I'm watching leftist subs already get filled up with Russian propaganda about the election being stolen. It's depressing. They're doing the same shit to us as they did to the right in 2020 and we're falling for it.

I'm involved in the manufacturing sector. At recent trade shows, we've been hearing that a lot of companies were holding off on making decisions about purchasing goods and machinery until after the election, though no one was saying much specifically about what each candidate would mean for their decisions. This article seems to say the outlook isn't super rosy and his initiatives don't make a ton of sense.

Ok Russian shill account.

Thanks electing Trump, Uncommitteds. Enjoy watching Gaza burn and Ukraine turn into Russia.

Love my bumbles. They're sweet little derps. The native milkweed in my garden came through strong this year and I made sure to spread the seeds nearby so next year is even better for them.

Is he the idiot who demands you only pay for things in cash and store it in labeled envelopes?

Sometimes when I have to answer a call from an unknown number, I'll pick up but won't say anything. A human will say something when they hear it stop ringing, but most bots listen for voice activity before they start their recording so they'll just stay silent as long as you do.

Arbitration is overwhelmingly resolved in favor of corporations. The company pays the arbitrator, which means they will generally rule in their favor if they want to continue to be hired. Complainants get a fraction of the amount of money they'd get from a court case from arbitration, and it keeps the public from knowing what the company did. That's why so many companies are trying to force arbitration clauses on consumers.

It's speculated that the reason why Steam backed down from their clause in this case is that it was getting too expensive for them. Paying so many individual arbitrators and lawyers was costing them way more than resolving a single class action lawsuit. Hopefully more companies are forced to come to this realization in the future.

Edit: Article about why they may have removed the clause TL;DR Valve doesn't want to deal with 50,000 separate court cases at one time

The only reason I knew peanuts could be bad for your kidneys is watching Dr. Glaucomflecken and seeing his sketch of the nephrologist at Halloween. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IAghdVqVJUg

You have fallen through reality into the Trekrooms.

Pumping room? You mean the closet with the free yummy milk?

I'm not vegan but I eat plenty of incidentally vegan meals, and all of the best ones have been the ones that weren't trying to imitate another food. They just can't get the texture right and I'd rather not eat some squishy disc of beans and wheat while trying to convince myself it's a burger. It's not. I know it's not and pretending doesn't make it any more of one. Give me a good soup or curry or pasta dish instead.
