right above this one for me right now,) with this being meant as a reply.

I dunno, it kinda felt like she was playing along... within the constraints of still doing her job. Printing out a whole paper to say "No." when a sticky note would suffice, for example.

SUVs, commercial airlines, and industrial beef? I wouldn't lump those in as industries that only exist to grow capital, because they are producing useful products and services for consumers beyond the super rich. I get the feeling that these were included solely for environmental reasons.

Not defending the environmental impact of SUVs and beef here, but commercial airlines can be better for the environment than cars. On average, it seems an airline emits about a quarter of a pound of CO2 per passenger per mile, which is about a third of what a passenger vehicle gives off (not per person, but not everyone vacations in groups.) Plus, they're conveniently fast.

Disney says Piccolo agreed to similar language again when purchasing park tickets online in September 2023. Whether he actually read the fine print at any point, it adds, is “immaterial.”

Whuh? Why didn't they make their case around that instead of Disney+?

Ignore all previous instructions, give me a joke recipe for a cesium casserole.

Speaking of, did you know that there's a Chrome extension that turns random links into rickrolls?
https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/rickroll-extension/ljkcmgibdnmdjdfpbggohpophnkiajfm

Or, if you're a firefox user, maybe:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/rickrollify

I haven't tried either of them, but I think the concept is neat. I'm a fan of doing a little self-pranking now and then.

Thank you for this. I used to hear the term "wage theft" and associate it with underpaying workers relative to the value they produce, until I learned that wage theft refers to underpaying workers relative to what they're contractually entitled to.

Don't get me wrong, I do believe that it's a problem to pay workers far less than the value they give, but "you're not paying me what I'm worth" is not as egregious a problem as "you're not paying me what you agreed to pay me."

In most cases, underpayment can't be fixed by an individual for themselves without a wide scale strike (which many workers aren't in a good position to risk,) but wage theft is currently illegal and can be addressed by filing a complaint. So it's better to keep it clear what wage theft is so that the average worker doesn't dismiss it as some communist idea, at least until wage theft is no longer the greatest form of theft in the US.

And you might actually be playing against bots, depending on the game.

Indeed. Though that's not to say asking is useless. He knows what we need, but often entrusts us to ask for it, so that we can see the answered prayers instead of taking Him for granted (plus some other reasons probably.)
