  • how do you do, fellow anarchists?

  • Yes, shockingly, the definitions of words are semantics!

    And to literally ask if something meets a definition then try to dismiss the response as semantic while offering your own incorrect definition is fantastically silly.

    Gangs are structured groups of people that exist to generate profit illegally.

    Unincorporated businesses are structured groups of people that exist to generate profit legally.

    Incorporated businesses are structured groups of people that exist to generate profit legally with the special legal status of personhood.

    Part of the point @mark3748@sh.itjust.works was making is that corporations are nearly identical to other organizations, even illegal ones, except they have a legal status that lets them do far more damage.

  • A corporation by definition benefits from the law.

    Corporations are businesses that have been given the the legal rights of a person. As if they had a body. Or corpus, if you will.

  • Because the first digit in each of the numbers is larger than the second digit it would be the triple inverted pyramid as shown, where the larger numbers correspond to larger sub-pyramids and larger digits correspond to the larger side of the sub-pyramid.

    The colored text and marks on the pyramids are to show that.

  • From my read of the article he wasn't wearing it, he was holding it in his hands along with the trash...

    What's the line of thinking on that?

    Get up. Realize it's trash day and grab the trash to go outside - but wait! What if some ne'er-do-well has been lying in ambush until 6 in the fucking morning to rob me of my precious trash? Better grab my heat. Shit I'm still in my pajamas and my holster is in the other room. I'll just walk out like some romcom librarian, except instead of books I have a heap of trash and a loaded gun and the part where I trip is a lot less cute.

  • I mean... Western cultures? That's why so many Western measuring systems are in base 12 and why we have special words for dozen and gross.

    Base 10 being ubiquitous is fairly new and it replaced bases like 12 and 16 that were easier for people to track mentally.

    EDIT: And that's not to say non-Western cultures didn't use 12 or 16. They're super common all over.

  • I've heard it that the first 11 don't complain.

    If you're the majority you don't have to leave; you can refuse them a seat.

    I recall Nazis were only about a third of the Reichstag when Hitler enacted emergency powers, and maybe that in the population.

    Republicans I think are between a quarter to a third of the US population - and the more famously crazy ones not even that.

  • Oh, do you need the "!" in front of the link? I tried something like that at first and it showed nothing

  • Timesheets

    Jump

  • I worked somewhere that had multiple time keeping systems but only one counted for getting paid and they didn't talk to each other.

    So you'd have to open one or more of the others, figure out the hours for each day - because it just showed start and end times, not total hours - and copy that into the getting-paid one. They made a little app to do the math for you that showed you what to copy into the other program.

    I pointed out that this is literally what computers are for and it could be entirely automated and was told something like "you can't trust computers to do it right".

    And don't get me started on "If you submit your timecard on Wednesday, HR can process it by Xday so you get paid 'a day early'"

  • Starbucks is reeling as customers go elsewhere, sales decline

    Jump

  • Awesome. Unfortunately the agreement was made "in perpetuity" so there's no obvious route to them leaving Nestle.

    That's part of why I actually email them, and in the first email I said that I'm bothering to send anything because I do really like their stuff, and I think their other charitible actions mean I can hope they'll take customer feedback. As opposed to Nestle which I expect to tell me to gfm.

    I've steadily leaned away from that belief as the company digs farther in to being every crappy anti-labor chain.

    Jump

  • I started boycotting Starbucks when I learned they had partnered with Nestle for store-bought products - their Sumatra and Komodo Dragon coffees were pretty good.

    I send an email every year or so to let them know, since boycotts aren't effective if the group being boycotted doesn't know why, with predictably apathetic responses.

    Anyway, if you're a no-Nestle person then Starbucks is on the list...

  • But how will people know what size the pp is?

  • Everyone blames EPA while forgetting two things.

    The manufacturers chose to do this; no regulations prevent them from making a vehicle like the one on the left that meets the new standards. They're just evading the standards.

    Politicians of all walks allow regulatory capture, so almost all regulations are influenced by the people that should be regulated, making them useless or easy to evade.
