With all the shit that Trump does, it makes more sense to get mad about things that actually matter.

Needs a third button that says “do stock buybacks”

True. Once you lose your soul from being atheist for too long, you lose the ability to cry

Kagi FastGPT is okay for fact checking. You’ve just gotta put “cite sources” at the end of your query and it will add in-text citations with hyperlinks. Then you can double check its answers.

No, this won’t work. Soy sauce is too thin, so what you need is soy concentrate. If you can’t find it online then just Venmo me $20 and I can send you some.

Most are unionized but not all. Kroger’s union is also just not very good. I never met a union rep that wasn’t friends with management. They do very little to actually represent workers. Also, Kroger has such a high turnover rate that newer employees will usually vote to approve any contract that gives them a raise, no matter how small.

These contracts last for a few years, so as other retailers raise wages to compete with each other, Kroger workers are stuck in their old contract until it expires. If anything, Kroger’s union results in lower wages for the workers compared to other grocery retailers.

UFCW is further weakened by “right-to-work” laws that give union benefits to non-union employees. In my experience, many of the people who opt out of union membership are brainwashed by conservatism and are anti-union. They are also often the people who stay at Kroger the longest.

In addition, Kroger has dozens of “districts”, each with their own contract. These contracts are all negotiated at different times so that if there is a strike, Kroger can send managers from other districts and hire scabs until the strike is over. This prevents strikes from ever really hurting Kroger’s bottom line.

So, to answer your question, Kroger is technically unionized but it’s union is pretty ineffective. Kroger basically operates the same as Walmart or Meijer but with a handful of union policies that they have to follow or they might get fined for a union violation.

With that being said, I am still very pro union. The above is just based on my own experience, having worked there for too many years.

Good luck planting drugs on a skeleton with no shoes

Makes sense. They’re still not for me but, from that perspective, I can see why someone might like them

If you’re in your house then why are you wearing shoes? Just wear socks or go barefoot. Maybe they’re useful if you need to step outside for a minute to take out the trash when it’s cold outside. In my experience, regular slippers tend to fall apart if you wear them outside

The Redbox Crisis

Now I’m glad that I made disposable email addresses for most of my accounts a couple of months ago. With all the data breaches, it seems that email aliases are essential. I use SimpleLogin.

For the sake of simplicity, I also bought a domain to use for all those email addresses

Too humane. How about a hamster wheel with electrified nipple clamps attached to the roof. Whenever they slow down, they get electrocuted. Whenever they move too much, their nipples get tugged on.

They don’t have to make a profit if their intent is to be a propaganda machine. If they serve their purpose then wealthy people will continue donating their money to the cause

Just looked it up. Jeremy Hambly… of The Quartering. Didn’t realize he co-founded a media outlet. Thanks, now I know to avoid it.

How so? She did the “both sides” thing during her speech, and did nothing to actually condemn Israel’s actions. She called out Hamas for the October 7 attack. It’s as if Democrats think that Palestinians are just genociding themselves. Her position on Israel-Palestine seems to be to condemn Hamas and create the most lethal military of all time.

FYI it’s not gonna run on Windows. But you probably already know that.

Don’t forget Grayjay (or anything FUTO makes in general)

I wouldn’t recommend Brave for 3 main reasons:

1. Chromium-based

2. Funded by venture capitalists

3. Supported by crypto and ads

Unfortunately, Firefox and its forks are really the only alternative to Chrome.

I’ve been using Kagi and really like it so far. It’s not good for local stuff, but afaik only Google and Bing have the resources and userbase for things like maps and reviews. It’s designed to be an ad-free ‘premium’ search engine and only earns revenue from users paying for membership.

What about hair dryers?
