What additional insurance does being non union offer? I've never had better insurance.

I've got a proper union gig for the first time. I love it! Good benefits, decent pay. But the best part is having a union rep in your corner. I recently had a disagreement with management, took it to my rep, and viola! A reasonable result was achieved with a minimum of fuss. Was like a breath of fresh air. Everyone should unionize!!!!

I just went to Fox News, just to see what garbage is being inhaled whole by my countrymen.

Not a word about Johnson shutting the house down early to try to dodge the Epstein stuff.

Some clickbait shit about Biden and Ambien. (a powerful sleep med for those that don't know)

Not a word about Epstein.

Not a word about inflation. There's an article that extolles the BBB. Bunch of white dudes working on a pick-up in the thumbnail.

As far as being a national embarrassment goes, she really gives out Cheeto in chief a run for his money.

In a way we're all just bits of organic matter mid-flush, waiting for the Drainpipe of Destiny

Tell them they're all fake people for a free extension to your stay!

You got a remember, back then smoking inside was a normal thing to do. There is a color pallet that nicotine stains just sink into without notice. This picture is a prime example of said color pallet.

That's a sexy ride!

 
 

Ripped from PaulDrye@lemmings.world no idea who the original artist was. They are talented AF though!

 

Keeping with the theme of early aughts hip-hop I'm seeing here

 

10 of the last 10 years were the hottest on record. It's time. I know so many people that will give lip service to the environment and then think nothing of taking multiple flights per year on the flimsiest of pretexts.

And as all too often happens, people go to poorer countries where they get waited on hand and foot, and then act like they're doing some giant favor to the locals. All too often these tourist sights end up being an unmitigated natural disaster, not to mention locking the locals out of their own back yard.

And then they'll turn around and claim they're "helping the local economy" trying to justify it. It's colonialism by another name. If they paid fair wages to the workers these vacations would become much more expensive, perhaps prohibitively so.

And wtf is wrong with you, you can't relax in your own region? Gonna cook the planet because you can't be happy and relax in your own hemisphere. Y'all need to chill it with the air travel!

 

The wiki says it was transferred to Europe via the middle east. It seems obvious the Arabic numerals we use today are so much easier to work with than Roman numerals.

Was there a noticeable uptick in trade simply because bookkeeping became so much easier? Was there a noticeable uptick in the complexity and pervasiveness of monied, as opposed to in kind, daily trade in all levels of society?

It seems like the humble zero hit the scene and next thing you know the Renaissance is getting under way.

 

I left this pic in a comment on another post, but she's so cute I figured it deserved its own post.

 

It starts getting warm and she wants in and out dozens of times a day.

 
 

She had to get shaved after a tree sap incident.

 

Her fur was getting too clumped up. Think she got into some tree sap or something.
