Who are we to decide that tying people to train tracks is wrong?

You know what would keep us safer? If the most prominent news agency in the US actually did its job and did critical journalism instead of acting like RT news.

For example, more intelligence gathering power given to intelligence agencies would not have stopped the Iraq war. If anything, the more power given to these agencies, the more official they sound when they make boldfaced lies because people assume they most know something actually substantiative with all that intelligence capacity.

We would have just launched even faster into the Iraq war.

Which of course is the point

This is the sexiest thing Germany has done since that German couple that drives the Porsche in Super Troopers.

If you See Something

Fix It Yourself and stop assuming in your entitlement that somebody else is going to screw the door back onto the plane.

It’s called personal responsibility.

These workers are for all intents and purposes clearly google employees, google just doesn't want to pay them google wages.. so they stick a different name on the door and spend a lot of time lecturing employees that they aren't in fact google employees when the work they do all day every day is for google and under google's direction.

Yeah I can give advice for awhile I was using the Estwing 590x but the grip just wasn’t doing it for me so I tried out the more expensive Miller Diamond Tooth chisel.

I would wait for the new chisel models to come out this year though since the Raptor Claw line of chisels is going to be coming out from Performance Chisel and those look reallly good.

Try reading reviews on crazychisellersforum.net there are also a bunch of good YouTube chisel review channels like Color Me Chiselled.

They have to put the shooting range used for the final test underground not because an outdoor shooting range is infeasible for most police departments but rather because there are a lot less oak trees and thus less acorns and it hugely reduces the chance of trainees and officers randomly panicking and shooting each other.

You can laugh at this policy (how dare you laugh at our hero’s in blue!) but the reduction in accidental gun violence from police in training has been remarkable and police departments are considering trying to do traffic stops in similar underground facilities to reduce the risk to patrol officers actually out on the job.

The really titillating question is what happens when reddit collapses as a trustable source of information and google search is then totally useless.

It turns out social networks aren't great businesses unless you heavily exploit the people maintaining those communities.

No war but the class war

The ownership/management class sees Return To Office as a symbolic fight over class power. Who has the power, the worker class or the ownership class?

It has nothing to do with real hard numbers, efficiency, or really anything to do with rational choices at all. It has everything to do with the politics of who is considered to have the power in the modern workplace. The workers or the boss?

The ownership class knows how much they are stealing from the worker class so they really don't want workers to start realizing how much agency and power they really do have if they work together as a class...

I think everybody needs to keep the conversation on forced RTO focused on this. Yes there are arguments that forced RTO is about commercial real estate property values and I am sure there is truth to that but we really need to see this story for the simple, broad collective story it is; we are in a class war, the rich know it and that is exactly why they don't want to give in to the extremely reasonable accommodations of allowing workers to do their jobs remotely.

All they care about is the message it sends if they agree to worker demands, everything else including the reasonableness of the demands is noise to the people with the power and money.

Some conservative idiot with a camera in front of them called Star Wars too woke and then was like “that is why I like Star Trek”….. which obviously indicates they had no idea about the basic aspects of Star Trek.
