Larry is a serious dude, but it’s the Darrell’s you really need to worry about.

I don’t know what you think you have to apologize for. Everything about this is amazing.

Orthogonal usually means, unrelated, irrelevant. Sorry if I misunderstood.

I don’t need the links.

Teamsters are still more AFL than CIO that’s for sure.

“I still believe that peace and plenty and happiness can be worked out some way. I am a fool.”

Not believing in worker Solidarity is a bit of a self fulfilling prophecy. You have to build it. You have to work. I believe that people are good. That people can be better. I believe that long term unionization is our only hope against corporate dominance.

Have hope. Get out and work for change.

Actually it is completely relevant. Where there are people there is power. Solidarity is the currency of unionionism and the unity Solidarity provides is the only true source of any Union’s strength.

Former Teamster, 19 year UPS service provider (package car driver), currently studying Social Welfare with an emphasis on community organizing in hopes of working as a labor organizer. I don’t dabble, I think about this shit all day

Respectfully, this is bullshit.

O’Brien growing a spine would have involved calling out Republicans and their policies at the RNC.

The Republican Party, as it exists under the leadership of Donald J. Trump, is a party of and based around an ideology of bigotry, marginalization, oppression, and hatred.

O’Brien’s speech and this announcement serve as a tacit endorsement of that ideology. The leadership or the International Brotherhood of Teamsters is telling the world and the rank-and-file that the repressive, Neo-fascist ideology of Trumpism is at the very least acceptable to them.

There is zero chance that the right to organize survives a second Trump administration.

All O’Brien did here was throwing out female, PoC, immigrant, refugee, migrant, and LGBTQ+ brothers, sisters, and family under the bus.

It was the opposite of Solidarity.

I just put together one of the ten speed variant of these last night and rode it to work this morning. I was surprised by how much I like it so far.

I’m in a pretty hilly college town and had been riding a used 2019 Specialized Como that had been gifted to me. I had a very minor accident on it that cracked a shockingly narrow strip of aluminum that functioned as the motor mount. Any amount of torque made the crack expand and cause chain such. My mechanic called me to tell me it was unrepairable. His tone was so somber he sounded like he was giving me the bad results from a biopsy or something.

Anyway, that bike was my main vehicle. I had built my whole school and work schedule around being able to bike and I had to find a replacement fast.

The v3 seemed to be the best option for my very limited budget. Assembly was straight forward and I think it looks great. I was concerned about the motors power, but I made it up the hills on my ride to work without even turning the assist up half way.

Ride felt great. It honestly felt better than the Como which surprised me given the price difference. It was also really nice to be back riding something so much lighter than that fucking como. That thing weighed a ton.

So far so good.

Why would you want to ruin a perfectly good animatronic Elvis like that?

Is that what they mean by giving the dog a bone?

Svarte Daga in my ass

My family was pretty poor growing up, but we had cable. Back in the day there would occasionally be free weekends of Disney Channel, HBO and the like. Whenever there was one of those free weekends, my parents would buy a super long blank VHS tape and record hours of random movies. So for years every movie that I watched had an 800 number that would pop up every few minutes asking you to call and subscribe.

Exactly. If the don’t close the loopholes then this means precisely dick.

Be white.

In the eastern Kansas city that I live in, a living wage for a single person with no kids is almost $20/hr. There is no way $18 is nearly enough in California.

Can someone build me an all electric Econoline? Preferably with a wizard painted on the side.

Trump’s out there making Sean O’Brien look more and more foolish every week.

I miss bugs. It freaks me out how few I see anymore.

It sort of seems like the Star Wars version of the last 2 Ghostbusters movies. Which I didn’t hate, but also don’t really think of as good. They were fan service, and Star Wars has been way too over saturated with fan service as of late. There was so little of that in Andor and I think that’s one of the reasons the show worked so well. That and the fact that they actually put some effort and thought into the writing.

Batman as tick

$6/lb seems like a pretty good deal. I’ve had monkfish before, it’s good stuff.
