letting your dumb rear end cat run around killing poo poo isn’t plastic straws. they’re a nuisance and contribute to feral cat populations, too, and spread diseases. if you can’t bear to keep your cat in the house, you shouldn’t have a cat, frankly. people freak out when even small dogs run around by themselves but when it comes to cats it’s just ~~~their nature they want to be outside~~~

anyway when it comes to birds i find plate glass to also be a huge problem and even harder to deal with but people are trying

Sparrows (a classic non-native species) accounts for 10% of the mortality.

interesting the number of birds that only showed up in 1 out of the 10 studies that included species-level data. Robins and Goldfinches showed up in the most studies, 5 of the 10.

THE POSSESSION OF WEALTH IS IN AND OF ITSELF A SIGN OF POOR VIRTUE. AS SUCH:
1 NEVER TRUST ANY RICH PERSON.
2 NEVER HIRE ANY RICH PERSON.
BY RULE 1, IT IS APPROPRIATE TO PRESUME THAT ALL DEGREES AND CREDENTIALS HELD BY A WEALTHY PERSON ARE FRAUDULENT. THIS JUSTIFIES RULE 2--RULE 1 NEEDS NO JUSTIFIC

A loyal attack dog posted:

1,400 words to say they’d prefer a policy that allows teams within Apple to determine their own remote work policies. Good communication is to the point, and this is not to the point at all. No wonder the letter-writer(s) feel “unheard”. It’s hard to get through the whole letter, and if you do make it through, it reeks of self indulgence. Some serious ✊🍆 vibes. The “formal requests” at the end about employees with disabilities and the “environmental impact of returning to onsite [sic] in-person work” are such transparent pandering. (I have never once heard of Apple not doing whatever it takes not only to accommodate employees with any disability, but to make them feel welcome.)

And who are these people who took jobs at Apple not knowing the company’s on-site culture? Do they think Apple built a new $4 billion campus on a lark? Three days a week on site and two days remote is a huge change for Apple.

Given that these letters keep leaking to Zoe Schiffer at The Verge, I can’t help but think that the problem for Apple is that they’ve grown so large that they’ve wound up hiring a lot of people who aren’t a good fit for Apple, and that it was a mistake for Apple to ever hook up a company-wide Slack. Companies are not democracies, but the employees writing these letters sure seem to think Apple is one. It’s not, and if it were, the company would sink in a snap. Apple’s new “three days on site” policy wasn’t a request for comments — it was a decision — and Tim Cook’s company-wide letter already leaves room for individual teams to adjust it to their own needs.

seriously. having to live somewhere specific for work is one of the biggest killers of work life balance. that’s what I cited when the company president personally asked me why I was moving back to Vancouver after three years in Victoria (city of newlyweds and nearly deads) and it took a short conversation for him to sorta get it

i'm sure the market in listowel or wherever the gently caress will hold up just fine when all those people suddenly discover they have to go back to work in toronto and all those small town rural ontario homes go on the market in the span of a few months

i think it’s fine to do just that actually with the huge caveat of making sure the company is okay with it first

apple isn’t shopify though for several reasons

Really curious to know what's gonna happen to Stockton and Modesto housing prices now that a lot of bay area companies are requiring people to go back to the office.

They were the fastest growing cities in the country during the pandemic.
