TLDR-

North Korea sends troops to Ukraine to fight/die for Russia. Tells them that if they are captured then they must commit suicide or be labeled a traitor. Some soldiers fail to properly kill themselves and are captured.

The question now is what to do with them. If they return them to NK then they will probably be tortured and executed, if they grant them asylum in Ukraine or South Korea then NK may use that as an excuse to increase hostility. Geneva convention requires that they return them to NK.

The best is when you send an email and they reply in a chat or don’t reply all. Makes my spidey sense tingle

I always send meeting minutes so I can remember what we talked about and to prove that expectations were clearly communicated or an email to prove that I communicated that there’s a serious issue and forces someone to acknowledge it.

*Has tanked the economy

Now he’s trying to prove that his supporters can turn against him and they still can’t touch him.

Blue collar (blue coveralls class) is just a derogatory term to describe someone that doesn’t wear a white collar (business suit class) to work. But it sorta turned into a badge of honor by the blue collar class over the years, but it’s meant to be an insult by the white color class.

It has nothing to do with skilled or non-skilled labor or education, it’s supposed to be an insult based on the clothes required to wear to work.

Yeah you’d probably have a bad day in America too. I think the person asking the question just doesn’t know what blue collar or skilled labor means.

But does it require skill to do the job or does skill just make a person better at the job?

A plumber can’t be a plumber without years of training and experience. There is no apprentice dishwasher or master dishwasher, just about anyone with two hands and willing to stand in one place for hours can do the job. I washed dishes at a fast food deli for three months for a summer job in highschool. It’s thankless hard work but it was mindless work and required no skill, I washed dishes zoned out and on autopilot most of the time. I’m sure there are skilled dishwashers that can was them the fastest or cleanest, but washing dishes doesn’t require skill, it requires work ethic, it requires completing the task of washing the dishes. There’s no 100 other tasks required to do or learn before becoming a dishwasher.

If any functioning human can walk in and do the job then it’s not “skilled” labor. Having a good work ethic doesn’t equal skilled labor.

“Skilled” labor is someone that spent years honing their craft and making a complicated “job” look like a simple effortless task because they spent years learning how to do it and perfecting it, hours of prep and planning. That’s is “skilled” labor.

Little addictions.

Addiction is a real problem and incredibly hard to diagnose. I’m not talking about drugs, I’m talking about those little additions that subtly sublimely control nearly every decision in your life. Addiction to caffeine, sugar, social media, TV, driving too fast, being an asshole, being a complainer, etc.

There’s a lot of reasons why we do what we do or why we think we do them but for the most part it’s about chasing those bits of dopamine. But chasing them can lead to some very destructive behaviors.

Better.

I have a good paying job, wife, not addicted to drugs, own my house, own 2 cars, have 2 kids, 2 dogs, 1 cat, 4 ducks, I don’t weigh 300lbs, saving for retirement, living within my means, and everyone is mostly healthy.

I just hope my government doesn’t screw it up for me and my kids.

Fuel with ethanol will go bad if it sits stagnant for a long period of time. As long as you are driving the car around or using fuel stabilizer, it should be fine.

Based on my interpretation of the article the Porsche plug in was so bad that it skewed the study, it used 85% more fuel than all of the other cars in the study. But it doesn’t surprise me, it’s not the first time Porsche (Volkswagen) wasn’t very trustworthy with their fuel stats in recent years. Something else was that the less expensive the car, the better it was on fuel economy, seems logical once you think about it. The more sensible the car the more likely that buyer is to be concerned with those types of stats.

That sounds incredibly boring and dangerous at the same time

Did they tho? I bet the cost went to the employees somehow, like lower wages or layoffs or less benefits. Those companies probably reported increased revenue too.

So applicants are being sorted by browser? How does that indicate adaptability? So if they use Netscape are they too old or too stubborn or too niche for the job? I use Chrome at work and another browser at home, does that mean I get moved to the top of the application list?

I would think some more interesting data points would be what OS were they on or how quickly and accurately they filled out the application or if their resume rambles on with no substance or if they haphazardly used buzz words or look for signs that they didn’t create their own resume.

That’s ridiculous and doesn’t suggest anything other than that’s their preferred browser. That’s just data to be collected for statistics and shouldn’t even be relevant. I’m interviewing the person, not their data, their data could influence if they get an interview if there’s actually something interesting in the data, but the browser just seems very odd thing to focus on.

It’s worse than you think, AI did the screening interview. I would have run from this company, if they’re willing to use AI to conduct an interview then they are going to treat you like crap if they hire you. They basically just let you know that you weren’t even worth interacting with by a human. Screw that place.

I’m 99% sure that antivaxers are people that started out just using it as an excuse to not get a shot then it snow balls into conspiracy theories

Knowing Trump he will try to file bankruptcy

Pretty sure I could out smart Trump, he’s not known for his intelligence

Are those rhetorical questions?

Not that I’m aware of and duh

So your argument is that you can’t have a utopia if you can inherit your parents belongings?

I would also argue that the accumulation of goods and hoarding resources would not be tolerated. So if you’re rich before the fall you’re probably not now. But my assumption is that if you can justify owning lots of land by something other than greed then you probably won’t keep/get it.

Yes land would be a finite resource and would be closely regulated.

Star Trek is a dream that will never come true because it assumes that all humans would be rational and reasonable. That’s just inconceivable.
