L.A. and Orange County hotel workers are still threatening to strike this weekend. Contract expires in less than an hour. -- (link) - Meg Jun 30, 23:12 1

- What sort of monster eats a Kit-Kat like that?? -- nm - Fuzzy Jul 1, 04:09 2
  - It's obviously a terrible way to eat a kitkat: the fingers break apart and chocolate chunks spill everywhere. - Beryllium Jul 1, 09:18
  - Seriously! Only a maniac would eat it like that. -- nm - Krusty Jul 1, 04:52
- I'll happily take your share :) -- nm - Meg Jun 30, 21:52 1

Uh, yeah, that's a problem. And it sounds exhausting. -- (link) - Beryllium Jun 30, 21:34 [mastodon] 4
- Maybe they could reach out to their local elected officials and mention this. It would help more than just posting it on a message board. -- nm - Krusty Jul 1, 05:10
- counterpoint: as tiresome as the emails are, ActBlue has been generally a tremendous success in electing Dems to actual office -- (link) - hollywood big shot Jun 30, 21:41 1

- Yup, I'm sure you'll still be able to buy soda and ice tea in plastic. Drink that and refill with water before you board. -- nm - Meg Jun 30, 21:17 1
  - people that bring bottled water want (most of them) *purified* water, with all the forever chems filtered out.... - zeitgeist Jul 1, 01:59
- I've seen water in those little boxes like juice boxes. Is that OK? -- nm - Mop🧹 Jun 30, 21:08 1
  - "boxed water is better" -- nm - . Jul 1, 00:47
- Yes it is. Not everyone has/brings reusable water bottles especially because of confusion over TSA regulations. -- nm - spamlet 🤦🏻‍♂️ Jun 30, 20:29 6
  - My reusable water bottle is 40oz -- nm - Beryllium Jun 30, 22:05
  - So many of those regulations should be scrapped as well. -- nm - Qale Jun 30, 21:02 1
    - Like 98% of them. -- nm - Krusty Jun 30, 21:44
  - I was going to ask. Can you bring your own water bottle? -- nm - Krusty Jun 30, 20:50 2
    - As long as it’s empty, yes. More airports are putting in the bottle fillers but it’s really hit and miss. -- nm - spamlet 🤦🏻‍♂️ Jun 30, 20:57 1
      - Empty? That's useless. And I'm not drinking bathroom water. People poo in that room. -- nm - Krusty Jun 30, 21:43

- Will she get the Old Town Road treatment afterwards? -- nm - Qale Jun 30, 21:03
- I've heard his version. It wasn't bad, but the entire time I was listening to it, I had a feeling it should be with someone else. -- (edited) - Beryllium Jun 30, 20:13 1
  - 100%!! -- nm - mandy on home machine Jun 30, 20:14
- That's pretty cool. - ReluctantCynic Jun 30, 19:46 15
  - I'm waiting for Mickey Guyton to do this for one of her own songs. She's really great. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 30, 20:18
  - agreed, but honestly if they had rereleased chapman's version, it might have done just as well. nothing new in dude's version. -- nm - mandy on home machine Jun 30, 19:59 13
    - also toooootally listening to her first album on the way to harrisburg tomorrow. I bet I still know every lyric. -- nm - mandy on home machine Jun 30, 20:00 12

        interesting. he can't license to tv shows, can't do a music video, coulnd't promo the fact that he was doing it... -- (link) - Remlik Jun 30, 20:50 7
        
        He must've really had a connection to it to agree to all that. - Beryllium Jun 30, 20:59 5
        
        I think it's most interesting she has a firm no-sample policy but he could do this. I'd assume that she's happy about getting her cut...but that - Will Hunting Jun 30, 21:05 2
        
        difference between a mechanical license for cover versions (which artists have no veto over, just get paid the statutory license fee) and sampling - hollywood big shot Jun 30, 21:43 1
        
        I read the article -- I get the "Why", but given she's protective enough to file suit in the sampling, I'm not assuming she's cool with the cover. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 30, 21:47
        
