Aliexpress search is just the worst in that regard. âHey I want to buy microchip X123457â - âSure, here are some other totally different chips and a few iPhone cases for youâ.
Without site:aliexpress.com and search engines I would never find anything on there.
Not to mention that it changes the actual results if you decide to use any of its shitty filters or even order by price. Like, if your search result had 4 pages and you order by price, suddenly itâs now 2 pages. My bet is shady assholery to fuck with sellers that arenât paying enough, much like Amazon
At work in my department they told us we can put decorations in our (at home!) office but to try and stay religiously neutral. Meanwhile in my friendâs department (same employer) they got an email to wish employees a happy Easter back in April, happy Mawlid (celebration of Muhammadâs birth) back in September and happy Shemini Atzeret and Simchat Torah in OctoberâŠ
Iâm an atheist so I donât celebrate any of these things and to me holidays should just be spread equally to give people long weekends, but I canât help but laugh at the hypocrisy when it comes to Christmas compared to all other holidays through the yearâŠ
Thatâs honestly refreshing to hear that your friends department encouraged them to celebrate multiple different religious holidays. There shouldnât be any problem celebrating religious holidays as long as they are all given equal considerations and the company doesnt play favorites.
To me anything religious should be treated as such, something private that has nothing to do with your workplace and only secular holidays should exist considering holidays are imposed by the government and thereâs supposed to be a separation of religion and State (in my country anyway), but I know my opinion on this subject is pretty extreme.
The holidays we have are so commercialized they hardly feel religious to me. Christmas and Easter are just times to spend with family, nothing to do with Jesus.
Then people should have no issue with them being moved around so the holidays are equally divided throughout the year, right? Thereâs no importance to them happening on the specific dates they do at the moment, right?
Thereâs only five true public holidays applied throughout the whole of Canada
Quebec has their National holiday but no civic holiday. Only four provinces out of ten (two of those only for government employees), the territories and jobs under federal jurisdiction have the truth and remembrance day.
Even counting all of them thereâs a big hole after the new year and the next one is⊠Good Friday which is 100% religiousâŠ
But at the federal level thatâs 12 holidays that could be separated to get rid of religious holidays and to give everyone one long weekend every month!
What annoys me, and Iâm Jewish ethnically but Iâm an atheist, is the commercialization of Hanukkah. It wasnât even a major Jewish holiday. People just decided, âwell, itâs near Christmas and they used to give raisins. Good enough.â I mean just make up a new holiday or something.
to be honest, I dont know a single fellow american that thinks that âamerican foodâ (whatever that even means) is better than just about any other variety. Yet what you said is true nonetheless lmao
The most difficult game to play is to drive calmly (almost never use the brake pedal) while leaving plenty of room for assholes to merge in front of you. Requires huge amounts of attention and emotional discipline. Best game on the highway though.
The annoying thing is: if everyone did this, phantom traffic jams wouldnât be a thing, and even real road obstructions would have significantly less impact and we would all get where we want to go faster, collectively. But we wonât, because I got mine.
at least once a month i have to dodge some moron passing on the right (and through empty, marked, parking spaces..which is not legal), someone who is either turning left or had stopped for me---in a marked crosswalk, and literally right in front a fucking sign that says 'stop for pedestrians'.
I would do so much to improve the world if I had even one billion dollars. Rocket ships donât help the homeless. Mars wonât solve the lack of money in education. A car flying through the void of space does not create public transportation. A mega yacht doesnât feed the hungry.
Please let me handle your money, billionaires. Youâll look so good at the end of it.
While Musk is undeniably a massive dickhead, letâs not devalue space exploration because of him. Many things we rely on today such as GPS, certain types of medical treatments and drugs, even eye surgery, were only possible due to the advancement of space technology.
Rocketships donât help people directly, but for isntance, they put satelites in orbit that help farmers have a more precise control and understanding over their crops, putting more food on our plates.
I was in traffic on the weekend that was doing about half the speed limit, and passed a car that had been pulled over. I thought they must have done something pretty impressive to manage that.
Not trying to be racist but itâs almost always a man and a woman who are both White - and probably a Black side character if they are feeling generous.
Hollywoodâs (meaning movie and TV producers in general) default is white and straight.
The hetero norm is changing slowly, but the white norm is still very much a thing. Typically for a movie to feature a predominantly POC cast, itâs directed by a POC and listed as a POC movie, rather than just⊠well, a movie.
