Maybe we can get back to workplaces training their employees for the job they want them to do rather than putting the entire cost of training on 18 year oldish high school graduates for a job market that might not even be great (or exist) once they graduate post-secondary.

Just slightly less than when they came up with a fan that doesn’t buffet you with air as though that’s not what you want from a fan.

edit: For the low low price of…C$500??!

Yes over half. If nearly half of respondents disapprove, than the other over half either support it or don’t care enough to oppose it, which is to say they aren’t concerned about it.

Once you get one you’ll hit three in no time. I bet you’re setting a new goal in a week or two.

We need to push back on the idea that you represent a brand or that brand has any authority over you when off the clock.

So over half of Americans aren’t concerned with accelerating authoritarianism? Great.

I’m getting the feeling that what the US is thiiiiis close to is civil conflict.

She says a Pattison Outdoors sales representative was initially supportive of the idea but later said the billboard was “too controversial and they wanted to stay neutral.”

Pattison Outdoor faced publi[c] pushback after running anti-abortion ads in Alberta and Nova Scotia in 2018, Victoria in 2019 and Manitoba in 2024.

Infuriating. And a reminder that donations to politicians isn’t the only way the wealthy can put their thumb on the scale wrt money in politics. One wonders whether billboard buys from certain political parties (but not others) would be, “Too controversial.”

‘House’ is a common shortening of ‘House of Commons’, the elected portion of Parliament. Parliament as a whole also includes the Senate. The distinction matters here because the tax cut has not passed through the Senate as of yet.

US history is a little more than unblemished, though. Hell, not even history. They are literally arming a genocidal state as we speak.

Just in general cast iron has this sense about it like people think it’s made of gossamer and not a chunk of literal iron. They aren’t that delicate. Even coarse scrubbies are fine if not applied too firmly.

Sweet and salty is a good and valid flavour combo.

The obesity rate is high and increasing because the environment humans exist in changed. We aren’t fundamentally different biologically than we were 100 years ago. Our food system very much is different from then.

Are we really going to have to start saying ‘genos-unaliving’ to get around content filters?

It’s not especially challenging if we simply refuse. 2% is fine.

Of course the idea is that 5% of our budget goes to American weapons. Just another shakedown attempt from the wannabe gangster president.

I wasn’t expecting an article from windowscentral.com to be that pro-SteamOS over Windows.

People understand the concept of, “no infinite growth on a finite planet,” but then refuse to accept that that holds true for us as well. The world population has more than doubled in my lifetime. Obviously we can’t do that forever. Especially in the context of a climate crisis that is making less land livable over time. For completely practical reasons we are going to have to set up some kind of system that can function in equilibrium rather than requiring growth.

I’m not a real fan.

Observing from outside, UK politics looks really grim.
