on "Apolitical" rule in c/onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 16 Sep 2026
why do republicans have to pretend they don’t like politics
Because the alternative is admitting to friends and family that they actually wanted all this, and that mask-off villainy may complicate some relationships.

My city put a rainbow-themed art installation in the most heavily trafficked park in the city back in 2019. It was supposed to be there for one year, as a temporary memorial to the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall riots. It’s been there for 7 years now, and half the city would lose their minds if someone tried to take it down now.

My boss had three of us on a Teams call for nearly an hour and a half yesterday because he needed our help to make one Power Point slide.

You may not consider yourself a good networker, but I think you must be. I’ve been working for over 20 years now and never got a single job because of a referral.

on One In Five Drivers Switches Off The Safety Tech Meant To Save Their Lives in c/technology@lemmy.world · 24 Aug 2026
I drove a rental that had collision detection in it. Three or four times, it suddenly slammed on the brakes for no discernable reason, and with no regard to how close/fast traffic behind me was moving. I had to pull off, download the manual, and figure out how to turn it off before the car killed me.
One of the most important things in safely operating a vehicle is using gradual, predictable movements. My car braking without my input makes predictable movement impossible.

While I mostly agree with you, it is worth noting that vehicles can (and often do) have passengers accompanying a driver. They would be free to mess around on their phones when the alert goes out.
You’re missing an important distinction, though: in the US, health benefits are tied to full-time employment, and most places consider anything under 35 to be part-time. I’ve had several jobs that would force me to clock off if I was at risk of hitting that full-time threshold. I had times where I was struggling to make ends meet, but they wouldn’t let me work more. And, at least in my state, if you take on a second job, wages from the second job are taxed at a higher rate.
So 34 American hours and the benefits associated are very different from 35 French hours. Codifying the threshold for full-time employment at 32 hours instead will only benefit white collar workers. Everyone else will just get their hours cut even further and be driven further into poverty.
Basically, we really, really need to fix American healthcare before anything else, because until we’re on a single-payer system, most changes to labor law will fuck the most at-risk populations.
