Without taking the mental damage of looking at the actual article, I'm guessing this is just rebranding either having multiple jobs or having extra responsibilities in your one job.

Being engaged in US politics requires you to forget everything that happened more than 2 weeks ago.

Cilantro is great, but ginger tastes like soap to me.

Makes perfect sense when you see some of the build quality.

Why buy some shoddy slapped together EV at luxury prices when actual car manufacturers have EV options.

I was under the impression that "war with China" was at the top of the plans for over a decade now. I definitely remember seeing stuff like this years ago, and all that's changed is the US is even more reliant on Chinese imports.

Is a war-time economy still good if your manufacturing sector can't get 2/3rds of its raw materials?

By my estimation, half of white collar jobs are like this and everyone just engages in theater about how busy they are

This is common in a lot of blue collar manufacturing jobs I've had too. Gotta milk the work and get it done as close to the expectation as possible or else you're rewarded with more work and higher expectations.

Always been a huge point of frustration for me since I like to get a good pace going and stay busy since it makes the shift go by faster, but then I have to arbitrarily slow down to keep from giving the boss man the wrong idea.

I've kinda seen this in manufacturing for the last few years. Not explicitly "AI" but newer equipment designed around being smarter and not requiring skilled operators. Think like WordPress but for industrial machines; it might do basic stuff pretty well but fails at complex operations, and it's an atrocity if you ever look behind the scenes to do some troubleshooting.

hyper-exaggerated, racist caricatures of 19th century Americans.

It's literally impossible to exaggerate the racism of 19th century Americans.

This was a big deal for us because my dad had just bought a "TiVo" like a month before, so we could watch and replay this in real time like some magic space wizards.

The things is, Dems could have given us a single payer system but they specifically chose not to. They could have completely removed the risk of losing healthcare for everyone but they chose not to.

Poor guy didn't realize the mall ninja store was replaced with an Adam and Eve until he was half way home with the whip and handcuffs.
