like throwing around some ancient language and random symbols should make the people afraid or something
In my experience, it still does for conservatives and many born before the mid seventies. None of them can tell you why or even what any of the terms or symbols mean, but they've been told all their lives those things are bad and have never stopped to wonder why.
Way back, when I was still on .worId and PJ was newer, I once diffused an argument they wanted to start with me, simply by holding my ground and nicely picking apart their (admittedly bad) arguments. They seemed more interested in winning than what was actually correct and they admitted to having a temper that led to that behavior.
I thought they were an alright person, maybe just immature, until I discovered they had been forcefully arguing the opposite point with another person at the same time. That's when I blocked them.
I thought baby pygmy hippo.
I just can't stand the "adult woman talking/singing in a breathy small child's voice" style that's so popular in Japan, and Hatsune Miku is that squared.
Edit: here's a related article for anyone curious about why that phenomenon may exist. In a nutshell: gender inequality.
Plus £295 for utilities. How the fuck does that shack cost £295 a month to operate? Fuck that.
Ugh, I knew it'd be Jordanlund before I saw the instance. I like them as a fellow forum user, but they should NOT be moderating anything. They remove comments they disagree with and use the moderation reason as a "you're wrong and my opinion is the final word now" field. Absolutely bullshit.
Do you think the mainstream media is truly surprised at people's reactions or is it simply acting surprised to behave in line with a dog and pony show about how the UHC CEO was the real working class hero and The Adjuster was evil and/or a lunatic that we should all despise?
Hi, I'm disabled although I'm still working (at the moment, may break further). I agree with you.
The biggest issue to consider for any company hiring a significantly disabled person, whether mentally, physically, or both, is they'll be less productive and may require much more oversight, meaning they contribute less to the company. This is the justification behind the lower pay. It makes sense if you're a shit sack capitalist that values production above anything else.
With that being said, Goodwill is absolutely taking advantage of the disabled. They're ostensibly a non-profit charity that exists to provide employment, leading to training and work experience, to the disabled community. They pay their disabled employees the lowest amount possible, actively working to justify low pay. Imagine if your employer was constantly looking to drop your salary so you had to constantly fight them over it. Now pretend you have a significant TBI or are developmentally disabled (just imagine your mental capacity while drunk, but without the feeling good) and still having to fight that. Welcome working for Goodwill.
Fuck Goodwill right in their "charity" hole.
After reading that, I think calling O'Leary a garbage human is an insult to garbage everywhere.
Production is pretty easy to understaff. It's not like an operator stands at the tool the entire time - much of the job is moving wafer cassettes from one tool to another and basically hitting "go", then the tool runs its process in its own. Other tasks involve restocking depleted chemicals and retrieving reticles, but the main thrust of the production job type is moving things from one place to another so the tools can do their job.
Given it's a 12.5 hour shift in a bunny suit that involves a lot of standing and walking, it's important that employees have a certain amount of downtime during their shift, just a few minutes here and there outside of breaks and lunches where they can relax. If you run too lean, staff has to constantly scurry from tool to tool and they'll quickly burn out. This is the TSMC way.
There's also a lot more to a fab than its production staff. Engineers, facilities, waste water treatment, chemical handling, IT, EHS, and various administrative roles are all very easy to understaff since many positions are salaried and TSMC loves that unpaid overtime. The results roll downhill to production staff not getting the support they need, further compounding the pressure they feel.
I saw your comment and my thought process went: "What?! Good fascist? The only good fascist is...is...oh. Ohhhhhh!"
Agreed, the Obama administration was rotten, but boy, was he charismatic. My dislike of him has been one point of contention between my standard-issue US liberal neighbor while helping bridge the gap with my recovering MAGA other neighbor.
