This is a bit more insidious than it appears- because it's asking kids to rat out atheists to religious officials.

There are absolutely areas in the US where being discovered as an atheist will ruin your life.

Theoretically, yes. Realistically, if anyone tried, there would be a long line of people wanting to talk with that person that tried to deny sick leave, and the first ones in line would be HR.

Vacation is more likely to be denied, but I've never had it happen and have never denied any myself.

That's called a death panel. We shouldn't have those, and insurance companies DEFINITELY shouldn't have those.

Yep. Public sector is where it's at, from an American point of view. Still shit compared to Europe, but for US? It's fucking great.

I earn 180 hours/year (four and a half weeks/year) in vacation, can carry 250 hours of vacation (6 weeks and 1 day) over to the next year, and I get 3 weeks paid sick leave/year with infinite carryover. Finally, 11 holidays.

I've also never had a vacation or sick leave day denied, but that's more because of the people I work with, not the company policy.

It's because Epic Games is spending a shitload of money astroturfing these idiots into believing that Valve is personally running a massive counter strike casino and you need to THINK OF THE CHIILLLLDREEEEEEEN.

If you think Mozilla is the canonical of browsers, you've been consuming too much of Google's anti-mozilla propaganda after they announced v3 manifest.

Of course not, active servicepeople are just another currency to the military-industrial complex.

If you've noticed, they're doing everything they can to make him look less attractive. Shitty aspect ratios, bad white balance, editing the picture, terrible focal lengths....

They're scared. It's hilarious, because they're so blatantly obviously scared.

A billionaire spending a quarter of a billion dollars to ensure people vote for trump?

Trump got elected because the richest man in the world spent a quarter of a billion dollars on his campaign, and that has tangible results.

Apparently some corporate dick sucker scrapes the public feeds for the bikes and volunteered the information for the likely bike pretty much immediately.
