Everyone else in that supply chain gets a living wage, except maybe the chef who shares tips with the waiter. It fucking pisses me off when people bitch about the fact that they're asked to tip an underpaid employee instead of getting angry about the fact that the employee doesn't make as much money as anyone else in the first place.

Where the fuck is the restaurant owner who isn't paying their worker a fair wage? Where the fuck are the politicians who put a loophole in labor law the allow this situation to happen?

The waiter is even being villainized in the last frame, jesus h christ. Fuck this comic and fuck you OP for posting it uncritically. I fucking hate this anti-worker propaganda so fucking much.

No, you hit the nail on the head. A lot of Americans are fooled by this sort of anti-worker division propaganda. This is a conservative / right wing comic.

Right wing propaganda is still right wing propaganda when packaged in a "joke" or as "irony". You were correct to question it.

This post isn't specifically about me and that makes me mad. 😠

This is the Democratic party primary for the US congress election that will be held in November, in which all 435 congressional seats across the country will be up for election. We run elections for those seats every 2 years. Tomorrow's primary just determines which candidate the Democrats will run in the general, and only registered Democrats can participate in the primary as per New York Democratic Party rules.

The NYC mayoral race just happened to be last November (Most US elections happen in November), and that role is up for election every 4 years.

This is why I run librewolf. I don't know if I'd call it a real solution because it's maintained by a tiny team of volunteers who's job becomes more difficult with every antipattern mozilla builds into the source, but for now I find turning on features to make librewolf work on all my sites preferable to turning off features in firefox.

Yes, most of DNC leadership was quite happy that we were "finally" going to war with Iran and that it was a Republican in the oval office when we did. American citizens are generally quite anti-war and would like a divorce from Israel, but American state leadership does not reflect the values of average Americans.

Correct. It's not just Trump, it's an entire generations-long policy norm to suppress peace and sovereignty across the middle east that passively scapegoats and endangers jews all over the world as consequence, perhaps intentionally. Pretty sure that Israeli money still funds the majority of both Republican and Democrat campaigns in congress. We need a whole-house cleaning, Israeli lobby funds from any sources need to be popularly seen by voters as a hard disqualification. Jewish voices that oppose genocidal Israeli domination narratives need to be amplified and normalized.

It is, and most of it goes to Asia, but since oil demand is just barely met all over the world a supply shortage anywhere is felt everywhere through rippling demand. But I was just explaining why a closed-door domestic oil policy wouldn't work in the USA despite our net export. Under any foreseeable global demand regime.

Maybe take a hint and stop using that platform. It'll be a lot better for your health.

The majority of US refinery capacity is designed to process the heavy crude we import from elsewhere, the light crude we extract domestically is newer industry that doesn't have equivalent refinery capacity, that's why we export it and why we're a net exporter overall. Our extraction and refinery mismatch is why your plan wouldn't work. We would instead burn quickly through the < 4 months of national oil reserves we have left.

Oh wait, yea

Can the untrained dog choose not to grab the untended chicken breast off the counter?

He'd say it's very fecund, but caution against it's nascent ecofascist influences.

I get the sense of annoyance but you're wishing for a british corporation to set civil precedent in court against american first amendment rights.

"Unstable as hell", "breaks for no reasons", "seriously insecure", other distros "work perfectly". I find this kind of uninformed hyperbole tiring, but probably entirely descriptive of your own user journey. Arch is intended for technical users, not "average users" (Whatever that means), and people should not be recommending that their uninitiated friends start their Linux journey there unless they're prepared and capable of providing technical support. I used Fedora and Ubuntu for decades before moving to Arch a few years ago, and I've never loved an OS more than I love this one. But that's my journey.

I used to work remote in Brooklyn and occasionally have to report to the office in Baltimore. HR would always offer plane tickets and I would decline in favor of having them pay for cheaper business-class Acela tickets. It was better in every possible way: I could walk to and from the stations at both ends, didn't have the TSA porno-scanner hassle, had more personal space in transit, and ironically when the entire door to door trip was considered the train was actually 40 minutes faster. Regional trips are that sweet spot where even a slower train beats flying.

It's called the coast to coast redeye, not the layover in Denver redeye!

Quite the opposite, in fact.

Such potentiality, very liberatory.
