CaptFeather , to news in McDonald’s once again sued after customer burns herself on hot coffee

The only thing I can think of is maybe the '91 case wasn’t adjusted for inflation? That would make it a little over 1 mil today

CaptFeather , to world in Top Chinese university scraps English tests in move cheered by nationalists

Except in Paris. Paris, people just want an excuse to be a dick to you.

Lmao. A twitch streamer I watch took a trip to Europe a few weeks ago and Paris was the one place he hated because everyone there were assholes

CaptFeather , to news in The child care industry is on the cusp of a crisis

Speaking up as the director for a smaller nonprofit after school care company. There’s lot to consider here. Our main facility is located in unincorporated LA county because it’s nestled right between two proper cities. For the schools we have our program at the minimum wage is currently $15.50/H, but our main office falls under the unincorporated LA county rules (even though we operate in a lower income area and this min wage is intended for places like Beverly Hills when we’re over an hour north of LA) so the dozen workers here we have to pay $16.90 minimum. We love our employees though so we often try to beat minimum wage for them, averaging about $17/H over our 60 employees.

This still leaves us with a higher cost for our services than we’d like - I think our breakdown is about $6.50 per hour which is still a lot for our local economy and we often give discounts. The child care resource center helps but the qualifications are ridiculous to meet for some reason so even though over half of our families should qualify, only about a fourth actually receive funding. Because of all these things, I only make about 45k/year while being one of two people (the other being my boss) running this company of 60 employees servicing 300 students.

State and federal govts need to step in to provide funding for child care. I shouldn’t have to be worrying about my own financial stability with how many responsibilities I have at work and our families shouldn’t have to cry to me on the phone about them not being able to afford proper care (please know I don’t brush these parents off, we are kind people that give heavy discounts to families in need). It’s a disgusting situation all around. After working in this industry for over a decade it makes me not want to have any kids of my own, ever.

P.S. Fuck the Boys and Girls Club executives. We share school campuses with their programs and we are often intervening in fights between kids on their program cause they notoriously understaff their sites and only ever seem to have 17 or 18 year olds working for them who have no idea what they’re doing.

Lol my set up is a 22" 1080p on the left for basic web viewing, 28" 1440p center for games, and a 32" 1080p on the right for videos/twitch while I’m playing games

CaptFeather , to technology in Uber was supposed to help traffic. It didn’t. Robotaxis will be even worse

Remember, I did public transport on the daily for several years. Never again.

You have the entirely wrong takeaway from this lol. Knowing how bad public transportation is should make you want to strive for changes, not add to the problem by clogging up the roads.

CaptFeather , to news in Republican Texas AG Ken Paxton is acquitted of corruption charges at historic impeachment trial

Every single person I’ve met who says that only ever votes conservative lol.

CaptFeather , to technology in Games consoles are infuriatingly exempt from California's otherwise important new right to repair bill

Wait holy shit. I was in a thread talking about the 15 and it was mentioned that Apple seems to be heading this way with the hardware they’ve been adding. This would explain why they didn’t fight this bill

Lmao. You can’t tell me what they are because they don’t exist.

CaptFeather , to news in Lyft’s new feature lets women and non-binary riders request their driver’s gender

“I’ve never once felt threatened that a woman would do any of these things” Oh well if you personally have never experienced such a thing, it must not ever happen to anyone.

Have you looked up how little this happens to men compared to women? Unprovoked, it’s almost non-existent. Again, if you’re being threatening to women then I’m not surprised this happens to you.

CaptFeather , to news in Lyft’s new feature lets women and non-binary riders request their driver’s gender

Ummm excuse me I have never felt threatened by a man, so why are women complaining?

Wait are seriously asking that?

Also, are you going to use 13/90 as an excuse to be racist too?

“Too” as in sexist? Why is it sexist to point out the reality that women are disproportionately violently assaulted by men than men are by women? And what does that have to do with race?

CaptFeather , to memes in The American garbage parties

I’ll list everything I read to you if you can go back and specify for me all of the negative effects from the vaccine lmao.

CaptFeather , to memes in The American garbage parties

it was primarily leftist sheep who were the ones begging for government to shut down conservative voices or any voices that disagreed even the slightest with the narrative being pushed by left wing medias during the height of the pandemic.

Thats because conservatives were and still are actively spreading lies!! Fucking of course we want that shit to stop.

I don’t think anybody believes that Dr. Malone invented the mRNA vaccine by himself in his basement with a toy chem kit from amazon

Lmao He sure as fuck believes it (his Twitter profile even stated that he invented it when he was 28 lmao), and I think you did too until I called you out. Why else would you have called him the “literal inventor” of mRNA technology? All he did was help prove that it was possible, by the way. There’s been so much more R&D since then that it’s basically different technology now. What you’re saying is like if the inventor of the wheel claimed that they invented cars. Go look up what his past coworkers have to say about him! One of them stated his brilliance, but also added that he’s extremely stubborn and refuses to budge on things he perceives as correct even when shown differently. He’s a just a narcissist.

CaptFeather , to news in Lyft’s new feature lets women and non-binary riders request their driver’s gender

Getting shot, stabbed, robbed, beaten, choked, ganged up on, sexually assaulted. Weird, the exact same list that women have to fear.

Lmao this is just categorically false, and there’s so much fucking data to prove it. I’ve never once felt threatened that a woman would do any of these things to me, but I definitely have feltoke other men would.

Oh except men also have to worry about being falsely accused of sexual misconduct, having their names put on the sex offender registry and the entire rest of their lives ruined because no one will believe them.

While is sadly true, it’s so much less common than sexual misconduct happening to women. It’s so rare in fact that this has never been a fear of mine because I treat every person I meet with respect and I know for a fact that I’m not a creep. Same goes for all of my male friends. If you have a fear that this may happen to you, I think you need to reassess how you interact with women. I would be willing to bet that things you do to women you see as innocent flirting or something when in reality it makes those women extremely uncomfortable.

CaptFeather , to news in Lyft’s new feature lets women and non-binary riders request their driver’s gender

I just don’t see the necessity of it considering the overwhelming majority of drivers are already male. This feature is trying to even out the odds of women getting picked up by other women which just isn’t very likely right now.

To seriously answer your question though, this is a marketing tactic to get more business from women who they can see use the app less than men. They’re a business at the end of the day and it’s a way they’re predicting, whether correct or not, to increase sales.

CaptFeather , to news in Lyft’s new feature lets women and non-binary riders request their driver’s gender

How many times have you been assaulted or abused by a woman? Because almost every single woman I know can count the multiple times they’ve been abused or sexually assaulted by a man. Just because everyone is capable doesn’t mean everyone is equally likely to commit these crimes.
