AreWeDrunkYet posted:If something changed and a car commute that took 20 minutes now took 40, but the bus or a bike still took 30 minutes, you wouldn't reconsider your options? Your question is taking quite a lot of liberties with what I actually said. You're assuming alternatives exist. You're also assuming that if alternatives exist, they are reliable. I mean, personally in my case it would take 1.5 hours to use any non-car option. And even if you did make my car commute take 2 hours instead of 25 minutes, no I still wouldn't because I actually have to show up on time. And the last time I had to rely on public transport to get to work, I got written up for being late so frequently due to busses leaving early, or the train not going. But you've entirely missed the point. The point is that going "Hey, lets just make cars take a lot longer, i'm totally sure a reliable and effective public transit system will just magically appear!" is the same thing as people talking about how the free market will fix all the problems.

Iain posted:I'd like to piggyback off this, hasn't the pandemic shown that a lot of positions can be done via work from home? What if the need to drive to work at all was reduced? I know there would be huge pushback but what if the government gave companies their sweet sweet tax breaks if a certain percentage of their workforce was work from home? This would help with climate change as well right? You could even alternate like some companies come in person on certain weekdays and others get other week days. Which kind of defeats the purpose I guess and introduces all the issues being discussed. Didn't the first month of the pandemic see a huge drop in pollution? I seem to remember something about that. The first month was very light traffic everywhere.

My gf sometimes goes to vegas. Once there, she goes to the white castle near her favorite hotel, and plays Britney Spears slots (her favorite slot machine) while drinking beer and eating sliders.

Also glad that j&j shots got reapproved out whatever while i was still on my break so i wasn't losing hours. Hopefully i should be back to normal by the 6th The first shot was barely anything. I had slight sniffles for an hour and my arm was a bit tender for a few days.

Retrowave Joe posted:One aspect of work from home culture I like is people texting to see if it’s a good time to call. Oftentimes I can get by with a no, they’ll reply with an okay and their question, and I can answer it with a text. It saves so much time and unnecessary chitchat. Have you had similar experiences? Yea. Saying "call me" will guarantee that I will never call you. Asking if you can call me will either get a "yes" or "No, just ask in text"

Defenestrategy posted:I don't get it, is there some reason you should still be masking even if vaccinated now? I still do it, because a lot of places here will refuse you service and that's fair, because there's no way to accurately verify vaccination status anyway. Is it because people think CDC guidance is more powerful than it is? That dumbasses who aren't gonna vaccinate are gonna magically stop masking just because the CDC said "vaccinated people are gonna be fine"? Because I haven't had a cold or flu since before the pandemic started and i'd like to continue doing that. Also just because i'm vaccinated doesn't mean i'm immune.

boop the snoot posted:The only people I see so far taking advantage of the new cdc guidance are older white dudes. Everyone else seems to be a fan of masks still. We had to put up a "Masks Required" sign for the first time TODAY. Because so many people would walk in with no mask, either go "oh, ya'all still doing masks? Weird" and go get their mask, or be all huffy when we refuse to help them until they put a mask on.

I'm less bothered about the space golf courses use as the amount of water. They average 130,000 gallons per course per day. For sense of scale, flint Michigan needs about 95,000 gallons of drinking water per day. CainFortea fucked around with this message at 20:20 on May 24, 2021 |

Torrannor posted:There are other possible interpretations of this move. Biden is having the Department of Education review whether he has the authority to forgive student loan debt via executive action. A result is expected soon-ish, and if he got advance notice that he likely does have that authority, it would make sense to exclude the debt forgiveness from the budget. No there isn't.

Oxygenpoisoning posted:Golf sucks but they use non potable water typically. I grew up in FL and all of those courses smell like sewage first thing in the morning. I played peewee football with a couple kids from a gated community and even their fancy rear end country club course smelled awful. The use of the words "For a sense of scale" was supposed to convey the idea that the comparison was for scale purposes, not a 1:1 direct correlation. It's still an obscene amount of water that could be put to much better uses considering the droughts happening everywhere.

The White House is constantly grappling with the terrible Congress they have (mostly the Senate), though it beats a Congress with a Republican chamber. Do you really think that if the senate dems suddenly stopped being lovely that Biden would be leading a charge to do all those things? (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

facialimpediment posted:But it's not on Biden that stuff like the minimum wage of $15 isn't a thing right now. And it's not like Biden has power over the Sinemas/Manchins of the Senate, so he would be "leading a charge" as they would be reading the latest paper version of Politico magazine. But he's not exactly prodding them hard either! He does have some power though. You don't get to be nominated and voted in as president without having some levers of power in your own internal party, through things like campaigning. It's not like Trump was the first president to ever support or not support his own party candidates. Although I will grant most of the rest of them do it more in the primaries and not a week before the election.