        Maybe his mom loved it and played it all the time? -- nm - Pippy 🏳️‍🌈 Jun 30, 21:03 1

that 21 minute one take/one shot in Extraction 2 is pretty damn cool...yes I know they used editing tricks. -- nm - Remlik Jun 30, 19:40 2
- I just saw that. Intense. Y’all are fired for not mentioning the cameo - Pippy 🏳️‍🌈 Jun 30, 20:50
- I guess it was pretty good, for a call of duty cutscene. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 30, 20:14
NYC's sweeps of homeless with social workers along with cops has only found permanent housing for 3 despite thousands of contacts -- (link) - zeitgeist Jun 30, 19:39 7
- "DHS can only offer services and must respect the wishes of individuals who decline.” - Mop🧹 Jun 30, 20:06 6
  - The housing first policy has been a complete failure in LA. Addiction and mental illness have to be addressed. The Gov. had a law passed making it - jnine Jul 1, 11:25
  - This is what our local outreach team faces. Every week they clean up an encampment but very few people accept services. -- nm - Meg Jun 30, 20:08 4
    - Presumably, the prevalent - but not universal - problem is mental illness. The solution is more psychiatric care. -- nm - Mop🧹 Jun 30, 20:11 3
      - How? They can't be forced to get care or take their medication. We have every social service you can think of to assist people. - Krusty Jun 30, 20:24
      - That and addiction but you can't force them into care. -- nm - Meg Jun 30, 20:16 1
        
        Exactly. Continued outreach can help and has shown to get people to eventually accept the care and services. -- nm - Krusty Jun 30, 20:25

- Chair's good. Fabric not so much. -- nm - . Jul 1, 01:52
- How can I possibly judge when there are no overweight cats on it? -- nm - mafic Jun 30, 19:47 2
  - very fair point. I'll post photos next week. note that to be inclusionistic we say "differently weighted," not "overweight." -- nm - mandy on home machine Jun 30, 19:54 1
    - It’s a six sigma cat, but not a lean six sigma. -- nm - mafic Jun 30, 22:12
- I really like that chair and think you made a good choice. -- nm - Krusty Jun 30, 19:47 4
  - "and I would totally sit on it if I were a cat..." thank you so much for validating me. -- nm - mandy on home machine Jun 30, 19:54 1
    - 😆 -- nm - Krusty Jun 30, 20:02

  - At talking myself out of them. I think I just had 1000% of my daily caloric requirement but it was good -- nm - crash davis 😺 Jun 30, 20:09 1
    - I should try them. Never been fond of green peppers, but I keep trying others and like poblanos. Now to find a restaurant that has them -- nm - . Jul 1, 00:28

That's what parents do. They die. This movie is the most fucked up thing ever. 3 laughing montages so far -- nm - Beaker Jun 30, 19:03 2
- The 4 of us are crying laughing again. A car blows up at the start and the scene goes to *car on fire* rather than a car on fire - Beaker Jun 30, 19:08 1
  - OK. U have to watch this movie while drinking. -- nm - Beaker Jun 30, 19:10
My wife has a Master’s degree. Her retirement job requires a HS diploma. The state is requiring a copy of her diploma to certify her. - spamlet 🤦🏻‍♂️ Jun 30, 19:01 8
- You can contact your HS to request official copies. I actually did this recently for a similarly absurd reason. -- nm - psilotum Jun 30, 21:30
- A conversation like this would seriously make me reconsider my employment there. -- nm - Qale Jun 30, 21:07
- There's a conversation happening in academia about certification and badging. - Mop🧹 Jun 30, 20:09 1
  - It’s more of “sorry, we won’t accept your Master’s degree to prove you have a HS education” -- nm - spamlet 🤦🏻‍♂️ Jun 30, 20:18
- Glad nobody ever wanted mine. I always had to check 'high school equivalent' unti 1998. And that was an AA :/ -- nm - Meg Jun 30, 19:17 2
  - I dropped out of high school to go to college. I'm pretty sure I officially graduated from high school but I also got my GED in college. -- (edited) - . Jun 30, 19:22 1

        He looks like the Wish.com Luke Perry. - Will Hunting 🍔🍟🍔🍹🍷 Jun 30, 19:28 3
        
        Fatter? He probably doesn't have 5% body fat. -- nm - David Jun 30, 19:34 2
        
        His face is puffier. Perry was lean chiseled heartthrob. This kid isn't. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 30, 20:02 1
        
        This kid is more muscle than person. -- nm - David Jun 30, 20:17
