What are your work hours like? And have you invested in anything? (stock, crypto, physical assets like gold or silver, ...)
What a state the world is in. We consider you lucky, yet this should be the absolute minimum.
Oregon and Minnesota are the only other states that mandate similar protections.
😱 3/50 states require employers to provide water, breaks and cool areas when indoor temperatures hit 28C???
The USA is third world country and first world country at the same time. Just fucking crazy.
Male presenting? What does that mean?
Explained it very well, thank you. Couldn't have done it better :)
Can this even hold up in court?
Lol, who cares! That's just hte poors. Anybody worth their salt will be able to afford portable ACs. So what if by 2050 we'll have heat waves of 60C? That just means all the poors will die. It's divine erasure through oil sales. Money is divine.

Online dating is so shit for the majority of hetero dudes. You're lucky if you match with somebody, luckier if you get to have some kind of discussion that doesn't end after a few messages, even luckier if it ends in a date, amazingly lucky if anything physical happens, and incredibly lucky if it turns into a relationship.
Men are expected to initiate, keep the discussion alive, ask out, keep the woman entertained, and be grateful they were chosen. It only gets worse online.
- exceptional food
- cheap workforce (the next major factory of world after China is becoming "too expensive" and competitive)
- hinduism
- religious segration
- caste system
- extreme poverty and extreme wealth
- racist towards dark skinned people (also due to caste)
- anti-queer
- lots of potential, but also among world leaders in corruption
- hot
- noisy, polluted cities
- very influenced by external forces
I'd like to visit, but Thailand, Vietnam, Bali, and Japan look more enticing.

God cannot be refuted nor confirmed. It's like unicorns, elves, dragons, and many other myths: we have not seen proof of their existence, nor have any claimed proofs of their existence been confirmed to be a valid, but that doesn't rule out that we will never find proof.
Such is my understanding science: there is no absolute certainty nor absolute confidence. I think only logical fallacies might never exist e.g an all-powerful creator immediately runs into the logical problem of "can god create a rock that it itself cannot lift?".
But what if our universe were just a simulation within a machine of a highly advanced species? Their ability to modify the simulation to their will might make them akin to gods for us, but that also incurs the question: what if they were in a simulation themselves? That can be repeated to the root until a "real world" is reached, but that still leaves the question: how did everything come to be?
We can thus cut out all the "if god exists, who created god" and focus on a world without the need to get distracted by the god problem.
Yes, blame everything on the system. Americans are just drones guided by the system by a deluge of ads, indoctrination by the media, school, and government. Taught to consume from the day they exit the womb, every American mindless follows the lifescript incapable of individual thought. A nation of puppets blabbering about freedom, being #1, and the American dream.
Sure, if that's what you want to believe.
Trailers nowadays reveal all the major plot points or nothing at all. Sometimes I'll watch a trailer and know how generic it is, and sometimes I'll watch it not knowing a single thing about the movie.
The best way to watch a trailer nowadays is just the first 30-60 seconds. If you don't know what's going on after that timespan, it's not worth watching, but any longer and you'll know too much.
Planet earth.
I don't think I'm clever, I think I'm right.
Most Americans consume without a second thought. It's not a surprise they are the biggest polluters, consumers, and wasters on the planet.
They're special. Let 'em be special. It keeps things interesting.
Ha ha ha, I don't get the point, so I'll project my incomprehension with a comic.

Sometimes I click on instances to check them out, but feddit.de has consistently been returning a 500 error however there are people posting from there. What kind of magic is this? Have the Germans figured out how to have a private instance that's somehow still connected to the fediverse?

Dating apps are often a miserable experience for the participants, however for some reason they are quite popular and at times can be quite addictive.
