Looked to me like an attempt to pull off an in-line bulleted list.

Shot in officer involved shooting?

Shot by a police officer.

Why the duck are they making a MTG movie instead of Transformers One 2?

As I understand it, these sweatshop jobs do resist the standard of living in the areas they are in. The people there don't have the option to work a job that we would consider good. They work the job we consider terrible, and they get paid more than they would doing other jobs.

To make a moral judgement, we must balance between "terrible working conditions, no protections, maximum wealth extraction," on the one hand, and "no infrastructure, no job, no money" on the other. Sadly, there is no profit in making the world better for everyone.

No, unacceptable.

Undo, undo!

Are you using the US or China as your "here?" Because I don't think it's quite that bad in the US, but I don't think anyone blames the voters in China.

I think it refers to being being out at work, or at a major event.

If I shit myself at work, I'm going home. I'm not coming back, either.

If I'm out hiking, same again.

If i'm running errands, I might have to go back out to finish them. The groceries aren't gonna buy themselves, and now I really have to do the laundry.

Right. They are just gonna let anyone sell anything.

My wife is artsy, and I'm sciency. Maybe we can go into snake oil.

Ah, you forget the alternative. Instead of quicker review, we could just reduce oversight, and remove safety regulations.

[–] SaltSong@startrek.website 1 points 1 month ago

Agreed, but that was kind of the premise of the discussion, I think.

Unless you have a keylogger installed.

To a certain extent, yes.

I used to do a dirty job. I spent most days trying hard to minimize the amount of grime I got on my hands. Some days it got past the wrist, despite my best efforts, and at that point, I would just give up and dive in.
