Canadian here: wana be friends, mate?

That's a great deal - most people would agree to trade their phone for a single bullet

Let me clarify: the business didn't need the employee to be there, it needed the employee to be pliable.

Well, it was from Trump, so it was a pretty hateful quote, to be fair

There's a ton of scholarly and peer reviewed articles and studies on the "architecture of fascism" the "art of awe" etc, and how through history, grandiose and gilded decor and architecture has been used to manipulate, convince and enthrall the masses.

I don't know what you millenial z's or something keep complaining about - just buy a detached single family house with a backyard in the city for 125k and pay up your 1% interest rate mortgage within 10 years while your wife keeps it clean and drinks herself to death while resenting you daily, like any civilized 30 year old with a job for life and guaranteed payout pension does!

Is the /s really necessary?

"war is people that know each other but don't kill each other making people that don't know each other, kill each other"

I can't remember the author, but i love this old quote

What cracks me up is the piece of metal, labeled metal, attached to the one metric ton of... Metal

Ok, so psychopaths marry psychopaths. In other news: rain still wet.

Aah, yes BUUUUT, Aaron did it to help his fellow humans, whereas Yuckerberg is doing it to enrich billionaires, it's not comparable!

Not to mention that a property like this likely costs hundreds of thousands of dollars a year to maintain and pay tax on, if not milliona

I 10,000% guarantee this would not be enacted by a Trump presidency. Worst, if some for of it was put forward it would have specific conditions limiting which country of origin this would apply to (surprise surprise: white ones).

Please don't get lured by the broken clock phenomenon...

Everything reminds me of her

Well technically the worst (but absolutely legal) thing you can do, from their perspective is to be very well versed in your rights for the state or province you're in. Is it a dismissal without cause? Then what severance are they offering? Did your negotiate it? Basically they'll want you to sign something and promise not to sue - in exchange to signing this they'll offer something. Negotiate that... Usually in the form of X weeks of pay per years of service at your employer, but X can vary and be negotiated. You can also negotiate a referral letter from your boss even though companies usually say "we don't make referral letters" - as part of my package negotiation you will...

I hope it helps!!

.... Dude sorry to break it to you, but they work for ICE

Align the two apples so they're off center to one another. One has 2/3 on the outside to the left, 1/3 to the right, the other 2/3 to the outside to the right, 1/3 to the left.

Bird's eye view, the single line cutting both apples will leave us with the left 2/3 of the first apple and the right 2/3 of the second, and a third portions made of 2 thirds, or another 2/3 of an apple.

One cut, 2 apples, 3 equal portions.

If it didn't change anything, those in power wouldn't try to disenfranchise workers and working class people of their voting rights or make it harder for them to vote.

Ma'am, this is not Reddit where you complain about Facebook. This is Lemmy where you complain about Reddit.

Let's be clear on what that implies: it means all women travelling Interstate would have to prove at a state border that they're not pregnant. Which means proving with what?

Some form of proof you have an IUD or contraceptive? They're planning on banning that too.

Some kind of medical document, emitted less than x days ago by a doctor?

And since that would be insanely difficult to obtain, it essentially means women would be banned from interstate travel.

Welcome to Gilead, blessed be the fucking fruit.
