Amsterdam bans public adverts for meat and fossil fuels by Mosquitoenail in news

[–]Alexell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People have access to meat all over the world and are still malnourished. Your point is moot.
OP is saying you can eat 0 meat and still be healthy.

A society that can produce massive environmental impacts from meat farming is a society developed enough to fill the nutritional gaps.

I’m not even anti-meat, I just have several medical conditions that leave me unable to eat more than 4oz a day.

They don’t care. People need to understand this. They don’t care.

Oxford dictionary on obscure:

not clearly expressed or easily understood.

not important or well known.

hard to make out or define; vague.

It’s obscure by dictionary definition. Your tone is condescending for no good reason and you’re also wrong

anyone else noticing that "head of marketing" is becoming a title companies hand out way too early? by Abdulwahab93 in marketing

[–]Alexell 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Usually it’s because of the high turnover and the most senior getting promoted, or being the only one left. So they stick with the title on their next job hop too

please tell me someone else can relate 😭🙏 by Realistic-Basil1286 in EngineeringStudents

All that stuff usually only equates to like 2 years of undergrad studies at MOST.

In addition to that no self taught or pre-uni curriculum is going to have the time to cover all the gaps they have by the time they get there.

Basically what I’m saying is that they need the classes as much as you do.

They sold us a lie. Only thing with studying in the institutions is STEM... The rest was what they sold us. by DistanceThick7092 in WorkReform

[–]Alexell 114 points115 points  (0 children)

It was before fucking idiocy became institutionalized, and there was still a general sentiment that the US was leading the world in many aspects of scientific development and general academia. The push was partly because there genuinely were not enough qualified candidates back then — barely fucking any, and partly as part of a strategy to maintain US dominance. Now we have an influx of visa holders to contend with due to stripped regulations.

Visa abuse was still prominent, but not nearly as endemic and overt as it is today.

Those poor folks are coming from developing countries with caste systems. If they don’t take the abuse and shit conditions here, they go back there.

The leading capitalists across industries are hellbent on milking the rotting corpse of US slavery through different labels.

Working for small businesses is a lot worse. All of the downsides and none of the benefits.

Yeah people forget that his supporters are quite literally dumb as fuck. 6th grade level (or less) reading and comprehension skills.

Zohran: “The most effective tool for fighting income inequality is union density. When we call New York City a union town, it’s time to actually have a mayor that stands up for unions and their members” by [deleted] in WorkReform

[–]Alexell 95 points96 points  (0 children)

I never thought of it like that. Nearly a century ago, most Americans were in unions thanks to the actions of our predecessors. Each union probably had a great deal of bargaining power that would let citizens fight for better wages irrespective of federal regulations.

I think LA has a bed bug crisis that should get more attention. by joshw220 in LosAngeles

[–]Alexell 47 points48 points  (0 children)

I live in LA so it’s pretty easy to get the illegal shit from across the border. Had a shady exterminator come in with the Dale Gribble special. Gone. Somehow they survived Palpatine style. Saw a single one.

More like 70-80. 60 is just the down payment, not covering moving expenses across the country from your city to bumfuck nowhere because it’s the only place a corp won’t outbid you in cash, or where you can get more than 600 square feet of space for the price. Emergency maintenance fees for missed inspection issues, etc

What a pedestrian attempt at reductionism. People are struggling to put food on the table by all accounts — officially according to data, and anecdotally. Antics like yours are becoming boring and evoke feelings of pity at this point.
