Well, my friend, he’s kinda poor he can’t afford some books and some streaming services, so he pirates. He pirate books, audiobook and videos and other stuff. Sometimes he buys books he likes a lot out of loyalty to the author (yeah, I don’t understand it either), he likes to read physical books, but yeah, if he hates the...
So my philosophy is: If I couldn't pirate this, would I ignore it or buy it? If it's the latter I buy it, if it's the former I pirate it. Basically if the creator (or distributor or whatever) isn't gonna benefit either way might as well enjoy it. I also exclusively pirate anime because the way streaming currently works is a mess.
Uh... The railway union got their demands in the end. Biden just did it without paralyzing the economy. Quick reminder that strikes are a means (and not one you wanna use, at that), not an end.
So the best one I found was this, which is from back when the negotiations were still in progress but mostly done, but my understanding is that in the end the unions who it says are still negotiating got similar outcomes.
It does say the rest are (or were, at the time) work in progress. See: The IBEW, which were still negotiating at the time of writing this article but got their sick days when the other one was written.

People who struggled with procrastination and have now stopped, what made you stop procrastinating? What do you think were the factors leading or contributing to your past procrastination and how did you stop or improve the situation?...
My case isn't as serious as some of the comments around here, but mostly it's deciding that I don't care how I feel about the task at hand. This only works for things that don't require a lot of concentration, but for example you go "I'll do this and now" and just do it no matter how much you feel like using Lemmy or yt. It helps to think of how whatever it is you wanna do to waste your time, it feels better to do it when you're free than when you're busy.

I hate to say this, but depending on how you look at it this might actually be better for America as a whole since it'll reduce the number of republican voters.
Obligatory I don't agree with the mess going on in Iran.
With that out of the way, there's a decent amount of restrictions on the lashing process to make the sentence painful but not lethal or permanently disabling. Lashing someone with all your strength and ripping the flesh off their back pre-Civil War America style isn't a thing., because ripping the flesh off people's backs tends to kill them.
It's because without mentioning that part I'll get a whole bunch of FUCK YOU BARBARIAN YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED blah blah blah because it can sound like I'm defending what Iran is doing at first glance.
No, and if the criticism was directed at that I'd understand, but that's clearly not what's going on in the comments here. So can we keep criticism to things that are factually true, and not the actions of a minority dictatorship that's opposed by their own population?
And Islamophobe it was created to deflect any criticism of islam,
No, it was created because people like you hate Muslims, and we needed a term for that. Or are you somehow denying that Muslims experience discrimination based on their religion (if only we had a term for that, maybe something starting with Islam and ending with phobia)?
Either way I don't intend to pursue this conversation any further, but if your answer to my question is yes (and even if it's no, really), you need to interact more with the outside world.
