It doesn’t matter how fancy the place is. Oysters are filter feeders and clean up the water ways of anything and everything. All it takes is a boat to flush its toilet somewhere near the oyster field and the whole lot will be contaminated.

It’s a natural thing that occurs when your pay is based on stocks that respond heavily to quarterly results. Stay in for 2 - 3 years, drive stock prices up, get out, and leave the mess for the next leadership team.

Yankee is a nickname for all Americans in the rest of the world.

Streaming services didn’t exist when this court case happened. Many artists were already suing Napster, but weren’t famous enough to get publicity. Someone released an unfinished edit of “I disappear” which is what triggered Metallica to get involved. Dr Dre also jumped into the suit but I’ve never heard anyone talk about boycotting his music or the music he produced.

As greedy as you think they might have been, without them, a lot of smaller bands would have just washed up. People work really hard to make music, shouldn’t they get paid for it?

Best town in the world.

Didn’t they also live through all of what you just mentioned? What makes their experience of those events different than yours? It is all perspective. How do you know what it was like to be alive during the civil right’s movement, the Cuban missile crisis, the oil crisis, the assassinations of JFK and MLK Jr, the Vietnam war and the draft, the real estate crash in the 1980’s, etc.

It turns out that people are rubbish at understanding others perspective and life experiences. There is no hand book on how to be an adult and how to live. Giving advice is difficult. Give your parents a break and realize that they are people too.

If you will never live in the US, you should renounce your citizenship. This will be permanent and irrevocable, so consider it wisely. This eliminates any issue with not filing taxes while working overseas.

LOL, whoops!

What are you doing on a cell phone for that cost? There are international phone plans that would be so much cheaper.

There’s no research showing that it is an effective treatment.

What’s your metric that you improved 600%?

Why are you using vinegar in your ears? That’s not typical.

It’s not just implemented by tech companies, it’s pretty standard across the board for salaried positions.

Performance improvement plan.

It is most efficient to leave the toilet seat in the position it is used. The same argument applies for the bidet settings.

I can say that in my case in New Zealand, there was one store to buy the uniforms and shoes with no exception. Everyone was equal and had the same set of clothes to wear, the only exception is that the boys wore grey and green and the girls had the option of white. The uniforms are still the same decades later.

Just to be clear, Beehaw defederated LW and many others because they allowed for open sign ups.

Again, that’s not what deodorant does.

I’m not sure you understand what a deodorant does. It doesn’t stop you from sweating, but it makes you not smell.
