Re: Two Minutes Hate
More like 2 seconds of hate but... goddamnit don’t call your recipe ‘meatless’ if it includes anchovies. As a part of sauce flavoring and not a meat filling I get calling it a cheese lasagna and not a fish lasanga but a ‘meatless’ cheese lasanga it is not.
(Dried mushroom and spinach powder with a bunch of msg worked well enough.)

Re: Two Minutes Hate
Why have so many drivers not learned, if they're turning right, to pull closer to the curb, so that they're not blocking the effin' traffic lane?!

“I have never seen a girl so young and with so many mental disorders treated by so many adults as a guru,” Bolt wrote.
“Far more interesting is why so many adults – including elected politicians, top business leaders, the Pope and journalists – treat a young and strange girl with such awe and even rapture.
“Her intense fear of the climate is not surprising from someone with disorders which intensify fears.”

Re: Two Minutes Hate
That's very interesting. I would have thought one of our chemical moguls would be the highest salaried person. Barring that I would have thought for sure one of the Big University peoples would make more than a community college guy.
I just relooked. It's public employee salaries. I might've thought a UD guy or maybe a DSU guy would make more than a community college.

Special shout-out to Hawai’i, for the highest-paid state employee being… a staff surgeon at the University of Hawai’i. Y’know, I can almost understand that one if I squint right. Surgeons do valuable, specialised work that literally saves lives, and which most people couldn’t do. I don’t mind them making salaries in the mid-six figures so much.
Ours is, of course, a football coach (Dan Mullen). I wasn’t expecting anything less from Floriduh. He makes some $6M more than Ron DeSantis, but frankly, I can’t say having someone make $6M more than DeSantis bothers me as much as it would if DeSantis’ seat weren’t stolen to begin with. If it were Andrew Gillum in the governor’s mansion (as it would have been without Bat Boy Voldemort Skeletor Lex Luthor Rick Scott’s copious and probably illegal voter suppression during the last election), I’d be quite a bit more upset.
(The idea that anyone makes $6M per year is itself obscene, actually. But I really can’t stand DeSantis. Fuck that racist motherfucker.)

Re: Two Minutes Hate
This is some high-quality hate porn right here. A black man hired a lawyer and sued a former employer in federal court for race discrimination. Dude got a measure of vindication when the case settled, only to have his bank call the cops on him when he tried to negotiate the settlement checks.

Re: Two Minutes Hate
The legal field is doing its part to keep checks (cheques) alive in the US.*
Lawyers here appear to be the absolute latest adopters of any and all technological advancements, especially if they relate directly to getting paid. Sometimes an actual checkque/k (put that in ALL CAPS and it'd look like a Klingon word for vomit) is the only way to pay on a contract.
Then again, another heavy hitter in the war against paperless economy would be the predatory checque/k cashing industry. Basically, people on the fringes tend to have trouble getting bank accounts, so a paper cheque/k is the best they can get - and while in theory they could get all of the money the piece of paper says, the most convenient and viable option is your local check cashing office, where they're happy to give you your money right away, for a not-entirely-modest fee. A neighborhood's average income is in inverse proportion to the number of check cashing services.
Hey, a tangent that's still on topic. Nice. Sorta.
*Mr. Maturin, please correct me if I'm wrong.

And don't forget local governments. I decided to pay my tax bill and went online to see whether I could. Oh yeah: PayPal, MasterCard, Visa ... all were available. For a fucking FEE! And not a reasonable amount, neither. To a $909 tax bill, please add $24. The hell?!
So I'm going write a check--always assuming I can find my checkbook--and walk it down to the trustee on my lunch break. And maybe complain to no one who can do anything because decision makers don't work the clerk's office.
Harrumph.

Re: Two Minutes Hate
Patreon, after the last PR fiasco where they tried to make small donations more expensive, decided on a different tactic: Convince their creators to drop the $1 tier. Yes, Patreon is trying to improve their bottom line by making the creators look like assholes.
Blue Delliquanti @ C2E2 S-6A! on Twitter: "I'm getting tired of Patreon finding creative new ways to make its service worse and think it's doing users a favor.
Here's an email I got telling me what a great idea it will be for me to unpublish my $1+ tier, cutting off new $1+ patrons and disincentivizing current ones.| https://t.co/uYhdQi8SIB"

|
Jenny Nicholson don't talk to me about Sonic on Twitter: "Patreon just sent out this automated email that takes like 8 paragraphs and an attached video to explain that $3 is more than $1¦ https://t.co/3lGFl5MJJV"
So I support 15 different creators, 10 of which are at the $1 level. Patreon's suggestion wouldn't stop me from paying at that level, only prevent new people to join at that level and "encourage" me to increase the support I give.
I don't know how well this will work. There are several content creators I've already passed on because I don't want to pay them more than people I like better. I also think the idea behind crowd funding is to get a lot of people to give you small amounts, and so I give to a decent number of different creators and not more to a fewer number. Also, I'm generally cheap, so fuck you Patreon.

Re: Two Minutes Hate
Jesus, the Center for Inquiry is revealing what a shitty, petty organization it is.
Last year, I commended CFI's new host for the Point of Inquiry podcast, Kavin Senapathy. A month after I posted this, CFI fired her.
She recently wrote an opinion piece on here separation from the organization:
The Skeptics Movement Can't Afford to Ignore Racial Inequality
Quote:
“In light of the dissatisfaction you have expressed in your ongoing relationship with the Center for Inquiry and the organization’s dissatisfaction with its ongoing relationship with you, it is in both our interests that we part ways,” the organization wrote.
|
Well, that was bad enough, but after Senapathy went public with this opinion piece, they scrubbed all of her articles and podcasts from their website, I assume in a petty act of revenge.

Hotel staff sacked on the spot and made homeless amid coronavirus outbreak | Metro News
Caution: may have unmuted autoplay video
Quote:
Staff at a hotel in the Scottish Highlands have been sacked on the spot and told to leave their accommodation immediately – with the company pinning the blame on government coronavirus advice. A letter was sent to workers at the Coylumbridge Hotel in Aviemore – which is run by the Britannia Hotels group – who appear to have made the decision based on advice from the ongoing Covid-19 outbreak. A member of staff at the hotel said some people had been affected, but that it was not 30, as had been reported elsewhere. The ‘heartless’ letter, circulating on social media along with calls for a boycott, has been slammed by politicians, industry leaders and the public alike, with Britannia being hammered for offering ‘one week’s pay in lieu of notice’ – despite new measures to help businesses. It says: ‘Taking the latest government advice, this letter is to confirm that with effect from March 19 2020, your employment has been terminated as your services are no longer required.

‘Cold, brutal, shocking’: Workers told they would be homeless after Scottish hotel sacks hospitality staff who lived on site | The Independent
Quote:
Around a dozen workers at a Scottish hotel have received a letter saying they had been redundant and would be kicked out of their accommodation amid the coronavirus outbreak.
Britannia Hotels has since apologised for the "incorrect correspondence".
The news sparked outrage from politicians and tourism authorities, who had called the letter "shocking" and "appalling".
Alvaro Garcia, who worked at the Coylumbridge Hotel near Aviemore, said he learned he had lost his job and had to vacate from the premise straight away.
The waiter from Spain said: “They gave me a letter and said I had to leave on the same day.”
|
It's not just that they have been sacked with minimal pay, it's that some of them had no other accommodation in the UK - and can't exactly fly back to Spain or wherever in the current situation. One has camping gear so will camp in the forest ... not an option for many.
