I’m getting laid.

Poor BadActorLol - can’t even land a comedy porn gig. Maybe time to reconsider your Hollywood dreams and head on home, my guy.

Every day is pizza day here!!! That’s what makes us a “Great Place to Work” (GPTW^TM)

Would you care for a chair massage?

Thanks for the additional info. Sorry - that article I posted was not very well researched - I should have looked for something better, but was just making a point that inequity is still a big problem in a “prosperous” Mexico.

I appreciate you also confirming that working conditions in maquiladoras are accountable to some decent standards, and that they provide additional benefits - overtime pay rates being one of them, which is encouraging to hear - I wonder if that was due to labor unions or not.

Clearly, they are better places to work than many other local options. So for sure, not everything about maquiladoras is negative - and they are certainly not the root cause of disparity in North America. Thanks again for correcting the perception I might have given with that article.

Concur. Also long time user here - but prefer to skip the data collection bit. Imagine showing up at the dentist some day and being chided for missing your back molars last Tuesday.

I think Kath and Kim is a keeper. Like Kingswood Country, the suburban social commentary runs deeper than the gags make it appear. Based on your mention of The Sullivans, I would also recomend Power Without Glory if you can find it. That is a largely true story from that era which was very well done.

The primary use case is for making sure kids and elderly loved ones are brushing their teeth and keeping the brush charged. Also supposedly senses if all teeth are being properly cleaned, although based on reviews that sounds like a stretch. But yeah, the aggregated data is probably marketable somehow - I didn’t check their privacy policies.

Electric toothbrushes are a thing. It’s understandable that the vendors would like a rationale to track usage. Not beyond the bounds of possibility that in ten years it may be impossible to buy an electric toothbrush that doesn’t track usage and try to phone home to report it.

It was nice while it lasted. Moved to MX.

Presumably, we can expect 404 to eventually replace 42 as the answer to everything.

A German guy once told me that the original penalty for violating that law was that the brewer was to be drowned in his own beer - to be fair, he was quite drunk at the time, so it might be complete bullshit.

so you order on a touch screen that has been used by every nosepickin’ customer before you and then chow down on food you eat with your hands? Sounds delicious.

Awesome! Here – enjoy another mocha latte on us!

Great idea! Here’s a starbucks gift voucher for your initiative! Now if we can just figure out how to simulate pizza…

well, ackshually - The fishy ingredient in beer that bothers vegetarians - BBC

to be fair, he doesn’t understand anything.

Subsidizing daycare vs better wages for working parents. Sounds like a plan.

“Despite working long hours doing many times strenuous and dangerous work, maquila workers earn only 50 cents to 1 dollar per hour.”

That’s Capricorn is it? https://piped.video/watch?v=WIjBO26qjYM (Life of Brian - 3 wise men)

wasn’t it originally idiotically named “SQL/Server”?

Quick! Somebody order more pizza and ping pong tables…
