And rob your coworkers of the joy of seeing the cat point his butthole directly at the camera???

Cats showing up in the middle of meetings is the best part of meetings

Remember when trudeau said “this will be the last FPTP election” (i’m paraphrasing)???

I actually believed him and held my nose and voted for him

I would vote for him as prime minister… The federal NDPs need a change

So… Only slightly more than 2 microsofts ($3.2T market cap)

Not really good news for the plastic that isnt waste. Plastic pipes or structures in buildings that were meant to last decades we dont want eaten away by fungus

I keep hearing how addictive nicotine is (7x more than heroin??), but in my experience, i never got addicted. Is there something wrong with my brain?

I never smoked two packs a day, but i spent at least 3 years smoking socially (2 or 3 smokes at work every day and then 2 or 3 smokes at the bar on the weekend). So around a pack a week.

But during that time, i could always just take a week or two off if i needed to. I always wanted a smoke (especially with a beer or coffee) but i could resist the urge, no problem.

At the end of the 3 years, i just quit cold turkey. I would keep smoking once in a while with a beer, but i never went back to regular smoking…

Do you only get addicted if you’re smoking a pack a day or more?

That said, I think Costco is clearly the lesser of these particular evils. I have no doubt that given time they’ll turn to shit, but thus far (to my understanding) they at least pay something resembling a living wage and have reasonably consumer-friendly policies.

You’re absolutely right. Give credit where credit is due.

But eventually when the line stops going up then all of those worker/customer friendly policies will go out the window.

Oh look, two more publicly traded companies that are beholden to shareholders and single mindedly focused on profit.

Just because they’re cheaper doesnt mean they aren’t just as greedy as Loblaws

I mean, compared to the sterotypical salaryman hours, it is short

Shit must be really bad in japan if this dude is doing OK making just over minimum wage, in the highest (or second highest) cost of living cities in canada…

Cant wait for my $10 gift card!

Werent a bunch of the fires started by arsonists?

Are you not aware of how insanely popular PP is right now? I agree he is a piece of shit, but he is polling very high

He is almost certainly going to be the next PM at this rate, which is a scary thought…

i think its a bit more simple than that

If a product is really good experience for you (ie. Not crammed with ads) AND you dont pay anything for it, then it’s not profitable.

Google didnt become one of the biggest companies in the world by doing volunteer work for your benefit

They only exist to show ads and/or harvest your data. Once those goals are met, then the user doesnt matter. They NEVER mattered

Prompts are just the reverse of image recognition AI tagging stuff.

Alt text is exactly the kind of tedious work that AI would be good at doing, but everyone in the fediverse seems to have a huge hate boner for ANYTHING AI…

Fediverse: write a fucking essay every time you post an image… But make sure you waste time doing it manually, instead of using AI tools!!!

I’m just picturing bart and milhouse running that factory

Because gov’t at any level should be using open platforms to communicate with citizens…

“Come join our roundtable discussion on… Facebook”

Thats the opposite of transparency and open participation

Plus create jobs!!! /s

As a homeowner, it wouldnt be the end of the world if my home value went to zero (exaggerating here) but it meant my young coworkers could afford to buy a place.

I still have a place to live after all
