It's really OK to change your mind when new facts are presented. It really is.

In the state of PA if you are over the age of 18, your boss is not forced to give you a break or lunch no matter how many hours you work. I used to work 12+ hr shifts in a gas station and my breaks stopped the moment I turned 18. My boss would brag it was legal to do

Seriously why is this a thing Like they claim it’s not to look bad in front of customers but as a customer I’ve never felt that employees shouldn’t sit that’s insane It’s like some dumb old school business mentality or something

I remember having a pulled sciatic nerve when I worked at GameStop and I had to sit through my shift and customers had some fucking reason to complain?? Like my guy im giving you the same quality customer service sitting down what is your malfunction?

GOD YES. Give them chairs, for crying out loud.

I'm not even allowed to sit behind the counter at work despite having cracked and missing cartilage and my knee randomly giving out I still sit down sometimes, but only if my manager isn't there because i know my other coworkers sympathize with me for my injury.

I think half of the disabled population in the US that is currently unable to work would in fact be able to work if we were allowed to sit down as cashiers lmfao. Bc office jobs won't hire us and we CAN'T physically do entry level minimum wage jobs

....really? are chairs for cashiers just not a thing in the US? thats fucking crazy.

Yes wtf?

the US is *deeply* ableist

as someone who works at a US supermarket, its legit insane how anal managers are about employees just sitting down

what if we created an entire economy around pump and dumps, fomo, and pyramid schemes. thatd be so cool right

Going around at my software company barking if you have time to lean you have time to clean to all the people sitting at their desks working

I was a bank teller for two-ish years and not long after I started the bank I worked at was bought out by a different bank and they took our chairs away because they said it was “less welcoming” if we sat, and customers would think we weren’t ready to help them.

It is deeply immoral that cashiers in the US are not allowed to sit.

You could just organize people instead of complaining.

the broad and undiscerning presumption of good faith is one of the worst and dumbest things about liberal centrist "debate will save us" culture. paranoia is not our friend either, but a blanket assumption of good faith that refuses to even read context clues is what's called being a mark.

It's all so clear now.

If I had explain American history in one sentence, I could do worse than "John Brown was hung for treason, but Robert E. Lee was not."

Optical Illusion is an apex-level dumb guy phrase. I have it on the same tier as Social Experiment and For All Intensive Purposes (sic).

White libs saying “they didn’t used to be like this” when some of these motherfuckers were adults during the Bush administration.

hello twitter users who are just joining us! we're happy to have you on bluesky. you're just in time for "wet wet wednesdays" where we all share the sauces, gravies, and marinades we're working on

People continue to call COVID advocates’ pleas for masking “unreasonable”. Yet people who’ve already been disabled by COVID have no choice but to live with the “unreasonable” burdens of constant COVID safety. My latest: substack.com/home/post/p-...

Rest in Power Miss Major. We all owe you so much. Thank you for everything.

more and more convinced of the need for a sort of plastic surgery norm around Gen AI: it’s fine in of itself to use, any use of it where it’s clear to a layman that you used it should face severe ostracism. If you can’t get away with it without me knowing, you aren’t responsible enough to use it

Oh no! I loved that feed.

the "air bud" franchise is a propaganda machine constructed to launder the reputation of one dog who pulled up the ladder. dogs can't even join the nba union, because of him

Who wins in a head-to-head fight between Mr Nibbles and Glonzo?

Gang of folks thought they were in the club then found out they were on the menu.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

Build mecha to combat the feral hogs, it's the only way.

it's not FOR us

Chiitan has a dream. I hope that one day the term LGBT will become a thing of the past. I will continue to spread my message until we live in a world where everyone can love freely and is free from persecution and discrimination. Until then, let's all support each other🤍

I really have come to 100% believe that the younger, equally evil members of the Trump administration are constantly using AI slop to manipulate their elders.

The most accurate graph I have ever come across

lmao, kristi noem wanted a black bloc fight and got an inflatable rave instead. fuck you DHS, rip city forever.

I just learned that the number of children in the U.S. navigating life with Long COVID exceeds that of the number of kids with asthma. Wow.

normal person: i just want a place to hang out with my friends tech weirdo: and shitheads np: no just my friends tw: but what about hearing alternative views on race and gender? np: we just want to hang out and goof around tw: so where do the shitheads fit in then np: no shitheads tw: not following

Look I don't care what the real reason for these guys backing up was. Right now what millions are seeing is a bunch of armed soldiers retreating from a guy doing pelvic thrusts at them in a frog costume.

One thing I’d be nice if Schatz and others acknowledged is that even judging their hard right turn on immigration in Spring 2024 on its own terms it failed miserably. In July when Harris took over Trump led on “immigration” by 9pts, by election day he led 13pts. At best it, electorally, did nothing

Immergut deposed Monica Lewinsky for Ken Starr, was a US attorney under Bush, and was appointed to the bench by Trump during his first term. This is not some left-wing judge.

It should anger all of us when someone implies that you can be eugenicist towards LLMs. In an age where a eugenicist agenda is being openly implemented by the US president, with the aid/direction of SV technofascists, targeting the most vulnerable among us around the world.

The Ig Nobel is incredible , one year an Indian guy won it for calculating the average surface area of an elephant and during his acceptance they had an elephant hold up a sign with the surface area of the scientist on it, they do showbiz better than the Oscars

Sometimes you gotta post through it. The only way out is through.
