Less cheap labor and more exploitable labor. H1B needs to have a competitive wage, but since they get deported if they don't keep employment with an H1B sponsor, employers have extra leverage to demand longer hours in worse conditions

Anyone ever sleep train an infant without the "cry it out" method? Can't bring myself to do that, but very low on sleep

My current favourite bit of Flat Earth lore is that you're "not allowed to explore Antarctica" which arose from clearly incompetent flat earthers being shut down by tour operators who didn't want to be liable for their inevitable, foreseeable deaths.

There's no "controversy" over The Witcher 4, it's just gotten picked up in what is now a cottage industry of YouTube-based outrage content farming by people who have zero actual investment in or understanding of the things they cover multiple times a day, every day

Please share! Most people don't know about this crucial resource. #ASafeChoice is a referral network of experienced physicians providing access to safe, affordable medication abortion services to women NATIONWIDE! With potential abortion bans on the way, this is ESSENTIAL information to spread.

Feel like I haven't quite re-found the good "film twitter" people on Bluesky, who should I be following to keep up on stuff?

People who actually *like* games don’t appreciate the spotlight being wrenched away from those games. Certainly not by a dumbass who pretends to be a fan but can’t even demonstrate basic knowledge. Fans wanna, y’know, talk about games. It’s really obvious when someone doesn’t.

Good overview - specifically it goes into why I fell out of Christianity many years ago, because my church at the time bought a hotel. Not to use as a shelter or anything, just diversifying their income streams. Something about camels and needles seems to be appropriate

Look, I think the internet just found it refreshing that the terrorism of the last few days was directed at the ruling class instead of school children for once, begrudge us a little levity during our dystopia gd.

Thank you so much for all the kind words and to everyone who shared this one. I’m so glad that it’s helped others feel seen. That alone makes it one of the most important pieces of work I’ve done.

Just so everyone knows, I work in property and casualty insurance, not medical. Seems prudent today to emphasize the distinction...

Sorry y'all, Folding Ideas might be short for this world, I let it all ride on $HAWK, I thought this was the one that was gonna crack the code, fix the problems, and we were gonna ride it to the moon. I said to myself "If I can't trust the hawk tuah lady, who can I trust?"

It has got to be surreal working for a medical insurance company right now, a leader was gunned down and the world is cheering. Seems like a great reason to leave an industry
