  Because there’s another esteemed character actress named Margo, we have to avoid confusion

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨amazon anti union posters put up by the company⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah my American brain has trouble comprehending a system where cronyism isn’t possible. Here most unions have an associated PAC and are very active with political donations and lobbying

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨amazon anti union posters put up by the company⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Might be a difference in the role the union has fallen into. The unions I’m talking about have been given way too much power through cronyism over the years, and at this point act more like a trade association/cartel acting for the businesses against other businesses, not for the workers against management

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨amazon anti union posters put up by the company⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It depends on the industry and honestly I’d be surprised if some unions in your country are not similar or worse. I’m in Chicago, which is one of the country’s biggest union strongholds, and construction unions here are often shitty and corrupt. Unions will bully and fight dirty against competing companies, sometimes even getting in spats between local chapters

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨amazon anti union posters put up by the company⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I think what they’re trying to say is that being in a union, by itself doesn’t guarantee higher wages or better benefits. Which is true, but incredibly misleading since you sure as hell aren’t getting those wage/benefit increases without union membership.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This is the way⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I like my C4’s for pre-workout, but they’ve got some kind of artificial sweetener I’m assuming

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Timmy, this is wrong⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Because crack and sugar are interchangeable, and sugar addiction/comedowns are definitely as bad as with cocaine

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The unemployment cycle⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe it varies state to state but I don’t know of any that offer real 4 year degrees, and I went to a community college

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Military leaders back Biden decision to keep Space Command in Colorado⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Most rocky planets are pretty desert like, they were just planning ahead. I guess that raises the question of if Space Force, or the Army, or Marines (dare I say Space Marines?) would handle land warfare on other planets

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Drug mimics exercise in mice, raises metabolism, increases endurance, burns fat⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  If you’ve ever done cocaine it absolutely wrecks your cardio/endurance in the long term

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is lemmy.ml turn into authoritarian?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  A meme I just saw mentioned Tiananmen Square on lemmy.ml, the comments were an absolute dumpster fire

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Countries Eye Weight Tax To Counter Public Safety Threat Of Extremely Heavy, Large EVs⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  And a Freightliner Cascadia is significantly heavier than the EV Hummer if we’re comparing consumer SUVs to utility vehicles

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨After 6 hours⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  “If we allow your connection, it works”

  Oh, surprising

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What we know about a mysterious launch from Florida this week — The Pentagon is mum about this test launch from Cape Canaveral⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s because those aren’t true hypersonics, which would require some maneuverability at those speeds. If it follows a straight trajectory it’s not too hard to intercept

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are smart door locks more or less secure than traditional door locks?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I think I can come up with some guesses on their line of work

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘Modern cars are a privacy nightmare,’ the worst Mozilla’s seen⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Imagine getting lost in the middle of nowhere and your car refuses to start because it can’t get internet

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yes, a Pigeon is Faster for Data Transfer than Gigabit Fiber Internet⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  AWS offers a semi truck with a shipping container full of hard drives for large data transfers

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Scientologists Tell Feds They Don't Want Randos Repairing Their E-Meters⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  What do you mean? That machine measured stress very accurately and displayed it in standard stress units

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Most motorists want noise cameras installed to clamp down on loud cars⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m an American who stumbled here by accident but do you guys have many cars/bikes that are noisy out of the factory? The guys running Civics with a pineapple shooter look like assholes but I kind of get it if you’ve got a big V8 that just sounds like that

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gamerdog. Get yours today.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Some additives and preservatives form naturally during the brewing process

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘Sound of Freedom’ Filmmakers: “No Single Interest Group Owns the Issue of Trafficking”⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Adrenochrome is readily available for labs. People have tried taking it as a drug and the effects range from “nothing” to “sweating profusely with a severe headache”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a way for me to upload my rifd Keycard to my smartphone?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Certain systems have clone card detection these days so you might run into issues

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a way for me to upload my rifd Keycard to my smartphone?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  My company sells systems like this. It depends on the system manufacturer and reader type. Bluetooth/mobile credentials might be available. I’ve never seen a system use a phone as RFID, but they do operate on the same frequency

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you exerience back spasms pain so intense it makes you black out?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Wait blacking out back spasms aren’t a daily issue for everyone?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the difference between roasting and baking, since they are both referring to cooking something in an oven?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  But sometimes the lines a little blurred, like what is the difference for meats? Chicken gets called baked or roasted when it’s cooked pretty much the same in the oven, maybe baked for pieced vs roasted whole?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the worst US state to live in generally?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve also heard “Thank God for Mississippi” as a slogan for any of the underperformer states

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨People who back into parking spots: Why?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Here in the states you need to know how to press the pedals and you’re all set

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t see any reason to think there’s a deeper meaning. There’s a lot of overlap between aggressive truck or muscle car drivers and people who like plastering the flag everywhere. Some of them have enough sense to go somewhat subtle with a monochrome version.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cadillac reveals the 2025 Escalade IQ - Electric version of the Escalade⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe I’m the odd man out but my car is tiny and I’ve never gotten anywhere near enough groceries to run out of space

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cadillac reveals the 2025 Escalade IQ - Electric version of the Escalade⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s an Escalade, half the appeal is for idiots who want the largest possible vehicle
