Wouldn’t the non molester uncles protect you from the molester uncles thereby creating war on earth between the uncles that want to molest you and the ones that want to protect you.
Uncles or fish is irrelevant, infinite anything with mass presumably fills the entire space of the universe immediately and collapses everything into a giant singularity.
The thing is that the universe is as far as we can tell the not infinite, just infinitely expanding. The known universe is measurable (like 46 billion light years)
Idk what that implies for the existence of open space however. Like if that is infinite or if it is somehow created.
It is known that there are an infinite number of worlds, simply because there is an infinite amount of space for them to be in. However, not every one of them is inhabited. Therefore, there must be a finite number of inhabited worlds. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near to nothing as makes no odds, so the average population of all the planets in the Universe can be said to be zero. From this it follows that the population of the whole Universe is also zero, and that any people you may meet from time to time are merely the products of a deranged imagination.
For me, literally everything except the balding and I really couldn’t give a shit, I’ll buzz it all off anyway.
Infinite rare fish? Well as it happens, fishing is my biggest hobby, so that’s just fuckin delightful.
Mongolian real estate empire? Well that’s passive income and/or something I can sell. As a mongol mogul, in gonna try working the angle of an exotic but affordable fishing, hunting, and nature tourism destination, really try to put Mongolia on the map for Western tourists.
No taxes dovetails nicely here, also making it easier to both expand as well as make the business model more resilient.
Neighbors scared of me? Great! If they seem cool, I’ll reach out to them, otherwise, fear is a great way to not have to deal with shitty neighbors! In Mongolia they’ll be far away anyway.
Night light to keep the monsters at bay.
And the balding we will deal with by just keeping it buzzed low or shaving my head completely.
Are you unaware that fascism is an umbrella term for many things such as communism and national socialism? I mean I know you’d rather suppress that fact but still, quite delusional
Nah. I’m an antifascist. If something looks like a fascist and acts like a fascist it is fascist. It’s not my fault every communist regime is fascist. Differences in the economic model underneath is irrelevant to the minorities being slaughtered. Communism is intrinsically transphobic
Can you explain why communist regimes have a clear tendency of “removing” minorities, such as ethnic and sexual minorities?
Like I said, I didn’t make the rules, communism clearly has a requirement of genocide as perceived in reality, exactly like in national socialism - it’s ingrained in the ideology.
The ideology didn’t kill these people because the whitepaper said it didn’t
Next thing you’re gonna say is that soviet union wasn’t communist even though they said it was. Fascists are always like this. Just take responsibility for once and admit that millions of minorities have been killed due to communism, and its inherent requirement for a homogeneous, authoritarian society which it always tries to go towards. Just once admit, then you can go back to playing a closet nazi.
If it is inseparably attached, where is it in Das Kapital?
In reality too. Go check it out sometime and read a historybook.
Or do you not mean ‘intrinsic’ and ‘inherent’ when you use those words?
Do you always go for semantics when you don’t know how to intellectually best someone? I mean, there is a reason why communism is strictly for the uneducated and violent.
Instead of showing any sympathy for the countless of victims of communism, you instead purposefully drag the conversation into some weird mud fight on a book written by someone who never touched grass.
It is of course clear why you choose to move the discourse away from the fact that communism in it’s core is just transphobia, but again, admit it and I’ll play with you.
Once again, insulting me won’t change what words mean. I have not insulted you at all. If you can’t talk to people in a civil manner, perhaps Reddit would be better suited for you.
The part in which you derailed the civil conversation I was trying to have with you on the core ideology of communism (transphobia) which you turned into a weird semantics mud fight, even though the fact that communism is inherently transphobic was already established.
Typical fascism, trying to dodge responsibility and avoiding saying the quiet parts out loud. Glad I read you hateful fucks like a book.
I see, so not only did you lie when you claimed I was uncivil, you want me to “stay within the topic” which we have not discussed once during our conversation.
And, before you say you didn’t lie, please prove it by quoting my incivility.
I you “remember me” being a communist and transphobia is asking for a clarification. I see. Logical.
Clearly I must be a communist because your memory is flawless. Asking me if I’m actually a communist or believe in that ideology would be pointless because I couldn’t possibly say I wasn’t a communist.
And if I did say I wasn’t a communist- well, that’s just what a communist would do, isn’t it?
That’s not what I said. Please do not put words in my mouth. That is very dishonest. Just answer my question. You wanted me to discuss this with you and I’m discussing it with you.
