Obviously by how many non-text characters are in their display name.

It’s important that you know: the singular of “dice” is “die”.

If you liked RIF, you’ll like Jerboa.

I really like chartreuse, and am drawn to Ryobi for that reason. But I get most of my tools secondhand or as gifts, so I rarely pick.

my mom’s on lemmy and she doesn’t like when I call myself fat

That’s that the grater’s for, yeah.

• A boss who’s not gonna give me shit about getting there twenty minutes before we open instead of thirty.

• A secure place to store my uniform and tools when I’m off the clock so I don’t have to haul them back and forth every time.

• Teammates who treat each other with mutual respect.

• All the iced tea I can drink.

• No, more iced tea, I’m still thirsty.

• I’m making more iced tea, don’t try to stop me.

Letting children run around is fine as long as they are well-behaved.

Pedicure is also what fat lazy bastards like me get instead of bending over to trim our own toenails.

They don’t break out the polish for my feet. They get out a ping-pong paddle sized cheese grater. The go at my cuticles with what I swear look like electrician’s pliers.

Which is good, IMO, or we would’ve gotten here much sooner. Populism is where democracies go to die, and the mechanisms of a representative republic help keep your average idiots from collectively voting us there.

It stems back to an earlier problem, which is corporate personhood in general and limited liability in particular.

Donations to political candidates must be public, but donations to organizations need not be. But with the fig leaf of corporate personhood, organizations who take in anonymous donations can act as entities to themselves and donate to political candidates. It’s the same reason a company can go broke and owe their vendors and employees millions while the executives enrich themselves. It all comes back to corporate personhood.
