Software dev company, we always had booze of various sorts in the fridge. Nice snacks too. Grabbing a couple or three beers at noon would be frowned on however.

“Officers were able to determine that Allexis had smashed the cat’s head with her foot and then began to eat the cat. I did observe blood on Allexis' feet, hands, and fur on her lips,” said an officer’s report.

Once again, the mentally ill remanded to the prison complex.

Leading up to the abortion turnover the Court made loads of "liberal" decisions. I bookmarked them to track. After, yeah, not so much. TBH, I quit tracking so not sure what's happened since.

Reminds me of the Delorean in the 80s, even has several of the same issues. Expect it to be a super-cool retro thing in 20-years, kinda like the El Camino (which I would kill for).

No, they would not have jobs at all. With the extra supervision and care required, I seriously doubt these companies are saving money, and in fact are probably paying more than minimum wage at the end of the day.

I'm guessing it's more of a "put people to work so they can feel productive and good about themselves" rather than "evil capitalist plot".

OTOH, for all lemmy harps about the minimum wage, almost no one gets paid that.

The percentage of hourly paid workers earning the prevailing federal minimum wage or less edged down from 1.3 percent in 2022 to 1.1 percent in 2023. This remains well below the percentage of 13.4 recorded in 1979, when data were first collected on a regular basis.

So maybe paying them minimum wage wouldn't make a difference?

Can we bring that back? I already have the tortoise shell wayfarers and my wife would soak herself if I wore a white blazer and white pants.

Well, yeah.

Droit du seigneur comes to mind.

Y'all that think 2024 is a fucked up time really should have paid attention in history class and done some of your own reading.

Nailed it! Also, didn't the SEC basically force him to buy it after running his mouth off?

I am stunned this comic is still around. It would be like finding out Liberace was still alive.

Fauci angrily denied covering up the origins of Covid-19 before the panel in June, arguing that it would be "molecularly impossible" for the bat viruses studied at the lab to be turned into the virus that caused the pandemic.

All I need to hear. The United State top expert on infectious disease has spoken. I'd like to know more about the "impossible" bit, but it would quickly go over my head.

"the smell of wine and cheap perfume" gets me hard. Add in a hint of tobacco and I'm mad horny. They should sell this to women.