Also, I am tired of your insults, as is another person you insulted and we are both going to flag you for violating community rules from now on. I’m told you’re already quite the presence in the modlog. You might consider what you say carefully if you do intend to stay here.
Of course, if you don’t, have at it. Keep calling me a transphobe and a fascist without any actual evidence to support either claim.
Also, I implied nothing. That is untrue. I asked you a question. A question you won’t answer.
Clearly you lied when you said you wanted to discuss whether or not communism was fascism. You don’t. Discussions aren’t finger-pointing and putting words in people’s mouths and they aren’t refusing to answer all questions asked. Why did you say you wanted a discussion on a topic you clearly don’t want to discuss?
It is refreshing. Usually I’m called a fascist (and supporter of genocide) because I’m a Jew and therefore inherently support Israel. It usually isn’t because I don’t support communism but also don’t think communes are an example of fascism.
You know what else is amusing? I’m having a discussion with a communist in this very thread (a civil one with no namecalling) about why communism won’t work just based on specialized and trained labor alone. But that’s the typical sort of deceit that communists do, I suppose. Talk to people about the failings of communism.
You could’ve just kept on topic and we’d arrive at the logical conclusion that all communism is fascist. But for some reason you felt the need to stretch it out like this.
You don’t want to be on topic, you want to be agreed with or else. And since I don’t agree that all communism is fascist, because I don’t believe that communes are fascist or transphobic (especially not this one)
I’m almost certain you won’t check that link, or if you do, you’ll dismiss it as off-topic. Please prove me wrong.
Saakto here is either a troll or deranged, so I wouldn’t expect much. Check their post history, it’s interesting. They keep accusing people of derailing the conversation when they themselves are the only person doing the derailing. Then they get upset and accuse the other of being a fascist or a transphobe, sometimes both. It’s bizarre.
Yeah, it’s pretty weird. Although they don’t seem to be able to come up with a response to my last message to them. I was looking forward to an explanation of why I’m still a fascist transphobe when we’re in agreement. Oh well, I’ve got to get started with morning stuff anyway.
It was more of a rhetorical question as you tried to shift your own thoughts to show up as a quote from someone else. And with that rhetorical method I demonstrated that it in fact wasn’t about me.
Uh-huh. And we’ve demonstrated that what you’re describing is happening in your imagination as I have no comments which would indicate anything like that as my ideology.
‘Literally quoting’ would mean that the quoted words are something I’d had written somewhere which isn’t true.
And again you’re attacking an antifascist which is a problematic position for you to take.
Should we assume that your non-truths are deliberate lies and thus the phobic remarks are actually projection?
I do appreciate it if one would like to admit and fix their mistake.
what you’re describing is happening in your imagination
Just to be clear, I am the only one in this thread trying to keep the discussion anchored in reality instead of semantics.
Literally quoting’ would mean that the quoted words are something I’d had written somewhere which isn’t true.
This is like the fifth time fascists have demonstrated this on this comment chain alone. I only implied being a transphobe but in fact I never actually wrote it down :)
Should we assume that your non-truths are deliberate lies and thus the phobic remarks are actually projection?
Again, I am the only one here even showing sympathy towards the victims of communism.
So go get your support then instead of attacking antifascists alone. I see you’ve already been banned from communities from racism. Maybe you can find your supporters on the homma forum or tomorrow’s 612-attendees
Yea I noticed the line between is quite thin indeed.
We’re closer to communism here in Finland.
Mitä vittua sä selität? Asutaan kyllä ihan sosiaalidemokraattisesa kapitalistisessa valtiossa jossa on yksityisomistusta. Lue uudelleen mun eka viesti ketjuun, jos osaat.
Why does Communism necessitate killing minorities, and why are you assuming Social Democracies haven’t killed minorities?
Good question, let’s hope you are able to have a civil conversation!
First of all, every communist regime has systemically killed off their minorities. Social democrat governments haven’t. I hope that clears it up. If you come across social democratic governments systematically killing minorities, let me know though.
Do you think tools have a mystical property that requires the owners to turn evil if they are collectively owned, rather than privately?
Like I said earlier, the underlying economic model under the fascism is irrelevant to the millions of minorities having being killed by communist regimes.
Every country has systemically killed off minorities.
Show me exactly where the mystical property of tools comes in, where collective ownership turns people evil. If you can’t, then Communism does not necessitate genocide.
