A time lapse of every nuclear explosion in history:
A time lapse of every nuclear explosion in history:
We have to pay for the services we use somehow. I’d rather it be cash than the details of my entire life. But the money to operate those services has to come from somewhere
They changed the law after that fiasco. The new 2019 law requires backpay without need for approval
Herd animals gonna herd animal ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Most map projections dramatically underestimate the size of the Pacific Ocean:

We’re just not used to seeing this half of the planet depicted, and the Pacific IS almost half of the entire planet.
Funny story, instead of referring to groups of adults as " hey guys," I like to refer to them as “hey kids.” You know how many grown adults I’ve had object to this? Zero. Not one. Ever.
We all know it’s true

Whoever you are, wherever you are, make the extra effort to make sure you can vote this cycle. Just because of how much they don’t want you to
Agreed wholeheartedly. That said, Oppenheimer is officially the only biopic I’ve ever watched twice and will definitely watch again someday. Which makes it my favorite biopic, for whatever that is worth about a genre that I loathe.
I don’t know that it’s better; just pointing out that it is kind of how the country works right now. Around 10% of their entire population works overseas at any given time. And those higher paid workers like nurses can bring a lot of value to their families back home.
Is it right? Is it a good idea? I can’t speak to that. But the country has developed an entire administration to deal with it:
(I work with a lot of Filipino nurses who have explained some of this mentality to me.)
Almost 10% of the entire GDP of the Philippines is the money those overseas workers send home:
You’re not wrong about the fact that we underinvest in training our own population to do this work though.
“Women are specifically stating that the direct reason they’re choosing to delay pregnancy is the fall of Roe creating emergency health concerns.”
“I dunno, are you sure you can believe what women say? Did you check the “real” data?”
There are so many consumers MONOPOLIES now that products that aren’t good or exploit their users can still have a healthy market.
FTFY
Unfortunately we have to use large bore needles for blood. Smaller needles will damage red blood cells :/
(I’m a nurse. It’s a problem when giving blood transfusions to smaller people also.)
They can buy themselves a few years at best without a functioning supply chain. We all depend on society, no matter how much they like to deny it
They think they do. No amount of money will protect a person from the collapse of a civilization. Never has, never will. Their plans are very much predicated on the assumption that markets will somehow magically continue to function after the general populace has lost all faith in them
Here’s a crazy radical idea: Wealth does not improve people beyond a certain point. Leisure time and lack of stress improve people. The American culture of work yourself to death to accumulate is killing us and it’s killing the world. It’s time to stop.
Work, make enough money to provide, have plenty of leisure time to relax and spend with your family. Those are the lives we should be striving for.
Why is less productivity a horrible thing? Why is wanting a good wage for just showing up and doing your normal job a bad thing? Why is having no interest in moving into management so atrocious?
It’s way past time to start questioning American work culture. I shouldn’t be expected to be operating at the razor’s edge of my ability to keep up with everything constantly and forever for the rest of my life. I just want to punch a clock, do my job, and also be able to afford my mortgage for having done that and nothing more.
“Unions make people lazy” “Unions make people less creative, less likely to work to fix problems” “Unions make employees fight with each other” “Unions mean we’ll earn less money”
The propaganda I’ve heard from older generations is really incredible. We’re still actively unionizing lol
There only being that one playbook is the exact reason why I have a patch on my backpack that reads: “Evil is boring”
