The fact that drug tests are normalized for jobs is fucking insane

and no one irl even has the decency to agree with me because it’s so fucking drilled into the culture that these fucking BuNsInNesSes have a Right to do this because it’s a bSUsniEss. like oh yeah they have an office building so they definitely get to analyze my piss because they say they want to. sick fucking freaks....

torknorggren,

That’s usually about health insurance. Keeps their premiums down if they offer health as a benefit. Doesn’t make it right, but it is not a morality thing on the firm’s part.

torknorggren,

Hey, man, there’s a couple blue islands down here. At least give us a heads-up before this nuking business.

torknorggren,

Neither does protectionism. I’m not saying you’re wrong, but isi policies that make imports expensive also hurt the working class. Overall free trade might be fine if it’s combined with a more robust welfare state.

torknorggren,

I’ve heard soccer’s pretty bad with it too. Maybe badminton is the answer.

San Francisco homeless sweep was cheered on by the right. It was also illegal (www.vice.com)

Hundreds of unsheltered people living in tent encampments in the blocks surrounding the Moscone Convention Center in San Francisco have been forced to leave by city outreach workers and police as part of an attempted “clean up the house” ahead of this week’s Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation’s annual free trade...

torknorggren,

7754 is the PIT count of people homeless at one given point in time. Many, many more cycle through homelessness in any year.

torknorggren,

The media is avoiding it…like all the media cited in this post? Or the NY Times article today discussing many of the points in those articles? Or the OP article? I’m so tired of news outlets reporting on news outlets. The news isn’t news, I want actual news about events.

‘Trump Is Again Confused’: Trump Mixes Up Who Is President During Speech (www.mediaite.com)

But the head of Hungary. Very tough, strong guy. Viktor Orban, did anybody ever hear him? Probably, you know, considered very powerful, very powerful within his country and outside of his country, not exactly loved by some of the European nations, because he does this thing. He didn’t allow millions of people to invade his...

torknorggren,

Almost 700 people have pleaded guilty or have been convicted for j6. Some of the leaders, like Tarrio, are going away for a very long time. Of course it takes a long time to bring a case against Trump himself, but the narrative that nobody’s facing consequences is a little disingenuous at this point. www.justice.gov/…/30-months-jan-6-attack-capitol

Alleged pickleball masturbator nabbed after Columbia Pike peeping incident (www.arlnow.com)

A man whose stroke on the pickleball court was most unwelcome has allegedly been identified and arrested. Police say a 49-year-old Arlington resident was taken into custody Monday after a peeping incident along Columbia Pike Friday night. Just before 7 p.m. Friday, according to Arlington County police, the man was spotted...

torknorggren,

WTF is life coaching? Have a facebook acquaintance who did some class and calls herself one, after being a yoga instructor. Like–why would you take advice from a person of middling success? Is it just another MLM where people calling themselves life coaches teach other people to be life coaches so they can teach more life coaches?

torknorggren,

Site exists, but it’s part of the schtick. It’s Alan Wagner, @truewagner on insta.

torknorggren,

I would have guessed obd port, but it doesn’t look like any I’ve seen. What make/model?

torknorggren,

He never had to take the stand in the first >place. He didn’t even have to be in the courtroom.

I thought he did have to take the stand, but didn’t have to be there for the rest of the trial. AFAIK he’s compelled to testify (or take the fifth, but he and the kids have to do one or the other).

torknorggren,

Seriously though, why did Jesus curse that fig tree? He could be weirdly petty.

BTW, myrrh had lots of uses besides embalming.

Developing countries owe China at least $1.1 trillion – and the debts are due (edition.cnn.com)

Developing countries owe Chinese lenders at least $1.1 trillion, according to a new data analysis published Monday, which says more than half of the thousands of loans China has doled out over two decades are due as many borrowers struggle financially....

torknorggren,

What happens if countries just default? Do non-Chinese lenders care? Does it trash bond ratings across the board?

torknorggren,

Oof. I wonder how that will work in the case of infrastructure like roads and bridges–long term tolls? At some point it has to eat away at whatever good will the Chinese were trying to buy.

torknorggren,

I’m an old man, and do 5k a few times a week for context. Started doing a battery of dynamic stretches a few months back and I really love it. Gets me warm and adequately stretched, and I haven’t pulled anything since I started this instead of traditional stretching. Check out www.runnersworld.com/…/dynamic-warmup-stretches/

torknorggren,

I figured it out and it was still a huge disappointment. Only worse game was Journey: Escape.

torknorggren,

As much as I want to believe it, they’re quoting Norm Eisen and George Conway from cable news appearances. This is just clickbait.

torknorggren,

The absence of palm oil–or any cooking oil–is pretty dubious.
