I got threatened with an NDA once after a freelancing job went bad and I was like, “You mean the one you told me you’d send 4 months ago but never did? Hmm yeah just pay me the money you owe me and we don’t have to talk any more.”

I got the money, but fuck them.

Rather be Russian than Democrat?

Ok then get going 🤷‍♂️

My work is always doing Starbucks runs. I hate it because they won’t get me a fucking sandwich. “We only do coffees.” I drink my coffee black, which is usually on site. That shit’s not even coffee.

Enh. I’m still using my 2018 Mac Mini with 8 gigs just fine.

I’ve been waiting til 16 became the base to upgrade. Maybe this is the year!

I’m sure the post tax income will still be enough to soak up the tears.

Fuck em.

Same. I played the first one and it was ok.

I dunno I find these games are always the same and there’s no point in playing every release.

Years ago I told myself I’d play every 3rd COD game because of this, but haven’t played one since the 360.

Sure, but is people making over $14m/year paying more taxes really a bad thing?

I mean you do have options. We have the labour board here in Canada.

You don’t tell your employer you’re talking to them. You let them contact the employer. They can’t fire you while an investigation is ongoing.

This is why you don’t ask.

Also, you don’t really need a whole day. I’m also Canadian. Employers are required to allow you time to do it, not an entire day.

I would phrase the question like this: “I need to take time to go vote. Would you prefer I take the morning or afternoon off?”

If they so no to both, you say “you know it’s illegal not to allow me time off to vote, right?”

I’ve changed careers since the last election, but as a driver I’d just say “I’m going to swing by the polling place in my way to or back from wherever” and it was never a problem.

I agree.

Thanks for the weed, Trudeau. You were an ok PM but it’s time to move on.

Maybe the next guy will fulfill your promise of election reform.

I agree. Cargo pants are out though.

If it’s hot enough I need shorts, I don’t need a jacket either, but I still need pockets!

If it’s cold enough to need pants, I’m at least bringing a jacket anyway.

Interesting. Sounds nice.

 

Is anyone surprised that after they got them to close by the shiny new arena that they’re now trying to back out of their deal?

 

I'm a school bus driver myself. I'll tell you the issue is that they're short drivers because they pay peanuts. The buses are coming that late because drivers are doing routes after their first routes. All the school bus companies somehow pay the exact same rates. There is no competition between them, but "they're trying everything."

 

Yeah that’s all. I appreciate that we can see it on usernames now, but I’d like to see it for communities as well.

Thanks Lemmy devs!
