I was just at a labor law conference recently and heard a presentation about all these challenges. While the lawyers representing workers in these cases were optimistic, and overturning the Wagner Act was unlikely, according to them, I’m still worried. Billionaires have limitless pockets for lawsuits against the NLRB.

In the end, if the NLRB ends up unconstitutional, there will be one good thing: we can start general strikes again and shut everything the fuck down.

Good point. I don’t want to date trans people, but I wouldn’t want to use an app that purposely excluded them. I’d rather occasionally have to go “oh sorry thanks for telling me” than restrict my dating pool to bigots.

Have you been on a dating app? The experience is extremely gender specific. Men spend their time sending out as many likes as are available, and women spend their time sorting through likes they get. This is the experience for either gender unless you’re at the very high or low end of the desireability spectrum.

June is a great time to go back. I always dream of being a snow bird and just living in Seattle when the weather is great (June through Sept), then going somewhere warm and deserty for the winter.

Having lived there, Houston to College Station to Waco is 100% ugly. Really all of East Texas. I admit the hill country is pretty decent.

I moved to Seattle, though. Most Texans don’t know what they’re missing.

You gonna rajneesh these poor bastards?

Seriously. They still don’t have a way to increase the font size on the default app last I checked. How is such a basic feature STILL lacking?

Probably very few. The bias for these companies is in false negatives, not false positives, since false positives create controversy when students appeal a ruling.

Badly. This burns my laziest students every semester. Chatgpt just adds nonsense citations.

I have a POS HP from nine years ago and the battery still lasts two hours. Just depends on the battery size I guess

The key thing is that it’s not our culture, it’s the material interests of the rich that elevate psychopaths to power. The culture follows.

I’d bet the majority of us are millennials, though.

In the US people working the tills are usually TOO nice and you don’t want to make smalltalk with them. Only in NYC have I encountered rude till people, and even there, most are pretty pleasant.

Twice a year when I’m on a plane and have to use my other headphones because they’re more noise cancelling. Other than that, never. I hate having a cord and getting it stuck on things and ripping my headphones out of my ears.

I don’t think the fuck off was directed at Sorkin, but the companies who had pulled advertising.

and admitted in step 3 that the function doesn’t exist.

🤣

As somebody who’s been a vegetarian for twenty years but still has 200 LDL at age 37, this would be really great to just have fixed. Dumb genes.

For what it’s worth that’s been my experience on Hinge.

All I care about with the start button is the search function. If this didn’t fuck with that, sure.

This is the financial app Mint, not mint mobile.
