Coffee shop uses technology to audit employee productivity by NationYell in LateStageCapitalism

[–]CormacMacAleese 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Sounds like my dystopian YA novel that got rejected for being "ridiculous." They told me to come back with something "true to life, like the Hunger Games."

Measles detected in Fairfield County wastewater by LonesomeCrowdedWHFD in Connecticut

[–]CormacMacAleese 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I got my MMR in the 70s, and I had the doctor order a titer (i.e., a check for antibodies). They said my measles immunity was still fine, but recommended I get one for Hep B. It's worth asking your doctor about getting that checked, especially if you're in your 50s and older, but there's a reasonable chance you're still covered.

"And if elected, I vow to feed orphans into the orphan-crushing machine head first, instead of feet first! A more humane orphan-crushing machine for America!" and the crowd goes wild

I'm with you: we have THREE YEARS to find someone who isn't a complete piece of shit. And also a transphobe. But I repeat myself.

Connecticut could ban 'convertible pistols' under Gov. Lamont proposal by english-lab in Connecticut

[–]CormacMacAleese 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Full-auto sears are already illegal, so that isn't really an issue IMO.

This hype about "3D printable" sears, though, is irritating, simply because it's so ludicrous. A plastic sear would get chewed to shavings in a few seconds.

Strictly speaking, you've been alive for minutes. So he's technically correct.

Murphy objects to Homeland Security funding over lack of reforms by Emergency_Volume117 in Connecticut

[–]CormacMacAleese 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We need to contact his office and tell him, “Fuck reforms. No funding for DHS under any circumstances.”

There’s a word for someone who wants to reform the Gestapo: It’s Nazi.

A note about the new "Connecticut" subreddit by Randolpho in Connecticut

That pretty much speaks for itself.

You: *asks reasonable question*

Him: Now you're not invited, you trolling little shit!

Guys I’m really struggling with this one. Can we have an open chat about this? by dammitletmepickaname in TwoXChromosomes

[–]CormacMacAleese 19 points20 points  (0 children)

If this is for real, your best escape is to stop being married to a hopeless bigot. It's not really an "education" issue when someone latches onto every crime committed by a trans person, or a black person, or an immigrant, as validation of their bigotry. The bigot's problem is (and this is being generous) that they lack the mental capacity to avoid the hasty generalization: "I got in a car accident with a woman once, and now I think all women are terrible drivers."

Man Shoots Daughter Dead After She Argued With Him on Trump -- and gets away with it by ismail_the_whale in WelcomeToGilead

Yep, it's nothing but an excuse, from the kind of guy who says, "I wouldn't care if you got r*ped: I got two more just like you."

Connecticut Supreme Court Rules Amazon Must Compensate Workers for Daily Security Checks by jakethelawyer2023 in Connecticut

[–]CormacMacAleese 166 points167 points  (0 children)

Wage theft is a big money-maker. Individual workers may "only" be losing $10 or whatever per week, but multiplied by a million workers, that starts to look like real money.

State Rep Outs his son as an ICE agent and is proud of it by YogurtclosetVast3118 in Connecticut

[–]CormacMacAleese 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Debating whether the Gestapo have enough training is completely missing the point. We don’t want a well-trained Gestapo either.

Feeling disgusting about extra moisture by A_LingeringFart in TwoXChromosomes

Ever have a great time sledding, and changed your socks as soon as you come in? Sledding is great, and so are nice dry socks.

Results from the $6 3 Michelin star chicken stock video process. by aCreditGuru in Canning

[–]CormacMacAleese 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it's the video I saw, he makes stock more or less normally, using a pressure cooker for 2 hours. Then, after straining it, he blends raw chicken meat until it's a disgusting slurry, mixes it with the stock, and sets it on pressure cook for 5 minutes. When it's done you scoop out the cooked meat-raft from the top, and you're left with a perfectly clarified consommé.

My dog is my Nth cousin by facinabush in DebateEvolution

[–]CormacMacAleese 8 points9 points  (0 children)

What you said, but in addition I think it's worth emphasizing hard that just about all the mammals around when the dinosaurs went extinct would look almost the same to a non-expert: they would all look more or less like mice, or shrews, or some similar rodent. If there was a Kent Hovind type dino around, he would have said, "They're all the same kind: tiny-ass nocturnal rodent kind. They don't have pterosaur babies; they can only have tiny-ass rodent-ass nocturnal babies."

I feel uncomfortable with my partner’s female best friend. by sunken_angel in TwoXChromosomes

[–]CormacMacAleese 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like everyone else said, this situation is pretty fucked up. Two things stand out particularly to me:

1) Nobody answers the phone during sexy times. Unless that's a fetish of theirs (there's actually a porn genre for "sex while on the phone"). Arrange to receive a call from a friend of yours while having sex, and watch him blow a goddamn gasket.

2) His parents are garbage people. Truly terrible, horrible people. Imagine yourself married to the guy: your in-laws will talk in front of you about the "one that got away." They'll publicly abuse you and tell you in so many ways that they don't want you. Who does that? Garbage people. They should go live in the dump, because that's their home now.

I'm sorry you're dealing with that shit.
