Uh oh… looks like someone has a case of the mondays.

byroon, in Estimated Time of Arrival: Just wanted to add...

Sophisticated bear could also be PS imo

Lemjukes,

I’d argue N.B.: would be more appropriate

gurmif, in Slavery: still a thing

Is it immoral? Don’t they “owe a debt to society”?

caseyweederman,

Uh yeah so uh
That green leafy thing
If you inhale it

FIFTY FUCKING YEARS BUCKO

and other totally arbitrary justifications for putting a drastically skewed selection of your citizens into enforced labor

tpihkal,

So the problem is that those people shouldn’t be in prison, not that prisoners should be expected to pay a debt to society.

caseyweederman,

You misunderstand.
I’m pointing out how, when prisoners can be monetized, laws will be invented to maximize profit.
List of U.S. politicians and how much they are being paid by for-profit prisons

tpihkal,

I’m not misunderstanding you, I disagree with you.

Yes it is immoral, they should be rehabilitated instead

But society also needs to fix its dystopia because some crimes where committed out of necessity for example stealing food when you’d otherwise die and their was no way of getting free food

Crimes of necessity don’t need to he rehabilitated because people are forced to commit them due to their current living position

But society isn’t profiting from the labor. It is private businesses, right? There is such a thing in the US as communal or public service as sentence for a crime I am sure but from what I gathered prison labor is not that.

I’d be morally okay if a certain amount of hours of public service would be part of a sentence for crimes which left a debt to society. Such as tax fraud or destruction of public property etc.

@TheSaneWriter@lemmy.thesanewriter.com avatar

Fully agreed. Stuff like, you have to work for the government park corp and clean up parks as your job for the next year is a form of sentencing I could agree with. I don’t agree with random company 400 getting to use you as a slave being your sentence.

DoctorWhookah, in Happy Friday, Lemmy

I always fail to use my vacation throughout the year so this is when I am off on Monday and Friday for 4-5 weeks. Going back to a 5 day week in January really sucks.

9point6,

Maybe nip that in the bud next year and just continue it through January

I can’t think of a worse month to nearly double your workload from the previous

Greggo, in Welcome to Capitalism

There’s a reason why most corporations try to keep a squeaky clean appearance to the public. They’re trying to make money. It baffles me why Elon thinks public perception doesn’t apply to him or his corporations. It’s like he thinks the world is comprised of halfwit tech bros that will lap up any old bit of garbage that comes out of his mouth. Yes, freedom of speech is vital for democracy, but not everyone is required to agree with you or pay you money because you think you are right. A critical short coming of many narcissists.

DragonTypeWyvern,

It’s pretty easy to understand why he thinks he can get away with it when other companies get away with slavery and murder.

Diurnambule, in Welcome to Capitalism

Refused a work proposition for X/twitter yesterday. They are recruiting for their service handling vidéo media

samus12345,
@samus12345@lemmy.world avatar

Can’t imagine why anyone but MAGA cultists would want to work for them at this point.

Diurnambule,

Yeah and when you see how they are fighting against unions in Europe, you can expect great working conditions.

DragonTypeWyvern,

“Why is this position open?”

Diurnambule,

Lol didn’t go this far, the name is confusing enought to lose time wondering if this is for twitter/X or some mystery company.

kismattic,
@kismattic@lemmy.world avatar

Haha love this! Did you give them any reason why? Or just turned them down??

Diurnambule,

Nope, just told I don’t want to work for Elon when I was asking what company is this work description for. The name X is so confusing that I was wondering if this is X/twitter or if the recruiting company was trying to hide the name of their client. Took like 2-3 LinkedIn messages to be sure it was twitter/X.

kismattic,
@kismattic@lemmy.world avatar

Glad they got the feedback that people don’t want to work for the baby king! SWE here, I wouldn’t ever working for one of his companies or really any of the top tech places , but I also have full imposter syndrome so none of them would want me either 😂

Best reason to close the lid: The things you do in the toilet smell. Lid keeps the smells from spreading.

Flushing is a thing.

soggy_kitty,

Tell me you haven’t owned a house without telling me you haven’t owned a house

remotelove, (edited )
@remotelove@lemmy.ca avatar

I own two houses and seven toilets and I can’t say that I have ever had my toilets stink unless they are broken or not cleaned regularly.

Also, they might be stinky if I was to get my nose all up in there, but I tend not to do that.

As far as I know, my bathrooms all have working fans as well. That could cause issues if they were broken.

soggy_kitty,

Cleaning regularly is the one, your short comment above insinuated flushing is all you need to do.

remotelove,
@remotelove@lemmy.ca avatar

The short comment I posted should be classified as a quip.

What it actually insinuated is there is a very short list of operating and maintenance procedures for toilets. If you are to the point of closing the lid to contain odors, some of those basic steps might be getting missed. Hence, the quip.

helmet91,

Plus it hides the nasty stuff you leave behind, when you don’t know how to operate a toilet brush.

MisterD,

I do it to prevent my dog from drinking from the toilet

Prater, (edited ) in Too good to be true

When you have this feeling but are so tired that you don’t care, oversleep, and end up being 5 hours late.

Epicurus0319, (edited ) in Japan is living in the future that the 1990s dreamed of.

Don’t forget the impending population disaster (because they never feel the touch of another person these days, their government literally has to try and encourage them to drink just so they’ll fuck already- and can’t stand immigration) and all those depressed young people using seemingly everything from the slopes of Mount Fuji to their own apartments as log-off locations, and then nobody noticing their bodies for months.

arc,

Not to mention the impending massive economic crisis they’re about to go through - Japanese automotive industry is heavily in debt and watching China eat their lunch. While China was building battery plants and electric cars, Toyota was chasing hydrogen and other go-nowhere technologies.

Sibbo, in Early bird

Why not just go to bed earlier?

Habahnow, (edited )

This is actually a good question that people may not read into very well, and the OP probably knows but didn’t indicate: Humans have a circidian rhthym which is a component that indicates when you naturally want to wake up and sleep. Thoughout our lives it changes at different points, but the important point is that for teenagers, they want to be up at night and also wake up later(almost the exact opposite of elderly people).

So trying to make students sleep at 10pm is very difficult vs having school start later to allow classes to better match their sleep cycle.

harry_balzac,

Additionally, many people who have been well and truly diagnosed with ADHD also experience Delayed Circadian Rhythm which makes them into night owls.

School districts that have shifted to a later start, especially for 12 and up (age wise), have seen improvements in attendance, behavior, and grades.

From an evolutionary point of view, I wonder if it has to do with giving them plenty of evening time for sexual activities. Especially since 30 used to be old age at one point in our past, so teenage years were the childbearing years…

FlyingSquid, in Second Cousins
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

You think that’s confusing? Someone else from my Grandfather’s family, one of his cousins, married someone else from my Grandmother’s family, one of her cousins.

Our family tree is so messed up.

Maestro,

Your family tree is a Gordian knot? Or a Möbius strip?

The lines just go all over the place.

JaymesRS,

I have a great-grandmother where her and her 2 sisters married 3 brothers.

I also have a great aunt on my mom’s side that married my paternal grandfather years after both of their spouses died.
