Sure, but Google’s just doing it because it’s profitable, not because they’re hell-bent on annihilating an ethnicity /s

Here’s the actual study if anyone cares to read it.

Skimming it, a couple things I noticed: This was a study of over 7,000 people across all departments at a large healthcare system. They found on-site workers skewed younger with shorter tenure and remote workers skewed older with longer tenure.

One potential pitfall: They didn’t control in any way for department or role, and so floor nurses and housekeeping staff who must work fully on-site are being compared to tenured nurses working utilization review or revenue cycle staff whose job is billing/coding and who don’t have to interact with anyone in their roles. In-person and remote jobs in healthcare tend to be very different jobs. I don’t know how well this study could be generalized to other types of job settings based on this info

That single example happened when Obama was president. Got anything more recent?

Whether there’s a net lower carbon footprint depends heavily on how much gasoline you burn

I think people who act fucking rude for no reason need to get help

This story is in regards to a single PBS station in Missouri and not the national organization, in case anyone missed that.

“The article says it’s for the federal case” would have been sufficient

I use Pocket Cast. Just sayin…

I may not know what a meme is, but I know an asshole when I see one

I’d love to see that, because your description of red, purple, and orange makes me think of a clown house lmao

My house is a darker shade of purple, the trim is a lighter shade of purple, and the doors, garage door, and eaves are all white with the slightest hint of pink. I definitely don’t have that sort of formal knowledge, but I think it looks great

I painted my house purple

Does that mean you’re allergic to peppers? Isn’t paprike just dried and powdered red pepper?

Do you have a source for this? As someone with a young child, I’ve gone out of my way to research and avoid artificial dyes, and cancer literally never showed on my radar

They only eat animal-based textiles, like leather, wool, or silk

Who sees a moth and says “ew kill it?!” I don’t know this person

Since no one else has said it, I want to recommend “Dark.” It’s German, so subtitled unless you watch it dubbed, but oh shit what a lengthy ride

Humanity may persist

Yes, that’s what I said

No way in hell we’re facing an extinction event. Unimaginable human suffering, probably, but humanity will persist.

This video on how much of the debt these companies hold is hidden from their balance sheets is chilling. According to this, Meta “officially” owes $151B, but in reality has debt obligations closer to $572B.

That’s over 40% of Meta’s entire market capitalization, and they’re rapidly adding to that debt. Meta’s existing properties are losing users, and there’s just no fucking way they’ll be able to pay back this debt in the long term, because they have zero hope of deriving income from all this data center investment. At some point, BlackRock and the other private equity firms Meta owes money to are going to come looking for blood
