Hooks are the correct type of toilet paper holder unless you live on a boat or get regular leg spasming blumpkins and need to worry about the toilet paper falling off.

Nobody else seems to be having problems, so I guess that I lucked out and have had hosed up holders across several apartments.

It was today, at age 37, that I finally looked closely at a 'Littering Is Illegal' road sign and realized that the can isn't a face with a big, evil, toothy grin. Maybe I read too much Calvin and Hobbes as a kid.

Len posted:That saying "union-buster" hurts peoples feelings Oh?... quote:Union-buster is a divisive term, once meant to rally workers but now used to accuse employers who are often operating with the best interests of their employees in mind. It conjures up images of strike-breaking and suggests that those who champion a union-free operating environment are “bad guys” who will do anything to keep employees down, including violence or other illegal activities. It implies a divide-and-conquer mindset, where union-free businesses and labor organizations are just out to destroy each other. But in a global economy, where companies seek out the best talent to help the business succeed, that kind of divisiveness has no place and will not help anyone succeed ...good! gently caress them to death.

I could respect them being the bad guy if they at least admitted it Instead they want to pretend that they aren't villains and that's just poor form

Yeah, if there were one of those signs in my neighbourhood, I would've drawn a body under that can with a black marker by now. Probably using the double L for feet.

Baron von Eevl posted:I'd be happy to call them "scabs" instead if that's what they want. You'd be wrong, scab means something completely different. Scabs, while contemptible, are better because at least they perform labour rather than extracting value from others. If union busters don't want to be called union busters, the next most correct term is 'parasites'.

Ah, this is more the people who prevent the unions from forming and dissolve the early stages of organizing. I misunderstood and figured they wanted to bust unions by crossing the picket line and replacing unionized workers.

Today I learned something that's made the world a little less funny. Apparently, the correct way to refer to Wikipedia is "the Wikipedia". As in, "I read it in the Wikipedia." I am sorry.

There used to be Bigger Duplos. Can't remember what they were called but they looked ridiculous. e: Duplo Primo, apparently. And of course toys for literal babies are allowed to look ridiculous.
