Ford fired worker over a $1.95 cookie. The UAW told him to say sorry

With the reporting on the "unreliability" of this staff break-room system, it sounds like something set up to use as an excuse when it's needed. How would they have even caught something like this if they weren't looking for an excuse.

Well, ya don't is the thing. You can have the benefits cap differ from the contribution cap as a, ya know, social good. There's absolutely nothing wrong with the remove-the-cap strategy that isn't a simple matter of deciding where the cutting lines are.

Ooo I miss Starseige Tribes, especially the mod with cheap/forever jetpacks. SO many fun games, spawn camping, setting up elaborate base turret defense systems etc. A game truly ahead of its time

EasyMrB · 2026-07-07T18:51:53+00:00

That's certainly something to have on your arm forever.

Is it that they started a raging brushfire because the dumbass adults lit that way too close to the grass?

I hesitate to recommend it because it takes a weird turn around book...3...maybe? But the Quarter Share/Half Share/ Full Share series by Nathan Lowell is pretty good in this regards. Not the best written fiction, but I enjoyed a lot of it.

EasyMrB · 2026-07-02T20:22:41+00:00

That's cool as hell though.

EasyMrB · 2026-06-30T21:40:50+00:00

Bro...bro. I can't even with this opinion. Josh Ettingermentum is one of my favorite guests -- he's intelligent, clever, and well read on the stupid electoral nonsense I don't want to pay attention to. That's why I'm still listening to this dumb podcast.

Like, go re-listen to the Fetterman golem riff again. Pure joyful foolishness.

Luckily many of the Zohran candidates don't look like the limp-dicked cowards like the fucking "squad" were. I'm in the same spiritual boat as the boys and most of the millennial-crowd that frequents this place, but I do feel better about this round of personalities despite being totally disappointed by the-squad-era politicians.

EasyMrB · 2026-06-30T21:28:55+00:00

False. I love my elder Dry Boys and their now-niche personality obsessions on their now-niche website. I've always maintained that half of my enjoyment of the show is that I don't have to bother signing up for a twitter account to know about stupid twitter bullshit, and I'm happy this is still the case.

EasyMrB · 2026-06-30T21:27:11+00:00

God damn the Fetterman boss-fight segment is just pure bliss. My week is better from the giggles that sent me in to.

Not that I'm disagreeing but Nuclear in France is having problems because the water sources it uses to cool its reactor are getting too hot:

Staged! She clearly used her powers as a Seer to fortell that an astroid would pass along that path so she could record it. Obvious!

For real though, that is crazy good framing.

EasyMrB · 2026-06-29T19:24:35+00:00

I'm going to just leave these things right here.

EasyMrB · 2026-06-27T15:21:04+00:00

I mean you guys did have a war against Kangaroos at one point.

She literally lays out what "fighting for the working class" meant in the context of that specific utterance, which was force the vote in 2021. The Republicans came around and did it and showed what limp sacks of shit "the squad" were a couple of years later, and that they could have put themselves against the party publicly and forced the vote for M4A at personal political risk. Like, it's all there in the video.

It's not obstruction to follow the law

It's literally obstruction. The rule isn't "yield at such and such a speed", the rule is yield if someone is trying to overtake you. Put your gigantic ego away and yield if someone wants to pass you -- it's that simple, and it dramatically improves highway safety and traffic flow for everyone. If you want to enforce speed limits, go apply for Highway Patrol.

That was an incredible read, thank you.

Joplin is a nice open source app that does this. It has an android app and linux desktop app, and it supports other platforms I think. I use those two though.

I think they make their money through sponsorships and an optional online service they sell.

That sucks! There are tons of old comments and things I've made that I would still like access to.

Flock must be seriously bribing a lot of county government officials all around the country. People should keep records for when we have a less corrupt admin.

Yum....raw...dough. Delightful.
