There’s definitely plenty of cheese to go around, but it seems like it’s increasingly going to graft.

Defense/aerospace and tech are both laying off tons of employees and have an attrition rate close to double the average for the US workforce. There seems to be a big problem with losses of institutional knowledge which is feeding into a vicious cycle that necessitates further layoffs.

How are y’all growing and processing weed? I’d like to start cultivating some indoors at home (mostly for fun, I’m not that concerned about cost vs flower from the dispensary though I’m sure it would be much cheaper.)

Definitely can’t grow it outside, but I can’t even seem to get my potted dracaena enough light so I’m really curious about cost-effective indoor growing solutions.

Both groups are also trying to backstab each other and ladder climb so they get to keep their jobs in the resulting industry as they merge and shed redundant workers like civilian airliner safety or anyone writing code that doesn’t kill people or sell ads.

might be the highest concentration of shitty people per square inch in my continent.

Defense contractors and tech workers locked in a battle to the death over who can suck worse.

Mandating the ability to pre-emptively drone strike your own armory, thereby necessitating an armory to contain the drones to strike itself.

Sure yes, absolutely there are all sorts of bullies out there but there are also some gendered job roles out there too. These are three of the most common jobs for women who were bullies in school. The most common jobs for men who were bullies in school are law enforcement, military, and sales. Real estate is also extremely common but roughly equal in gender distribution.

PubMed is overflowing with psych studies on this subject. There’s an incredibly common phrase in medicine, “Nurses eat their young”. Misogyny comes in when you ascribe this to being an individual problem of bad eggs, rather than a systemic one of a job category which is toxic and has asymmetrical power dynamics.

All of these industries permit low accountability, give aggressive people unchecked decision-making authority, and provide easy access to and control over vulnerable populations.

No, I would not reference antisemitic tropes like that with this level of flippancy, I’m Jewish and I find that shit appalling.

Srulik is the above weird character you sometimes see on Israeli shit, the US equivalent was Miss Columbia but she’s largely been replaced by images of the Statue of Liberty.

It’s extremely American that the only modern representation of Miss Columbia is in the corporate logo for Columbia Pictures.

In North America, doctor’s office receptionists aren’t typically gatekeepers, they’re like an office receptionist.

Nurses and insurance claims adjusters end up filling that role, sometimes even retroactively in the US.

In Canada, the worst experience I’ve ever really seen with reception is in our equivalents of A&E, urgent care or the Emergency Department, is typically a response like, “sorry the wait time for walk in is 38 hours” (because they triage anyone who actually needs to be there to the front and you’re actually supposed to make an appointment with your GP if you’re not bleeding out basically)

Actually he did a blood sacrifice and transmogrified himself into Srulik, the poorly drawn political cartoon that is the anthropomorphized national representation of Israel.

Same scenario in the US and Canada, these people are fucking demons to an individual.

Along with nursing and HR, it’s the classic “high school mean girl” job pick. They’re paid to bully the disabled.

I know that flat white, flat black, and flat grey are the cheapest possible paint colours but something about the nardofication of cars just smacks of reaction to me.

“NO FUN ALLOWED! YOU CAN HAVE ANY COLOR AS LONG AS IT’S BLACK!”

It’s the supplier I use when I’m in the states and they’re extremely consistent. The ∆-9 gummies are 22mg each. A lot of the hemp bill suppliers are kind of sketch and you have to basically just find one whose testing is legit.

The fuck is wrong with French people?

You might have better luck with getting bulk gummies from highlyconcentr8ed

Text still consistently looks like shit regardless of model. This is an easy clue, I feel like people are just looking at thumbnails on their phone at arm’s length or have seen too many ai images and think this is how real cameras work.

You’re probably sensitive to fructans. Do cabbage, Brussels sprouts, or garlic mess you up too? Might be IBS.

The hell are you talking about? The cheapest stuff on the value menu at Taco Bell near me is over $5. It’s like $30 a person to eat there now and it’s fuckin’ dead.

The reason some Americans unironically complain about bad shits after eating Mexican food is because their bodies are accustomed to having zero dietary fiber intake. Eating some beans and lettuce is enough to upset their stomach. Pathetic.

As far as I can tell the primary lobbyists against legalization are still alcohol and tobacco manufacturers, and the random chud astroturf orgs they’re bankrolling.

No, I’m in agreement. I actually hate having to spend like $5 a day on weed because it’s the only identified substance that reduces my fibromyalgia pain and inflammation to a manageable level.
