And yet, there are so many places that will terminate you after missing as little as 2 days/shifts unaccounted for.

Maybe it’s the churn strategy they use for their labor force.

One of these was the Tree Of Life synagogue shooting, with a similar death count to the Bondi Beach shooting, and perpetrated by an ethnonationalist/anti-immigration guy.

This could hardly be any more bad-faith.

I think it dates back to the 2020 primary campaign where she ran as a spoiler for the left. She rushed to be the first to declare candidacy, she tried to accuse Bernie Sanders* of defaming her and to cause a rift between her campaign and his, she stayed in the race when everyone else was dropping out, which was clearly a collusion to peel off voter share from Bernie while everyone else was endorsing Biden.

*Who then proceeded to not run in 2024, take a whole bunch of compromised positions especially on the first year of the Gaza extermination campaign, and do a few nothingburger “fighting oligarchy” rallies and tours that don’t even attempt to leverage any power.

There are plenty more examples of Warren being disingenuous and flimsy on progressive positions. On consumer protections and anti-monopoly stances she’s pretty good, but doesn’t amount to more than a machine politician outside of that.

If someone is going to be a successful progressive politician, they’d better take principled socialist stances, stick to them, and fight for them. Otherwise we just get an endless string of Obamas who defise radical movements, triangulate with the Republicans, and eventually their entire legacy is overturned by the next Republican administration.

This is how “ratchet politics” works.

It seems like the default UI text, before the script loads and overrides it into English, has changed from Chinese to Russian.

And if those fries all taste like moss
Everything’ll come with some dipping sauce

Others use Cope-a-lot, from the company founded by a man whose last name means “outside doorways”

The reason why they engage in this level of data collection is to be able to market it. The purpose of marketing it is to squeeze more money out of you, either from individualized pricing, or by convincing you to buy things you don’t need.

The average person is absolutely losing out, with everything they do. It’s a zero sum game; when they are harvesting your data they are harvesting you. Their financial gain is your financial loss, and the planet’s material loss as well.

I think this is a much better argument than “we can all put our small efforts together to make these large entities a little less menacing”.

Mountains and molehills are both heaps.

Unless the mountain is soilless, in which case the mountain is a grain and the molehill is a heap.

That would be a little less creepy if my middle name wasn’t John too.

And the story is that he stuck in his thumb, so to speak, and pulled a plum.

Scooters is already a coffee chain, their beverages make you leave skid marks.

Neutral oil. Very calorie-dense, you need it for lots of culinary purposes, and if you use it judiciously it can last a good while.

Salt probably won’t get expensive but it’s an important thing to have plenty of.

As has been said, storage and processing are going to be more of a financial hurdle than the food itself. I like to buy big glass jars (quart-size or bigger) to put stuff in.

If you haven’t already, buy seeds of things you want to grow. Find a balcony or south-facing porch to put pots or buckets on, or locate a nearby abandoned lot to grow things on. Veggies will have much more substantial price shocks.

Rice can be kept free of pets by baking it at 150

We might have cute weevilposting here but I don’t relish the time I had to deal with them. LFMF, the regular deli meat tubs are not insect-proof containers.

Once again, the early Internet opsec of “Assume that everyone on the internet wants to track you down, and don’t ever post your name, specific age, employer, or city in a publicly accessible online place” gives you an ample amount of protection.

I’m surprised they didn’t go with “Whiskey Bacon” for added islamophobic effect.

In the US you can purchase a house on a city lot for 3 years’ worth of a modest income, just not in a big city.

Look at what/how the party has been doing outside of presidential elections. They’re hanging on just fine by entrenching minority rule.

They’ve figured out that mask-off fascism brings them plenty of votes, so they’ll pivot to that as a permanent strategy. Meanwhile they control 27 governorships and 28 state legislatures.

There are several preliminary steps involved here that require other people, you don’t just hit the Riot button or the Labor Dealienation button.

Right but I would be really surprised if the war in Ukraine hadn’t concluded by the end of this second Trump administration.