Every country had systemically killed off minorities.
Did I say talk about countries or governments? Keep it on topic
If you can’t, then Communism does not necessitate genocide.
Again, I don’t support transphobia, I just so happen to support communism which is a form of fascism which historically has systematically slaughtered transgendered people :)
Ah, you’re a troll, checks out. For your information, the Weimar Republic was a failing Social Democracy that led to Nazi Germany, which was responsible for the Holocaust. Even Social Democracy isn’t a perfectly innocent system, nor can anyone truthfully say that unrelated systems necessitate the presence of each other.
I support collective ownership of the Means of Production, which will eventually lead to a Stateless, Classless, Moneyless society. I don’t particularly subscribe to any particular flavor of leftism, as each country will get there a different way. As such, I’m simply a leftist. Decentralization, equality, and Democracy are critical to human happiness, which will necessitate trans liberation. To call me transphobic is projection.
All in all, you’re nothing more than a troll who believes tools have mystical qualities that necessitate genocide if people share them. You can’t actually logically prove this point so you dodge and resort to calling me a transphobic fascist, despite being the opposite.
There’s no use in continuing this convo, you asked me to be civil and yet you immediately out yourself as a troll and spew slander.
Lost a convo -> ah you’re a troll haha. Classic dodge.
Weimar Republic was a failing Social Democracy that led to Nazi Germany, which was responsible for the Holocaust.
And the fish that decided to walk on land was responsible for 9/11. What the fuck are you on about?
I support collective ownership of the Means of Production, which will eventually lead to a Stateless, Classless, Moneyless society.
Yet in reality it only eventually has lead to genocide. Good going, I’m sure it’ll work the next time around. All you transfolk you’re good, we pinky promise not to kill you this time around :)
Still wont (or can’t?) be civil, tries to dodge responsibility and shows 0 sympathy for the victims of communism. Textbook fascist.
Watching you figuratively fling yourself wildly from side to side to miss nearly every point they made, only to later blame them for the conversation going south is absolutely hilarious.
The best part is where you challenged them to keep a civil tone and they did, but you couldn’t manage to do so for even one more comment. If you’re not trolling, you’re just a massive hypocrite, so it looks like you’re trolling.
The Weimar Republic was also deeply economically fucked because of repayments made to the Allies post WW1. There’s a little bit of history you’re casually ignoring. It wasn’t a systemic failure of “social democracy”.
I’m not ignoring it, hence why I said the presence of some systems doesn’t necessitate the presence, and thus all consequences of unrelated systems.
Their point was that because Communist governments have committed genocides, Communism itself requires Genocide. This is absolutely false, nothing about collective ownership of property in a Stateless, Classless, Moneyless society necessitates that the collective itself be evil, hence why I made that point.
It’s fully possible to make coherent points against Communism without resorting to pure ad hominem and mysticism, and I’m fine with people making those points, as discussion adds value.
At what point was there a communist country on Earth and not just a fascist dictatorship calling itself communist? When did the proles have their revolution and create government?
There are some capitalist countries that have a pretty low number of homeless people. Finland, for instance: 3,686 in 2022 (0,07% of whole population). So yeah, perhaps USA could do a lot better in this, but also being capitalist doesn’t really correlate with this.
Then again, could be that the reason for the low number of homeless people in Finland is that you don’t survive the winter if you’re homeless in Finland.
Finland has a housing first policy. The homeless often have multiple problems that prevent them from getting a home the normal way (e.g. drug problems that cause them to get evicted). Instead of insisting people get better while homeless, they’re given homes first and treatment for their other problems after. This coupled with welfare transfers that ensure you never end up homeless just because of lack of money leads to low homeless numbers.
Finland’s version of capitalism is in another universe compared to North American capitalism. Finland had UBI, rehabilitation first prisons, housing is treated more as a human right. Socialism doesn’t mean the abolition of commerce, it just removes the predatory hoodwink from the equation.
Well Nixon was an antisemitic genocidal mass murderer. And his antisemitic genocidal mass murderer secretary of state Kissinger is now praised as “great diplomat” in many western countries.
Don’t worry I dual boot on my desktop and Linux only on my laptop. I just happened to be on the windows partition when the idea struck. Also I haven’t made memes in a long time so thought including paint would be funny. And it is.
