Healthcare… 3, 12 hour shifts per week… shit… be a nurse in the Bay Area and you can be part of the 1% without working OT…

Oof… I feel that my friend… I try so hard not to exercise for the calories… but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. Stay strong! 🤘🏻

This is why I do CICO. Let’s me adjust what I eat based off what I’m feeling that day… and it’s nice because ultimately it’s about eating at a deficit over a week, in my case at least… since I’m targeting 1.5 lbs/week it’s just about being at a deficit overall… so if I have a rough day I can theoretically “make up for it” throughout the rest of the week.

Of course I still need to exercise control and not just eat whatever whenever… but I love the flexibility and it’s allowed me to stay on track for 50 lbs over 6 months…

I’m a big enough man to admit when I’m wrong. Well done fellow Lemming. Appreciate the respectful discourse. 🍻🤛

Fair nuff friendo.

And you’re right. Elimination of unions across the board would absolutely not lead to a positive outcome.

I’ve just become cynical and disillusioned with society and that leaks out sometimes… but you’re right, we should not let perfect be the enemy of good. 🍻

I mean… I’m not anti Union… have lived and worked in TX and CA… TX is as anti union as anywhere and it sucks because of it.

I’m anti corrupt unions, anti blind faith in “unions”, I’m anti overly simplistic internet bullshit rhetoric that sounds good in a vacuum but isn’t helpful in the world we live in…

But you do you Boo… nothing much our internet discourse here will accomplish other than both of us being annoyed and feeling morally superior to the other for no reason. 🍻

I agree… unregulated capitalism will always be corrupt. We’re seeing that now…

But again… you literally can’t place power in the hands of the people because someone (or a small cabal) will always rise to the top and assume control and we end up in the same spot under a different name…

Right… since people never step in to fill a power vacuum and no matter their intentions become corrupt… because absolute power corrupts absolutely… and once you get a taste historically people want more…

Seizing the means and fantasizing about a functional democratic version of communism in the workplace is absurd…

The real goal should be to regulate the wage gap. Because the top won’t voluntarily shrink the wage gaps laws need to be in place or bargained for that set a limit to the gap between the top and bottom… i.e. the CEO can only ever make 30% more per year than the lowest paid employee in their business. That way when the business is more successful everyone is brought up. There is recognition that various roles have more or less responsibility (and should be compensated as such) but everyone in the org benefits equally when the org does better…

Oh absolutely agree… my dog is crate trained because I know she’d go nuts in the backyard too if left alone…

Yeah… my neighbor has two rats (I mean small little ankle biting POS dogs) who bark anytime someone walks remotely near the backyard fence which is on a Main Street because he lives on a corner… or they sit by the front window which he leaves open and bark/whine all damn day while he’s gone…

I 100% sympathize with the neighbor complaining about the barking…

Wouldn’t he still get residuals from any work he’s done? She’d probably want a chunk of that too…

Yeah…… the timing seems suspect at best… seems like she stuck around to help maintain the best image during the trial but now that he’s busted she’s out.

He specifically did his shows without ANY writing whatsoever… he could have written his own show but he didn’t write anything down. He didn’t get scab writers… he literally went out on set, and bullshitted with his co host and spun a bottle cap and in essence showed how trash shows are without writers… he did his show to prove a point… and he accomplished that…

Just saw it today with my daughter… great great movie. Definitely deserves the hype.
