One advantage as I understand it between a worker cooperative and an ESOP is that the worker cooperative has a one person one vote system. It avoids the issue you mention about not having voting shares. I worked at a place with an ESOP and just the managers had shares. And even there they didn’t prevent the business being sold to private equity. Sure they got paid out but now that previously family owned business is part of a monopoly in our industry.
Why is this guy being such a weenie?
Hyphenated names are too long. One of my good friends has one and people just refer to him and his siblings by the initials of their last name, like “Tim MP”
That’s great we’re in agreement. Your comment said “… a lot of people who published research before their marriage continue to publish under the same name even if they changed their name.”
So I didn’t read your comment as saying woman shouldn’t change their name, because you’re describing women changing their name, and then not using the new name in a specific context.
Sure it’s a headache. So why does the woman have to do it? I think either keep your names as is or both people change.
Are you saying that the people who came up with the original surnames are more qualified than people today? At least with my idea when people come up with a new name they have to use it themselves, rather than their defenseless children.
When people get married they should come up with a completely new last name for them both.
A minor sized town near me uses these types of blocks regularly to block off the main street for pedestrians.
I’ll also say I’ve seen Philadelphia just park garbage trucks to block off roads.
Dark empaths sounds like something made up to make life seem more dramatic and mysterious
You’ve got a point, but I’m not sure many johns want to be filmed in the act…
It’s an interesting example how something that most people wouldn’t want if they knew about it still gets implemented.
One reason I want worker cooperatives to become the dominant type of business is that it would reduce the number of powerful actors which are unaccountable to the public. Democratic entities still make bad decisions, but fewer, and there’s a mechanism for error correction.
I just saw this the other day and the poor word choice was enough without cropping out a bunch of the original ad.
The original was funny to me because people thought the second guy was fine when the reality would be if a woman is calling human resources there’s probably something there. It’s a joke told from the perspective of someone who’s unable to see anything wrong and is only representing their side of the story. So I thought this was a riff on that idea, and viewed in that light this version is funny too.
Yeah, Americans reading this on lemmy! Why didn’t you stop… something… from happening?? You definitely are the demographic who supports maga and also definitely have the ability to change the results of an election.
I’m a coding hobbyist, it’s been very helpful in analyzing bugs, giving quick info about syntax and converting formatting for long sections where manually typing would be time intensive.
Point taken by someone else here saying continued use of AI may mean decreased functionally for stack exchange et al. That said, the advantage of AI is that it’s answering your question specifically, instead of spending time sifting through semi related answers.
Outside of code it’s good at aping the form of various genres. So if I need to answer an RFP question in a sales proposal, I might feed it the prompt to get a starting point. It always needs editing since it doesn’t know the details of our business and because it’s writing style is bland, but it’s helpful to get a first draft.
What would become tedious, eliminating crimes from the books? I’m not saying we need to go on some campaign, just here’s a law that isn’t being used, isn’t just, and they’re getting rid of it. That’s good.
We should reduce as much as possible laws that make something illegal but aren’t enforced. It creates uncertainty about your position and allows authorities to threaten citizens for unrelated reasons.
I could beat them both with my invention, the megaspear
Interesting thoughts, thanks for sharing.
On the subject of drift from “ideal” belief systems to corrupt ones, I would argue that what we’re seeing is actually evolutionary pressure.
If we think of ideas as living things, and we place them in an ecosystem of other ideas, they inevitably have to adapt to keep reproducing. (Spreading to another person’s mind)
So generally they have to be the sort of idea one would feel compelled to transmit, and then be transmittable. They have to be understood, received.
I think many people have received a transmission of ideas that is very different from the one that was sent. And then the various pressures of life transform those ideas more.
That can be bad as we’ve seen in cases of Christianity, Marxism and more. It can also be good, because then the belief system becomes sustainable. I’m thinking of certain religions which were batshit when they started, but in order to live on they moderated. Not that they’re entirely reasonable now, but they’re able to live on and wouldn’t have in their original form.
