why can rockstar games institutionalise you for life like nikita kruschev for being autistic

[transhuman-priestess]

He didn't steal 10 million dollars. They made that number up as a loss, they never fucking had it. Rockstar has spent more than a billion fucking dollars on GTA VI and will likely make billions more when it gets released.

Uber is a fucking shell game of a company designed to leech investor capital and output bootleg cabs.

Nvidia posted a profit in 2023 of $4.37 billion. This is like someone stealing less than a penny from me.

And they lock this kid in a prison hospital for LIFE?

Capitalism is disgusting.

Nobody should buy GTA til they free Arion Kurtaj

[transhuman-priestess]

What with GTA VI going up for pre-order i'd just like to remind everyone that rockstar conspired with the UK government to lock an 18-year-old away for life for hacking them.

Just watched Adam Conover (of Adam Ruins Everything) make such a solid point that I think we should spread far and wide. Yes, having AI write your emails is lazy, sure, but people love being lazy. We need to really emphasize that sending AI emails (or using AI responses on social media, or publishing AI flyers, or or or) is rude.

It's rude. You're making someone take their time to read something you couldn't bother to write. You're telling them they were so unimportant you couldn't be bothered to actually take the time to say something yourself. And frankly, you're lying about it while you're at it.

It's rude.

Some shots of my mother and I’s work that’s being featured in the window at the Maine Potter’s Market this month. My mother is 110% the reason I am doing pottery in any kind of professional capacity and you can find her and her equally whimsical work across socials at Maple Lane Pottery.

US accepts only white refugees for sixth consecutive month

The Trump administration is spending more than $100 million to fight the "emergency" of "white genocide" in South Africa.

[stillnaomi]

Every single one of the 599 refugees the US admitted last month was a white South African, according to data the State Department’s Bureau of Population released Friday.

In fact, so was every other refugee admitted this year. Since October 1, 2025, the US has accepted 6,668 refugees. Of those, 6,665 were white South Africans. Three—admitted last November—were from Afghanistan. No other refugees were admitted.

And this is only half the story. They are also revoking the legal status of existing immigrants granted protected status due to fleeing dangerous conditions in their home countries… and let’s look at which countries they are:

Trump canceled temporary legal status for more than 1.5 million immigrants in 2025

Since Inauguration Day, more than 1.5 million immigrants have either lost or will lose their temporary legal status, including their work au

I hate drug tests soooo fucking much they are this totally normalized, uncontroversial thing when they are deeply invasive and irrelevant to your ability to do a job. they are completely pointless except as a way to keep poor people poor by not letting them into certain positions, and are a way of controlling existing employees outside of work. the threat of drug testing hangs over most people in the workforce I'd say

[jasminuwu]

It makes sense for a lot of jobs, a drunk crane operator is dangerous to themself and everyone else

And even beyond dangerous jobs, people are generally more productive when sober than when they are drunk, so it makes sense why companies would want to select for people who are sober

Please tell me if I misunderstood your post

[communist-hatsunemiku]

Ok since you have asked nicely (and since someone else just commented the same sentiment) I will explain how you have misunderstood the post.

Drug tests do not actually stop anyone from coming into work drunk/high or whatever. Like in your own example, the crane operator is already employed and already drunk at work, so, a drug screen would not be relevant in this scenario. These drug screens fail at the one thing they are purported to be good for, which is preventing someone from coming into work impaired.

Now, let's put any conversations about the ethics of coming to work impaired aside. It may seem like that's what we're discussing here, but it isn't.

We are talking about a potential employer looking in your pee to see if you have ingested 'illegal' drugs at all, at anytime in the last couple weeks.

It does not matter if the drugs in question are even illegal anymore, it does not matter if the drugs were taken outside of work. The fact that employment can be withheld because a substance I bought legally, and was consumed in the privacy of my own home, is absurd.

This practice disproportionately harms marginalized people, people who have chronic pain, who struggle with poor mental health, and people of color especially. It is a hold over from the days where Reefer Madness was in theaters, it is designed solely to filter out 'degenerate stoners hippies and other delinquents' and again.

It does not actually prevent anyone from coming to work impaired. it is simply another humiliating and degrading hoop you are forced to jump through.

history fucked me up

oxford was built and operational as a college before the rise of the mayans and cleopatra lived in a time nearer to pizza hut’s invention than to the pyramids being built

[kayforpay]

I need a noncomprehensive history book that covers Known World History in time periods, like “in this century, all this shit was happening concurrently” and not just all spread out so I have to piece it together like some unpaid uneducated scholar

[archaeologysucks]

You mean like this?

The Timetables of History by Bernard Grun

I grew up with this book, which is frickin’ enormous, and it was endlessly fascinating to young me to pour over the side by side comparison of events taking place concurrently under different headings and in different parts of the world.

Or if you want something you can put on your wall, there’s this:

World History Timeline

I had this book! My grandpa gave it to me and it was really freakin useful!!

[mckitterick]

I loved this book! Same for The Timetables of Science: A Chronology of the Most Important People and Events in the History of Science.

Same for The Timetables of Technology: A Chronology of the Most Important People and Events in the History of Technology. Great references!

okay but here’s an even cooler (free!) visualization that goes a step further and tracks ideas, devices, infrastructures, and systems of power
