You know, of all the things of this post, it’s the Roku remote that really confuses me. Was he holding it when he answered the door? Was it in his pocket and he took it out when was looking for phone to make the Tweet?

I knew I made it when I could afford UHU instead of having to use Clag

Doesn’t count unless it’s on a Volkswagon, otherwise they’re just pretending

Even better, several government departments ripped this off as part of a recruitment drives

I wish the guy who did Searching and Missing did a movie like this.

For the longest time the slogon was “It’s hard to have a Gaytime on your own.” https://youtu.be/YshX_hzAXow

I heard “I think it’s a microcosm of a more serious thing” in Ron Howard’s voice

Always room for hagelslag

If this would have surprised no one they wouldn’t have done it and just ate the cost of office spaec. No, there’s people out there who still think company loyalty is a thing and that fostering a “company culture” is actually viable.

Not a bug, a feature. Bubbles are not healthy, if you can see the horrible, the horrible can see you. You are reminded that there’s dangerous viewpoints out there, they are reminded that they will have to debate and argue logically to be tolerated. That is one of the few ways to cure a toxic point of view. Doesn’t work everytime obviously, but if you get one person to hesitate before posting some sort of BS comment we’re 90% of the way there.

I’m talking from a Netherlands server, you from Canada. I’m sure lots of differences of opinion but I know you’re a person with experiences different from mine and therefore I need to be respectful when discussing things I don’t know anything about.

I feel like their marketing needs a rewrite, everyone vaguely knew the LHC was to identify the Higgs Boson, what’s this one for, gravitons?

Just look at how tame his clocks have become, hell be just on a pocket watch soon

That time that America tried corruption in public

She says at the end “Let’s go make that cake.” After all that bullshit with the penguin and sand and water she now expects Mario to give a shit about using a KitchenAid and piping fondant. Don’t care if it’s bombass pussy she can go get fucked.

Oh God do I even want to know what they’ve trained for their AI image generator? Will it ironically be the only one that can show mixed race couples?

I don’t know why anyone fantasies about polyamory it takes my partner and I long enough to choose something to watch

I love the “view source” commentary and the fact that you can grab the ogg oir mp3’s there.

What happens if Joe doesn’t show up for work?

You are right in saying you have two option, pay Joe based on work output (i.e. decrease his pay for the 4 widgets he now produces or take less profit.).

But there’s more to you then just Joe and the widgets. There’s the market buying the widgets, now everyone is working four days, has the demand for widgets changed? If this is a market where the demand is increased, you need more widgets, you can sell them at a higher price and hire more workers to increase output. If the market has now shrunk, Joe’s reduced output is fine.

It took a lot of effort to reduce the work week down from around 80 where it was at the beginning of the century and from the purely economic perspective of “we will have less output and the country will fail” it didn’t. Businesses did and guess what, it’s likely because they weren’t viable to begin with. Most workers on minimum wage currently can’t survive an unexpected expense, the current system isn’t paying enough to begin with. I’d argue lots of business right now should fail, because they aren’t being run for those actually making the widgets. Joe is burning his labour for cash and the output is widgets. In this scenario, what are you doing to earn the $20? Supplying Joe the chance to make widgets? Is that worth $20 from Joe’s labour?

Joe now has 72 hours off to rest and use his time more wisely. Joe uses this time to further his education follow a career in a different field other than making widgets. This may not make him more productive but he is happier. Eventually he will leave with his further education and move onto something more fulfilling, or just using the extra day to spend more time with his kids or doing whatever recreation he really loves. He will work on having a fulfilling life. You will move production to Bangladesh and bunch of people you are paying $5 a hour will die in a widget factory fire.
