Mark Ruffalo is also on Masto

It’s actually not necessarily the employer’s fault- if they don’t own the restaurant (and most don’t) the commercial landlord can force them to hire at tipped wage because they likely have a revenue sharing agreement.

But my Lord is good, right, and honourable, and if he sees fit to install a cryptominer on your system through an ad exploit, surely he has his reasons!

“If you don’t pledge fealty to your feudal Lord, you don’t care about the artists for which he is patron.”

I don’t care about creators who demand that I surrender my privacy as the only valid show of support for them.

Why assume I’m being pedantic? The social media landscape is littered with “I fucking love science” clickbait, “amazing nature” accounts that are literally AI generated photos, hell, the entire fields of evolutionary psychology and nutrition ought to be a wholesale indictment of our contemporary scientific establishment.

This isn’t pedantry, I am serious as a heart attack.

I trust a scientist to follow the scientific method.

The scientific method isn’t an epistemological framework, it’s a framework for practicing science.

That doesn’t explain at all how a waiter who is being told to work 32 hours instead of 40, or 10 hour shifts instead of 8, is making more money or is otherwise better off.

If there’s another policy like raising the minimum wage or UBI that’s required to make this work, it should be stated.

The proper scientific answer to that question is not to trust or not trust. You should absolutely do your own testing, whether that means asking good questions of the experts, reading the existing research carefully, up to and including reproducing the experiment yourself where practicable.

If an experiment is impossible to reproduce, then you should be asking yourself what good its results are.

So here’s what I’m talking about, we have a legally mandated 8-hour workday. It’s not implied that you’re changing that to a 10-hour workday.

Also, if you’ve never worked a 10-hour day, maybe you don’t quite understand how much harder than 8 hours it is for most people- because fatigue compounds faster than a linear rate.

So someone who is paid hourly and assumes you’re retaining the 8-hour workday isn’t likely to understand how they’re getting paid for 40 hours while working 32.

And literally everything has to do with lived experience. Listen to people and try to understand their position. Being educated isn’t the same thing as being intelligent and knowing how to understand different perspectives.

A Big Mouth Billy Bass that’s been hacked with a recording of someone screaming “POORLY EDUCATED!”

It certainly makes you more comprehensible to people who don’t speak English as their native tongue.

You’d be surprised how many PhD-holders do coke/meth.

What do you mean by “trusting in science”? Science isn’t meant to be trusted, it’s meant to be verified.

Given the reproducibility crisis occurring right now, nobody should be “trusting” in science as a matter of course- we should be verifying the decades of unverified research and dismissing the unverifiable research.

We fucked up the entire field of Alzheimer’s research for nearly a quarter century by “trusting in science”. We still bias towards publishing new research in academia over reproducing existing research. Science has a big problem with credibility right now and saying “oh just trust in science” isn’t the solution.

Some people still don’t have unlimited texts, which literally does charge by the letter.

I don’t know if that’s necessarily wrong of them. There isn’t any precedent for hourly workers to be paid when they’re not working. The “four day workweek” as described simply means that any time over 32 hours a week is overtime. Hourly workers in general don’t really have a “workweek” anyway because they will often have multiple jobs or will work whatever shift they can pick up that works with their schedule.

They understood how the 4-day workweek works based on how the 5-day workweek works. I think maybe you need to listen more to them and try to understand your own proposition better.

When companies voluntarily implement 4-day workweeks, they are literally either cutting 8 hours or doing 10-hour shifts. They do not pay for hours not worked.

How has nobody ported r/pizzacrimes to Lemmy yet

!circlejerk@lemmy.world is that way

Yeah, lemmy needs an alias feature like Mastodon

Suddenly reminded of the video of the kid microwaving a glowstick and their father calling them a ding-a-ling for ruining their awesome shirt.
