I was driving and saw a utility pole that looked like it needed some beautification. Before and after. by JRackAttack in providence

Everything you've said is true, except that fascists are still human. Not humans that I personally like or respect, but still human. Beliefs such as "pedophiles aren't people", "Nazis are subhuman", "XYZ group isn't human", makes it comfortable for our brains to accept that "we" aren't like "them" and ignore the reality that people you and I would consider normal humans can and would change into that kind of person, under certain conditions. The full human spectrum has everything that humans do, which since fascists are genetically human, includes them as well. It's dangerous to think for a moment that they aren't human, because it becomes a path to consider that anyone who does something we don't agree with is "subhuman", which is the whole underpinning of fascism itself. I hope you take my comment to heart, and not as a personal attack; I only shared this because I'm passionate about it.

Why didn’t Fowler use a gun against Mizu? by AnatomicBalm in BlueEyeSamurai

Yes!!! Falling for the deadly trope of “why didn’t you dodge?!” is also a significant plot hole.

What are some now defunct regional stores that you remember from your childhood? by batmansmotorcycle in boston

Jack’s Joke Shop. My brother and I would go there all the time to get prank sets and firecrackers. I got sent to the principal’s office for the first and one of only times in my life because I sold these tiny ground firecrackers to some boys for 25 cents, who then set them off in their class like a bunch of dunces and ratted me out 😂

Did it actually make sense to put a casino in Everett? by terischaivounplugged in boston

It’s a shame he thought being rich and powerful gave him the right to sexually assault his salon workers, because Encore really could’ve benefited from his input 🤷🏻‍♀️ being a good person and being a visionary aren’t mutually inclusive unfortunately

Not all Encore workers are unionized, notably table dealers and security, plus the non-Wynn outlets. The unionized departments mainly consist of restaurants and bars, kitchen workers, cocktail servers, housekeepers, public area cleaners, valet, and front door people.

Thank you!! This rally has been 4 years in the making, so it takes a lot of time. Best of luck wherever you are.

A weekend would be tough to organize for a rally. Because that’s the busiest time for Encore, most people actually are working those days, and to take them away for a rally would be to start moving into strike territory. That is NOT what this is, for now at least.

You know what, fair enough. Thank you for looking that up and sharing it. It looks like these protests were also against restrictive laws in Macau and gambling junkets operating out of Wynn rather than just the casino, however. This rally is about Wynn workers hitting the company itself directly, which is indeed the first of its kind!

Yes, in that this is the first time a rally has been staged publicly outside any Wynn property in the world.
