It's not enough to just base this on screens. It's also workplace environments. Even something as "simple" as working in a pizza place, say Domino's, is increasingly a frantic assembly line where orders can come at

If they aren't generating capital from investments and work for a paycheck, they are working class. Capitalists have capital. The rest of us are born with only our labor to sell, whether that labor is blue collar or white collar. The

The part that gets me about this one is that doxxing is a bannable offense on reddit, but they're clearly not banning the lyft corporate account that did the doxxing. On my end, they have removed the offending comment (finally) but it&

I would have to go back and find another article, but her public defender thinks she's not competent to understand what is actually happening. In the times she has been in court, she has mostly complained about the amount of papers

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say if your business requires you to: 1. Only hire immigrant laborers to do the work 2. Have exceptions carved out for those laborers so you don't have to pay minimum wage or overtime Your business w

This is literally how all social relationships work, including non-romantic ones. Mimicry is the basis of how social groups are formed. You're literally participating in it (whether you know it or not) by communicating with others, pe

This is super valid. I grew up with these games, and I have heavy nostalgia for them, but they were heavily limited by the hardware of the time. I think some series have had really good modern translations, like the New Super Mario Bros s

See, I read this situation as entirely differently. Google is not being unreasonable in understanding that they can't afford to store all data from everyone indefinitely. They are not being unreasonable that it is a potential security
