I can’t speak for all jobs, but shadowing is an effective tool and I’d be shocked if it isn’t pretty commonly applied. Not always in an apprenticeship sort of way to learn from scratch, but certainly to better understand the nuances of a role.

100%. There’s not even anything that great about them. There’s no world in which a person is forced to own a Tesla.

I have a question. Who cares what average people think about the potential future outcome of the election??? Poll my cats for all I care. This is useless information that casts ignorant poll participants as electoral strategists.

Why is it okay to hype products made by actual, literal Nazis? What the fuck is wrong with us?

“Can’t trust anyone these days” makes it sound like Meta isn’t the absolute first entity you shouldn’t trust under any circumstances.

In case people care, the maker of Boox devices flagrantly violates GPL license terms, basically stealing and profiting from open source code.

Edit: thread with details

Love my Supernote. One of the objects in my life that as soon as it breaks, I’m immediately buying a new one (or in the case of the newest model, replacement parts).

Monopolies are bad for the consumer but I’m stunned at how few people have mentioned that a huge media conglomerate with news (CNN) and movie studios all being owned by fascist bootlickers is goddamn terrifying.

My dog does the stare when her belly is being rubbed, but she will writhe and paw at you obsessively to get your hand down to her belly in the first place regardless of whether rubbing her tummy for fifteen minutes straight was part of your daily plan or not.

It’s the Democratic challenger being sued for defamation in this case, not the fucked-over mom. Hopefully the truth still holds up in favor of the defendant here.

If you sit at a table with nine Nazis, That table now has ten Nazis seated at it.

Yeah but we really didn’t need a new word for “makes bad”.

Arrest the motherfucker already

They also refused to back out of Russia when they invaded Ukraine and everyone else was closing up business there. They went on my shit list way back then.

I’m sure lots of those businesses probably just did it temporarily and went back for that sweet imperial cash, but the brazenness of Uniqlo giving zero fucks seemed like a bad sign.

They are indeed a propaganda machine, but they do operate independently. They’re cunning enough to know that arbitrarily banning outlets from the press pool is just too damaging to the press as a whole for them to support. They have to maintain some semblance of real news content and “integrity” in order to be able to run their “entertainment” propaganda that masquerades as news.

Spies on you

And I’m not saying you’re technically wrong, but you’re “all lives matter”ing it. It’s not the topic here so you bringing it up implies that you really want it to be heard regardless of the topic at hand and it makes you sound like a racist prick.

Read the room.

Me boycotting Rockstar and GTA VI because they’re yet another fucking monstrous sociopath corporation