I think you’re confusing us with Redditors. We’re chad af over here. We’re all programmer sock-wearing Linux users who love Star Trek and 15 year old memes. What makes you think we’re not getting any? 👉😏👉
True. I’m 27 now and if people ask what I like or hobbies I have I tell them games, books movies/shows and I especially love fantasy or RPGs. When I was a teenager I never would have answered with that as I was insecure for being an introvert and having “geeky” interests.
I also really hate the meme of nerds not having sex or relationships. I’m a software dev that works with the nerdiest people I’ve ever met. The vast majority of my coworkers are married or in long term relationships. I’m active in the kink community and have a number of coworkers I see there too. My experience is that nerds are very common in the kink community. I mostly date and fuck fellow nerds and as far as I can tell, they’re mostly doing alright, too.
The stereotype from the meme is just self deprecation bordering on toxicity and incel-ness. The only place where “nerd” is still an insult or bad thing is in Disney channel movies, which are eternally stuck in 90s stereotypes, where people nerds are supposed to remove their glasses and let their hair down if they want to be found hot (ps: that is a terrible trope, because glasses are extremely hot).
I am this mans, and to be honest if there is no wind, I wouldnt be wearing the hoodie. Just run super hot. If I could afford it I would keep the house at like 62 and still have the ceiling fans on.
It’s still autumn on the Canadian east coast, and temperatures are now staying below the freezing point. Still seeing the occasional shorts wearer, now with boots on.
As an Okie, I’ll admit that our “cold” isn’t truly cold. Our coldest nights on average are like -3°C. In fact, the coldest it’s ever been in my neck of the woods is -25°C, and that was that freak polar vortex that knocked out power in Texas for several days in Feb '21. The coldest verified recorded temperature in Oklahoma happened in Nowata in Feb 2011, where it dipped to -35°C. And that was also a freak occurrence, and it was 24°C again within a few days. In my part of the state, it gets above freezing point about 355 days of the year. Rarely do we ever spend a full 24 hours below freezing, though it happens once or twice a year. We also get a decent snow or two most years, but it never sticks around for long. New snow is beautiful. But once it’s a day or two old, it’s disgusting. It’s nice that it all melts away within a few days.
And yes, I am a white man, and I wear shorts all year and in any weather.
Don’t ask me about the hot, humid hell we become over summer.
Am white guy that cab spend hours in a -10F freezer with just a lightweight coat and beanie. I wear shorts as long as it’s not windy and walked a mile in -15F one winter. That was a bit cold and had to take a warm bath after that.
I was born in Minnesota, so I know cold, in the south they think snow is cold, they are unaware of so cold it cant snow. I still shovel snow in my crocs
I agree that snowy weather isn’t that cold. But shovelling snow in crocs?? There is no worse feeling than that particular cold wetness of snow getting in your shoes. I wear a big snowsuit to prevent any snow from getting on me.
Might I recommend Denmark? Too damn cold here much of the year and other than the weather, which it sounds like you might enjoy, it’s an excellent place to live!
I just have a “channel” on my plex (I use DizqueTV to setup the fake TV channel) that has a random continuous playlist of Mythbusters, Top gear + all the spinoffs and classic specials, Junkyard wars, classic robot wars, etc etc…
its just an app you run next to plex that lets you make fake TV channels with your own content. good for those “I don’t know what to watch” times where you just want to click a button and shut your brain off.
Just a fair warning, if you already use the LiveTV option with a TV Tuner or IPTV, I have yet to find a way to get them blended together with the fake TV channels in the guide on Plex even with xTeve outputting a valid m3u/xmltv. It’s either one or the other unfortunately.
Emby did work correctly so I’m assuming it’ll also work correctly in Jellyfin too.
I have been looking for high-quality video of Junkyard Wars for years. I found one torrent once of like 320x240 rips of a singe season. It's miserable.
yea, sadly a lot of shows from those times were never released on decent formats, so all we have are poor broadcast rips, some of them from VHS, and occasionally a DVD encode made in 2003.
Meanwhile, on a somewhat normal day in Belgorod, Russia; things got very tense for a woman who hung a blue blanket out to dry, on an orange balcony. The FSB had her take it down after enraged neighbours called in to complain.
I’m not saying it’s exactly the same, but I’ve heard of American kindergarten teachers being told to take down the color learning rainbow decor which were NOT pride flags because bigoted parents threw a huge fit about the gay decorations. I’ve seen unironic videos of people claiming any decor featuring a rainbow in a classroom is LGBTQ indoctrination. And they were pointing at cartoon depictions of the sky, like with smiling clouds and suns.
