You'll have to use pto time to drown, but make sure it's approved first
  • There should be some consequences to the management who didn't allow them to leave didn't send them the fuck home immediately.

    I work in a factory that sits on a flood plane. It's happened more than once that by the time a decision is made to cut people loose, it's already difficult to leave the area. Often by the time a flash flood warning is issued there are only a few minutes of clear roadway left.

    It's entirely possible that a similar situation happened here, that the safest place for those people to be was in that building, that there was no way out and they would have been swept down stream regardless.even if that's the case, this company should be held liable for sitting on their hands and keeping people at work through a storm where the risk of flooding was so great. That decision should have been made much sooner. If there was a job to come back to you can always post them for a Saturday and wouldn't have to pay overtime until they actually hit 40 hours.

    I'm so fucking fed up with the false urgency in these places. This company made high density plastic parts. Literally nothing they were making is life or death. Nothing they were making couldn't wait another day. No customers were going to bail because the factory they needed their parts from got hit by a fucking hurricane.

    But everyone, every fucking person in leadership, is constantly pressured to squeeze out more units, more production. Keep people working as long as possible, because every second they're not making a product is a second the company is losing money. And because now every fucking company has jumped on to the lean manufacturing model, they are constantly, perpetually, chronicly behind. The second an order comes in it's already too late and we need those units NOW. no lead time, no back orders. So stay at your machine because the boss man needs another Lexus.

    Fucking burn it down

  • Just Stop Oil activists throw soup at Van Gogh’s Sunflowers after fellow protesters jailed
  • It's to get cameras thrust in their face so they ask when oil executives will face consequences.

    "Is destroying art worse than destroying the whole planet???"

    It's an idiotic form of protest, it accomplishes nothing but turning the public against you, and forever associating your cause with petty vandalism.

  • This may be careful wording to avoid it being struck down by the Supreme Court.

    Individual states have limited power to limit contracts. And while this may be a flimsy leg to stand on, SCOTUS may as well be the great American flamingo when it comes to standing on a single shakey leg

  • most members of the warrior class were little more than brutish thugs. A handful would have taken the strategy of individual combat seriously and they would have done quite well.

    The majority of the people they were fighting were lightly armored at best and they could get away with just swinging the sharp end at the unfortunate peasant conscripted to try to stop them.

    There are plenty of examples of knights and samurai alike, falling for just the most obvious trap you could imagine. Templars charging in to open gates, samurai rushing to duel a guy who insulted them, in both cases blood drunk and stupid, children of privilege and in armor by accident of birth.

    The Last Duel is a decent example of what happens when guys like that and up fighting each other.

    We tend to have a romantic view of the past, but we have a great Instagram filter between us and then. Reality is ugly and violent. Few people are artists, even fewer are talented artists. This is true whether they're painting or drawing blood.

    Help me understand this effect

    This is an abrasive disk, rotating at 1500 rpm. When I shine my flashlight at it, it carries the glow with it, approximately halfway around the disk. What am I seeing happen here?

    So I'm at a mandatory holiday luncheon

    But they sent my area to a different building.

    I'm at a place I don't know, surrounded by people I've never met, and as it happens food I can't eat.

    I'm not allowed to leave.

    I'm supposed to feel appreciated.

    Keto @lemmy.world Wogi @lemmy.world

    I wish people would just leave me be when they want to provide food for everyone, a rant.

    It's the holidays, at my job I will be attending at a minimum 3 holiday meals on different days. They send around these little slips and we all vote on what to have.

    There's never anything available that I'll actually be able to eat.

    My diet, while not strictly keto, is at my doctor's recommendation. I've successfully eliminated any danger I faced due to rising blood sugar, and the jury is still out on carbs re-entering my diet in any significant capacity.

    I am fully aware of how difficult it can be to prepare food without carbs. Especially to someone who's never done it.

    At every opportunity I make it clear that I am perfectly happy, and I'm fact would prefer to simply feed myself. I get that they're trying to show appreciation, but I would appreciate knowing exactly what's in my food, rather than having to trust that everyone in the chain of people involved getting me a low carb meal knew exactly what that meant.

    I like my meals, I like how healthy I have become. I honestly have never really enjoyed the food they get anyway. Just let me do my thing goddamnit

    D and D had multiple 10 episode seasons to get it done. Lucas did it in three movies.

    Anakin has a clear motive, and a logical progression from naive to evil.

    The Expanse @lemmy.world Wogi @lemmy.world

    Books like the expanse?

    I'm 75% of the way through the last book in the series. I've read all of the novellas. What would you recommend next?

    Three only other series I can think of that's similar is the Three Body series from Cixin Liu.
