there’s anti union as in “we think they’re a nuisance but we are tolerating them” and anti union as in “we are going to do everything in our power, legally and otherwise to make sure a union does not form or actively work to break the union that is in existence now”, companies like amazon and walmart and starbucks. if costco is anti union they are definitely not the second from what I’ve seen.

costco being anti union is news to me. especially since they are very loudly not dropping their dei program.

the smart ones are. the cultists are wrapping themselves in nationalism patriotism. the rest are just terminally unaware and don’t vote.

it’s not government tyranny unless a democrat is president. duh,

when the executive branch ignores the judicial branch this is the inevitable outcome.

it no longer matters if the executive branch can just ignore the judiciary. the only question is what mechanism does the judiciary have to enforce it’s order since the federal marshals are all part of the executive branch?

we voted overwhelmingly for trump 3 times, with the exception of 2 counties. the commonwealth voted for this.

hit us harder. this is what the commonwealth obviously wants despite jefferson (louisville) and fayette (lexington) counties knowing better.

I’m trying some aldi frozen sushi.

it’s… okay.

and the cultists will say “SEE HE’S DOING SOMETHING HE SUPPORTS VACCINES!!!eleven!!!”, the media will praise the administration for this action, and the smart ones will point out that 2000 vaccine doses for a measles outbreak is a pathetically small number that might stem the tide a bit at best. this entire response has been an absolute clusterfuck and our spineless media won’t call it out for fear of retaliation.

remember back in elementary school and you thought $100 was a lot of money but when you got older you realized that $100 wasn’t a whole lot? I see the same thing here, except that those people who think that’s a lot of doses for this situation probably have a 7th or 8th grade understanding of, well, everything but they’re older than 50.

there needs to be at a minimum 500,000 doses for west texas.

and good luck getting those regs passed with this congress and this administration. it’s likely never going to happen unless the auto industry demands them.

are animated lights cool? debatable. in my opinion, kinda.

are animated lights practical? no. I actually think they’re more of a distraction. I need several use cases of where animated lights other than at car start up play an actual useful role in operating the vehicle.

car companies are going away from the practical and into the cool factor and I don’t think it’s a good thing. those huge car fins on caddys looked cool but provided absolutely no practical functionality (I even believe that studies showed it made them less safe. disclosure: I’m pulling this out of my rear end but I think it’s true).

oh I agree. the thing is elon has explicitly said that he doesn’t want a bunch of knobs in his cars and they should only have a central control screen to run everything. even the backup shift device is a touch sensor somewhere around the rear view iirc (never driven one nor do I want to). I essence, an entire continent is telling one company explicitly that your cars are not the safest on the road no matter what you claim. that’s going to be a massive hit on the company’s reputation and value and it couldn’t happen to a more deserving induhvidual.

sounds like europe is really sending a very loud, deafining FUCK YOU to elon and tesla.

and I am absolutely here for it.

if I still downloaded directly to my local drive, I’d use utorrent BUT only the 2.2.1 version. it’s been at least 4 years since I’ve done that due to a lack of having a functional laptop so I’ve been out of downloading stuff that way for years, but even then I knew that modern utorrent was bad. I actually stopped using any new version once bittorrent bought it.

1. iphones are the first recognized “smartphone”.
2. apple is an american company.
3. apple has a massive fanbase that is completely dedicated to apple and all their products.

i’m not sure what the global usage of apple products is, but i think here it’s probably a lot higher than in other places. throw in the fact that there’s only one device capable of (legally) running apple’s mobile software, and there you have it.

also, their advertising didn’t hurt either. no one on the android side had the kind of advertising they did until maybe 6 or 7 years later and by that time you were probably already well established in the iphone ecosystem.

I believe this person said (and I’m not sure if I’m correct because this person was absolutely inconsolable) that one was their father’s daughter and their (the daughter’s) son. I will probably know more through the grapevine next week.

I work with someone who was related to two of the victims. they were absolutely inconsolable yesterday when the news got out.

especially if you don’t have an iphone. I have seen so many accessories and apps that were made for use on iphones which would also be useful for android devices as well. my transplant clinic has a patient portal that has an app for iphones but nothing for android so you have to use their website.

in other words, it’s a stimulus check, a thing that he can put his name on to prevent (and completely fail in doing so) the economic recession that would be caused by his stupid policies making the price of everything go up.

if I remember my geography correctly cullman county is north of jefferson county (birmingham) on I 65. I’ve got family from birmingham, so to me it’s simply amazing that a rural white county decided to indict their white police force and recommend to completely disband it because of the corruption.

if a bunch of white people can do that with no black people involved in any way on either side, that police force must have been doing some seriously heinous shit.
