I'm interested in being just not civil, but excellent in interacting with others of different viewpoints in an online world where we can so viciously defend our echo chambers and be so dismissive of other perspectives.
Because this is less and less possible here, I'm largely offline and am not sure if I'll be returning. It was fun back when civility was a trend on qoto.

Q: What did socialists use to light their homes before candles?

A: Electricity!
Employee income stays the same as whole foods raises to $15/hour pay and slashes hours while requiring the same amount of work done in fewer hours.
So employees get paid the same for contributing the same value. They just have to do so faster now.
How is the same pay now a "livable wage"? It's almost like those demanding arbitrary raises to arbitrary dollar amounts per hour don't understand how this works.
“... the overall store budget thus remained about the same despite the wage increase.
The employee also said that workers were directed to complete tasks faster to stay in line with their new hours"

US states renamed for countries with similar GDPs.
A weekend project is still a weekend project no matter how much time has passed between the start and end weekend...right?
Frosted conifers earlier this week. It was uncharacteristically foggy and (characteristically) freezing. Not sure if freezing fog is responsible for the cool way the snow formed or if it was just coincidence.

And we've come full political circle
RT @joelpollak
Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who rigged the Democratic Party primary so only Hillary Clinton could win, and was forced to resign because of it, is questioning Michael Cohen, who is going to federal prison for lying, about whether Trump rigged the election. You can't make this up! 🤣

My diet is going real well, but truer words have never been spoken..
Headline after headline drive a narrative, what we all think we know about what's happening in our own country or another is usually just the Avaliably Heuristic of what we recall from headlines.
Inventing claims discredit real issues. Telling fantasy stories about how evil The Other is like this actor has done isn't fighting against hate. It is hate and it stokes hate.
Sadly many in the major media outlets and in politics are happy to stoke hate like this a people divided is easier to gain power over.
