I already quit one job for that reason and refused to take a drug test for another job for the same reason (lol they decided they needed me enough to waive the drug test).

Everything I like has more than 5 ingredients if you count seasonings. Might as well heat up soup.

Maybe it's a delusion you create because you know you're outside. Because a mind is a terrible thing.

I pronounce it like sen + tar, and accent it like boxcar. Can't think of a reason, that's just how it looks to me.

I'm a programmer and my answer would be more like the tester's answer.

But okay I also used to be a tester so this comment is probably invalid.

No, it was just the convention of putting (nsfw) after a link to avoid getting banned, except that specific abbreviation didn't seem like the right one.

Also there are so many satirical sites now, you can't just look for Onion on the link anymore.

Moving to 32 hrs on paper and really expecting 60, instead of 40 on paper and really expecting 60.That's a bold move, Cotton.

It's a quote from the movie Blazing Saddles mocking bigotry, in this case to say "Suppression is bad unless WE do it" is s hypocritical and wrong approach - and in fact it's the exact mentality of people who currently want to suppress gay, trans, etc. which to them are as "obviously evil" as nazis.

I agree people do a hell of a lot of unnecessary travel, but transportation engineers didn't build all that infrastructure to fool people into traveling more, they did it because people were traveling more. Like most things, it was about the things, not about you at all.

 

Seems to go way back to the B&W movie era - men in tuxedos, women in evening gowns and boas - glamorous socialites dressed to the nines, watching a couple buys beat each other up. Sometimes the MC is in a tux. I don't get how that whole package goes together.

 

American here. Granted, the tea stands on its own merit. But if not for TNG I probably would still be drinking standard Lipton like my parents did.

 

[SOLVED] - thanks to !DABDA@lemmy.dbzer0.com

When I was using Windows, by holding down the Alt key I could highlight words in the text of a link the same way as in normal text, and then press Ctrl-C to copy.

On Mint, holding down the Alt key puts the cursor in a repositioning mode (a cross made of arrows) that drags the current window around. This happens identically in Chrome and Firefox.

How do you copy some words from link text?

 

All the stories on the FP are about labor relations and corporate shenanigans. So anyway, do you like Star Trek or Star Wars better? Anybody still ike to read old school sci fi, for example I really love Poul Anderson's Polesotechnic League stories - the swashbuckling adventures of intersteller trador Nicholas van Rijn and his Solar Spice and Liquors company, David Falkayne, et al. Good old basic space opera.

 

Nothing more to it - I just love pizza
