Muslim is not a race. It’s a backwards ass religion that has been taken hostage by extremists for about 70 years. And while there are small-minded folk who just use Muslim to mean “middle eastern brown people”, many just don’t want their communities taken over by religious nuts who time and time again have shown they have no interest in integration, and instead just want to force their beliefs on everyone around them.
Dude, look around. Most of us are way, WAY past the “We’re all in this together! We can do it if we try!” method of living and have been operating in survival mode for the past 5 years. And can you blame them? The flood waters are rising and people are wanting to make sure they have a life raft. If that means working for evil people/companies, then so be it. It’s not like working somewhere else will stop or slow the flood. Morals are nice, but they won’t keep you afloat.
Just in Time shipping and manufacturing only serves one purpose, making quarterly reports look good. Managers and equity firms LOVE JiT because keeping inventory on hand doesn’t balance well on their spreadsheets. They can not quantify inventory getting used over the course of a few years because they can’t see past the next quarter. To them, it’s lost profit; even if it doesn’t lose its value and is all but guaranteed to get used/sold eventually.
You would think more companies would have learned the merits of Just in Case manufacturing. Those that did absolutely thrived under COVID as they were the only ones still able to produce.
But no. The COVID crisis “ended” and companies went “Well something like that will certainly never happen again! Back to the old ways!”
Brave had a novel solution, but I think it’s mostly dead now.
Her main protagonist is a rich jock who grows up to be a cop. What did you expect?
Eh… They do actually work for most people, unless they have been trained or take drugs to beat them. There is also a small portion of the population that will just throw false positives all over the place due to anxiety. Those are the reasons it’s not admissible in court. People take “not admissible in court” to mean polygraphs don’t work at all and are a pseudoscience, but really they work for like 95% of people.
Gmail on mobile is pretty horrendous as well.
Me: “Hey Google, can you pull up the emails with links to the concert tickets I purchased a few months back?”
Google: “Here is every correspondence you’ve had with the ticket seller smashed into a single email with only the latest one visible”
“But I purchased two tickets separately that came in different emails, how do I just get to those?”
“🤷♂️”
Here’s my take on it:
On days when I’m working at 100%, I’ll admit, I do better in the office than I do at home.
However, I don’t always work at 100%, and I have MORE 100% days at home than I do at work.
In an average week, I will get more accomplished working from home than I will at work, simply because I am more motivated and energized while at home.
I get the feeling you’re not from the US. In the vast majority of US cities, bike infrastructure is either non-existent, or so limited/unprotected that it’s still dangerous to use.
Let me try to give a good comparison. Telling people to switch to biking in US cities is like telling someone to switch to biking on the Autobahn. It’s impractical, it’s dangerous, and often it’s even illegal. You might think that’s hyperbole, but I promise it’s not. For many major cities, 40 MPH (65 KPH) is considered a low speed, found on side-streets and other non-major roads; in neighborhoods, where kids play, it drops down to 30 MPH. On highways, you’re looking at 50 MPH minimum, sometimes up to 75 MPH, and these are inner-city highways.
Americans don’t choose not to bike out of laziness, but because, in most places, biking as a form of transportation will get you killed.
Why is there any sort of limit at the US Virgin Islands? It’s a US territory, you don’t even go through customs.
Do you have to declare your car if you drive across the border?
Don’t forget rock candy on sticks, although most museums still have those.
I would like to remind everyone, as people seem to keep forgetting, Tesla means nothing to Elon. It could go to zero and it wouldn’t affect him.
Twitter, or X, means nothing to Elon. It could collapse and shut down and it wouldn’t affect him.
SpaceX is his baby. Nothing even comes close. Starlink alone guarantees he will always be one of the richest men in the world.
Guns of Icarus, my beloved.
Also, Global Agenda.
I love how you so confidently made your original statement despite not knowing even the bare fucking basics of how the site worked.
That’s probably the case. It’s been a while since I’ve been in a chem lab, and even then the tables and equipment weren’t exactly “new” lol
Still used in a lot of fireproof applications. Lab tables you see in chemistry and biology classrooms are a good example, most of those are made out of asbestos. Really, as long as it’s well bonded and handled appropriately, it’s perfectly safe. It’s just costly to do so, and greedy companies don’t care if their lax standards cause cancer 20 years later, so it really can’t be trusted in the hands of private businesses.
Good luck playing Black Flag unless you pirate it. Ubisoft fucking broke it with their shitty app. If will still work if you’ve previously installed and launched it, but if you’re a first time player, the launcher will prompt you to log in to you Ubisoft account, and then just never run.
Yes, this applies to all extremist religions.