I actually work in this industry, looking after properties for owners when they’re not being rented.
I will not work with Airbnb properties.
On every single other property rental site, the fee you see is the fee you pay, it includes everything from the booking agent’s percentage to the property owner’s cut of the rental
Airbnb try to split it up to make it look less, and they can shove their site up their arse.
Use local rental agencies in the place you’re staying. Cheaper for you and more money for the owner.
Yeah, I’ve got a few different sites that I avoid using that are often high up on searches, but I haven’t had issues just scrolling past them.
Going with a top result just means your results will be biased towards sites with good SEO. Bad SEO or ignoring it doesn’t mean the product, service, or site will be bad. IMO they could be better because the owner isn’t obsessed with doing everything they can to maximise money.
Their app for android sucks blue donkey balls and I’d happily pay more if I’d get to use a slightly less retarded cousin of this app.
The other but:
Spotify in on itself is not very bad right now and basically could and SHOULD continue as-is forever.
However, the economic system as it currently is requires it to continually come up with new crap that nobody needs nor wants (see also all Microsoft software that went from absolute shit thirty years ago to absolute slimey shit with lots of useless but pretty ding dong bells attached to it with a nice camera hidden inside to spy on the insides of your butthole) and it only a matter of time before…
Some exec gets hired there that promises to double their revenue, then implements some shit that will double their revenue once, gets this exec his bonus upon which he immediately quits to go to the next company to fuck over with a pineapple, leaving Spotify with a huge exodus of users, a dwindling service, and two years later it’s dead.
I’ve seen this cycle with too many large companies, and it’s the same story over and over. Be it Boeing, Disney, just about all large game companies, etc etc…
Their app for android sucks blue donkey balls and I’d happily pay more if I’d get to use a slightly less retarded cousin of this app.
Can you still not play a playlist in order on Android even with premium subscription. I cancelled my subscription when even viewing the playlist and tapping the first track started playback with shuffle turned on.
I could not without a stupidly bad UX which was reportedly limited to Android while desktop/web/iOS were sane about it. I had been giving Spotify a try after Google squashed Play Music for YouTube Music and I canceled Premium and went to Google with YouTube Premium specifically over this issue.
When I first started with Premium, you could toggle shuffle mode on or off before hitting the play button. But then that went away and there was basically only a Shuffle button, so you had to do the sequence like here (from 2022)
Step 4. Open the “Now Playing” page and turn off the “Shuffle” button.
And I think at that time the forums were saying it was only the Android app where you had to do this (and I want to say that desktop/web app were indeed not putting me through these shenanigans at that time, was a probably 4-5 years ago, maybe more). And then when I further had to start doing that 4th step of disabling shuffle in the now playing screen I had just had enough and cancelled.
Other posts from 2023 seem to indicate this is now the standard UX on all platforms
So I guess I may have my timelines a bit off, but I strongly remember the Play button originally having a little sub-button overlay you could tab to enable or disable shuffle before hitting the Play button proper.
Not normin but I’ve never had a problem either. Here’s the screen I get when I open a playlist, can toggle between shuffle, smart shuffle and normal to the left of the play button.
Thanks! Glad to see they are no longer being complete idiots about it. I haven’t looked at it since cancelling, but yeah it was very different. They had completely removed the control to enable or disable shuffle from this view, if you hit the play button it was going to shuffle, period. If you hit a track to start playback (in shuffle mode) on that track you had to then go to the now playing view and disable shuffle.
Same here. Was surprised to read this comment, went to the Android app, played a few playlists. Shuffle is off by default, first song on a list starts playing. Switch it on, go to another playlist, it is still off by default. Is it some a/b testing by Spotify I am lucky not to be part of? Would certainly cancel my sub if that was the case.
I mean, there were quite a few elements of the ux I was mad about, like promoting stuff I’d never want to listen on the front page just because Spotify paid a gazillion to creators, but shuffle is not it.
From what ive seen it’s not souch that Spotify doesn’t allow you to do that, it’s just that their app is developed by some junior devs and managed by managers who have no idea about what a good app is. The result is, well, Spotify. It sucks, really, but at least gives me the bare necessities
Napster still exists? Didn’t know. But in any case, I have no problem with paying for a service when I have the resources to do so, and if the service is not trying to fuck me over.
