Crazy shit.

I didn’t see it coming, but the entire department I worked at during my last job was laid off only two weeks after i started my new job. The cheeky buggers waited until people left for the Christmas weekend to call them and tell them.

Yet they act all baffled and suprised when people quit.

That’s why I mentioned it, it gets me sometimes lol

Were the currencies the same? In CAD it would read like something similar to $28,961.42.

I don’t understand people who do that, to be honest.

They have repeatedly lied to their own citizens about health and safety. There are multiple channels dedicated to talking about the superfund sites within the US. Most of the time, the people who lived in these horribly toxic areas were lied to by the government, and were told that they were safe. It has led to a large number of injuries, deaths, and deformities. The government regularly refused to acknowledge the harm until it was way to late to stop the people from being afflicted. I would never fully trust someone who allowed children to play in lead dust, and I especially wouldn’t trust someone who told them it was safe to do so.

I know my country’s government wouldn’t be much better to trust at face value, realistically. So, I don’t.

Historically, blindly trusting a government can turn out very badly. The people in office are human, so it only makes sense that some of them may be corrupt.

I didn’t take it literally lol. I was just stating my experience in response to someone else’s comment. If I see “1000” and “10” in the parent comment, I’m probably going to use “1000” and “10”. It would feel weird if I threw in random new numbers, I guess.

To me, all of this is more of a “you do you” thing. I’m sorry if I made it seem like I was angry or upset with you. I actually think that it’s cool that both are options, honestly. Freedom of choice, and all that.

I wouldn’t have the physical space for the amount of CDs that I would need

Also, what if you genuinely love a lot of music? We do exist.

I would feel drastically unfulfilled music-wise, if I only had around 10 songs to choose from. I listen to music way too often for that. I would absolutely start to get bored of the same songs after a bit. That’s only about one album’s worth.

For me personally, using a music subscription service just makes sense right now. I am very busy, so I don’t have time to pirate everything anymore. I’m not saying that I wouldn’t do it again if push came to shove, but I’m not at that point.

I like that I don’t have to worry about things being hidden in the files. I like that I don’t have to worry about suspicious websites. I like that almost everything that I want to listen to is right there, in the same place. I like that it comes with a music player. It might not be the absolute best sound quality out there, but I also don’t have to sort through a ton of apps to find an app that works.

Fuckin’ aholes are also still hitting new profit records. They can cry me a river.

Their company wouldn’t exist without the hard workers, as there would be nothing to sell.

In case someone relevant sees this, this might be a great way for Ford’s competitors to rope in skilled, experienced employees. I’m sure that many employees are thinking about other places after seeing this “call to end the strike”. I know I would be.

What an embarrassing thing to say to your staff. What an embarrassing thing to say publicly. These people must be more detached from reality than I thought.

Unless these things in the US seriously changes, I will never step foot there. I used to want to see all of the beautiful landscapes, animals, and buildings. I really did. Now, not so much.

If I have a medical emergency, I don’t want to be somewhere where they’ll delay necessary life saving treatment to first check if there might be a fetus.

Nope. Tbh, that also kind of sounds very similar to the things that they get angry at other countries for doing to women.

Those people, and also the people who are obsessed with having someone to look down on.

I’ve never understood that mindset, because it doesn’t actually make them better, it just means that they’re aholes.

I’d argue that anyone who was happy to make education worse for future generations was “fucking stupid”. They cut their nose off to spite their face, so to speak.

Why would someone want doctors, surgeons, scientists, and everyone in every other skilled profession to have less of an education? What part of that isn’t “fucking stupid”? Too many people don’t think about the long term consequences. What’s going to happen when the older generations retire?

I hope that you’re trying to stop education cuts, otherwise you’re a part of the problem that you’re talking about.

They don’t care about the company’s future beyond their own personal gains from it.

Tbh, I doubt that they would care in the slightest if the entire company closed the day after they left/retired. It seems like almost all CEOs have that target these days.

It’s tough to read tone over text, so just in case. Do you know the truth behind the lemmings? They don’t actually kill themselves in large groups.

I can’t tell if you didn’t know, if you just made a joke, or if you’re implying that someone caused these birds to die for the sake of film.

That’s almost 3 football fields!

I think that that bot might actually be preventing the AITA community from growing. Yeah, it’s easy enough to block the bot. I don’t disagree with that at all.

The majority of new users may look at the community and see nothing but bot posts. I don’t know about you, but if all I see on a community are bot posts, I tend to skip that community. I don’t always care to go digging through numerous posts to see if it’s worth it to block a bot. Doubly so, if there is so much bot posting that the normal posts are practically hidden. A new user may just assume that the community is intended for bots and just skip it altogether.

I don’t care about AITA anymore to be honest, but too many bot posts can definitely hinder the growth of a community. I think that would be true for many communities.

Imo, it’s a touch worse when the community is based on personal stories. No one will really benefit from voting/discussing. Instead, you’re reading posts that someone else intended for another group on another website. There isn’t really a lot of “community” that you can get with that. Short story readers group, I guess? The actual OP certainly won’t get any of the input.

You aren’t looking for a serious discussion. Have a good day.

Youtube won’t care unless/until it becomes too expensive to ignore

If nukes start to go flying, there will be no winner. The rest of the planet still exists, and many of them have nukes too.

It’s also not like every country would announce every strong secret weapon that they have, especially when wars are still happening.

Go stand by the Gaylord.
