Glass doesn't flow, that's a myth from the fact that when people installed drawn glass they favoured putting the thicker side down so that it was more stable.

When I was looking for coding jobs with a decent portfolio, but no computer science degree I got 1 interview out of 300 applications. They absolutely will not look at you if you don't have the CS degree, or already know someone at the company who can force you in.

I think the average actor in Hollywood makes like $25 an hour.

It's also very inconsistent work since you are not always acting in a show or movie, and it can be very tough to book new roles.

There are certain things I can't get anywhere near me from anyone other than Amazon, and I live in a city of 6 million people. Sadly I need to use Amazon about once a month. Getting groceries from them is ridiculous though.

The person above was being sarcastic, because of course progressives are not trying to conserve the existing system.

Yes, all workers should get stocks in the companies they work for.

This would make a great skit for Mitchell and Webb.

between 15 and 25% of Americans are facing food insecurity. 25% of Americans are facing bankruptcy due to medical debt. 10% of Americans have no medical insurance. 63% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck.

That is not doing well, that is very fucking bad. And no, free markets do not require billionaires. We can get rid of all billionaires and distribute the money to the workers who actually generated that value, and still have healthy and relatively free markets.

That's basically what it says, just worded differently.

I like that it's information dense. Posts don't take up a lot of space, comment chains are easier to track with the boxes, it's more obvious which posts will expand in window and which will go to a new link. I don't care if it's pretty, I find it far more functional.

Compression ruins good photos.

I have a smaller keyboard that doesn't have dedicated arrow keys, or any of the home, page up, etc. They're all on the numpad, so numlock for me is very useful.
