Israel is obviously behind the attacks but has not taken responsibility for them yet. So no, they’re not admitting anything.

It’s both.

Yeah, but some people need to take polygraphs and swear they don’t do little things like pirate media or smoke pot. I’m not even kidding. The stupidest little thing will be made a big deal of. It’s easier to mostly follow the rules. Mostly.

You know, your comment was very helpful.

I know that all of these megacorps sponsor all sorts of philanthropic causes for PR and tax purposes. But I also know how evil Nestle is and I don’t find it difficult to not buy their products. …until I just looked up who’s paying for my meds.

But thank you, you are right. I’m using up their money and giving them nothing back.

More cognitive impairments equals more human, right?

I kind of hate dad jokes, but you got me there.

The really special part is that Jassy is saying that he wants it to go back to like it was “pre-pandemic”. Well, as a techie in Seattle, I can assure you that his new policy is much stricter than it was pre-pandemic. Being able to work from home was pretty lax back in the day, and they weren’t tracking your badge-ins.

Very disingenuous. It’s all about the shareholders, real estate investment, and pressure from city and business interests to get wallets back downtown at lunch time.

I’ve got a set of microscopes I could lend you.

I’m not sure how many of the youngins remember that use of the word ‘radical’.

Her family should sue the state of Georgia.

Oh no, I just looked it up and learned that I get my multi-thousand dollar per month medication for free thanks to a program sponsored by Nestle. I feel dirty. But I also need my medication.

Not for some of us.

Not until he’s gotten through all of the peasants who live in the countryside.

I think I tasted a bit of bile in the back of my throat when I read your comment.

Well, it’s only a very, very recent problem in Japan. They had stagnation for decades. Little to no change in wages, little to no change in prices. In 2011, I was making something like 33,000 USD per year there and living very comfortably with ample savings and what the Japanese considered to be a large apartment. It’s a pretty affordable country, aside from travel. Or if you want to live in a fancy place in a desirable big city neighborhood.

(And yes, I have been to Japan since then and know that things have changed somewhat. It’s still cheap compared to the US. Food is so cheap, it’s amazing what you can get.)

I wonder if they even have what we think of as HR in Russia.

I have read that statistically people tend not to. Don’t know the truth of it. He’ll still be suffering in the meantime.

Same. Which is a shame because I could enjoy a silly game where you play soccer in a car. But not the way people play it in real life. Those ultra competitive types have to ruin anything with the littlest bit of competitive dynamic.

I remember my friends getting me to play LoL when it came out (we were big WoW people who were all very comfortable and good at WoW-style PvP). Didn’t stay there long!

That’s for January 6th.
