Pay and Production are no longer related for most workers - So Production can be cut, without lowering pay for most workers.

    Just want to note that the 80s was when the Boomers started taking over/inheriting companies and leadership positions from the generation before them. The Greatest Generation passed the torch to the Worst Generation and things have gotten worse ever since.

    Expressing the vague potential to confront a far-right Israeli government isn't going to lose her any Democratic votes

    No, but it would cost her millions in donations and support from Zionist lobbies. It would also push those same lobbies to more heavily donate and support the GOP. Not to mention the millions that would be at stake from weapons manufacturing lobbies who would see any wavering on Israel support as potential to lose one of their biggest buyer. All that lost money would lead to a loss in votes.

    The world is complicated and a tangled mess.

    Funnily enough, a few months back someone at Hi-Rez quietly spun up a Global Agenda server. You can actually go play it with your old account if you remember the login, but there's usually only like 10 people on at a time lol.

    There's money and opportunity to selling out your own people to be the token figurehead for a hateful organization. Look at Clearance Thomas. He's had a long, easy, comfortable life. Even with the recent focus on him, I find it hard to believe he or his wife give a shit when they can just go hang out on their billionaire buddies' yachts.

    I stumbled across a subreddit at one point that I forgot the name of and could never find again. It was a bunch of people pushing memes to crazy right wingers on Facebook encouraging them to do things like not vote and make really poor decisions like tearing up their social security cards.

    I see you're not even trying to deny that Hezbollah has, indeed, been firing rockets indiscriminately into Israel nearly every day.

    But you're right, the situation IS exactly the same! You know, as long as you ignore those pesky things like facts.

    Name a single PSL or Green candidate that is running for an office besides the presidency. Oh what's that? You can't without looking it up? Gee, doesn't sound like you're at all in tune with local politics which is the only place a third party could grow from. It sounds like you just want to whine without offering any real solutions.

    I mean... I kind of get it. The personal item happened to be a fucking gun. One with moving parts that will fire bullets if the wrong part moves. Your phone will not fire bullets. Seems kind of prudent to stop the machine with spinning magnets and wildly fluctuating magnetic fields from operating near a rifle that may cause it to fire.

    I guaran-fucking-tee you that if they hadn't shut it off, and the machine caused the firing pin to trip resulting in a bullet being fired and hitting someone, people would be saying "what stupid cops let the gun just sit there when they could have hit the emergency stop switch!"

    However, the main issue is the rifle never should have fucking been there in the first place!

    The texture of frozen grapes makes me cringe. It's not "like a slushie" it's like a slushie that's been put back in the freezer for a day and has all kinda clumped together in a mass that you now have to chew.

    I've only found them in farmers markets in the Midwest. They are DELICIOUS! The article is right, they taste kind like a combination of mango and banana. They have some large seeds you have to eat around, and the skin isn't super tasty, but the inside is great!

    Pro-tip, the ones that look old and brown are the ones that are ripe and ready to eat, the ones that look yellow-green need another day or two to fully ripen.

    Time LINE. You're talking about going so far back that humanity wouldn't exist. And if you go that far back and try to jumpstart evolution to have humans exist sooner; disregarding how that completely ignores how evolution works, any society that would arise would be indecipherable compared to our own. The resulting "humans" could be hairless and have purple skin. Think of the hot-dog fingers timeline from 'Everything, Everywhere, All At Once" except the world they live in wouldn't look anything close to ours. They would instead communicate entirely by slapping and live in long tunnels made of beeswax or some shit like that. There are too many branching paths and variables to get anything even close to recognizable.

    For the purposes of the main question OP asked, it's pointless to go back that far. We're no longer talking about "how might modern society be different if we had made different choices, and what choices have we made that turned out to be good?" but instead saying "what if humanity never evolved and something else did instead?"

    A better example, let's look at the Grand Canyon. Carved by the Colorado River over millions of years. But let's say you went back far enough to deviate the river's path so that it never ran through modern day Arizona. At that point, it's pointless to ask how the Grand Canyon might look different because there wouldn't BE a Grand Canyon!

  • I'm aiming to get the 30k steps in a day achievement and was wondering if the app considered a day as in a calendar day, or if it's 30k steps in 24 hours? 30k steps comes out to about 15 miles. If the app goes off 24 hours, I was considering taking a backpacking trip some weekend and hiking half in an afternoon, stopping for the night, and doing the rest in the morning. But if it goes by calendar, I'd have to adjust my plans.

    I'm moving across the country in a few weeks and am trying to plan my route as I'll be driving a moving van with a car towed behind it. The entire drive will be 16-17 hours. Google maps seems limited for searching everything I'd want to take into account for the route (pull through gas stations, height requirements, avoiding mountain highways, etc.) and was wondering if anyone knew of a better way to plan out the trip?
