  • I (surprisingly) agree with one of your comments, but why not just phrase your initial comment like this rather than feeling the need to force your (authoritarian) communist rhetoric in with it? Your comments are generally vitriolic in nature and get tons of down votes as a result, but obviously you’re capable of reasonable discussion.

    Instead of trying to force people to think a certain way, or fall in line with your thinking, just giving clear and constructive information and opinions. I say that as someone who very much appreciates the social and economic strength of a communist society, but I also strongly oppose authoritarianism regardless of the beliefs.








  • When someone comes and murders your children in their school, WITH GUNS, and the governor barely responds with anything but thoughts and prayers, and you and the rest of your murdered children town vote thoughts and prayers guy back in, it’s a pretty good reflection of how the town as a whole feels about guns. You like them. Since the children weren’t still in the womb it’s okay if they’re getting murdered. At school. With guns.


  • Being able to use Google maps (which is constantly updated, integrated with my contacts, and actually had a UI/UX team design it’s interface) on the tablet sized vehicle display and car stereo system, in addition to whatever music apps, is pretty nice. As well as Google search via steering wheel controls for managing navigation.

    Yeah, I could play stuff with Bluetooth or use the integrated GPS system but the quality of audio is noticably worse and the GPS is absolutely shit but nice to have in a pinch.

    Honestly idk what other apps integrate with AA, music and directions pretty much do the trick for me.






  • Local ordinances mandating water breaks for workers outdoors, passed in Austin in 2010 and in Dallas in 2015, have contributed to a significant decrease in annual heat-related illnesses and heat deaths. Since 2011, annual workplace heat-related illness numbers have dropped by 78 percent, while workplace heat-related deaths have cut in half. San Antonio considered a similar ordinance before the Death Star zapped its chances.

    In addition to overturning existing local ordinances, House Bill 2127 bans cities and counties from passing new ones at the risk of legal action. These include any bills concerning agriculture, finance, insurance, labor, natural resources, property, business and commerce, and occupations.

    […] come September 1, those water breaks in Dallas and Austin will no longer be mandatory. Some workers fear that bosses seeking to increase production will eliminate existing breaks.

    Trying to understand how this has nothing to do with it?
