I used to work at a really shitty metal factory as an engineer. I’d have to help get the lines going again after our weekly shutdown, and it was always a 24-30 hour work day, once per week. So 5 am until 5-10 am the next day. Very little for breaks (though they did feed us), almost never any sleep. That drive home after was harrowing. It probably would have been safer if I was drunk

For all my hard work and dedication I got rewarded with fucking nothing because that’s how capitalism works

USA’ian who lives in Denmark: let’s do this shit. It’d probably be a big QoL increase for a fair few people in CA

But the GDP per Capita is not insanely different, $85k vs 102k (source: wiki)

Ugh ever since they started charging extra for egirl bathwater (vegan) I have been going to BK

Roll tide?

Idk what the other dude is talking about. It definitely exists some places.

I was really expecting this to be a video too

Anyone have a link beyond the paywall?

Any examples of the things they accounted for? Just curious as someone who (no longer) lives there

I don’t think you’re a bad person, because you’re questioning this.

I will say, it’s weird that I’ve seen you and 1 other recent account that has a similar story, both of which are new and posting a lot about Russia. If you’re legit, I hope you can learn about your heritage and also unilaterally denounce what Russia/Putin is doing to Ukraine.

Interesting. I haven’t at all had the experience that saying that is detrimental to me social, from locals or foreigners

American, permanently live in Denmark

It can, but both my Fairphone and old pixel could have a physical sim and an eSIM. I daily drive both with my old US number and my current EU number. Can’t have two active eSIM cards at once though

I mean, I’ve certainly never seen it done

With lettuce but not with a sheep

Wow, this is so cool. I hadn’t heard of that, thanks for sharing

The term snake oil is actually especially fitting for this, due to its origins.

In Britain in the 1700s there was a somewhat common recommendation for using rattlesnake oil from the fat of the snake for skin diseases/rheumatism. The efficacy is debated but it’s got some amount of potential for change (if not help).

This turned into people in the US selling mineral oil as “snake oil” as a total panacea. So a product that actually could do stuff being used as the poster child for a completely useless product that can solve every issue ever, buy as much as you can today.

Snake oil indeed.
