Its like, “Oh… okay. I’m mildly uncomfortable now because I honestly don’t know what I’m supposed to do with that information. Are you warning me of some future weirdness or are you low key trying to let me know that I’m doing something in ways that I should change or…”
I kinda get all inside my own head for a bit.
Instagram. I was maybe the last person to get a smart phone. It was probably 2016. I’m just fully lazy to take photos of stuff. This is a real issue when I’m single and I need to start putting photos on dating sites, as all pics of me in my phone are me squeezing carrots in my nostrils and similarly goofy things.
The stories you might get from using those photos might be worth it.
“Every time the stock market does well, my post office job gives me a permanent raise!”
narrator voice: “This has never happened, ever.”
We have already got, first savings.
But what about, second savings?
After humans solve the problem and post it online somewhere to be hoovered by a LLM data scraper, an AI will be able to solve the problems already solved by humans.
At one point they go to planet that recreates a 1800s England and there a scene about how unions ruin everything…
That sounds like what the “baddies” of this series were doing with their undead soul powers.
Ukraine Plans Privatization to Help Fund War Effort… (archive link)
scratches chin
Keep the NATO funding just high enough to keep the war going but not so high that Ukraine stops trying to sell state assets to private enterprises but managing the spread and escalation of the conflict in such a way that private interests don’t instantly value the auctioned items as “worthless” so nobody bids.
That’s a lot of plates to spin.
Emotes… emotes for miles and miles… 
It took me way too long to get the “surprise mechanics” bit from a years ago.
@CarsAndComrades@hexbear.net, any advice?
Our very own CarsandComrades has done a few podcasts with Zac from the Automotive Free Clinic. Been a while since I’ve listened to the few episodes and I can’t remember how much they went into the “business incorporation” side of things. Unsure of the all specific differences between a for-profit worker coop and a non-profit. There will be some different accounting, book keeping and tax stuff for sure but I’m pretty ignorant of the owner/manager/board of directors (or its equivalent) differences. But it might not be a bad idea to call/email the Automotive Free Clinic and chat them up.
I think the below link is the first episode where they talk to Zac of the Automotive Free Clinic.
It wouldn’t surprise me that, assuming its just going to be the three of you, it would be easier to modify the LLC to just have another owner. Then its probably going to be a matter of figuring out how to account for them “buying in” and getting their name updated on the official documents, planning ahead for if/when an owner wants to sell their shares of the business when they don’t want to be a part of the LLC anymore.
It seems like coops tend to be required to have Boards of Directors and elections, it would make sense that the Directors can’t be the workers, but if the local community is pretty tight knit and all cool with each other this probably won’t cause problems though.
Reach out to that restaurant that’s a worker coop probably is a good idea. Maybe go visit the place a few times when its not super busy and try to chat up the front of house workers to get a feel for the place before trying to contact the “business manager” side of things.
You should be able to contact local chamber of commerce or local government types to see if they can give you some direction in organizing the business as a coop. If there’s a university nearby or a agricultural extension agency (may or may not be associated with the university) they might have some community outreach orgs/programs that can try to help guide you and assist in research. For the university, you’re probably going to be looking for resources under the umbrella of “Business School” or “Business Law.” If there’s a local Farmer’s Coop, you might be able to find somebody to talk about organizing a coop as well.
If I ever get back into trying the first book and rereading the series, I’ll be sure pay attention.
My memory is foggy but I thought the Edenists were the collectivist branch of humanity and the Adamists had the monarchy. (I’m also very lazy and am not going to look this up right now.)
But yeah, “too rich to bribe” is kinda juvenile thinking.
You’re a better person for not having to waste brain space on knowing who this fella is.

Hey! Asshole! Did you know that the person who isn’t the current sitting president of the United States of America is worse that the current sitting president of the United States of America?

Famously known for being a leftist, Dave Rubin.
I don’t know how this can compete with…

What we don’t know, is the law meant to be used to punish infidelity or to punish somebody taking advantage of a lonely spouse of a deployed soldier?
I’d imagine that if the law was meant to “protect a lonely spouse from being taken advantage of” it wouldn’t matter which gender the stay behind spouse was interacting with.
Good to hear you’re getting on alright.
Late last week, while sitting on the toilet the light in the bathroom went out. Lights in the the other bathroom were also out. Anything plugged into the electrical outlets also did not work… with one exception, a very tiny and very dim LED night light. Nothing else in the house is affected, other rooms on the same circuit were not affected. Biggest bummer was that the air conditioner for the bedroom was now not working and it was going to be at least 100 degrees F for the next few days.
Crawl around in the attic, slowly boiling my brain. Two different sections of electrical wire, on two different circuits, had a total of 18 inches of insulation stripped from the neutral and ground wires. One section had the ground wire completely chewed through.
Kinda got all panicky about needing to hire an electrician.
We said, “fuck it”, and did a lightening run to Lowes and spent about 100 bucks on stuff to splice in a new section of wire to replace the stripped out section.
Two days later and only one accident of cutting a live wire later (didn’t die, go me) everything is good to go and we’ve got A/C in the bedroom again.
Guess lots of folks are taking vacation days and I’ve got quite a few opportunities to get some extra hours of pay over the last few weeks.
Two good things so far… now I’m just waiting for the bad thing to balance everything out.
