You cannot be salaried and deducted hours you don't work.

Either you are hourly, and paid for the hours you actually work, or you're salaried, and paid regardless of how many hours you work.

What your employer is doing is illegal, and wage theft.

That might be a crime against humanity, but it isn't a crime in the US criminal code.

Because you can judge actions separate from other actions.

Doing bad does not mean he can't do anything good.

You should read what the electoral college does, because that's not what it does.

Does it get contaminated with something like the cooling water of a nuclear power plant?

This doesn't happen unless the reactor was sabotaged. Cooling water that interacts with the core is always a closed-loop system. For exactly this reason.

Lmao

Windows doesn't sell enterprise shit to normal people

This is why you gotta totally avoid sites like this one https://massgrave.dev/windows_ltsc_links

Steam has no competitors because nobody is competing with them, not because they are forcing nobody to compete with them.

Steam isn't abusing their dominant position to prevent competition. Other companies could make their own storefront and compete with steam. Nobody does in a way that's actually comparable to steam.

Steam has a monopoly, but it's not because steam is actively keeping it that way.

I endorse invalidating the 2 party system by not participating in the 2 party system and forcing reform.

And how do you plan to do that before shit turns bad?

You shouldn't just ignore elections as if they won't affect you. Unless you have a plan to fix it before the next one. So what's your plan?

Honestly better than amazon having it

LVT, not property tax. You want to tax the value of the land, not the value of the property built on it.

We should use them to replace workers, letting everyone work less and have more time to do what they want.

We shouldn't let corporations use them to replace workers, because workers won't see any of the benefits.

Or, all doors should have an obvious mechanical backup that doesn't require that.

TOO LATE

Where would you... find one of these? For a friend

Wanna back that up with something?

Do you not know how this site works

It is decentralized.

and if your car breaks down chances are someone young will fix it for free someone old will give you a ride into town

If you pass as white.

Never blame those in power when it’s the constituency who put them there.

We can blame both tho

Spinning it as if those elected have no blame is absurd. They know what they're doing.

The companies that own those won't give up the revenue from the EU lmao

I mean, it's pretty easy to limit it to felonies.

(I recall reading that the damage is proportional to the vehicle weight to the fourth power, probably with some more nuance)

Yes. Road damage is based on vehicle weight. To the 4th power, yes. Heavier vehicles do exponentially more damage than lighter ones. https://www.hagerty.co.uk/articles/opinion/opinion-cars-have-a-weight-problem-and-its-damaging-more-than-the-environment/

But actually it's based on axle weight. This is why Semis have many axles, to spread the weight out.

But actually it's based on tire weight. This is why Semis have doubled wheels on their axles.

But actually it's based on contact pressure. This is why Semis have wider tires than your standard car.

Start by defining "woke".

16+44 is 60, not 70

but most cities would have to be torn down and rebuilt to achieve this.

We did it once, we can do it again!

I was poor. I’m not poor anymore.

"It's not a problem for me, so therefore it can't be a problem for anyone"

You... do realize how fucking stupid that sort of "logic" is right? Other people are allowed to have different experiences.

True, but giving money for free isn’t a proper way of fighting with poverty.

It literally is. Study after study proves just giving people money with no strings attached gives massive benefits for essentially no net cost.

The fact that you don't know this proves you either ignore this, or don't search anything to confirm you're correct.

DLC is literally just DownLoadeable Content

So like... I don't get the hate for a specific method of providing content. Like, there's obviously a difference between Factorio's Space Age, and what The Sims does, even though they are both DLC.

"Deficit" spending on the governmental level isn't the same as a family deficit spending.

Do you regularly get malware from xbox controllers?

The only problem I have with it is I can't like videos. As much as people push it, I still want to do it for the people I watch.

But that's not worth dealing with Youtube's BS

Maybe they are, but it's not "absolutely zero" like you said.

No. More people spending money doesn't cause inflation.

Sorry. I corrected it. Here it is again.

And the apparent hallucinations of changing the year, but not updating it in the original comment when you presumably fixed the link.

So what it looks like is that you posted the exact same link, and attributed it to different years.

Then why bother putting the article here?

Because it's interesting regardless of whether I can buy it or not?

I watch reviews on computer hardware that I definitely can't afford, because it's interesting.

We can congratulate for the good while booing the bad.
