If I give France $1,000,000,000 to use a specific shade of color, but make the color on Brazilian machinery owned by Brazilians... I've still given France $1B. Have I not?

I used to think my own sight was bad enough. I get little tiny Starbursts around lights. And I mean tiny. This dot - • - would look like the same dot with a / plastered on top.

Finding out the OP picture is how my wife sees the world at night was a little mind blowing. I knew it could get bad, but damn.

You ask a bunch of questions about a task in order to convince the client that the task doesn't need to be done at all.

I ask a bunch of questions because I've forgotten half the answers already and am trying to make enough stick that I can make something close enough they don't notice my attention is wandering while they blather.

We are not the same.

It's Sony, a Japanese company.

Why would they care about what people in private

Lol. Lmao, even.

Sony cares a bit too much about how people use the things they own that Sony made.

Japan is famous for its laws and customs regarding nudity, sex, porn, accessories, etc... Anything you might expect a stereotypical prude to clutch their pearls over, really. It's simply gasp too obscene!

Rude is the coworker who thinks their shirts meant to antagonize anyone left of the US version of "center" are hilarious, rude are the coworkers who talk shit about trans people on break, rude are those who spend every conversation saying "mentally ill people should be locked up and oh by the way trans people are mentally ill", rude are the ones who make the LGBTQ employees scared that one day they'll just come to work and find a parking lot full of people waiting to jump them because the government said it's legal.

I consider myself quite polite when these things happen in my workplace and I'm not slashing tires or torching cars, and instead all I do is say "hey that's not okay and here's why..."

Doesn't stop HR from coming and telling me I need to be respectful of my coworkers opinions. (HR guy is a democrat, but like... One of those "if you're being oppressed please resist quietly and peacefully within the confines of the oppressive laws made specifically to target you" kind of liberals)

Remember kids: the standard you walk past is the standard you accept.

I was gonna ask "which kind" but it's definitely both.

Men will LITERALLY construct an entire persona based around their phobias as a result of trauma over witnessing the murder of their parents during a mugging orchestrated by crime bosses and spend millions of dollars on toys and gadgets to act out revenge fantasies and calling it vigilante justice rather than go to therapy.

This gave me quite the giggle.

Unfortunately, I have no one in my life who will think it's funny.

edit: wow, Redditors are better at accepting the truth, lol

So go pander to them.

If I own something, I can do whatever I like with it because it's mine.

If I can't do what I like, it's not truly mine.

He was more than a hero.

He was a union man.