Spotify app sucks, but at least so far they haven’t tried to fuck me over. Once that changes (and it will) I’ll happily torrent music, just like movies.
Not really the right use I think. It was coined specifically to describe platforms’ lifecycle of changing who they benefit. What’s above is just constant churn in the attempt of infinite growth or just hanging onto market share trying to decide what people want (or tell them what they should want).
A paid subscription service like O365 or spotify isn’t too similar to the advertising “business partners” of a social media platform like tiktok. Of course language is descriptive rather than prescriptive but I feel like overusing this term loses the perceptive observation (and the message Doctorow wants to promote) of how these businesses work. Microsoft adding new features and spotify changing things to either make their app management easier (they claimed that’s why they got rid of android widget for a while) or promote their own stuff doesn’t seem to fit.
Hire a bunch of managers that made loads of decisions that made Boeing a lot of money short term (like exporting loads of complicated jobs on programming flight computers) to Indian companies that were cheap and rather incompetent. The results were predictable, all 737 maxes being grounded for years, Boeing went closer to bankruptcy than ever before and those managers were already long gone with their big bonuses.
Spotify app sucks in the sense that they keep refining their UI to reduce the number of buttons on the bottom of the screen. When it first started they were five, then after a while there became four. I got used to where everything was, so of course with the recent update there now three so I have no freaking idea what is what.
Tidal app is good but slightly off (mainly with offline mode, but probably there’s a way to do it once you get used to it. I just don’t need offline mode that often).
Is it any different than speaking in front of your smartphone?
I don’t own an echo or Google whatever but I’ve definitely mentioned things and then got ads for that thing within the hour/day. Like cat litter when I don’t even own a cat, just mentioned it once for cleaning up spills.
More likely there’s a bunch of data points it can use. Coming within BT range of someone who does have a cat for example. Otherwise all the major smart phone companies would need to be in collision to keep the secret because the battery drain would be so blatant of it was recording, processing, transfering etc.
I don’t have a smoking gun for Google advertising based on conversation, but I mentioned in an email (Gmail) that someone I know was going to the Calgary Stampede, and Google Ads flogged Stetson cowboy hats and the Stampede for weeks after that. It was so conspicuous because normally it’s just, “hot singles in your area”, “hot Christian singles in your area?” maybe, “hot Christian moms in your area?” Nowadays it’s like, “grannies near you want to fuck.” FML.
My pastor mentioned a specific verse in his sermon recently. I went to type it in my notes. My phone’s keyboard (Gboard) suggested that specific verse immediately. Not just the book. The chapter and verse numbers, too.
It’s more likely you’re getting those hyper-targeted ads because of location tracking and relationship tracking than because they’re listening. It’s much cheaper and easier than running voice recognition on shitty audio clips from a mic in your pocket, and honestly much scarier.
People only ever have anecdotes to support the claim that tech companies are listening in on their conversations, but these companies openly admit to targeting ads based on your location data and specifically who you’ve been associating with.
It’s more likely that others in your congregation searched for that verse, so it was suggested to you based on your proximity to others who already searched for it.
It was in my hand. I was taking notes on it. So I doubt the audio was all that bad. My pastor also uses a mic, so his voice is not too quiet for a phone to pick it up.
because of location tracking and relationship tracking
I also find this unlikely because of how specific it got. It got the chapter and verse correct. The only input it got from me was my beginning to type out the name of the book of the Bible.
It’s more likely that others in your congregation searched for that verse, so it was suggested to you based on your proximity to others who already searched for it.
While that’s possible, I’m not sure it’d work so quickly. I typed the reference in my note-taking app literally as soon as my pastor said it.
Get out of here with your reasoning. It’s more fun to feign outrage because it gives me an opportunity to feel smart. If you start to invalidate my superiority by pointing out how arbitrary and dramatic my response is then I’m going to downvote you.
I don’t know about you, but I generally turn my phone off completely when I’m at a doctor or hospital, as per the rules they have posted in the lobby asking me to do so.
Yeah, the whole point is having a legally binding contract that sets wages, hours, and working conditions. Also the “going through your union instead of your manager” is super dumb. It’s like saying, “why talk to your lawyer when you can just confess to the police?”
No guarantee as in “theoretically, we could fold up our entire business instead of bothering to negotiate”. They won’t, of course, but it’s not liably false (IANAL) because there’s a valid weird hypothetical.
