Lmao that a stilted moron like this would call himself a CEO

CEOs absolutely don't bother with micromanaging their employee schedules. what kind of moron would look at that poo poo if they run everything?

MOREOVER: gently caress you who the gently caress works more than 8 hours a day? and if they do they should get OT you stupid bitch.

Unless you have kids under 8 are you probably haven’t heard of him.

Is the bane of my life though, trying to keep my kids away from him but he’s all over kids YouTube.

Go to a toy shop and see dollar store items with his face slapped on it sold for $20+

Talking to other parents at the playground and the ones who’s kids watch him all the time are convinced he’s there best friend. To the point they talk about his videos like “my best friend did this”, “can I get this toy my best friend showed me”.

It’s disgusting and you can’t block his channel or keep him out of YouTube recommendations, because the platform is just about pushing audio-visual crack to children so they can be marketed to.

Airpods seem like such a weirdly bad idea to me, like here's these tiny-rear end things that have to be battery powered from a tiny-rear end battery, and even better they can easily fall out of your ear and be lost forever, oh and also they cost like $200

Is there some actual selling point besides "apple says they're cool so they're cool, buy them"?

So like......... why is dental always separate? My teeth are part of my body. Tooth pain can be so intense it gives you a goddamn brain aneurysm!

it's definitely the cost. taking care of teeth costs a shitload and it's even more money if your teeth are in bad shape to begin with.

we had a lady in my union whose fillings ruined her because of some kind of intolerance her body had to nickel and the union could NOT get the company to cover having them replaced with enamel or something non-metal.

half of millennials are parents btw

they just aren't typically having multiple kids thanks to all the expense - daycare for a newborn can easily approach what you're paying in rent, and thanks to our nonexistent labor protections we don't really have paid parental leave (outside of california) so tons of parents are putting new babby into daycare and going back to work after less than a month, it's insane

i know of some people who're able to rely upon their boomer parents for some of this, but they're certainly in the minority. lol boomers

washington state has paid parental leave and my employer lobbied HARD to put a clause in the law that let any company employing people under an active CBA to not implement it.

literally the ONLY company in the entire state still holding out is Boeing.

This stuff is just insane. I think my wife pays $26/month for the four of us. My first son's C-section delivery (covered 100%) cost us $30 out of pocket, and my second son's C-section (covered 90%) was like $70.

I'm in the US and I pay ~$97 a month for my whole family (four people). the out of pocket max is like $3000 and it's combined among all covered individuals.

the trick is to have a labor union that's worth a loving poo poo

oh yeah totally.

e: there's literally no "medical coverage story" that is good in this system. there is only "thats marginally better than that other garbage."

I'm not trying to brag or poo poo on people who don't have what I have. I'm imploring those who want to have it to understand that solidarity as a cohesive unit is what gets this kind of coverage while other groups get absolutely shat upon and smile for the privilege.

it's even more infuriating that my coworkers who have had these protections since they were 19 or whatever and don't know any better constantly poo poo on the union and complain about their guaranteed raises not being high enough.

I'm sensing you're upset about something...

the only reason I ever toot my horn about something as loving stupid and dumb as a $3000 OOP MAX is because in this hell country that's the best possible option for like almost everyone and it's literally only possible because of organized labor that gives us collective power to tell the company to suck our loving shitholes and not get fired for it.

some gently caress from Canada or wherever posting "lol that sucks you idiot" isn't helpful. the best option for the majority of working Americans is to unionize and stand up to their employers.

the most formative part of my high school education was when I missed a couple days of school due to being sick and it happened to be when we were being taught about Manifest Destiny.

just trying to catch up on the lessons I missed, I seriously asked other students and the teacher at least three times what the gently caress it was supposed to mean and I almost thought I was being pranked.

The general market price of coffee is below what it costs to produce. Coffee, along with chocolate, is some neocolonial crap. This is why I buy artisinal and ridiculously expensive coffee and sometimes chocolate, where I have some reason to believe that the money I pay actually benefits the farmers. This makes me a wanker, I know.

Fun fact: most coffee farmers don't drink coffee, because that's expensive, so they actually have no idea how it tastes.

Also the chocolate industry has a plan to stop "the worst kind of child labour" (child slaves) by live 2035 or something.

I have a lib friend who went on a tear like five years ago after he read an article about chocolate. I remember one party where we were making s'mores and he shittily brought out some fair trade chocolate and started talking about what we had as "slave chocolate".

I personally don't like it cuz the pineapple is too watery which is weird to have on a pizza, but I also don't like tomatoes for the same reason - they're fine in sauces and stuff but like, a thick slice of tomato on a burg or something is just this weird-rear end vegetable flavored gelatinous goo.

Anyway everyone who likes the things I don't like is objectively stupid and wrong.

Just drain it and dry it out a little bit on a cookie sheet first in the oven.

Pizzas, much like salads, are about moisture management.
