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 7 months 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 7 months 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 7 months 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 7 months 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.

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 7 months ago:
Because crack and sugar are interchangeable, and sugar addiction/comedowns are definitely as bad as with cocaine

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 7 months 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

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

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 8 months 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? 8 months ago:
I think I can come up with some guesses on their line of work

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 8 months 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

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? 9 months 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? 9 months 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? 9 months 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? 9 months 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?

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? 9 months ago:
Here in the states you need to know how to press the pedals and you’re all set
- Comment on [deleted] 9 months 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.

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

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