  • My business just had two meeting recently, one was about “the seriousness of unionization”, and the second was regarding a potential shift change because they are unable to fill 20+ positions and people keep leaving.

    I would like to preface the seriousness of this with some historical facts about the business: they on average used to pay $12-$15 over competitors (now equal to or even less than), they used to offer pensions (Not any more), they used to have a call list of over 200 applicants (for decades) of whom they could call up and offer a job and those people would quit and jump on board (they can’t hire from anywhere in the country or Puerto Rico with relocation bonuses included). And the average length of a workers term was 28 years (now just under 5).




  • I suppose it really depends on why I’m the last person on earth. If it was nuclear fallout, I’d probably be dead pretty quick.

    If we’re under the assumption that everybody just poofed away and I’m the last person, absolutely a few months minimum. I’m within easy walking distance of some stores that have plethora of canned and preserved foods and liquids. I also know some places that already have full solar infrastructure already integrated.

    All that being said, I’d probably off myself. I’m fairly non-social to begin with but I’d still be unhappy never being able to communicate with anyone ever again on top of major resource struggles in the future. Never find a partner, probably not even a domesticated pet as they’d all likely die within a week or so if I don’t prioritize that. Sounds incredibly sad and lonely


  • I’m quite frugal, I also moved a ton as a child so my parents kept the amount of my belongings to a minimum. Because of this is often don’t buy things, maybe even when I should. I usually opt for repair or reservice.

    I have a hard time spending any money on myself, maybe even to a slightly unhealthy degree. For spending money on others its usually not an issue. Right now I just tell myself I spend nothing because I really really really want a house. Though it’s probably not super likely based in how the market has been trending




  • Like I said “or something to that affect”. I only know this because I was talking with someone who was in the Philippines who told me they made US minimum because of aforementioned law. I personally never dug into it but something to that affect exists (assuming the person wasn’t lying, which they had no reason to)

    I would also present the possibility that companies, parent companies and sub companies don’t all work as US companies even if they are present majoritively for sale purposes in the US. As well as a parent, sub, or affiliated companies can all be based outof different places even if the others are not.

    Apple is a great example where they have all their patents and ownerships based out of a company in a small country around south america (I forget the actual name) and Apple the parent company actually “purchases” licenses to their own products for tax reasons. Even though they are all under the same umbrella more or less



  • I learned Something interesting recently that might have to do with minimum wage increases. Companies that are American companies but hire outside of the US still have to pay US minimum wage as a minimum (or something to that affect). So if you have A ton of people working in the phillipenes for instance, you can’t go lower than $7.25 if you increase minimum wage you increase it for all those outsourcing company’s employees making product way way more expensive and throwing off the local economy with much more money influx.

    Am I saying increasing the minimum wage is wrong? No, I wholly support it. But that might be a reason as to why.


  • As a serious note though, on a micro enough scale, everything will become bumpy/not a single linear thing. On a macro enough scale it would be impossible to determine variation and appear flat.

    In a common human sense, many things are flat and linear to normal human perception. Many crystal and metal formations have flat, straight, and sharp features.

    And something theorized to be existing and straight would be (iirc) the planck length. Light so energized that the wave becomes essentially linear (please verify because this is memory only)


  • Okay! Can do!

    Defnitions: Flat (adjective), My chest. Example My chest was flatter than an angle measured at 180°

    Straight (adjective) anything that has perfect parallelism to my chest. (See notes)

    Notes (Straight): Straight cannot be used as an adjective to describe my sexuality.

  • Hmmm, I’d say I always IRL and online Try to be a decent person so by that, never. However there are plenty of things I say to create a persona online simply because it’s fun, goofy and harmless. If I’m feeling goofy or want to commit to a bit, such as my earlier comments on this profile fitting in bugles anywhere I could because I thought of a funny username.

    Is that misrepresenting myself? Probably by technicality. Although I can be goofy IRL too so bit of yes, bit of no, depending on how close you wanna define it
