I feel mean, but at first I thought it was subtle CGI to indicate mutation over generations due to radiation living in the vaults.

Hope she never reads this comment. She is very good looking, just has comically large eyes.

British one a couple years back.

In Australia we got an extra public holiday. That was nice.

It might not be legal, but it’s already morally acceptable to shoplift from Coles and Woolworths

I just don’t because it would be a massive pain if I were to be caught

This is so fucking stupid. I’ve worked in hospitality, saying please and thank you just comes with the territory no one needs to be checking if you do it.

In a cafe that’s the whole service (in my country at least): being friendly to people, and providing a nice place to hang out and have a coffee, the actual beverage is secondary.

Saying please and thank you is such base politeness. You can easily be rude or cold even when you do use them, and conversely, be absolutely lovely without using them at all.

People don’t go to burger king for the pleasantries, the amount of politeness you should expect is the same as anyone else walking down the street.

Policing politeness with technology is stupid. People should ask each other how they’re going genuinely. Not from a place of corporate greed.

Fuck this capitalist dystopia.

The American “centre” seems brain-dead to me as a foreigner (well the left is already not very left) because how the fuck can they consider calling these people fascists hysterical, when they clearly are fascists?

They have so many nukes, and we’re their vassals (Australia).

Gods help us all.

lol serves its own grammatical function now I reckon.

It’s a marker for response to irony (actual irony, Americans…), or as a way to indicate you think something is stupid to the point of humour, or as a kind of “that tracks”.

Or at least, that’s how it’s used amongst people my age in Australia.

I don’t think I use it in a positive sense at all any more

This is a great propaganda* image. Yoink ⚒️

* word used in the neural sense

The general strike in Minneapolis shows what the working class can achieve.

From the provinces (Australia), I suggest you join whatever local movements exist.

I’m wishing you great success, because I worry what will be in store for us if the US falls even further into racism.

Stay strong friend

Oh yeah, no issue with how you’ve used it. I’m just publically grumbling about the term’s existence haha

employee-owned

is such a euphemism, in my opinion. Law firms are often “employee-owned”.

It has internal shareholders, they’re not a co-op, and should be viewed like any other for profit business.

Is the Sabbath Sunday? I thought it was Saturday. But regardless, some countries start the week on Sunday.

It’s cursed as heck when we call Saturday and Sunday the weekend.

2015 can be written as Y-2.015E3S4

When would this ever be required, wtf hahaha

I routinely do this in emails and documents. No one has ever questioned me on it because they’re used to it from folder/file names.

Please do join me in slowly changing the world over to year, month, day order.

(Though I prefer the non-standard dots instead of hyphens, as they are non-line-breaking, and allows for hyphens to be used as separators for other parts in a file along with underscores)

YYYY.MM.DD is my fave

I’m glad this meme is known internationally

Is it? Seemed like a dig specifically at the fact that China doesn’t have a true union movement. Not a dog at communism in general.

China isn’t communist, nor very socialist, for that matter.

Capitalism with Chinese characteristics seems more of an apt description.

Pointing out that China is a dictatorship doesn’t mean that socialism is bad.

My least favourite argument is them pointing to the reduction in poverty.

Like, I could say the same for capitalism. Which I won’t because capitalism needs to be abolished, but just “there was a massive reduction in poverty therefore system good” is stupid.

Tankies aren’t socialists in my eyes because socialism necessarily needs to be democratic control by the people.

Fault based divorce is already a stupid concept (under the law).

Someone MAY be at fault, but you should never need to provide a reason beyond “I don’t want to anymore” to commence divorce proceedings.

Marriage is just legal protections for the partners in the event of a separation (i.e. rights to split assets and whatnot).

But it’s still entirely voluntary.

Well, in nice countries anyway.

Apparently not liking capitalism lumps you in with the tankies.

Do you even know what tankie means?

I’m also confused about this post’s hate of trains.
