“Our main story tonight is about a 100 year old woman who says her secret to old age is walking around barefoot and never brushing her teeth. More news on this super calloused fragile mistress hexed with halitosis after the break.”
Get busy walking or get busy dying. #volkswalk
People also just get confused by terminology and the mechanics and do it on accident, though much less common if state isn’t including it on voter reg for sure.
The genesis of this post was a family member in a very blue state, who went to an ivy league school and is extremely progressive and was sick of blue/red and googled “independent party” in her state and when I sent her the party platform she was registered for she lost her mind.
I’m in Oregon and it’s on the voter registration form, not required, but a big drop down with party name and no other info. Oregon is hardly red.
Picked some random states, they’re all different which is also part of the confusion when citizens move. They may not record it for the state but can those in the state still register or join a party on their own? Issue would still exist if so.
LMAO, you should sell a “catharsis calendar” marketed to grocery checkouts, with one of these shorts for each day of the year. You could retire.
Just remember to come back and take care of me, k?
Thanks to massive lobbying, and this won’t surprise anyone on Lemmy, but cosmetics as a whole have no regulatory oversight mechanism. The FDA can recommend things and it’s up to corporations to self-regulate, which usually works well with no significant fines to deter bad actors.
Don’t let your kids use anything.
Also, you can’t vote in many regressive, discriminatory states but they’d like up in their Klan hoods to vote this felon into office as there is no restriction on becoming president. Rules for thee
That is like the footnote of what reddit did. I don’t want them to live rent free or anything but that’s like saying JFK died from the inertia of metallic elements.
You need to chat with Adrian Wapcaplett, he’s a partner at a marketing firm that can sell just about anything.
Watching TV and forgetting to process thoughts through a lens of reality and social appropriateness before opening one’s piehole.
HR is a funny one; if you know what you’re talking about about and can speak to different audiences at their level it’s not generally push back from a professional knowledge point–pushback for HR is usually “yeah but that is hard/not what I want” which is very different and totally fine.
Except fucking compensation. Glassdoor is the WebMD bane of comp conversations with employees. It’s a selection-bias informed group of people who provide salaries when they think they’re underpaid and need validation. While, for the most part we’re all underpaid, just like WebMD, the dangerous oversimplification of very nuanced and complex data is nothing but a PITA to people trying to to fix or work in good systems.
“I saw my job is being hired for $xx,xxx I should be getting that”. Location, industry, industry segment, education, KSA, org size, high variance in titles from one company to the next(manager here is VP there), every other pay/bonus/benefit/time off difference, internal pay equity considerations that are often statutory by state/feds–none is captured and people aren’t taught that those are part of comp. Just this title is $xx,xxx. The worst part is that managers run to HR with often this info directly supplied by candidates or their own employees all worked up HR is fucking them by underpaying. I’m the first person to tell a manager their comp is fucked against a market if it is, which helps build trust but it’s exhausting.
This plays out in every job offer, promotion, annual merit increase and any time you remind people they’re not coming to work for free.
Again, almost never see this in other areas if you know what the hell you’re doing in HR, but I guess the incentive and stakes are high enough in comp to make people just go off the deep end.
Shouldn’t the delivery be “bagels”?
Once you understand the major forces and their interests, there is little reason to follow day to say, it’s just poisonous.
I have only signed through it and got the notice. I didn’t have any info in my profile that would have been visible, assuming DB itself wasn’t breached so seems ok for me personally but just another brick in the wall.
It’s just a relief that competition is so healthy I’m the market, anti-consumer practices like denying a paid service and not fixing it because you know you don’t have a regulator, are just forced out of businesses.
Lost internet from a different ISP for a week in Jan, escalated through every channel possible including local, state, fcc, Cfpb, DOJ consumer division, PUC…in the end the company fixed it exactly when they wanted, which took 5 minutes. Internet is more important than water in 2024, it can’t be optional to provide.
Net neutrality is nice, but we also need service regulation with minimum standards. Presidential election this year will be huge to determine if FCC immediately defended by Trump or allowed to continue pushing back against telecom lobby
Ornithologists for those looking for the word, which I confused for a long time with opthalmology.
